Sosua Reports

[Sherroid]

Flew into PAP today around 1:30. Had a driver, Jose Martinez, waiting for our party of 5. He was recommended, drives a minivan taxi and we will all pay him around $30US each when we depart on Monday for 24/7 driving. Checked into Residencial Hispaniola for two 4br villas. Others otw from Chicago.

Went to a Cambio recommended by Jose, exchange was 42.2, declined and went Banco Providencial. Asked for $2k they said they only had $100, got them up to exchange $500 at 43.17. They closed completely on the next customer who was part of my party. That wasn't strange as I read about them, what was strange was the guy who opened the door for me wielding a shotgun.

Went to the supermercado, spent about $9kD, picked up a $20US phone and went and cooked. Jose arrived within minutes and will hit the strip and usual haunts posted by others.

Report to follow.

My plan was to look for a nice hatian girl with a nice smile for my first time after what I read here I thought it would be a safe choice. There are so many beautiful women here of all types, it's crazy. But I was trying to stay away from the over the top hair, nails, make up done up types just being so green and no Spanish I didn't want any problems.

In the spirit of Homeland Security, here is the complete "avoid list":

Expensive-looking clothes, shoes, or hairdo

Blonde or red hair (natural or dyed)

Body piercings (except for earrings) and body jewellery.

High heels (they look sexy but will turn out to be bloody inconvenient)

Tattoos.

Phone costing more than 500 pesos.

Colored contact lenses.

False or painted nails.

Anything more than minimal makeup (none at all is best)

Augmented breast or buttocks.

Thick waist or thighs.

Speaks English, German, or Italian (or, ideally, Spanish, but I don't want to seem a killjoy). French is acceptable from Haitians, and Russian or Chinese could have an interesting tale attached.

Drinks alcohol (make an exception for two small local beers or Cuba libres over the course of a couple of hours)

Asks for a specific brand of alcohol or imported product.

Orders the most expensive thing on the menu (usually without having a clue what it is)

Has a mother, a father, a brother or any other family member (unless it is sexy sister or cousin). Well, of course they all have, or have had, mothers and fathers, but for them to come up in the conversation during the first month of friendship is a recipe for trouble or expense.

Gambles.

Smokes.

Takes drugs.

Coughs up blood.

On the rag.

Smelly pussy or other body odor.

Picks her nose or uses cocktail sticks to clean out earwax.

Suggests taking a taxi anywhere.

Suggests a particular motoconchista, bar or restaurant.

Speaks well of the USA or of Americans (insincerity is a mood killer) or claims to like baseball or American Football.

Answers her phone when in your company.

Racist (unless Haitian. They are all racist, poor things. It is not their fault).

Under 18.

Over 19.

Shows the slightest sign of interest in religion. (Saying grace before anal sex is a dead giveaway).

I am sure I have forgotten a few things but I don't want to limit your choice or give anybody the idea I am a narrow-minded bigot

You are correct Mapello's number is (809) 491-3024. Saw him at the exchange place next to M&M massage this morning. He lives there it seems. I asked him to verify the spelling of his name. M A P E L L O, is correct according to him.

That's the same place I exchange my money when I'm in Sosua. I haven't found a better rate; it beats the "Big Playero", Western Union, Banco Popular, and definitely any money exchange person on the street.

I think that is a very smart move on your part.

[Wrx2005]

That is an option. Question though. If I am correct you live in the DR fulltime? Do you have funds directly deposited to your SB account from outside the country? Or do you make all of the deposits into your SB account yourself?

I did with ScotiaBank, no fees for withdrawals. A checking account is a different matter, expensive to use

FYI for anybody; Went to Scotia Bank today to open a savings account. They gave me a form explaining what the criterior is for a non resident.

1) Need a passport.

2) Your drivers license or some other form of I'd.

3) A reference letter from your bank in the states addressed to Scotia Bank (they need to know you for at least 2 years ).

4) And lastly, a reference letter from your landlord in the DR addressed to Scotia Bank.

I have not tried any other banks, so I do not know any other banks policy for opening an account when one is a non resident.

Will probably check out another bank next week.

[Wrx2005]

I concur with everything you said about Mopello. However, I have his number as 809-491-3024. Not sure which is correct.

BTW, I went to Banco Providential earlier this morning, they told me to come back at 2:00 or 2:30pm. Someone else confirmed that they usually cater to the exchange guys 1st, before anybody else. The rate they had posted for US was 43. 17. Down from 43. 52 that I got back in late February. The exchange place by Orange was 43. 05.
Since I didnt feel like waiting or being told they could only exchange a smaller amount, I exchanged 3k in US cash with the place by Orange with no problem or hesitation whatsoever.

