Santo Domingo

[Mr Gogo]

You seem to imply that I say Santo Domingo is perfect. You re-posted a post I wrote three years ago, after being stopped by "police" in santo domingo for nothing. I was pissed. But I let it go and did not let it consume me with venom and hatred. If they stop me now, I don't take it personal and try to not let it bother me.

In the last three years there have been many improvements to Santo Domingo. If you read all my posts, I visit San Pedro de Macoris every trip. I travel to and in and around Santo Domingo. There are all types, shapes, sizes and colors of women in Santo Domingo. Many people have fun there, lots of fucking going on there.

I will be in Santo Domingo in two days, if I meet doggy women (I am a doggy guy) I will enjoy their company (everyone has something good to offer).

Thats your most sensible post since they released you from the mental health facility. Stop trying to make SD seem like a walk in the park. Tell the good and the bad so people can't say you fooled them after their visit. Its a lot of raw newbies that look up to you because you have the patience to help them. They deserve honesty.

No wonder guys say you are weird.

I think I'll totally relax today, as opposed to mostly relaxing, haha.

Actually, I've gotten more than enough exercise and visited a bunch of sites, but that's not what we're here to talk about.

First off, I had my first ever meet-up with a girl from online, cupido I think. She was absolutely fantastic and I finally have 1 lousy phone number in my book.). She said it was her first time doing such a thing. Who knows? But she gave a real girlfriend experience. 18 years old (I thought she was older until I asked after the, uh, ceremonies) , big beautiful tits and a face like an angel. I considered it a bargain for 1500 pesos.

Just before that, same site, I asked a total knockout. 9 or 10, her price. I asked about a massage and more, my exact words. She asked me what I would pay. I said 1000 leaving room for negotiation. She asked if it was dollars or pesos. When I told her pesos, she asked if I was loco. I couldn't help but laugh. She wanted 15, 000 pesos! I asked her the same question and told her I could get 5 girls or more for that price. Her response was that she was beautiful. Ya know, and I thought about this later, in the US, she could probably get what she wanted. But this ain't the US. She wouldn't come down 1 peso.

Cuban cigars. I am the stoopidest of stoopid noobies and probably deserved to get ripped off. I knew nothing about cigars before I came down. The thought never crossed my mind that counterfeiting cubans is widespread, which it is. Anyway, there is a happy ending. The turista police are located on the pedestrian mall. I told my story in my broken spanish. 2 officers agreed to go to the store with me and try to resolve the matter. It was obvious they were there just to make everyone happy, not to bust the owner's chops for selling counterfeits. Which was ok by me. As a result, I got my money back.

I don't know the official name of the pedestrian mall or if it even has one. It seems that's what people call it though.

As for the mechanics of arranging to meet a beauty parlor girl. These are generally legitimate salons. They do everything a salon does plus many give massages in the back. I had a massage inside 2 of the places and the menu is somewhat limited (though you can get a happy ending) and the space was very cramped. Plus only a thin curtain separated the room from the "regular" customers. However, the girls act as touts at some of the salons and that's how I came about making deals. A quick exchange of phone numbers. I don't recall this to be the case the last time I visited. But it seems to be prevalent now. Not all girls will freelance but it can't hurt to ask.

In the 2 times I stayed at the Palacio, I never noticed any streetwalkers on the pedestrian mall above a 3, and they were few. I never once saw one at Paco's and I go there regularly. It's one of the only decent places to eat on the walk itself with reasonable prices.

The walk from the walkway to the Palacio is a short distance away from the walkway on a sidestreet (Duarte). It feels as safe as most any place late at night. The night guard at the Palacio is visible almost as soon as U-turn onto Duarte. I've yet to see any mischief on the street late at night.

Anthony Bourdain is my hero and acquaintance. [he wrote the introduction to my book. ] But he travels with lots of people.

Thanks for the honest report. Good to read some real observations of a visit to SD.

BTW, the pedestrian mall is called El Conde.

You mention you have a book, PM me details if possible.

