RE: Why I Left Canada and Became A Citizen of the Dominican Republic

in #money8 years ago

There is no gringo prejudice in Mexico that I've seen. Of course, almost anywhere you go in the world now, if you say you are from the US, most people kinda cringe (thinking about the heinous acts of the US government worldwide), but if you explain you left because of it, you'll be welcomed in Mexico, DR or most anywhere really.

Cool. I have heard there is a two tier pricing system in the markets though, but I have also never lived there either. Love the articles btw, Jeff. Big fan.

Oh, well, that is different. And, yes, if you are in the main tourist areas you will definitely be charged more for things like taxis... but it is really like $0.50 or $1 more (ie. nothing to lose sleep over)... and if you actually live there you get to know the people and then you get the local rate.

Understood. My daughter and I signed up for online Skype Spanish lessons. By the time I am ready to move, language shouldn't be an issue.