For all the guys that have been around many chicas from the DR know that a lot of them are very curios to the stuff you have with you and do not mind using stuff like your hair brush to comb there hair. Which does not really bother me but I suggest that all mongers put that shit away. I had a chica on this trip use my tooth brush for who only knows what because in the morning time I went to use and it had a big o black hair entangled in the end. Defiantly no mistake it was put there. I know I always try to keep in good with even the bad performers if possible. This can happen to anyone who allows it to. Like me

My restaurant chica spent the night last night. In the morning she closed the door to the bathroom. A few minutes later I hear toothbrushing sounds and gargling. When I went in there, my toothbrush was wet. Yep, she used my toothbrush to brush her teeth. I had bought a few before, so I gave her her own, and a baggie so she can keep it in.

So which gets your vote, Sosua or BB?

How much more did she deserve?

Depends on the hunter searching for the thrill of the hunt in the wild or on a game preserve?

[BoredInIN]

So which gets your vote, Sosua or BB?

I have to say Sosua pretty easily for me. I still think BB for a couple days is a good idea for a first timer, especially if you're traveling alone. I think it also depends on the guy, I've said I speak very little Spanish, but if the chica is sexy I will dam sure try. Some seem to enjoy it, like a game, trying to communicate. I've met a couple guys that spoke no Spanish and were pretty timid, lucky for them they did have an experienced monger with them that spoke Spanish, if they came alone I would say BB for sure for them.

How much more did she deserve?

I probably would of gave her 1500 pesos total if I had change, but she seemed happy and wants to see me again so I'm worried about it. But I guess thinking about it now, if 500 truly was her original request, not sure, then 1250 was generous. There are some scammers here, but there also are some that go out of their way to make sure you are happy and pleased. I try to reward that, but have tried not to be a fool about it.

Mr. E, I know you have a ton of experience. How much do you think it would cost a chica to get from PP to Sosua on public transportation? The BB chica I liked wants to come stay with me, said she would have to pay 1000 peso to miss work though. I need to find out how much she expects on top of that. I'm still not sure if I'm going to do it, but I did enjoy her and I'm thinking maybe at the end of my trip when I'm tired of the sport fucking.

[Mr Enternational]

I checked out if BB today and was a little sad to leave as I had gotten comfortable in that setting, but I was getting bored. I had met 4 other guys there who were checking out today and going to Sosua as well.

So which gets your vote, Sosua or BB?

I think if I spoke Spanish 500 would of been the price. I asked twice and she typed "1005" in her phone, LOL the 5 threw me, I typed in "1000" and she said si. She stayed for about 3 hours and I enjoyed her company. But I had to fake it round 3 and probably shouldn't even attempted anyway. She showers and is ready to leave. She doesn't say anything about money, I give her $1250 rolled up, she deserved more but I didn't have change.

How much more did she deserve?

[BoredInIN]

I don't think you could find a puta with single pubic hair in all of Sosua if someone paid you a million dollars.

Manizales911,

I'm quoting because oddly enough my first ever Sosua chica I pulled tonight had Bush. But I'll get to that in a second.

I checked out if BB today and was a little sad to leave as I had gotten comfortable in that setting, but I was getting bored. I had met 4 other guys there who were checking out today and going to Sosua as well. A couple of Jamaican guys and and English mate. They knew nothing of the forum but 1 of them did have a previous trip under his belt. He kept telling his friends if Blackbeards is like the zoo we are about to go to the jungle with Sosua. After my first night I would say that's pretty accurate, not that it's bad but you just need to be much more aware of your surroundings that BB. I should also probably mention I know about 10 Spanish words total and had zero problems at BB.

I took a taxi over from BB (1700 pesos) and arrived at Rocky's. There was a slight communication problem with my reservation. I'm not placing blame, it was probably my fault. I thought I was staying at Sosua suites, he had me down for mary rose. Both places were fully booked so no worries, I'll make it work and rick seems like a good guy. I actually really like mary rose and the security I just wanted the proximity of sosua suites.

