Places for American expats in Santo Domingo

[asklepios59]

I´m a recently arrived expat that has chosen Santo Domingo to retire. Can anyone tell me where do most Americans traditionally go to for fun and enjoyment here in Santo Domingo? Such as restaurants, social gatherings, etc. How can a newcomer get in touch with expats here? Please let me know as I love the place but feel very lonely.

what part of town are you going to live in??

Doesn´t matter where I live, let´s say near the Malecon. I have transportation, can go to different places. Can you tell me where I can meet other Americans?

I am Danish and dont really see anybody Danish here. I see Americans, Canadians etc.. And of course Dominicans. Be more open towards differnet nationalities and also the locals. Many Dominicans speak good English.

I sent you a private message.

And I vote for having a Meet and Greet - DR1 forum members living in Capital or visiting capital in a public place on a weekend...sometime in the future???

Other forums have a once a year Meet and Greet picnic or event.

Blessed Be

Carrie
