You are translating word for word. Many phrases in Spanish don't follow that format.

You can also use Follamigos (literally fuck-friends).

This can't be true, which countries are doing this?

Trinidad and Tobago has also banned its citizens from returning home.

Colombia is now banning citizens too besides foreigners.

Why not Amigos con beneficios? I've been using this. Am I saying it wrong.

How do you say "Friends with benefits" in Spanish. I think it is "Ficante or Amante" in Portuguese, but how can I say it in Spanish?

That would be harsh. I doubt it will happen because unlike many Dominicans, the foreigners will still have money to spend. If they can't let flights in its going to get ugly fast. The retirees will be holding the north coast up!

The problem for non citizens is getting back into their own country, not forced eviction.

Airline dislocation, entry and quarantine restrictions can make it difficult, and costly, for casual visitors to get home.

But for residents here, the weather's good most days and the store shelves are full of fresh food, beer and liquor. Folks here know how to take care of themselves and their families, without much government help.

Not a bad place at all to ride out this storm. Better than most from what I'm hearing back home.

When the travel bans were put in place and airlines reduced or stopped their flights, that essentially stopped foreigners from coming in anyway. What you don't want to see, is foreigners already living there or staying in place being forced to leave. That would be some very harsh news.

Was discussing that in the Philippines thread the other day when a guy insisted he is going to buy a condo there. No way I would buy something overseas. I can leave these clothes, TV, and motorbike in my rented place in Thailand at the drop of a hat and say what a good run I had. But if I done bought some big ticket stuff like a condo and was forced to leave, my heart would be hurting like a mf.

Starting March 22 you cannot get into Philippines unless you are married to Filipina. Shut down for all tourists. Same rules as Sosua. Bars and discos closed. Take out only at restaurants. Markets and banks open. My buddy said there are only a few girls walking around. Place is dead. Since the restrictions were put into effect 10 days ago. We shall see what happens in a few week. I was going to fly to the Philippines next Tuesday. I still have ticket for April 21.

Philippines calls it enhanced quarantine. Its martial law. Must stay in. Road blocks in Manila and other cities.

Hoping March 29 is a good day when the mayor race is certified.

I'm sure enough of you are aware that President Medina in the DR imposed a 8 pm to 6 am curfew for the entire country. Only essential personnel, people out seeking medical care etc are allowed to be out during curfew. This is supposed to last until April 3rd.
