Now I'm sitting on the hotel terrace smoking a cigar and drinking a Presidente. Tomorrow morning my Latina shows up! But the La Sirena is directly across the street so we will go look at what 1200 pesos will buy. So SubCommander were you ever on subs?
Strawhat.

I was not StrawHat. My service to my country of origin was in what would be considered civil service. But highly specialized nonetheless.

My user name was taken from two sources. Number one: According to The Making of Star Trek (p. 256), the Romulan rank of sub-commander is fully equal to a Federation Starfleet captain. Number two: In my country of origin I was big into the BDSM world. I am a command and control DOM. Which means that I prefer a submissive that wants to obey my orders without me having to resort to punishment. If a Sub wants pain as her reward, I am skilled at applying that for her. Totally consensual. I was Mr. Grey before it got trendy. But no shades of grey with me brother. LOL! So, in my local circles I was called SubCommander also.

Enjoy your shopping trip. I am interested in reading your report. It will me more interesting to me than a report on the individual sex acts you perform with your Latina hottie. After all that is par for the course in Republica Dominicana.

Even in the 24/7 zones the electric will go out.

It is a crying shame that on a island with solar, wind and wave energy available that the lights ever go off at all.

Most "Torres" in these zones have a planta though. I have modems, computers, routers, switches, cable box, Apple TV etc all hooked up to UPS. When power goes out, I lose lights for maybe a minute or two, but the UPS keeps me online.

For those who do not live in the "nose in the air at a angle they risk drowning in the rain" or those of who do not live in building with full plantas. We get by with inverters, generators and just toughing it out in the dark. My full sin wave inverter had a alarm that let me know the power was out. My refurbished modified sin wave inverter doesn't make a sound but you can hear the sound of the fans running when the power goes out. But, it is a beast! Of course with inverters you need batteries. Batteries need to be maintained and replaced over the years. But it is better than sitting in the dark.

Doesn't make it any more palatable that I have to build a back up system to function day to day not just in emergency situations. One of the things I hate the most about living in Republica Dominicana is the lack of basic infrastructure. I will not comment on why I feel this is. But the phrase: "All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing" applies here.

Just arrived today at the airport, automatic temp scan then the random Covid testing line on the left. I stayed to the right and the person in front and behind me were pulled for the test. I definitely look like a tourist but the two pulled looked Dominican to me. I knew about the random test from this forum which started after my visit last month. I feel fine and would not have traveled if I thought I was sick but the "what if" thought was in the back of my mind.

This is all very good information and thanks for sharing your personal experiences on this board.

1200 is nothing. Its just 22 dollars, barely enough for one day expense for them. I come to the capital on my business and fun trips regularly but now wanting to switch to non pros. Most of them, almost all are only interested in money compensation cause the economy and jobs have tanked so much and the chicas are so desperate now. I have seen video chats of their empty fridge from at least three random chicas. And I know its real cause everything is so messed up during the curfew last few months. Even the cops are looking to target Americans so I hope everyone stays vigilant and avoid trouble if you plan on visiting.

Back to the point, the chicas are getting desperate and agitated for money, they have to buy food, pay rent, do their fuckin hair and nails LOL, but from what I seen they don't budge on compensation requests. They're not interested in small change cause their list is too big. And the biggest problem that I hear from others is the constant pressure for requests for money transfer before the meeting which everyone should avoid and not fall in that trap. And like you said, there are others that just want to dine and wine and just be seen out there with foreigners, but either way you pay for it somehow. A lot of pussy here but it ain't going for free for sure. I'll be returning next week in the capital for three weeks this time and will provide another update soon after. My greatest disadvantage is I barely speak few sentences in Spanish and not enough to engage in conversations.

Dominican business logic is if there is less demand and less customers, raise prices. Hotels and restaurants also do it.

It has not always been like that. Utilities were public before privatization. In the past, outages were a pain, services goes out several times a day in all the city. Now that it is private outages are zoned. People in zone A gets electricpower 24 hours a day, people where most people do not pay their bills gets 2-4 hours per day. She had a 2 yr. Old so she has the milk all the time in the freezer to keep it cold. Dominican Republic is in many ways similar to my country.

