Sosua Reports

[Frannie]

Some people say Sosua is unsafe, but I have felt more safe walking the streets here than the streets of Amsterdam ...

At least you can't fall into a canal and drown in Sosua, so yes, although the gutters can be pretty deep.

Puntz. "Disappointed in lack of girls at Rumba." Man for all intense and purposes its closed. Yea you can walk in drink a beer with your dick in your hands ...

Be careful you don't choke on your dick.

I have only been going there for less than 4 years.

It is fucking amazing how many changes the small town of Sosua has been through!

Por amor de Dios; Basta!

The end is nigh for Sosua as a mass market sex tourism destination, but every cloud has a silver lining and if the'Classico Discoteca is all that remains, then at least it has the advantage of being smoke free, which most of the chicas will appreciate.

Frannie, this chick sent me a picture of herself in a hospital bed and said she's low on medicine. I told her I would pass her information along to you. I know how you hate to see them going without.

She is your friend, not mine. From what you say it is not clear whether she is in a private or public hospital or whether she has insurance and if so what it covers, but it is entirely possible that she would have to buy her own medicine to receive injections or intravenous medications in the hospital. I would ask her what is her diagnosis and what is the name of the drug she needs to buy and how much it costs, and I could give you an idea of whether it sounds authentic.

Of course it could just be a con, but then again if she is one of your well-off Dominicanas, she is probably trying to get into your pants, so be careful and always use a condom. You are too trusting for your own good.

Classicos is being allowed to stay because it is labeled "A Discotex", whereas the others (Dlatins and Rumba) were called " brothels".

I'll help her out. Can she wait until the end of August?

2 weeks till I take off and I need to know is the the threat level DEFCON5 in Sosua or is there no need to panic. I've heard stories of chicas being arrested and being frightened off, and with the looming threat of that chikunyunga virus I'm heavily considering canceling this trip and returning when the dust clears.

Puntz. "Disappointed in lack of girls at Rumba." Man for all intense and purposes its closed. Yea you can walk in drink a beer with your dick in your hands but who wants to. Its dom rep sure you can find a working girl on the strip but anybody that comes down often and stays anytime at all reconizes the hardcore girls that have been here for ever and as I stated before the quality imo is not very good. Not what I want. If going to Classicos at midnight is the end all be all you maybe happy. The accumlative effect is catching up with this place. The original question was about atrip in Oct...thats a lifetime away in this place but it isnt looking good.But I am glad somebody sees it different and is having fun.

This is all the more reason to stay in touch with star performers over the years. I haven't pulled an unknown off the strip in over two years. Facebook is the new interview spot for me, if they tell me everything I want to here then I will risk 1500 pesos on a ST session. If they are worthy of a repeat I keep their info, if not, I lose it. Just my two centavos.

I normally rent a car and stay at Plaza Europa.

Now that Pedro Clisante is closed for vehicles is it a problem?

Do I have to leave my car parked at the hotel and walk to clubs?

Will be there end of this month. Thanks for updated info.

I wouldn't sweat it, it's only a 5 minute walk. Plus you don't have to worry about drinking and driving. The way things change in the DR, the streets could possibly be back open in a month.

After talking to a few girls yesterday; a few are staying away until things calm down. Mostly hardcore chicas on a hustle running the strip now. Also the talk is that Rumbas is sinking fast and will be gone by the end of August.

Also Willy has quit his "Deputy Mayor" post. Willy was always the front man for new money. Word is that the female Mayor was going to fire him if he didn't resign. Willy is now with the other political party and time will tell if he makes a comeback.

Thanks, for the info, as I m going in October and was beginning to worry. Is there an increased police presence? Are there many Haitian chicas around? I find them a great alternative, but last time I was in, I believe they were deporting them regularly.

There is more police presence I have noticed, but just a few more police offers walking the streets. Which some will like as it gives the feeling of more security. Some people say Sosua is unsafe, but I have felt more safe walking the streets here than the streets of Amsterdam or Barcelona. Now those are significantly bigger cities, but Sosua is safe as long as you do all the right things (don't wear a fancy watch, show off any wealth, and act like you know where you are going).

Relax, and enjoy your trip. There are flavors of all types here and it is excellent.

Boy do I disagree with Puntza. Thank god I have some regulars. Hardcore girls just hanging out on the strip Quality way down IMO. Some of the best semipros I have met over my years arent walking the street. People sitting in the dark at places like where El Toro used to be. The vibe on the strip is gone. Signs on Rumbas and others not allowing unaccompanied females which obviously kills the places. No more 5:00 hanging watching sport with Chicas in Rumba. Beach during the day dead. Was planning a month after 10 days I am going back home. Bottom line anybody that has been coming for years is going to see big changes.

Yes there are changes, but any change is always initially perceived as negative before time allows things to settle and we really see how things go. In discussing with local bartenders that I know, they've mentioned that the police and government are trying to change things for more control but in terms of how busy it has been and the number of working girls. That has not changed much at all.

When I was here back in December, you had Rumbas and the'Latins where all the action was. Rumba would start off getting busy in the early evening hours and packed by 9 PM when the'Latin starts to get more girls. The traffic shifts a couple hours later and the'Latins becomes extremely crowded, and there are a lot of good looking girls at both places. And you're able to watch the action from across the street. Now, is it like that now? No. The establishments have the windows now so you can't look inside from a distance, you have to either get real close (which doesn't help much) or just walk inside. The'Latins is closed so that empty dark space that usually had hundreds of people flowing in and out every night certainly looks like a big change and some may see it as a vibe killer. Rumbas was not busy last night, I went at various times. 7 PM, 9 PM and close to midnight. So there is obvious drop off in traffic to Rumbas, but Classico and Merengue were packed. And because the street is now closed to vehicle traffic, there is a lot more foot traffic in the middle. Winners Circle bar is another area where there are chicas, although it's flowing more to Classico / Merengue. And I have not checked the other bars aside from Bermuda Bar (small bar on the corner of DR Rosen and PC, across from Rumba. It's different yes, but I can't say it's negative. It just depends on how you perceive it. Some will be disappointed by lack of girls at Rumba (which is true after seeing the last two nights) and the'Latin being closed. But when you have that happen, and other places open up. You can expect a shift in traffic. I got way too used to seeing Rumba and the'Latin being packed all the time. So when I arrived in Sosua this time, the first thing I thought was wow. This seems very different. But walk down the entire strip and you just see the quantity of chicas spread out a bit more with it being more central to Classico.

There is good different, and bad different. For me it becomes a bad different when I simply have difficulty finding a chica I find good looking. But I can say in all honesty that I had a much easier time on this trip (which is still on-going) finding a 7 or an 8 or even a 9. Especially at Classico last night. Some will like the changes, others will not, and some will hold judgement until giving it a couple trips. When we get used to something for a period of time and then see a couple pretty big changes. It's normal to be skeptical, and I was skeptical even when getting into town Thursday night. But after a couple days here so far, I am not noticing a decline in Sosua.

Can anyone comment on the current scene in, sosua? Any changes worth noting?
