Sosua Reports

Yes. It is better to bring Canadian money because the exchange rate is higher for Canadian Dollars than it is for American Dollars. Go figure that.

The Canadian dollar may be trading higher than the US$ on FOREX but you will not get more pesos in the Dominican Republic.

If the Loonie is trading around over 34.5 on http://www.xe.com/, you will be lucky to get 32 in the DR while the US will be around 33.5 or more.

Changing CDN$ in the DR used to be a terrible idea resulting in a ding of 10-20% but it is better now but you will still lose 6-15%.

Better to buy US$ and use the ATM.

Both will cost 2-3%.

well, i am still catching by breath over this trip.

i booked at the new garden feb 29th to march 6th then did a black beards trip until the march 9th. i will write up a separate report for bb as i have interesting observations to make with respect to an earlier stay at oxygen’s resort.

as soon as i walked onto ng grounds one of our very own isg brothers from san diego “member #2041” was there to greet me. i will call him mb just for short. must have been easy for him as i described myself as a 5’8” skinny white guy with thinning hair.

mb’s scene was in doing the street massage girls and i must say after hearing some of his stories he was getting some pretty awesome values. there were some posts about these girls earlier and he found them along martinez street as it curves up from dr. rosen and intersects with clisante street. he had to work for what he got although there was some stumbling with some of the girls. maybe he can chime in with his experience if by some chance he reads this.

my first nights there i ended up pairing with an isog poster from seattle i will call cc. cc is part cuban and you wont find a better more experienced wingman anywhere.

then, there was artisttyp from nyc who i understand is still there and is still actively posting from sosua. art is a pretty decent looking guy and has a speech stutter which makes it hard for him to get laid in his own country. don’t let stutter impediments fool you though. art is a pretty sharp guy and with nyc street smarts. i would pit his mongering skills against most anybody else here. he is just as big a ***** as the rest of us and i was proud to have him around.

we all commonly got together to share war stories of the day before and plans for the evening. i think i was the only one who did not mind paying for the higher price girls. cc was priced in the middle with art and dg more of the value hunters.

then there was our el torro gringo. what can i say. the guy knows all the girls and has his own private pad to impress and boink on the girls on demand. i will mention a party he threw in one of my next postings.

before i stop with the intro’s there was one last isg poster with his friends staying at casa cayena i wanted to mention. i don’t recall his posting handle and i wont release his first name so i will just call him fl for florida. fl was a super friendly, also liked the value girls, and every time i stopped to talk to him he had a big wide grin on his face. well that is what this is all about right !

well, i shared my time between 4 girls over 7 days. there was passions lucy, julie, and rosa who rocked my world on a previous trip: http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...&page=4&pp=100

time for a writing rest so look for my continuation post in a day or so.

Talked to my novia tonight and she told me that 2 tourists were killed in Sosua today with a knife. I don't know any more details, and there is no guarantee that she has got the story completely right, but does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks for the info . I will be back in Dr. soon and im wondering if it's better to bring us or canadian $$$ .

Any ideas ?

Yes canadian dollars are not a bad idea. However I have seen it equal to the dollar at times.

The dollar has been at 33.60 for the past two days. I cashed enough to get me through the rest of the week.

This is the best one. You can even sign up for daily emails that list the exchange rates.

So what is the exchange rate from canadian $$$ in sosua ?

According to yahoo.com the exchange rate today for Canadian dollars to Dominican Pesos should be 34.241RD for $1 Canadian Dollar. The exchange rate for the American dollar is 33.950RD for $1 US dollar. I am not sure what they are doing in Soua but if you have an ATM car get your money out of Scotia Bank and you should get a rate close to that.

Good luck.

What is the exchange rate in sosua for us and canadian today ?

$1 US = 33 pesos however yesterday I only got 32 . Don't change money on a sunday due to the markets being closed.

The canadian dollar is either equal to or a little bit more. The euro is getting 55/60 pesos.

I can't stomach to see what the british pound is getting.

Jasperhup,

Try posting your question in the Sosua hotel thread. That way when it gets answered other new guys can more easily find the answer.

But, in general, using the email or website reservation forms are the best way to do it in Sosua. Secure online booking would only be required if you were paying in advance, which you need not do.

Thanks buddy, I just got a confo email from them so I'm off!

I've hit a few places (Thailand, costa, Panama, etc) but some of those mixed DR girls are still something I'm looking forward to!

Don't stay there its a dump real dump mold walls and everything went there last year in may just to see the rooms for myself I stayed at the europa could not believe what I was seeing you get what you pay for I think 20 a night you really have to be on budget to stay there.

You're talking about the Hotel at Rocky's right?I'm staying at their condo's and on their web site they look nice.I have a Friend down there now and he's going to take a look at the condo's.I pass his report on.
