Sosua Reports

[OldKool]

There is a german place next door to Bourbon Street. It has a big menu from german, Asain and Dominican. The food was very good and the price was right.

LOL. Posted as found. I don't spell check direct quotes from posters, eh?

Are you in the area? How about an update on some of the better restaurants around town? Scandinavia still the best one on the beach? I'm leery of checking them all out, but I'm getting tired of home made Dominican soup! Baileys and Terra Linda are not what they used to be, and Bologna is current my go to for consistent value and quality.

Anyone has recommendation for 'honest' real estate agent in Sosua area and an honest real estate lawyer although 'honest' and 'lawyer' in the same sentence would be an oxymoron.

Interested in investment / retirement property such as the ones across from Alicia Beach or farther down on the beach little far from the 'main drag' but still close to the action when need be.

Also any residents, expats have any input on the current state of real estate prices for oceanview condos / apartments. I am looking at point2 homes dot com. Feel free to PM and thanks for any pointers.

Thanks,

Frankfurt.

I am not too familiar with those on the beach but I have heard good things about the "Scandinavian" place, even after the Management change. I have not been back to Bologna, since the Italian owner sold off his stake. My go to place was the restaurant at the hotel New Garden, which is where Gogo found me when I was there last, early July. Too bad you were not there then. The Italian chef (and stake holder in the restaurant) told me he was going back to Italy, end of July and I am not going to recommend it for now even though I suspect it would not be too shabby. The "Germany (bar and grill? Restaurant on the road heading out to Cabarete is another good place for me. If you like fresh sausages and schnitzel and sauerkraut. They had a buffet, on Thursday evenings, if I recall right for a fixed price. I was hoping the French restaurant would survive but it did not, tant pis! If you know where Playa Punta Rucia is (closer to Santiago). I had eaten unbelievably well at a French hotel / restaurant there so I miss French cuisine. I am told the restaurant at Don Andres is good and that the Dutch owner was the ex owner of Orchidee, right before (or after, depending on which way you are heading) Terra Linda. I ate at Orchidee and thought food was good there. There should be a Czech restaurant on Ayuntamiento, close to Bologna. I know nothing of their cuisine but I was told it had buttery / white sauces, in case you are feeling like experimenting. As you would notice, I have not recommended a hamburger / steak place. Not my first choice, when there is real food around.

Good stories and good summary. BTW, is "outlaying" Canadian for outlying?

"Good" is a relative term.

Any one seen Luz Maria lately? She used to work at M & M, but is not there any more. I always liked her massage, no extras BTW.

Trying to plan my trip to Sosua. What are the names of some of the good outlaying bars? Is it better to stay nearer them or near the main drag?

"Good" is a relative term.

In this case, I'm wary of posting my own preferences for a couple reasons, one, YMMV depending on time of day, day of week and so on.

Two, I don't want to be flamed here, by posters who don't agree with my own preferences, and have trouble with the chicas, (nothing is guranteed) it takes time to assimilate into the local community.

Here's a true story:

A workplace acquaintance came down to visit me last March. He was staying at the AI CM. I took him out with me to my local bars and introduced him to some fine chicas.

He didn't want to pay the 2000-3000 freight, but a fat older local skank off the street came to feel him up at the bar, I told him she was trouble, but he was having a good time. She finally convinced him to go across the street to her room for 500 peso. He came back complaining the smelled so bad down there, he couldn't handle it and decided not to try anything else. Spent most of his remaining time back at the all inclusive.

When he got home, that's the story he told all our friends! Go figure!

I should have known better, because I posted here a few years back, about another guy who heard I was spending time in Sosua, so he came down for a look see. I made the mistake of telling him it was "safe". Problem was he couldn't handle his liquor, so during the week he had his wallet lifted, had trouble with street hoes, and cme back complaining to everybody that it was hell, with a "typhoid epidemic" and would never waste his money again.

A completely different Sosua from mine!

So, there are lots of girls and bars out there and my choice is not for everybody. If you are going down regularly, it's no big secret! Sosua is not a big place.

