I am sure by now some of you might know that I am working on financing for projects in the Dominican Republic. I live here for 4 years now and could not even imagine to leave here even just for one day. I put a very small list of interesting links together that might trigger your interest or give you at least an impression of life on the most beautiful island on earth (just my opinion!). Business here reminds me of what I have learned about the gold rush! It is just incredible. For the future I can say that the two main candidates for the upcoming election are stable, educated, progressminded folks. So, whoever might be the President will only further the development here.