[Jaosousa]

nice tip about the beauty parlour women. if you could pick them up, your spanish must not be that bad!

online chicas chickening out. haha i have some already chickened out on me. and i haven't even left for my trip yet! (in two weeks time). i guess it is a numbers game. it really is not easy. like i said before, props to the vets here who are doing it well.

you wouldn't have been able to bring the "cuban" cigars back into the us anyways. us customs seized mine when i was coming back from the bahamas years ago. i'm not a cigar aficionado, but aren't dominican cigars well regarded? a casual cigar smoker would have thanked you for bringing back a nice box of dominicans.

i used to smoke cigarettes and sometimes miss smoking a cigarette in the dom rep.

induban might be the company that sells santo domingo cafe (coffee). there is a building on maximo gomez that is a coffee building (packaging, distribution etc), maybe it is industrias banilejas, sas (induban), ave maximo gómez 118, (clasificado: café/torrefacciones), (809) 565-3121. people from bani are called banilejos or banilejas. people from santo domingo are called capitalenos. people from la vega, veganos. santago, santigueras.

sometimes i think about smoking a cigar in the dr. from a webpage that sells santo domingo coffee, an article (advertisement) i found to be interesting regarding cigars (http://cafe-santo-domingo.com/conten...minican-cigar-): "viviana cigars, a dominican cigar. the cigar, before luxury item, has been democratized. we offer high quality puros. 100% tobacco with no additives or chemicals added, at the right price. hand made under the direction of viviana, a former employee of the famous house arturo fuente, she gives you her tips to choose a cigar that suits you and how to smoke it. smoke rises in the air, cigar well in hand and in mouth the connoisseur knows a moment of pleasure, as when he drinks a fine wine. since its fame in the 18th century, the cigar is attached to special moments. unlike the cigarette which is often a mechanical action and addictive of its owner, the "puro" lets himself enjoy. like tea in asia, it is surrounded by a ceremony. first of all, the choice: sizes are different, length and diameter checked by a rigorous examination quality from the workshops of viviana cigars. the names are evocative and have their own story: churchill, londsale, tor****, robusto, toro. the flavors are also varied: woody, spicy, leather, vegetable, earthy, floral.

how to choose your cigar?

a quality cigar has three parts, the filler, which is the heart, a mixture of tobacco, the binder or "hood" that covers the first, and finally the cape, which surrounds the first two. from the latter depends the combustion and the ash provided. it should be smooth and strongly sheathe the cigar. the color must be almost uniform, otherwise it could be poorly rolled. the quality cigars have a mix of tobacco from different countries (cuba, dominican republic, nicaragua, connecticut, indonesia, ecuador, brazil) which provide them with different flavors and robustness. a well made cigar should be consumed slowly and the ash must be firm. for the first cigar, viviana recommends the longer ones; for experienced smokers, our range of large cigars will provide you rich flavors you are used to.

how to smoke your cigar?

having made your choice, use the guillotine cigar cutter to cut the head. cigar in hand, you turn it on with a match. when the glow is beautiful, gently blow on it to bring the coals. it's time to draw the first puffs. it is not necessary to inhale the smoke as do the cigarette smokers, instead it is recommended to make it turn in his palate to enjoy all the flavors. bigger is the cigar, the more slowly it will burn, and more flavors it will offer. like a fine wine, the cigar works throughout its life. it is possible to keep it more than 10 years in a humidifier usually in a humidity close to 70%.

the quality of our cigars is guaranteed by viviana.

the dominican republic is distinguished for years for its quality products. the best companies are based in santiago de los caballeros, in the center of the country. viviana, a native of this city, made her first class in the prestigious arturo fuente house. successively passed to all positions of the house, she became an expert in the art of blending tobacco and ride them together. in 1999, she decided to create her own brand "viviana cigars". her ring represents the national flower of the country, a hibiscus, and is decidedly feminine. in a male dominated world, she brings her sensitivity. working hard and surrounding herself with women just as talented as she is, her cigars are of equal quality to those of her master, arturo fuente, and are appreciated by worldwide customers"

