Mobile Web for Investors and Travelers to the Caribbean Check us on your smart-phone  Caribation goes mobile. This month we have launched a tiny web for smartphones:
Caribation mobile.
Certainly, the owners of mobile phones have the same right to check our beaches, houses and ocean view apartments as everyone else.
It is HTML5 and the framework behind the scenes is... you have guessed it right, jQuery mobile. It is a new technology, not perfect yet, but it promises the compatibility with all major brands: iPhone, Blackberry (from v. 6.0, 5.0 support coming soon) and the Andriod pack. Please contact us in case something would not work on your hand-held. Are you thinking of your own mobile web application? We provide support to our partners at discounted rates. Caribation developers will be happy to assist you to develop your site for the even smarter mobile web. |

Are we getting gaining up on physical beauty? Yes.
We are getting more beautiful... for generations to come
 On the Havana seashore bouleverd (Malecon) a very pretty Mulata accompanies a tourist who is shorter then she by head length. She has big eyes - his are quite small. She has gorgeous hair - he hardly has any hair. She has long legs - his are short. She has smooth skin - he just got sunburned. She has white teeth - he, too, but artificial ones.
Every day I see dozens of such images in all of Cuba. Sure, adult persons can make sure what they want with their bodies. And with their money. Preaching is out. Children are born from these relationships. In their genes they will carry the beauty of the mother, but this genetic material rarely stays in Cuba. The babies follow the path of money along with the mother: most emigrate to Europe. The beauty comes to us, the laws of genetics work in our favour. In the second, third or fourth generation the Germans, Italians and Spaniards will proudly display white teeth, big eyes, gorgeous hair and long legs. We are doomed to be beautiful! |

Dom Rep: property sale, title registration and real estate ownership.
Buying a house in the Dominican Republic?
The opportunities are great, but better do it right. You are lucky to have chosen the Dominican Republic as a country for your investment. The country has established the Torrens system of land registration which gives the buyer quite modern and effective legal protection. The Real Estate Registry Law (No. 108-05) has completed the modernization of the property law in 2007. Today, I'll write about an important instrument in the process of the transfer of the ownership of a real estate: Certification with Fixed Date (Certificación con Reserva de Prioridad in Spanish) Why is it important? Well you, the buyer, have so far checked the ownership title of the seller, have agreed with him on the price and other conditions and are ready to sign the contract before a notary and to pay the price. Stop here. Is not enough to check the ownership title! How do you know, that your dream house on the beach has not been sold yesterday and you aren't talking to the previous (fraudulent) owner? How do you know the house has not been mortgaged by a bank or other creditors after the title has been issued? The only secure way to know is to obtain the Certificate with Fixed Date (Certificación con Reserva de Prioridad) from the Registry of Titles, with the legal base in Art. 105 of the Law 108-05 of 2007. The certificate costs RD$ 5000 (as per April 2011) but is a prudent investment to have one. How does it work? The current owner will apply for the Certificate at the Registry of Titles and give it to you. If there is a problem or there is another transaction pending (suppose he fraudulently sold the house to another buyer a day earlier) he won't get the certificate. But the denial will always indicate the reasons. And if he gets the Certificate (green light for the buyer) the Registrar makes an annotation in the books thus "frozing" the title for up to 15 days, giving the buyer the security that, plainly speaking, he gets what he pays for. No one else can register any rights on the title in the "frozen" period. If you then bring your new notary contract within those 15 days you can be certain that no other rights which might have been claimed after the date (and the hour and minute) of the Certificate with Fixed Date (Certificación con Reserva de Prioridad) will burden the property. |

Carnival 2011 in Santo Domingo,
Carnival in Santo Domingo, 2011
 Same glamour as every year, or perhaps better: the Carnival 2011
in Santo Domingo was rich in music, costumes, folk and Caribbean dances, and, last but not least, in beautiful dominican women.
If you travel to Dom Rep next year try to come about 15:30 to get the best spot around the corner of Avenida George Washington
(malecon, or sea boulevard) and Pasteur.
Of course you must know what a carroza means... a colorfully decorated truck, with a band on the top.
Have a look at the videos:
