Santo Domingo

Anyone who hands over money is part of the problem not part of the solution. We've been over this many times over the years. The police will use all sorts of nonsensical tricks to get you to hand over money. Stall, delay, intimidation, threats to tow your car. It's all nonsense. First of all only AMET (the traffic police) can give you a traffic ticket. If you make it clear you are in no hurry and as long as you don't get aggressive or loud they will eventually go away. You have to let them save face. I get it, if you are visiting for a handful of days it's not worth the time or trouble to save a few hundred pesos. If you drive regularly you see it differently.

I agree. I have rented a car my last 3 or 4 trips down, and I have never given a dime to La Policia Nacional. I did get pulled over by AMET for talking on my cellular without a hands free device. I was wrong, and on my way to the airport (leaving the country that day), so I paid 500 pesos. Policia Nacional has stopped me a couple of times near the floating bridge going to avenida espana.

You still going to Hooters for the games today, OK? Ill. Be there foa afc but will watch packers beat 9 ers in my my room at napolitano with my own personal cheerleader.

For you vets, any approach angle on how you meet the local women in the malls?

I lived in Santo Domingo (Gascue) for a year. I speak the language, so I had no issues going to Agora Mall, Sambil Mall, Blue Mall or Galleria 360 and pulling some chicas with daygame. I think my bodycount for mall chicas, in a year, was easily around 30.

Now see. You just taught me something. Until this day I could not for the life of me figure out why they keep pulling people over because in the at least 30 times that they have pulled me over, I have given them ZERO. I might start pulling people over too if it is paying like that. Please tell us what would make you give those folk money. And $200 at that!

Trip notes:

3rd dedicated trip to Santo Domingo. 5th overall to DR. Decent Spanish here. Brought my virgin buddy along. Zero Spanish, zero international travel experience, but enjoys mongering in the sex prison that is the US. *.

We stayed in Piantini in an Air be&be. Decent place. Had a nice second floor terrace to entertain groups of girls. Also had a pool side terrace that worked well when we wanted to split up and entertain. *.

I mostly worked my usual semi pros but did meet one civi from Tinder who was just super sweet. Met up for drinks in Colonial with her friend and my friend. Dinner two nights later and it was game on. Super toned body with easily double the's. Talk about fantasy sex. The best was that she was just down to earth and sweet. Love finding those diamonds. *.

My boy did a LOT of work on Tinder. We realized that paying for the superlikes (25 of them) and going that route really puts you in the front of the line. He also had moderate success talking and meeting a few women from Instagram. Most of us take the women over to whatsapp, but he also used IG as a tool to communicate. *.

I met two other ones from Tinder. Semi pros. Drinks at the Air be&be, amazing sex for a few hours. Zero discussion about money. Overpaid at $60 but damn service was siiiiiiick. *.

My buddy eventually got the lay of the land and was out on his own. He hit up Foxxys and Oasis more than once. Just blowing through the girls at $100/ session. Crazy fool. *.

I took him to GBP and he was shocked at how cheap that place was. Hahaha. Fun times to be had always. *.

I didn't see much in the way of cute SW's / parque chicas in the Colonial this time. I expected more of that. *.

For you vets, any approach angle on how you meet the local women in the malls? So many hotties in Downtown Center. *.

Probably the best two stories was my buddy did a repeat session with a chica who came to the Air be&be. I think they agreed to 2 hours and she showed up looking rough with the usual sob story about who really cares. Service was terrible and he gave her the boot after an hour and paid her half. I was pretty proud of him for doing that!

Second best story was that I met another chica from Tinder. Just hung out the first time. Nothing crazy. I invited her to Vent Lounge (love that place) for drinks and food with my buddy. Told her to bring a small bikini. She's a dancer and her body is sick!. She comes out in this little tiny G string bikini. Peoples eyes were popping. Anyways, afternoon goes along. We are popping $30 bottles haha. She's feeling good and some American chica in the pool comes over and makes conversation with us in English. My girl is feeling left out and just goes nuts in a jealous spasm. She was last seen storming out of Vent Lounge in her g string bikini with her ass shaking. Hahahah. Probably a blessing in disguise. But that ass. Mmmm.

That's it for now!*.

I am not an expat there, but I roll different from you OK.

You are not the only one Mr. E.

I know of at least three people that would not consider themselves expats who maintain cars and apartments here. With "me no like casa guy" it's personal. He has posts deleted from my blog for being argumentative with me. But the shadowing does promote exchange even when the forum is yesterdays news and close to being played out because of no real information being posted up in here by the off-islanders who should be in the position to provide insight into the current situation. There have been two individuals whom I helped: Coolgreg and MasterofNone. They came in here asked questions, had a great trip and then posted nothing. No trip report, nada. But "me no like casa" guy wants to take issue with me for providing information from the perspective of an Expat that might actually help an off-islander handle his business better. Why is that?

