Sosua Reports

[MadisonGuy]

I had a chick last visit, she started the day off with a rain coat and by the end of the night it was off for the BJ. YMMV I think is pretty common around the world, and a chick that likes you more you will always get more back from.

Also I drove all over DR last trip, not a problem. I would never be scared to drive there again. I had some chick tried to take me to the cops for not paying years ago, I walked all the way to the police station with her and the street cop until within 100 yards she gave up and I went my own way. I still have a full beer in my hand so I was just enjoying the show. I outlasted her. Also I didn't pay because she didn't follow through with our agreement, not just to be a cheap bastard.

That's not surprising. If a Chica did not ask me for a condom and wanted penetration is what would alarm me.

Yes, if a chica offered sexo sin condom you'd be wise to avoid her. But since my first trip in 2011 BBBJ was a given in sosua. Now Chicas are making covered bjs the norm, unless you know her or she really likes you.

Also almost every girl ask for condom. Did not try arguing. I always cover up.

"Just the facts, ma'am. " Solid info, no pontificating.

Incidentally, Jack Webb never actually said those words anymore than Bogey said "Play it again, Sam".

And no digressing into Hollywood Movie lore!

I was paying 1500 during early evening until 9 pm for short time. 2000 for short time later and Club 59/ Classico.

Hours for Club 59/ Classico are 10 pm to midnight Sunday to Thursday. 10 pm to 3 am on Friday and Saturday. Also the bars follow the same hours as to closing hours. Some girls for Club 59 will hang out in the bar below at 10 pm. Plus you can see if people are going upstairs. Some days you do not see anybody go upstairs until 10:30.

Spent the first week of Oct in the sue! Had a good time overall. Ran into a newbie from Santo Domingo and did her three days in a row, plus a regular or two. Lots of bartenders flirting. Might have to put one on the team eventually. Chica selection was down in my opinion, but definitely adequate. Prices are up with 2500 pretty much the norm. Lots of chica trying for condom BJ if they don't know you, I hate that. All in all still a great destination and affordable. We'll see what changes come next! Peace!

Haven't been in the DR for 8 years. Can't believe how things appear to have changed. Used to be bare back or condom; now its drive or not to drive. After reading all this "news" about driving I would only take taxis--intercity taxis were a good deal and I assume still are!

Bottom line: the cops have really fucked up the fun.

One of our last trips a budy had an accident with a Hatian moto taxi, didn't pay a cop, 4,000 pasos later he was out of JAIL.

All these posts paint a black picture.

In a dirt poor country, a tourist (all considered rich) should be aware of his attitude, blend in, and don't rock the boat.

No sense in trying to fight the system.

In 10 years, I personally never had a problem with cops, in fact I get a wave from Cestur, who do a good job protecting well behaved tourists. A town where they appreciate the tourist money!

I'm comfortable enough to drive down here, but (especially for this old guy) I personally find it expensive and inconvenient when there are so many other options. So I avoid the reported confrontations with cops.

Compared to home, it's a laid back existence. No hate, no terrorism, no civil unrest, no drive by shootings, low crime, except for the petty stuff.

Highly recommended!

(YMMV).

Does anyone know of any gringo who was arrested for trying to bribe a cop in the DR?

I would imagine it would depend on the severity of the crime he was alleged to have committed, but no.

For minor traffic stops and "he said, she said" stuff, a propina (they don't call it a bribe) is always welcome, it's part of the culture, and not strictly policed, from their point of view.

Twice, over the years, I was asked by a customs agent, if I had brought him a regalo, as he looked at my passport. Anywhere else in a normal country a complaint like that, would have his ass hauled off the job!

Finally came the day of the big wedding. Mr. England, not knowing Spanish, signed on the witness line while the "cousin" signed on the groom line. It was his turn to be left high and dry.

Catastrophic. Buyer beware. I just don't have the confidence to confront cops from anywhere including USA, tho. I try to ignore Dominican policia and say no hablo espanol.

[Turgid]

........Just about all the ex pats I know down here drive. Especially the ones that have businesses here. They treat the local cops like parking ticket meter maids and they all know each other. A little propina is expected and exchanged and all is well! They might even look after your ass, down the road. It's just a game........................

I do not fuc with people with guns or badges. I have never been stopped by police in 8 years for anything. Catch one of these guys on a bad day and you can be in a world of hurt. Some of these guys make up their own rules. Combine this with their drinking things can go south. My friend left 20 dollars light and half an hour of his time. While you are a legend in your own mind I would not walk your path pimp daddy. Fighting with police is a losing battle.

And how is it fucking with someone by not speaking a language that you don't speak and not paying for a crime that you did not commit? But I understand that some have no problem rolling over and being ripped off by the police, girls, or whoever else comes a knocking.

Speaking of a language that you do not speak, a buddy that used to live in Sosua told me a story of a guy from England that came down. He met this chick and was very happy with her. So happy that he left his wife and kids back home high and dry and moved to DR.

He planned on marrying the chick that he had met. For some reason he could not get a bank account on his own, so he had to get one with her. He deposited all his money into it. This guy had it made. They bought a nice house together. The girl's cousin drove him everywhere he needed to go.

If you own or rent a car here the best 50 bucks you could ever spend is on a dash cam, it will save your ass in an accident and when you get pulled over for a money grab just wait until the cop approaches the window and then point the dash cam in his direction, it is important that he sees you moving the cam in his direction, he will beat feet immediately every time.

Also, NEVER ever speak even a single word of spanish to a cop that has pulled you over for no reason, not even a "hola". Between the dash cam and not speaking spanish you will be on your way in no time.
