How safe is the dominican Republic
How safe is the dominican republic? And are the girls typically light skinned blacks or are they closer to the haitian variety?

I used to work there in 03 - 05. It really depends where you go that will dictate your experience. If you stay in the tourist areas, that is very cleaned up, that's another world compared to the way people really live. If you want to spend time with the locals, there are some parts you will need some protection to get through. There are some places I never went without being armed or having someone I trusted being armed.
Although they like foreigners, there is still a large percentage of the population that sees you as nothing more than a meal ticket. Not unusual off the beaten path to see a drunk German getting their ass kicked, just because they are foreign.
Outside the tourist areas when they don't have to be nice. If you spend enough time with them you will learn what they think of people. In generally I got this impression:
Canadians are perverts who like to have sex with animals and the women are *****s.
American men are weak and the women are *****s.
Europeans are weak yet very arrogant and the women are *****s.
Some of the stories they told me were quite funny, they said Canadians used to come around wanting to rent a goat for an afternoon for sex. That's how they got that rep. The ***** part, it's really not that uncommon to find foreign women looking for a boy toy down there. And the women often get drunk and at like sluts at the resorts so, the reputation of them being sluts is earn.
If you are American, you will have to prove you are no push over, otherwise they never will fully respect you as a man.

3 day weekend in Santo Domingo
I went in June, used some American Airlines miles, and stayed at the "Hostel Riazor" across from the rear of the Jaragua Hotel. Cost was about $45. The first night they tried to charge my $55 by telling me all they had available was a delux suite with balcony. I had no choice but to accept that for the first night.
I went to Lapsus both nights and pulled out a stunner each night, one 18 with no kids, the other 22 with one kid, but they were both duds with attitude back in the room. I paid the club 2,500 pesos for a 2 hour salida, but was disappointed on the service each time. Problems included cell phone talk while you are undresssing them, wanted to run out after the first pop, my baby has a fever, etc. I always hear the same shit from the Dominican girls, since my first visit in 1995. I told the girl with the kid to shut up and go to sleep until 2 am. She knew I spoke spanish and had heard "the kid has a fever" bullshit before. This is typical for the Dominican girls, they are alot like New York girls, very street wise to steal from you.
The last night I stayed at the new Marriot, normal cost was about $150 for a corner room with ocean view from both sides, but with my govt. ID they gave it to me for $80 or so. Watch out, alot of these chains add on a 15% surcharge for service, without telling you up front. Then they also add on a few dollars to help the "poor children". When I protested they removed the dollars to help poor children charge, but not the service surcharge. The clerk said it was a "tax" required on the island. bullshit.
I also ate at Manolos, back side of Jaragua. Good, solid food. I went into Tony ....... Rib House? by the Marriot, an American chain. I was not hungry and asked about ordering half an order of ribs at half the price. They brought it out and I asked the price and turned out they tried to charge me for a full plate of ribs. I was so fed up with this Domican rip off of gringos I just walked out and left the Ribs on the table, untouched. I told the manager exactly the problem and walked out.
My last day, Sunday, I went to Casa Modelo and looked around, about noon, but the girls were still sleeping. 2,500 pesos was the standard 2 hour fuck charge there also. No negotiation allowed. Only one girl came down the stairs, so I left.
I went a nightclub bar about 4 blocks from hotel Riazor on "Paloso?" street, the one with the name spelled wrong, and tried to negotiate from 2500 pesos. One girl was well endowed, was first willing to salida for 2000 pesos, but when I told her up front she had to turn off her cell phone and give me a BBBJ she changed her mind. She would have been a runner anyway. So the last night I just relaxed.