[Mr Enternational]

When I travel between cities I use Metro & Caribe Tours for 7 bucks no need for Uber there. Now this an off Islander forum. Expats are the outsider here. The way us mongers handle our business should be very.

Different from an expat.

I am not an expat there, but I roll different from you OK. If I am going to sit in a hotel and wait on a chick, then maybe go to the mall with the chick, then go back to the hotel with the chick, then yes, Uber could be the way to go (I do have stock in it, so please continue to use it.).

But I am going all over the country at a moment's notice. I never really have a plan when I go to DR. I just go with the flow. One moment I am off in La Vega and the next moment in San Francisco. I may stop to eat fish in Boca Chica on my way out to Juan Dolio. Before my fish is ready, I need to run by Ole to get me 3 bottles of Baldom hot sauce to take back to the States with me.

Then I need to run to old girl's place way across town to get my nails done. I like being mobile and moving on my own schedule, not on Uber's, Caribe Tours', or Metro's.

Next time I will probably head out to Bahia de Las Aguilas. That is 10 hours west by bus, but only 6 hours by car. And I want to stop where and when I want to stop. I might see some cool shit and want to pull over to experience it. All you can do is wave at it through the window when you are on a bus.

Next month when I get to Brazil me and girlfriend are doing the same thing. Only thing we have is a car rented. We are driving 14 hours down the coast from Natal to Salvador in 10 days stopping where we want to stop and seeing whatever we find interesting to see. That will be the life; not hopping on a bus to get to the next city then having to depend on other transportation to take us around. You only live once and I am trying to see and experience some shit while I am here, not just stick my dick into various holes. I am a tourist as well as a monger.

Until this day I could not for the life of me figure out why they keep pulling people over because in the at least 30 times that they have pulled me over, I have given them ZERO.

Well what do we have here? A off-islander handing their business like an Expat does. According to "me no like casa" guy that does not happen. The last five times I got pulled over in the Gran Jefe mobile I gave exactly nothing. But what was more interesting is that I was asked for exactly nothing (with one exception).

According to "me no like casa" guy (an off-islander) that keeps quoting me. He says I'm an outsider. I understand how he feels about that. But he needs to remember I'm Black by popular demand. I've been that way all my life I've been an outsider in my country of origin my entire life. And I'm an outsider in Republica Dominicana. And since off-islanders have nothing to learn from expats (or maybe it's just him), continue to handle their business how they choose. Dowhatchalike! Throw your money around. Don't go to casas (they manage to stay in business without your business). And don't worry that I'm I'll fucking your girls before you get here and after you leave for a fraction of the money you are giving them. That is unless they are simply pining away for you to return. Right?

[Mr Enternational]

During my last visit, my wingman insisted we rent a car (because I pay for it). As usual, it was regret from the very start. Not only did we have to deal with the batshit crazy traffic, but we had the police shakedown on the way back out of the country. Yes, they hit us for $200 on the road to the airport at 0500.

Now see. You just taught me something. Until this day I could not for the life of me figure out why they keep pulling people over because in the at least 30 times that they have pulled me over, I have given them ZERO. I might start pulling people over too if it is paying like that. Please tell us what would make you give those folk money. And $200 at that!

Are we overthinking this? I have used uber when we deicided to go to Juan Dolio or Boca Chica. Well worth the price. No different than anyone on this board trying to talk with an uber driver for making money off the books. It can be done.

Boca Chica 45 minutes away from Santo Domingo, Juan Dolio another 15 minutes. You taking Uber to Puta Cana, Barahona or the North Coast?

How is is possible for Old Kool to quote me and tell me I'm the outsider when I can't even see his posts when I log in? OK, if after five years of living on the island my contributions are not valued by the off islanders talking shit in the forum, then it's better to be an outsider. If you take a look at Mr. E's post you see that even off-islanders handle their business differently and disagree. It's not something unique to being an Expat. LOL!

[Confiable]

Are we overthinking this? I have used uber inside the capital with a girl that I was seeing and she connected with a female uber driver. I am not sure if there are many in the DR but she became our personal valet when we deicided to go to Juan Dolio or Boca Chica. Well worth the price. No different than anyone on this board trying to talk with an uber driver for making money off the books. It can be done.

Try using Uber to travel to a different city in Republica Dominicana from Santo Domingo / Santo Domingo este. I'll stand by for your report. Full disclosure, I don't own stock in Uber.




Rental car problems. That sounds like an off-islander issue. Never had them.

Then again I always have the Gran Jefe mobile waiting whenever I need it. Holla!

Keep in mind that when you break down the cost of the car it is very close to the cost of my driver with his car! And he does the driving.

Rethink the rental scene!

Happy 2020!

I rented a car one time in SD for a week. When I returned the car I promised myself I would never do it again. MR Es story is not unique. A bad rental car experience can ruin your entire vacation. SD uber service is cheap and very good.
