Santiago

How much did you pay Aloha del Sol / Santiago this trip, single ocupancy I presume? How chica friendly were they? Last time I stayed there I was not too happy about that bit. Speaking of early 2012.

Thanks

I stayed there in late 2012, very chica friendly. Meet a dominican dude that took us around santiago. Brought girls back no problem, dominican dude try to bang his girl in the hallway right on the front stairwell in front of the camera LOL no one said nothing

I paid $86. 00 per night which included a buffet style breakfast. Yes they are Chica friendly the Chica has to sign in at the desk. I ate the last day because I was missing Sosua. Once I arrived I discovered I could have had equally nice hotels for half the cost. It was a good experience the hotel is centrally located and the staff was great!

I would like to disagree with Camaros conclusion that there are a lot of cabanas, therefore there is a lot of P4P. You see most of the Santiago cabanas on the road to the airport outside of the city. You have to remember that most offspring in Latin American countries live with their parents or aunts until they are married so they don't have a place to go to take their significant others; hence the number of motels.

I agree Mr. Enternational that the cabana is part of the Latin American culture because many live together so the cabana provides privacy for those who want to get busy. My comment was based on what some of the chicas told me about leaving the casas that most of the times they went to the cabanas in the area.

but the best definition for practical purposes is to say that the culture of any country consists of those delusional beliefs that the people of that country hold to be self-evident truths that anyone from outside that country can immediately see are false.

Thanks for the good laugh, Frannie. Don't forget subcultures. And I am curious as to your take on American culture.

[Tempoecorto]

The English are one of the most cultured races, (believing, for example that the center of the earth runs through Greenwich, or good manners are inherited via a form of sexual transmission called good breeding, or Elgar is a great composer, or Bird's instant custard sauce powder is custard, or that anybody gives a damn what the panelists on Any Questions think) , though possibly not quite as cultured as the Scots and the Welsh. The English also believe that private schools should be called public schools and that public schools should be called state schools, even though Britain has counties, not states, and that There Will Always Be An England. The Scots also believe this, but want no part of it. The English also believe that the Prince of Wales will be King of England if he ever grows up and they wish the Welsh would do the same.

LOL! I love this forum thanks, not to the discussion of sex or related recriminations against the DR providers, but to the self-deprecating humor of the Brits (or is it quintessentially of the people of England?)! God save the King, Queen and their progeny!

Has anyone found any yet?

Depends on what you mean by culture, as there are many different types, for example agriculture, horticulture, counterculture, but the best definition for practical purposes is to say that the culture of any country consists of those delusional beliefs that the people of that country hold to be self-evident truths that anyone from outside that country can immediately see are false.

By this standard Dominicans also have an incredible culture. For example Dominicans believe that they are naturally superior to Haitians, or that red traffic lights are merely advisory. They have also invented several genres of music and dance, and perfected a more energy-efficient form of Spanish that almost complete dispenses with the letter 's' except in words like Sosua, and makes 'are' and 'l' and 'be' and 'v' completely interchangeable. They have also virtually abolished education altogether and so are able use the word "educada" to mean something close to what the English call "well-bred", I. E something that has nothing to do with education or breeding!

[Mr Enternational]

Exactly Frannie. And remember that P4P in Santiago is damn expensive. I would like to disagree with Camaros conclusion that there are a lot of cabanas, therefore there is a lot of P4P. You see most of the Santiago cabanas on the road to the airport outside of the city. You have to remember that most offspring in Latin American countries live with their parents or aunts until they are married so they don't have a place to go to take their significant others; hence the number of motels. You will see the same in Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and everywhere else.

if you are genuinely interested in .discovering the culture

Has anyone found any yet?

What you showed was that you can HAVE good time anywhere in the Dr if you are willing step out a bit. You opened our eyes to things we had not seen. Great job.

Yes, you can have a good time anywhere in the DR if you are genuinely interested in traveling, discovering the culture, and so on. There are plenty of hotels and restaurants, and public transportation, and you can find sex for pay pretty much anywhere you go in some form or other, mostly in bar and / or brothels.

On the other hand, if you just want to come for a vacation where the main purpose is to have sex with as many attractive freelance chicas as possible, then you really don't need to look beyond Boca Chica, Santo Domingo, and the stretch of the north coast from Cabarete to Puerto Plata. Outside of those areas the pickings are exponentially slimmer. I have been to places like Samana, Palenque, Jimani, San Francisco de Macoris, Sabaneta, etc, but they are of more interest to the generic traveler than the specialist monger. Santiago, certainly, especially if you are there for business, but it isn't exactly a resort.

I wanted to do more but between Monti Cristi and the call to return to Sosua I didn't have enough time.

Thanks Camaro. Your kind of reporting is what this forum is about.

Good job Camero! You're blazin a trail for those of us lookin to break out of sosua mode. Where there any available chicas in the bar attached to Aloha Sol, or the attached casino? I've heard these were good spots.

This is going to sound crazy but I did not go to the bar or casino. I was running so much in that 2 days I didn't check out the venue that was right at my door step. Sorry.
