There was no problems in Boca Chica over the "strike" period. I have not seen one yet to carry over into BC. Everything is back to normal here.
Why would there be strife in Boca Chica? they are one of the places with ready access to tourist dollars and since everything is priced in dollars, devaluations don't affect them. In fact, they make off like bandits.
In places like Boca, among those with avenues to idiot tourist dollar access there would be celebrations, not protests.
Just my two cents,
First, Everything here in BC is NOT priced in dollars. Yes, for sight seeing trips, taxi rides, etc., there sometimes is a dollar price. Goto all the supermarkets, most restaurants, bars, etc., you get the price in pesos.
Secondly, I guess why it was asked if the strike had any effect on BC is because we are only 30 minutes away from SD. Many times I have been present in countries where strikes do carry over into local areas, ie. BC. Not unreasonable to ask, in my opinion.
Thirdly, most of Boca Chica habitants, excluding the tourists, foreigners, etc., live on pesos. They either work in the capital or don't work at all. Yes, there are the *****s who make a deal for dollars because some tourist had not a chance to change any money before, but thats not the common.
Lastly, the peso has devalued, without a doubt, from about 28 in Octoboer of 2003 to about 54 today, but the prices for everything has followed suit. Gas was 66, now 99. I think you get the idea. For me, I am still doing financially well. The "Boca Chica" dominican I cannot say the same for.
Catire: I'll have to agree with pgapro. You seem to have gotten it all wrong again! Many tourists are not idiots; and since when is everything priced in $ in the BC?! BTW, I want to congratulate you! You're the 1st guy that has ridiculed me for being a Charity Benefactor, and for having a lot of posts! You're also the 1st guy on WSG who has ever stated that I don't know what I'm talking about. I guess the thousands of members that have viewed my posts all felt exactly like you but were afraid to post their opinions?! I don't thinks so! May I give you a simple suggestion?! Hit the search button on this post, and do some reading. You will be amazed at how educated you may become. The main difference between you and me is not about quantity of posts it's about quality. I like to be informative, share my mongering knowledge and experiences, and occasionally ask questions; whereas you like to criticize fellow board members and share nothing but your lack of knowledge and innate hostilities!
JDR,
For the April fest, is the Palace sold out? And, how many quality chicas are expected? What is the itinerary of that weekend? What's the name and calle of the massage spot that you always talk of much to my jealousy?
Wu-warrior
pgapro, you are correct, I was over-reaching.
Perhaps it would better be said that many in Boca and the environs have better access to the tourist economy and tourist dollars that say an average Dominican living in a Dingo barrio might not have?
(which is essentially what I was saying, by stating the Boca would be the last of the places to riot)
Though let's make an important distinction, shall we?
Many Dominican residents of Boca Chica do not live in Boca Chica. They live in the town of Andres on the other side of the highway.
Of course, the local prices in the store, etc are all in pesos. And of course, those prices are rising (many are) to keep up with the devaluation, especially for imported products.
I guess what I meant to say is that at least some of Boca's residents are luckier than other Dominicans. THough, even with that, for example, the hotel owners whose prices are dollarized no matter the exchange rate, the large majority of those owners are foreigners.
DItto with many of the restaurant owners around the village.
Gpiper, you are obviously looking for a pat on the back for your charity and overwhelming knowledge as well as biting insight.
You are truly a legend in your own mind.
Now let's see, a quick search perusal indicates your most recent posts seem to focus on "comparing" the stable of all inclusive pimped gringo hos at the Sosua Palace.
Like I said, come back to me when you get a clue. Stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours and this way you can amuse yourself and others with what you think you know. Of course, I can also stay thoroughly amused, although for different reasons.
Pajuo.
forgive me if I keep my hand by my side.

Pgapro,
You have mentioned "Andres" in a few posts, and I have heard San Pedro from a few of mi amigas in Boca Chica. Where are these neighborhoods in relation to BC? I think San Pedro is about a half hour by gua gua, maybe east (?) but I am not sure. This is just for my curiosity about this coast. And that mi amigas keep trying to get me to go back with them.
I arrive in BC in 5 days. Let the games begin.
RearWindow,
1) You said you pay max. 1.000.- for all night. How much did you pay for 2-3 hours and for 1 hour?
2) What is Isla Bonita? A Bar in BC?
Have Fun

I have paid 500 - 600 for one hour , but I haven't tried the 2-3 hour quote yet. I'll certainly report back if it works out.
Isla Bonita is a bar in BC behind Plaza Isla Bonita, the art gallery shoppe on the beach side of Calle Duarte. The waitresses wear sailor outfits (swear to god!), hats and all, and are very petite and generally pretty. Had a few questions about the place, but have had those answered now.
I have been nervously watching the RD strengthen now rather quickly , and it looks like $60 is a pipe dream. In fact I'm getting worried that it will dip below $40 when I get there. Never thought I would have so much interest in daily exchange rates, or the NOAA Hurricane Center.
Bear with me here.
My first trip to BC, I was left high and dry by a certain resort, that claimed "blah blah blah.". Thought I was totally screwed.
So I had to improvise. Grabbed a cab ( actually they grabbed me) from SDQ. Got to a hotel. Grumbled to myself at the bar, and realized that grande beers were about $1.40 us, if that. Things were looking up. In fact , looking up, I see two lovelies at the casino machines.
So I sidle over and turn on my 10 watt charm. I ask one lady how do you play this, and proceed to throw money away. After about an hour of this , I ask one of my "friends" about...ahhhhh...fun? She grabs me and off we go to my room..Overpaid for sure,and you don't want to know... But she stayed all nite, as she said she would , (no gotta get back to the kids) ,and f****d my eyes out both that night and in the morning.
This rambling post is meant to say that there are no rules about price when mongering. If a woman is caro, but you think you have to have her, then DO IT. Don't live with the regrets of " if only I had done(insert name here)". . I'm not talking about stupid expensive, but these girls vanish in a blink of an eye.
I will probably come to BC on 2 March. Plan on staying in Hotel Rimini (cheap and girl friendly). I want to stay for about 2 weeks. Is anyone planning on being there around that time? I know what beauty on the beach gives the best massages. Her name is Naomi.

Rearwindow,
I think the San Pedro you are referring to is San Pedro de Macoris, if it is, it is about 30 minutes by bus to the east, before La Romana. Andres is a town just before Boca Chica, about 2 minutes to the west, if you are coming from the airport or the capital you go right through it. Alot of the people of Andres migrate back and forth from BC for work or living. I lived there the past 2 years. Not a bad place to check out if you know some spanish and don't need to have your hand held to cross the street. If you are looking for the "non-pro" here in BC, thats your best bet in finding one. Not a lot of tourists stays, just some tourists passing through usually. The peso is now trading at about 40-42 to the dollar, it won't go much lower than that, and I think in a week it will be back where it was. I still don't see alot of dollars flowing into this country like i did in years past, via the tourism.
