How do I meet people in Dominican Rep?

When we asked people living in Dominican Rep about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...

"Take some Spanish classes, Join the Facebook group "The Santiago Healthy, Wealthy and Wise" go to meetup.com and join the santiago healthy wealthy and wise group. If you have a business join the Chamber of Commerce," said another expat in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Rep.

"First thing I do in any place is look for the Expat hangouts and sit and chat. I also look for a country/area specific website to make acquaintances. Works for me and I now have parties on 4th of July, US Thanksgiving and Easter Sunday to gather all the expats I can. I get from 125 to 175 people at my events 3 times a year. Great place for networking and making friends and getting to know your new country," wrote a member who made the move to Sosua, Dominican Rep.
