Posts: 15942Something to Consider
For the people who are living in DR, how are you affected by the brown outs? Does it happen in the neighborhoods where you guys are living? Everytime I am at a chica's house the lights go off during the day time. Sometimes the water is off as well. This bit of infrastructure is something to consider for those thinking of moving here.

Posts: 15942Last night I noticed more chicks than before are wearing braces on their teeth. Many of them only had them on the top row and many were missing the long piece of metal that goes across. I asked one what happened to hers and she said she was eating chicken and they broke. Surely the girls are not the ones paying for braces or they would take better care of them. Either that or they make some cheap (quality-wise) ass braces in DR.

Posts: 15942Every week in the paper in Thailand you read about a Russian who had his or her gold chain snatched. Sometimes you even read about a Thai chick getting hers snatched. I have never had one snatched because I am not fool enough to wear one in places that I know attract the dregs of society.
Some years back an Italian guy was in Rio to attend his son's wedding to a Brasileira. The guy and one of his other sons were walking in Ipanema which is one of the better neighborhoods of Rio and frequented by tourists. The father had on a nice gold chain. At the time there was a robbing crew called the Bicycle Gang. A youngster rode by on a bicycle and snatched the father's chain and rode across the street. The son gave chase. As soon as he stepped into the street he was hit by a bus and died. I'm sure the father never thought that attending one son's wedding would mean another son's funeral. If you do decide to carry whatever item and you get got, just chalk it up as a loss.

Posts: 443I am neither rich nor poor. But I live in a city where few people need to sell their bodies in order to make money to eat and take care of their families. The fact that the number of chicas is up tells me that it is very difficult to make a living in the DR. The things we take for granted (iPhones, iPads, fancy watches, and expensive clothes) are much more difficult for the average Dominican to get.
The waitress at the place I have breakfast at in Sosua sat down with me when she saw my iphone 5s and we started calculating. She said she would have to work 4 months without buying so much as a piece if chewing gum it be able to buy the 5s.
Years back, I was married to a Dominican and every time we visited her family in Santiago her brother would beg and plead endlessly for me to leave him my sneakers, my jeans, my watch, my underwear, everything. My wife (at the time) asked me to leave as much as I could to him because it was easy for me to get the stuff back home, but it was difficult to impossible for him to get them in the DR. So I always returned home with an empty suitcase.
These two people are people I trust won't steal from me. I grew up among Dominicans and I know they are really hard working, friendly, and trustworthy. I also know that there are some that can be lying, manipulating, crafty, and creative thieves. But you can run into these kind of people anywhere in the world.
Whenever I am in a place with a high rate of poverty and crime (usually where pussy is for sale at reasonable prices) , I try to keep a low profile. I don't rub my wealth in anybody's face. I let the guys with the iPads and iPhones and Rolex watches become the targets.
I have travelled the world and have never been robbed. The girls don't care if I wear a tuxedo or shorts. They don't care if I have an iphone or two cans and some string. They don't care when I don't spring for the motoconcho and make them walk three blocks in high heels through potholes, mud, or donkey shit. They don't care if I take them to the Hilton, or if I fuck them in an alley. All they care about is getting paid. All I care about is fucking girls.
My advice is sound and it works well for me. I don't suffer, I dress casual, and I don't feel any inconvenience when I travel. I advise people who are new to ANY area to leave the luxury gadgets (yes an iphone is a luxury gadget as 10 years ago there were no iPads or iPhones yet business still took place) at home or locked in the hotel safe until they are comfortable with the area and can take a few more liberties. Any other advise would be reckless.

Posts: 1908Back to the Front
On a brighter note I'm headed back down to Sosua next week.
My last trip was to re-connect and take care of some social obligations.
This time I hope to be free as a bird.
For the first time I'm treating myself to a week at the Terra Linda, so we'll see how that works out.
It'll be the week before Easter, and the flights are good value right now.
The chica who was calling and texting non stop since I got back has now got the message. She wanted to meet me at the airport. It was only a question of time before she complained she had no dinero fro credita. I assume she meant to top up her phone card. No way Jose!
Sure I'll see her down there, because she's good in the sack, and anyway that's what they all do.
Unless anything unusual happens down there I don't intend to bore you with a blow by blow account.
Phuker said it all for me in his last Report.

Posts: 15942Y'all won't be happy until this thread goes the way that the Colombia thread went a few years back; meaning Jackson will fully moderate it and all posts will be on delay.

It is fairly rare to run into problems getting change in the US, but it is more common in the DR. In the US these days most people can make relatively small purchases using a debit card in almost any business, especially if it is a corporate chain or franchise, which is nearly everything in a state like Florida. In the DR cash payments are more common.

This page has several photos of a mission in Maranatha, near Charamicos, and some of the pictures appear to be typical homes with iron bars.

A man had come in to sign custody papers for his child, accompanied by his lawyer. He was wearing below-the-knee jeans type shorts. He was allowed in the reception area, but not allowed to enter the judge's office to swear and sign. So his attorney went out the back door and took off his black suit pants and gave them to the client to wear so he could sign the documents while the attorney hovered at the back door clad in black jacket, white shirt, tie, boxer shorts, socks, and shoes. Fortunately he had decent legs. After the signing was over he got his pants back and gave his client a ride in his car to the parada.
No wonder lawyers are expensive.I just arrived at my girl's house where she is cooking it up for your boy.

But if you wanted to live in N. A. Style, with all the conveniences we take for granted, then yeah, it would be a problem.