[Parkinsons]

First off and relevant to the forum, I've confined my mongering to picking up women who work at the many beauty parlors on the pedestrian mall who are looking to freelance. They're far from pros and less expensive, I. E. 1000 pesos for massage and whatever else. The lack of professionalism, I. E, naivete, appeals to me lots more than casas or bars. Actually, I met up with a fellow ISG person (I don't know if he wants to be named) who showed me Jaragua and all the sites / casas around it. Great guy. But the area totally turned me off. I thought I was in Las Vegas. Anyway, back to the beauty parlor women. I'm surprised no one's mentioned them. They range up to about 8.

I had little success with the "dating" sites, cupido, tagged and badoo. I did make several appointments but the girls seemed to chicken out at the last minute. But it's fun partaking in these sites and kind of a cultural learning experience. However, the cost (in time and money) and benefit really did not add up.

Beware of Cuban cigars! I bought a box of Cohiba Habanos for my boss for $225. I knew nothing about cigars, but now I'm a little more savvy. I bought them at the tobacco store near the Mercure Hotel on the pedestrian mall, but my guess is the problem is widespread. And that is, they're phony. My idiot boss decided she didn't want them after I bought them and I went to return them. At first, the owner said no and then he agreed to do so for a 1000 peso penalty. I said screw that, figuring I could sell them and get my money back in the USA. In searching for prices on the internet, I stumbled across a cigar forum. There's a dang forum for everything! In turn, I was led to a site to check the serial number and found they were bogus. I went back to the store. I didn't plan on bringing up the phony cigar bit, but decided to bite the bullet and pay the 1000 peso penalty. After all, the cigars are basically worthless. But he changed his mind and said no!

I'm a little torn what to do. I could dispute the charge, but then again, it's not exactly legal buying Cuban cigars. Then again, they weren't Cuban, haha. Also, the tourist police or whatever you call them, are a few blocks away and I can file a complaint. However, I lean against doing that since I don't want to waste precious vacation time and I have to think they are well aware of the problem. What do you think?

Anyway, just 2 more days and then back to reality. I'm thinking Santiago today or tomorrow.

Nice tip about the beauty parlour women. If you could pick them up, your Spanish must not be that bad!

From the Gay Santo Domingo google map: "Hispaniola Spanish Language School, This school has been around for many years and offers great personalized service. I have personally taken classes here. More expensive than other schools, but worth it."

Appears the location is in Zona Colonial.

[Mr Gogo]

i have only seen the policia nacional pull over new, expensive vehicles. taxi drivers have no money, the policia nacional will not waste their time on taxis.

they will not pull over cars with broken headlights, or motorcycles with no lights, or guys driving old cars in the wrong direction on certain roads, or old cars that go through red lights. the policia nacional are not looking for criminals, they are looking for rich people to shake down. the gua gua drivers drive dented and scratched up vehicles because those drivers don't care about the rules of the road, the policia nacional never pull those drivers over.

the policia nacional will pull over guys like me. 50 year old white professionals who have money and are spending money in the dominican republic. somehow in their pea brains they believe that pissing off guys like me will somehow benefit their country.

i have been driving here in the states for over 25 years, i have been stopped twice by police in 25 years of driving here (one time for a broken brake light lamp, which was dismissed when i showed a receipt for a new lamp and one time 22 years ago for a speeding ticket).

compare that to the dominican republic, on my most recent trips in dom rep, i have spent about 20 days in santo domingo. in those 20 days in santo domingo i have been stopped by the policia nacional at least 10 times. i was breaking no laws. every single stop was an attempt by the policia nacional to extract money from me.

my time is valuable and i don't go on vacation to be stopped on some busy dark street and be treated like a piece of shit, by some illiterate 20 year old policia nacional officer who is breaking my balls looking for a donation.

