Mountainannie, thank you very much for the compliment about my attitude. It is always nice to hear something like that, and encouraging. Also, thank you for the names of the other schools.
Sanation, duly noted. I have been reading these forums carefully for the past few weeks. I want as much information as I can gather before I make the move. That is why I am starting the process of applying to schools now. I read about the rising cost of living in another thread, and I realise that I must carefully plan my budget. Could you please elaborate about the culture of the country making the work environment challenging? I am curious because I am under the impression that the Dominican Republic is a very laid back place to be. I also understand that long working hours are to be expected.
The Dominican Republic will be the third country, aside from my native one, in which I will live. Moving to a new country is always a challenge, and I find that the people who are 'fresh off the boat', so to speak, survive better if they come under less misapprehensions. Any advice is welcome, because I will only move to a country if I am as well informed as is possible.
