The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Saturday, March 17, 2012. Thoughts on the DR). So it's literally been months since I've sat down and done some blogging. I've been living in the DR now for almost 9 months (crazy right? And there some crazy observations that need to be made, at least in comparison to Russia. As you'll see, this post lends itself to a StuffDominicansLike type of post I did with Russia and I'll most likely be starting that here in the next few weeks, but for the moment, here goes!

The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Monday, December 27, 2010. Planes, Trains and Automobiles.oh and Vodka and Christmas Day! Before I discuss my Christmas day on a bus/train, let me preface this post with a short description of my Christmas Eve. Oh and it was at the same club where I saw that guy get shot (I was told he's out of the hospital and fine now) and I was happy to see the club now has signs posted saying you can't bring in guns. Anyways, onto CHRISTMAS DAY! Anyways, we arrived at the train...

The Tales of a Scotsman True.....in the DR!: Dominican Republic - The Bad: The Metro
http://crmcgregor.blogspot.com/2012/11/dominican-republic-bad-metro.html
The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Sunday, November 11, 2012. Dominican Republic - The Bad: The Metro. A couple weeks ago, I posted the 'bad' of the Dominican Republic, but I forgot one item that makes me extremely angry and needs to be addressed - the metro here in Santo Domingo. The metro here in the city is nice. It's clean, well policed and safe and despite there being only one line only going over a small portion of the city, there are problems with it. I can't handle it. These two things can s...

The Tales of a Scotsman True.....in the DR!: DR: A Bittersweet Goodbye
http://crmcgregor.blogspot.com/2013/06/dr-bittersweet-goodbye.html
The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Wednesday, June 5, 2013. DR: A Bittersweet Goodbye. I haven't blogged in god only knows how long (I really need to work on that), but despite that fact, here I am again. I'm writing this post now before it gets too late and I find myself entrenched in the types of things that come with the end of a year (school year) and moving abroad. This is my goodbye blog and it's going to be bittersweet. When I first arrived here, I was hard on the country. I got here in J...

The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Sunday, September 18, 2011. 101 Things: #2, 35, 68, 99 and 101. Here's a quick post on my 101 things list. 2 - Get a job. 35 - Get a new hobby. When Ana and I moved into our new place here in SD, we found some plants in much need of care on our balcony. Together we have nursed them to a thriving state, as well as adding some new ones to the mix (Gold Zinnias and we're working on some cilantro) so hopefully this works out well! 68 - Go to an IKEA. As some of you hav...

The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Monday, August 27, 2012. StuffDominicansLike - Update Aug. 26, 2012. I haven't worked on this as much as I would like, but hopefully this year will be better. Here goes a few more! Pouring, pouring rain and you need a single egg? Call 'em up and it'll cost you no more than say 25 cents for the whole transaction. Too hot outside and you need some juice and rum? Call 'em up and they'll be there! These are a modern marvel if you ask me. 7 Excessively Loud Music:.

The Tales of a Scotsman True.....in the DR!: July 2011
http://crmcgregor.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Friday, July 8, 2011. This post is considerably late in coming, I realize this, but at this point it can't really be helped can it? It's been a month since I left Elista and left Russia altogether. I still can't believe it happened so quickly and I still can't believe it's over. It was a trip both metaphorically and literally. Here's what I have to say:. I HAD A GREAT TIME! Living in the dorm (to an extent). Wonderful, fun students. Really experience a new culture.

The Tales of a Scotsman True.....in the DR!: October 2010
http://crmcgregor.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Thursday, October 21, 2010. So I was just in Moscow not too long ago and it was crazy.well kinda I guess? Anyways, Elista has two main options for getting to Moscow: (flying - there is one flight there and back every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday) or take a 24 hour bus ride. I opted for the former because I don't really care what country you're in, a 24 hour bus ride is not exactly exciting. Me and my captor. An empty Red Square for Putin's bday. I saw some of Gorky...
