Tempoecorto. Where were you flying to and was the 850 for a a round trip ticket?
These airlines are really taking advantage. I'm looking to fly in September with United which IMHO is the worst airline out there.

Posts: 2116Flying back via POP
I had forgotten writing about this: I paid Jetblue some $850 for my air ticket. Those sobs still do not want me to bring in cabin luggage asking me to pay another $50+ for that privilege while I hate waiting for luggage plus I travel light. In any case, I have a card that allows me to check in my cabin bag at no charge which is what I was planning to do. So when I got to the airport, there were hardly anyone around as the flight was 3 hours late. While checking in, I gave the guy a pack of chocolates I carry. They were chocolate truffles and I asked the guy to share it with his counter mates. They were very pleased to do that. When it came time to check in my bag, I asked the guy if he would allow me to carry it on board. Guess what? After some checking, he said he would and even got the guy who would be at the gate, to speak with me, who would allow me to board before others.
So all this was nice and dandy but then I went with my bag to the security and the guys flagged me as I was carrying a bottle of chinola concentrate plus a bottle of water in those hot fng days. I started telling them the uniqueness of chinola and that in my home town I can't find it and that these are delicious. So a guy told me that he has relatives in NY where you can find all sorts of stuff like that and I said, but I am from Boston. After a great conversation with 4 security guys, I went in with chinola concentrate in my cabin luggage. Long live POP!

It's only off topic if your little adventure didn't result in you getting laid at some point.
I posted a similar story a few years back. Invite to family campo up in the Sosua hills, old truck part way, then an endless trek up the hills with everybody carrying stuff that couldn't be loaded on to the burro. I asked why they had to take everything with them on the weekend, and they told me if they left anything of value around the place it would be gone.
Hotter than hell, and I had to sit down I thought I was having a heart attack. The old ladies took the stuff I was carrying and carried on, embarrassing in macho land. One of the 3 times in DR that I was sure I was going to die. LOL.
After a rest with my chica, caught up with them and made it to the campo. Big party with lots of food, and 2 young guys firing their Glocks up in the air for fireworks. Another hike to the stream to cool off. No place to sleep so headed back before nightfall with 2 loads of fresh milk, which was distributed to the local ladies in the villages on the way back. They all came out with their jugs. A regular milk run.
I'm still bonded to that Charomicos family, and understanding their culture, has gotten me laid, more than a few times.

Now Coolie owns the place! LOL.
I even recognize those tetas!
I used to get a big fuss made when I stopped by my local bar. Now the Mamasan cook asks me where's Coolie? Tell him I'm cooking his favorite special BBQ.
It's downright humbling when he's in town.
Looks like we got the New King of Sosua, Subby!

Posts: 2116A bunch of days in Sosua
I don't say this often but, Boy, am I glad to be back to where I belong. The temp in Sosua was easily around 95-100 degrees, especially around midday until sundown. The humidity was high too and so, one of my campo adventures became more that what I bargained for, going uphill and carrying food (a four lb chicken, rice, oil) plus a whole bunch of water bottles. The river bed was a trickle but the pebbles were hard to negotiate, not trying to get my sneaker wet and was that stupid? I (along with the girl who took me there to her family's place up there) wanted to visit the mountain cascades that comes down and creates puddles where you can (and many locals do) go and bathe. It certainly looked idyllic but getting there was something that I did not think would be that complicated. No wonder, the locals use horse, which to me, is an anathema. I am not going to ride on an animal doing trails where one side, there is a steep fall. To call a long story short, I did manage to do all that but I was completely depleted for a few days.
I also grew respect for people who live there in the campo. This family has a dozen cows, that need to be milked every morning, ouch! Then there is the matter of transporting the milk to someplace. I thought these people, despite not having much, had a life which was perhaps a healthier one. Imagine when someone falls sick at night or when in rainy season, the river cuts them off. You need a philosophical attitude towards life to bear it.
The other interesting thing was this: coming out of restaurants, in Sosua, I often have a doggy bag. One evening a moto concho guy asked me for it. I really felt bad as it had nothing but half a focaccia. To my surprise, he knew what a focaccia was and was pleased to have it. Since then all my doggy bags, always went to the motoconcho guys. Good food too!
Sorry, this account of my stay in Sosua has nothing to do with what the purpose of this forum supposedly is.

