DR LAWYER speaks the truth
The key point here is respect. Respect the culture, your foreign environment and you will reap rewards. When I started mongering, I was fortunate to meet some cool guys who basically taught me the basics, then I discovered ISG. There are members on this board (Jao) and other forums who will bend over backwards to help and provide information to newbies. Sosua, (never been) from what I've heard and read, is a very small mongering oasis in DR, where there are no secrets. So yes, unlike a big city like Rio word travels very fast. Again never been to Sosua but we all know what happened to HELP.
I might get flamed for the next point but I am not hearing anyone / old school mongers trying to reach out to these newbies. Why not simply introduce yourself buy him a presidente and explain to him the benefit of respecting the girls and being discreet? If rebuffed, come here and flame away but there are some who will take your advice and pass it along, then voila! Everyone wins! Just my two pesos gents
Happy mongering.
Have anyone seen the prices to SDQ lately? Geez! Taxes and fees are 20-30 percent of the costs.
Key lessons learned early in my mongering travels
Be discreet and don't attract attention (no flashy clothes/jewelry)
Learn the language and the culture
Tip the locals and treat people well (doormen/security guys and little kids)
Treat the women with respect unless they act like hoodrats
Disco Clasico is closed! Sosúa is dead! And all the other bullshit.
This is live from the front-line within the last hour from a newbie in Sosúa (1. 30 am Thursday morning) :
"At classicos now with XXXX and the bunch. God, Sosúa sucks, only 30 girls to each guy. Dear God, I'm glad it's cleaned up, if this is what you call 'cleaned up', because I'd be dead of a heart attack if it was any better".
Only one guy's view (and to be honest he is prone to exaggerate) but it illustrates the point I have been making about not discouraging newbies from coming. How far Sosúa has fallen from real or imagined better times is irrelevant for them. This guy has been having a ball all week and is already planning his next trip. He couldn't care less about when High Caribe was open or when chicas were 500 for TLN, etc, etc.
Would be great on a tombstone.
[QUOTE=Mr Gogo;1173805]That's good to know. Headed down soon with three ex Brazil guy's I met in CR, with a BBL guest appearance. Summertime party. The Miami, ex Brazil guy's are rough, strickly sport fucker's. Nothing like watching a newbie get loose.[/QUOTE]I like that term sport fuckers. I have been guilty of that charge at times.
Questions, questions. On Sosua hotels this time!
I have been enjoying the animated discussion: it is quite interesting to note that the "circumscribed" world of this forum is as much part of the bigger world reflecting all that passes in the outside world. It is very nice to see most people here are truly sensible. They can ignore an occasional transgression and are kind and accepting of others. I remember going to Asia a decade ago and have a steely blue-eyed older Northern German as my companion (but better, Guru) in Jakarta and Bangkok and hearing about tree-lined streets in Bangkok in the seventies. When he started visiting, if you can imagine that. Which I am sorry I missed out on. I guess change is inevitable. I personally lament the crassness I see in the media that then becomes fashionable which the older viewers will lament. The newer ones will not know that the lament is all about and life will go on.
On a practical note: I am trying to fix a hotel in Sosua. Here is the present bunch offer per night after I wrote to them. Please comment based on your experience of the place / s, the value proposition including the NOISE factor.
Casa valeria $45
Terra Linda $60
Don Antonio $40
Perla de sosua $30
My understanding is that all are Ch-friendly but please rectify just in case.
Thanks always,