i can tolerate the grime, the filth, the dirt of santo domingo. i can tolerate the chicas who say they will be at some location at a specified time and show up two hours late. i can tolerate the fact that santo domingo is not teeming with beautiful chicas (there are cute chicas there but there are also a lot of dogs). i can tolerate paying 26% in taxes for restaurants and hotels (prices that sometimes compare to new york city). i can tolerate the air pollution, the horrible traffic, the bad roads and the bad drivers.

i cannot tolerate an arm of the dominican government (policia nacional) being given free reign to hunt down tourists like me for the sole purpose of trying to extract money from me.

i have encouraged other mongers to go to santo domingo. i have tried to be helpful. i will no longer recommend santo domingo. if a guy cannot rent a car and drive around santo domingo without being constantly harassed by rude, disrespectful, ignorant, threatening policia nacional, there is no point in going to santo domingo. there is nothing super special about santo domingo that outweighs the miserable conduct of the policia nacional. as i told some of the policia nacional who pulled me over, maybe they will be happy when no tourists visit santo domingo and therefore less money for the dominican government and the dominican people.

Anyone know how much Sky High is now? Not what they ask for, but what they will accept. (I tried to RTFF, but I didn't see a recent response to the price)

Cuban owned, they also own Girls House. The semi-tallish bald headed Cuban manager (maybe owner) guy is not overly friendly (I haven't been there in over a year). I don't know what their current rates are. A little over a year ago the rate was around $100. I'll try to get an update if I stop in that place next week.

[Jaosousa]

No, never will stay there. Jooks is a good dude, so I won't get him in the middle of this. Every newbie please read his report.

Of course according to you the Travel Channel, Anthony Bourdain and the African American woman Debbie (from Debbies Dominican) are like the lunatic Jim Jones who had his followers drink poisoned kool aid and die. Travel Channel, Anthony Bourdain and the African American woman Debbie encourage people to visit different areas of the DR. I do the same and you say I am like Jim Jones. Anthony Bourdain and another personality on the travel channel have described a part of the DR as being perfect (I have not used the word perfect to describe the DR, as you imply).

If a person has a financial interest near Sosua or near Costambar I can understand why that person may encourage people to visit those locations.

I have no financial interests in the DR. I don't care where anyone mongers.

Hotel Palacio is on a side street in zona colonial, I believe you have posted before, take a side street in zona colonial at night and your ass is grass (your words). Seems to me numerous mongers on this site have stayed at the Hotel Palacio and entered that side street at night and absolutely nothing happened to them.

Anyone know how much Sky High is now? Not what they ask for, but what they will accept. (I tried to RTFF, but I didn't see a recent response to the price)

[Mr Gogo]

I know about Apolo (it's been talked about enough here) and have used them, probably not as much as I should. The problem (my probem) is sometimes the wait can be 20 minutes and I don't want to wait. In any event, that problem is solved when I'm taking a taxi from the Palacio. Now all the drivers give me good rates and I have a few cards for them to pick me up from wherever I am, although that puts me in the same position as with Apolo, waiting for a taxi. Sometimes it doesn't matter, sometimes it does.

As for hopping on a metro, nothing beats walking a half a block to the supermarket to indulge my needs and wants. Or a couple of blocks to the "beauty parlor" to look pretty and feel good.) Etc, etc. And personally, and I emphasize PERSONALLY, there's no way I'm getting on a metro in a 3rd world country, particularly where I don't speak the language well. I doubt I'm alone on this, but it's irrelevant.

Even though I've been to the DR a number of times, most of the trips were long ago so I consider myself a newbie. I defer to those more experienced and I appreciate learning from all of you. And as a result, my stay this time has been that much more enjoyable. I pick and choose what info to use. I don't feel compelled to follow every bit of advice. But sometimes, jeez.)

Anyway, thanks to everyone for making this forum what it is. I certainly don't mean for this to be controversial and I hope it's received in the spirit it's given.

Stoopid noobie, jooks

Nothing controversial Mr Jooks, It's your report, and its sad that some people can't accept that. I think you come off honest and sincere.