It's about 5pm and I walk around to check things out and get some dinner. It's already starting to pick up and the chicas are aggressive. I'll be damn, you tell them maybe later and they still remember your ass 5 hours later. I find Rocky's and have to try the ribs that everybody talks about. They were pretty good, I ate in peace and enjoyed the scenery of the chicas going in and out of the hair place next door. I finish up and decide to walk the strip some more. I check out rumbas and it was already kind if overwhelming. Oh what's with the pizza place next to the latins? There were some sexy mamis in there working and having fun dancing, I need to look into this more. I decide to go home and take a nap and debate not even going out.

It's my first night, who am I kidding, I can't stay at home. I rest for a bit and hop on a motor cycle taxi (Jesus I make note not to do this if I'm drunk). There's this fancy disco place across the street from rumbas. I grabbed a grande presdiente there and sat outside for about an hour and people watched. I decide to head in to rumbas. My plan was to look for a nice hatian girl with a nice smile for my first time after what I read here I thought it would be a safe choice. There are so many beautiful women here of all types, it's crazy. But I was trying to stay away from the over the top hair, nails, make up done up types just being so green and no Spanish I didn't want any problems. I run into the mates from BB and feel a little better having some wing men. It was short lived though as we finish are beer and head to the latins. I buy a round there and we make a lap. I see this short little cutie I had seen early across the street earlier and said maybe later to. She saw me and jumped in my arms, I liked her, her beauty was simple and she was dressed cute but not over the top. I start to talk price, I swear she said 500 una hora. I thought that seemed very low and my Spanish is so bad I wanted to make sure I understood. I think if I spoke Spanish 500 would of been the price. I asked twice and she typed "1005" in her phone, LOL the 5 threw me, I typed in "1000" and she said si.

I picked a good one, we arrive back at Mary Rose. She is very GFE, lots of kissing, BBBJ. 69, cfs and yes a little Bush. This girl worked damn hard, I had my vitamine V but she kept asking for una mas freaky freaky. She stayed for about 3 hours and I enjoyed her company. But I had to fake it round 3 and probably shouldn't even attempted anyway. She kept saying she would stay no problem but she has baby at home, which was fine I kind of wanted to sleep alone tonight anyway. She showers and is ready to leave. She doesn't say anything about money, I give her $1250 rolled up, she deserved more but I didn't have change. She didn't even look at it, just put it in her purse. I walked her and I'm in need of a good night sleep.

I can never get pics to upload from my phone so those will have to wait. Oh and I did want to mention right across the street from mary rose this guy who had been around, from Toronto but has lived in Sosua for 20 years opened his own little street bar. It's tiny, maybe 8 bar stools and one big booth but he's and good guy and knowledgeable. He had some of the cheapest drink prices I've seen in sosua so far, he wants to add a simple food menu and serve until late in the night. That would be great because there isn't much down here late. Check him out, I hope he makes it.

You can find tons of pubes. Some are shaved bald, some are trimmed short, and some have the full set. I would like to claim your million dollars. It would take me five minutes.

Pubic hair may be rarer among Dominican full-time working girls, but once you deal with non-pros and semi-pros, and especially with haitianas, it is not uncommon.

One ex-pat is offering a free shaving service to Sosua chicas and is doing steady business, all photographically recorded, but he cannot keep up with the steady trickle of new talent so he will have no impact on the overall picture.

[Charles Pooter]

You are right, that's what I did last night. Probably something like 200 chicas between Rumba and DLatin.

Maybe 10 were stunningly beautiful.

My goodness.

I return tonight.

Glad you are off to a good start. (Obviously you are unaware of what so many knowledgeable posters are telling us: "Sosua is dead, Sosua is finished, not worth visiting, etc, etc")

Ended up with one of them for a very hot session in a hotel across the street.

Am I correct in thinking the "hotel across the street" was the short-term room above Bar Central? If that worked for you, then fine, but for a couple hundred pesos more you could use the cabana "Dulce Secreto" which you might find more comfortable. Cabanas are like motels renting for 2 to 4 hours specifically for brief sexual encounters.

[RonnyRon]

Whats going on RR. I started traveling based on you and another member years ago. Bestmate. Only been to Thailand and Philippines but been going to Thailand every year sense 2003. I have never been to DR and would like to check it out as it is a lot closer. I'm in the SF bay area. I like the way you vacation. Nice and smooth. Can you give me a one week plan for Sosua from the bay area. Airline, hotels, eating spots, girl spots / prices. I'm not trying to spend a grip but I'm not no cheap chalie either. LOL.

Long91,

2K will just about cover everything. Flights are about $600 and room for a week about $400. The rest is party money. Enjoy! PM me for more info.
