    hi, love my country. We do speak fast, esp. my people that do live there, I don't personally haha, but lots of my Fam does. The water thing, i've never had an issue using the tap water in our house in La Vega, but maybe it's dif. in other places in the country. My own family always tells me "be safe", but i've never felt unsafe either. Thanks for sharing my home

    6 months or else they have the option at customs to turn you away, check the regulations of the country you are going to to be sure

    When driving, police cars will be marked as such. Was driving on my first day when a pickup came behind me and started flashing red and blue siren lights. I moved over getting ready to stop however decided to continue driving slowly. Turned out not to be a cop. This happened a couple of times on the highway between Punta Cana and Santo Domingo.
