Sosua Reports

[Bart1]

Yes the black culture and quest for the survival of the fittest creates a great deal of aggressiveness in the DR, Jamaica and every African country, then to boot you ad drinking and chicas to the mix and wham a powder keg ready to explode.

I have noticed in Colombia that other than an occasional bar brawl, which is not common, by and far the culture is not aggressive which is really appreciated when your a gringo and like to visit the very far off the beaten path types of local bars and street chicas.

Having lived in northern british Colombia and alberta towns where you went to the bars for entertainment to watch the Saturday night punchups, I was amazed while living in medellin for best part of 7 years of never seen a punch thrown in a bar, that includes the bars and strip clubs north and west of conejitas opposite plaza botero, accidently bump into a colombian and he says sorry, an albertan liable to punch you out.

A big disadvantage of meeting chicks online is that you can not fully check them out. Sure you can cam, but that does not tell a full story. I was dating a chick in Colombia whose friend had met an Australian guy online. They dated online for 1 year and even talked about marriage before he finally went to see her. When he finally met his fiancee he saw something that he could not have previously known. There was something wrong with her legs so she had a weird walk. After seeing her that first day, he blew her off the rest of his vacation.

In January I met a pharmacist online who lives in Santiago. I went there and we met up at Kukaramacara. She looked pretty good, just like her photos and the cam. Then I saw something that I just can not deal with. She had a lobster claw hand! How am I going to get through this night?

We went upstairs and sat at my usual table in front of the street. Outside facing me was a big ass billboard with a lobster grinning at my ass! I should have thrown in the towel right then. After dinner we went back to my hotel but I did not let her come in. I made an excuse about needing to get some rest and she took a taxi home. I win a whole hell of a lot of them, but every now and then I chalk up a loss.

It is present all over where African slaves came in. Brazil. Condomble. Cuba, Puerto Rico Santeria. Haiti. Vodou. Since I was a French major I did a project on Haitian Voudou when I was in school. A couple of days ago I was in Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil and took a tour of this old house. The lady that gave us the tour was a witch and showed us the supposed Christian statues that were made by the slaves that masked their true African gods and saints.

I did a little afro Cuban salsa years ago. The instructor talked about Santeria and the Orishas some, the I did some reading. Fascinating history!

[Mr Enternational]

I second this recommendation. This religion is more present in Cuba that one would think. There are temples, often wall-painted joyfully, with blue sea waves, and it's very interesting to learn about this religion.

I like New Years Eve in Bazil also more than Carnival. She is an Orisha goddess (Yemanja) brought to Brasil by West Africans. A Yoruba religion which is also practice in Cuba. If you ever go to Cuba I recommend anyone to experience the Spiritual tour and learn about the history in Cuba.

Sounds like New Year's Eve in Brasil where everyone (and I mean thousands of people) wears white and goes to the beach with white flowers and white candles to pay homage to the Goddess of the Sea. One of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my entire life!

It's just a club event where you wear all white.

Guys have been doing white parties for a few years. Guys hook up with chicas and their buddies, It looks corney to me but I tend to
of be a lone wolf. At the end of the day the girls love it and that is really what counts. In truth any thing you can do to make the trip more fun is a positive.

Ummmmm, what's an "All White VIP Party"?

It has to do with the machismo attitude / culture in the DR and other latin countries not black culture. Women are killed like chicken there. You can read the newspaper and you will see how women are treated across the island. Better yet, talk with a women that will give you the honest truth. In Africa, which I also travelled to several times. [CodeWord123] is very high and goes unpunished. Some women don't even report it. The judicial system / police are not doing there job in protecting these women. Most of the police / judges are men. The problem is male centered / domineering attitude. Throw in the ignorance myths bestowed upon poor uneducated people by missionaries like the virgin cleansing. Then you would understand why AIDS and sexual abuse are high.

[The Tall Man]

It's literally a jungle out there in that part of town.


My buddy tried to intervene in a fight at Bar Central Tuseday night which saw a local hooker beat and kicked senselessly by the bouncer, and thrown in the gutter.

He's a big guy, and can take care of himself, but the culture here is different from back home, and there's no real right and wrong, only survival.

As the other posters warn, pay attention to your safety out there!

RIP. This Canadian expat lived in Villa La Mulata.

Be careful out there.

It's literally a jungle out there in that part of town.

Visitors and ex pats in Sosua can take for granted the relative safety of Sosua, with it's endless patrols of Tourist, Federales, Nationales policing. ATM guards with sawed off shotguns.

But they are there for a reason.

It is very important for ex pats, and visitors alike, to keep a low profile and opt for security in their choice of residence. I can reduce my rental considerably by moving a few blocks away from town, but I enjoy a beer and walking home safely at night!

A low profile also prevents you from making local enemies. It's a very small town. You are watched and remembered. Stay away from altercations with, or between locals.

Another case of a robbery gone wrong. The robbers tied up the victims and this guy got loose and tried attacking the robbers with a machete he had in the house. The robbers shot him.

You start off by asking them what gift they want you to bring? You have to tell us what the ratio is. I bet that 99% start off asking for the latest iPhone, Laptop or Tablet? I can't imagine a Dominican woman asking for perfume or a dress from a gringo.

Dominican women can ask for anything, and do!

Personally, with my regular, I ignore all requests, and set my own limits by giving money, an occasional shopping trip to Playera or La Sirena, based on my own budget and services received, and good behaviour. LOL.

I limit my time with her to two or three days a week (at my age) on a regular basis, so she has to live her own life for most of the time independent from my support.

She, and a couple of her friends have grown comfortable with this arrangement, and I am under no obligation to pony up for rent, hospital costs or other expenses they incur from time to time.

But the little I give her on a regular basis, does make a difference in her life, and is appreciated. It was me who suggested out of the blue that she get running water up to the small third floor flat she shares with her kid, and occasional GF. For a hundred bucks she got it done in 2 weeks. There's also a small fridge in her place now from the money I gave her over the last 3 years. Now I can handle a few days at her place!

So flame me! Lol

When it comes to chicas, you either train them, or they will train you! But it's your dough, so you should always get the last word. Took a little effort and a few heart to heart conversations, and a willingness to walk away, but paid off and we are both very happy with the set up! I personally wouldn't change a thing!

(We share an ongoing joke between us - "Tu jefe en PP, pero mi jefe en Sosua" Lol)

As for monger's gifting, no hard and fast rules apply to everyone, but if a guy wants a fantasy GFE weekend, nothing wrong with him acting like a boyfriend, with little thoughtful gifts! All part of the fantasy!

As usual, IMHO and YMMV