Even in the 24/7 zones the electric will go out. Often when Edesur owes the power generators. Most "Torres" in these zones have a planta though. I have modems, computers, routers, switches, cable box, Apple TV etc all hooked up to UPS. When power goes out, I lose lights for maybe a minute or two, but the UPS keeps me online. Sort of miss the old days when if power went out we would go to a bar with a generator!

It is a cultural thing, very common in latin countries. In Puerto Rico (my country) it is customary to offer food and or drinks to visits all the time.

I have been to all 50 states and at least two countries in every continent and have never not been offered at least a water when entering a person's home.

I missed the signifigence of length of time it took you to get into the panties of a girl and the quality of the girl.

Nothing allows for anyone to vouch for what a girl is doing when she is not with you. Unless you are going to put a body camera on her that she can't remove or turn off and a GPS tracker on her ankle. No one owns the pussy but her. It is always your turn. Never your pussy. LOL!

What the fuck do I know gentlemen? I only live here!

I agree.

I really do not care what my chicas do when I am not in the Dominican Republic. I just want them to be very pretty, very willing to have sex whenever and however I like it, free of disease and to give me the type of GF experience that suits my fantasy. I give them money but never negotiate on price (in fact, 99% of the time, I don't even talk about payment). If a hardcore pro behaves like a naïve non-pro and fools me, I am happy in my ignorance.

I have waited for a girl to sleep with me on the second and rarely, the third date, but after that I move on. Two years to get into her panties? This must have been love. Most of us operate on lust.

On another note, when I asked you about what one can buy for 1200 pesos, it was not a rhetorical question. I am truly curious.

When I talk to chicks and ask them what they had for dinner, it is usually along the lines of rice, beans, and eggs. Meat is never really mentioned. I think 1200 pesos could actually buy a large supply of rice, beans, and eggs.

In the USA And Europe it is a sign of very poor breeding to fail to offer food or drink to someone who visits your home. Please don't anyone be offended. Pero si te sirve el sombrero.

In Republica Dominicana you have to be so down and out. Have no friends or family. You have to be a complete social outcast in order to not have someone not offer you food.
In fact, on my first trip to the Dominican Republic over ten years ago I was partying at a colmado. One of the regular party girls bought a sandwich and insisted that she share half with me. I knew it might be the first or last thing she ate for the day. So after we finished the sandwich, I instead that I was still hungry. I went in and bought the same type of sandwich she did. I came back out of the colmado and insisted that she share my sandwich.

...I just live here. Been grocery shopping lately? LOL!

Enjoyed reading the post and liked your sense of belonging to the place and your speaking well of the people around, men and women. On another note, when I asked you about what one can buy for 1200 pesos, it was not a rhetorical question. I am truly curious.

People in zone A gets electricpower 24 hours a day, people where most people do not pay their bills gets 2-4 hours per day.

I was not aware of this. Essentially, it appears that power outages are not a result of low volume power generation but that of planned delivery, based on ability to pay. Interesting!

[BoricuaOnline]

It makes no sense to own a refrigerator if you only have electric power for just a few hours a day. Why bother?]

It has not always been like that. Utilities were public before privatization. In the past, outages were a pain, services goes out several times a day in all the city. Now that it is private outages are zoned. People in zone A gets electricpower 24 hours a day, people where most people do not pay their bills gets 2-4 hours per day. She had a 2 yr.

I agree with that. It might not be a steak dinner, but they will offer you something. Soup, oatmeal, fruits, etc.

[Mr Enternational]

You have to be a complete social outcast in order to not have someone not offer you food. I have been in the homes of people that live in some very economically disadvantaged barrios. And not once has the person in charge of the home fail offer me something to eat or drink. Not once!

I agree with that. It might not be a steak dinner, but they will offer you something. Soup, oatmeal, fruits, etc. I usually turn it down when I see the roaches and rats running around though.