It's easy to find your own comfort level. You don't need directions.

Recommendations for hotels, MP's, Casas and clubs are a different matter and there is a lot of info to be gleaned and shared about those on these forums!

Stay near the center of town. All within walking distance.

You can take a moto taxi to the outlaying bars if needed.

August will be hotter than hell, but that shouldn't bother you if you have spent time in the Caribbean.

Don't waste too much time on the hit and miss and often disappointing social media sites, because everything you want, you can see up close and personal, in Sosua.

The hard core chicas stick to the main drag, but if you take Mr Gogo's advice, and hit some of the outlying bars, they have their own set of local chicas who wouldn't be caught dead on the main strip.

They are locals and semi pros, who go out to just party, dance and karioki after work. They buy their own beer! They look down on the hard core putas and sell their favors to the community of regular Sosua visitors, and ex pats, who know these bars well.

It's there you can find some real gems, with no drama, and no desperate hurry to score, and because they all know each other, it's easy to set up a threesome, if that's your bag!

.....some very religious countries have legalized prostitution. Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and the list goes on.

Religions need "sinners" in society. Without "sinners" there would be no "souls to save"!

[ShooBree]

Respectfully disagree. The US is backward and puritanical on a number of subjects, like homosexuality, abortion, etc. There are feminists in most developed countries of the world, in particular, Europe, but many have legalized prostitution. Traffickers, pimps, etc, exploit women. An independent prostitute is in charge of HER body. A difference. Feminists oppose a woman being turned into chattel for men. Sounds reasonable. Sounds like a modern form of slavery. Yes, Prohibition in the US was championed by women's groups. But that was also coupled with religious organizations, Bible thumpers, etc.

Feminists are pro choice, and want a woman to have control over her own body. No coincidence that one finds most opposition to issues like abortion, homosexual rights, etc, in the Bible Belt, and among religious groups (Catholics, Evangelicals). Most urban areas (and educated populations) are more open minded to those issues, to include discussing the legalization of sex workers.

Prostitution is legal in some countries in Europe despite the feminists.

Feminists are all pro-choice as long as they make the "right" choice, otherwise the woman is "crazy", "victim of the patriarchy" or a "bad" woman.

Feminists will never be in favour of prostitution, they don't give a rat's ass about the females that will not conform.

Feminism is a extremist sect which can not handle differing opinions nor individual freedom. I take the "Bible thumpers " over the feminists every second of the week.

Considering what you wrote it's funny that some very religious countries have legalized prostitution. Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and the list goes on.

Hello all,

Just an FYI. I received an email today regarding the 'divine nine' international greekfest occurring that weekend in Sosua at the Ahnvee. Google Atlanta greek picnic and you will know what to expect. It should be the older crowd but don't be too frightened when you hear random shouts or noises in public or at a bar.

The Reason why Prostitution is illegal in the USA is because of the rise of feminism. Feminist are all about control, and if men can buy sex like buying milk at a local walmart. The Vagina will lose its value and power it has over men. Think about how much money guys spend to impress girls, From Dates, Clothes and Cars. We spend alot of money trying to court the average attractive american female. If I can legally buy vagina at a brothel. Men would not put up with the bullshit. I can go deep but its all about power at the end of the day.

Men wield the power in the US. Do you think the feminists would get anywhere if the men did not allow them?

Men may rule the world, but women rule the men. Nature has given woman that great equalizer between her legs.

It is so powerful, that men will give up kingdoms, corporate industries like Hollywood, go to war, and get Impeached over it.

Or, like us mongers, spend a fortune and fly half way around the world for it.

A dirt poor chica would be stupid ideed, if she didn't use the power of that magic pussy to feed her kids, or improve her lifestyle!

Elite men in America are impotent and are into perversions such as pedophilia and blood lust to get their rocks off. Hypocrisy is indeed part of the deal as they try to portray themselves as holier than thou when in fact they are the most iniquitous humans on the planet. In reality they are perverts who are against normal sex.