Posts: 465Trying to get those Mr. E Prices in Sosua during the year of inflation
Being down here for long stretches you start to turn into a cheap charlie because other then electronics, everything else you can always find good deals. The search for a gringo to get the Dominican price is on and to get there you first have to change your mindset. Mr. E is right you're not in the US so stop thinking in US prices. And 2nd its all about who you know. Alot of the OG Mongers been planting that seed for me to follow their advice for years and now I'm putting it to good use. Now I walk past the barber that use to charge me a 1000 pesos (almost 20 dollars) and got turn on to another spot where the barber charges me 400 pesos. My corner chicken spot that me and grownman went to last year has lost their damn mind on the cost of buying a whole chicken. Last year the cost was 300 pesos. Now they charging 600 pesos. Damn near 12 us dollars for chicken being sold on the street.
Ooh and it gets worse. Theres small chicken spot close beside Jolly Roger restaurant on Pedro Clisante. Dude tells me as I walk by the spot at night that a whole chicken cost 800 pesos. FUCK out of HERE!! Thats ridiculous. So I went to playero supermarket thinking that they be more expensive but there chicken is only 400 pesos. So guess whose getting my business now. And lets not start on the cost of beer. One presidente cost 107 pesos in the supermarket. Meanwhile brohima is 82 pesos. So yeah I'll be switching up my beer as well.
So we now turn to the price for what we deal with most when we're down here. The ladies. The longer the stay a monger price should be going down not up. In Cabarete I started at 3500 a piece for toda la noche 3 some (well technically a 4 some as mygirl from the states joined in on the fun but that's another tale) and now a few nights ago I got the price down to 2500 a piece (5000 total). Fun Times.

Sosua will always remain a special place to visit for me. And it has nothing to do with chicas. And I have covered those points in other posts so I will not repeat them in this one.

A couple of quotes from your last posts.
"What I often read from people who live up there is more like teasing information. You know like an infomercial (but wait there is more)."
"In one post I read action has moved online. In another post I read that GFE is available in the "uptown" bars in right places."
Visiting and living in Sosua for 13 years, I personally every day interact with a cross section of the population here. We share our experiences every day. It's part of the social life here, always a new twist.
From old hookers I used to fuck, now turned hard core, new to the game chicas, semi pros (meaning chicas that have day jobs), newbie mongers, ex pats, frequent visitors, and my bi regular and her circle of friends, and their families.
What I "read" on this forum is always interesting, but in my experience, not always descriptive of the day to day scene here.
Now that may be because some of our prolific megaposters to the Sosua Forum are rarely here. And their reports contain a lot of hearsay. And there are inconsistencies in the posts. Once the shithole puta pueblo was dead, now it seems to be place they actually recommend.
I actually enjoyed reading your actual boots on the ground Sosua trip report. It was spot on, for a casual visitor.
I welcome that change. Sosua is what it is, and it can be heaven or hell, depending on one's personal experience.
But how to handle the chicas here, is always on topic, for newbies, ex pats and vets alike.
And it usually comes down to the big cultural chasm, like how most putas here think only of today, no CBA, while some of us like to play a longer game. Not everybody here is a weekend warrior.
A lot of ex pats I talk to, still find it odd that a regular repeat chica, can turn on a dime, and they share that info. But they are happy to be here, playing the game! There's always the next one!
(As usual, IMHO, and YMMV).

All this talk about how to handle chicas that you are paying for sex has me on the ground laughing. You mean there are guys that don't understand that because they are paying the girls cannot demand anything more than that. Chica handling skills should be reserved for chicas that you have real relationship with. Business relationships are easy. I don't know what kind of guys people hang out with that are constantly relating that they are having problems with chicas.
One of the things I have noticed is that I have met good people from Canada throughout my travels throughout the world. Most are cool as fuck. But there are always that one exception. When it comes to information on Sosua. What I often read from people who live up there is more like teasing information. You know like an infomercial (but wait there is more). Statements about what is possible without sharing any real useful information. Just check out the response to one of my posts by one of our Sousa experts.

I am just suggesting to fellow mongers one of the ways to get girls without. It is not a dating game. Do not need to be subtle.
