    The fight between the Dominicans and Haitians could be because of Haiti's history or the issues going on in Haiti today with the gangs, killing, raping, and starvation. Most countries only want to deal with their criminal citizens and not non-citizen criminals. The problem is when people attach the word criminal to everyone in another country, making it hard for good people to seek a better everyday life.

    I understand politics can be hard to understand:
    "The citizens of a Free State are or ought to be concerned about everything Political that may affect their own happiness and the condition of future generations."
    The conflict is about a water channel being built by haitians at the border that violates a treaty. Haiti is run by gangs. There's no social political order in Haiti. DR wants to resolve the conflict but there's no official authorities running Haiti at the moment.

    To correct silly compensation assumptions. Most Americans do not make 60K a year. The average American doesn’t make 60K a year, so saying 50-55k a year is nothing now is basically saying the majority of Americans make nothing. If you ever want to know the average income for any location, read the BLS, it’s the government agency that companies have to report pay to. In Atlanta the average salary is not 100K. Just to give substance to the big picture instead of what’s assumed.

    Retired military man wanting to live abroad……. Single, Financially secure at 100k yr tax free in pension and benefits so I don’t really have to worry about a work force, good health , 100% medical ( if a VA or embassy is near) . I am pretty simple, not flashy but I like nice things so I don’t have to have the biggest place to live. I am just tired of the climate and attitude here in America…… if only just for a year or two….everyone about self and trying to get over. I have been to Philippines & Thailand but that was military deployed standards and rule. Thought about Sosua also , last there in 2019 but not sure how I will like it long term……. Any advice is helpful. Hope 2024 is my last year here in Atlanta

    Dominican and Haitian problems are half historical ("EL deguelle de Moca"), half racism. Once in a while Haitians come accross DR and kill Land Onwers due to the abuses they endured. But this Play in the hands of the Racist Dominicans.
    The Beheadings of Moca was a massacre that took place in Santo Domingo in April 1805 when the invading Haitian army attacked civilians as ordered by Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Henri Christophe, during their retreat to Haiti after the failed 1805 Invasion to end French rule on the island. Wikipedia.
    Then in 1937 President Trujillo killed 17,000 Haitianos to uproot them from DR.
    This is a vicios cycle.
    Punta Cana and Sosua is a paradise 'cause they want the USA dollars. It's not real. Welcome to the real world.
    The USA rather spend US$ 43,000,000,000 in Ukraine than helping stop the killing in Haití. The US only knows how to destroyed countries. See what happened to Lybia and Kadafi. A civil warbfor almost 20 yrs by now.
    A Dominican York, a first hand witness to this problem.

    • @jamesletswin
      @jamesletswin  11 месяцев назад

      You can wear whatever you want at a resort in the Dominican Republic, and I often see guys wearing jewelry in Sosua. However, I wouldn't recommend it. Just make sure to stay within the tourist zone. Personally, I will always dress nicely wherever I go, and if I feel unsafe and can't wear certain clothes, then I don't think I should be there. I feel safe here in Sosua.

What happened to the amazing wife and kids??? The most important things of the story are completely left of the story but we have to hear story about being able to wear jewelry in Thailand but not in the DR.
    Something doesn't add up! The story should be: "Why I left my country, my lovely kids and my amazing ex-wife that I still like to call my wife, to end up in countries known as favorite destinations of sex tourists"

      it’s very hard to answer that question because I’m not sure where you live or would you consider it fun but I can speak for myself I usually pay 800 to 1300 for a round-trip ticket. while I’m there as a tourist I spend $45-100 per day, depending on what I’m doing for the day. But living there is something totally different. I find myself spending $10 a day.
