You cannot beat Puerto Plata. It is a real (small) city, not a Disnified brothel for tourists like Sosua. I have just changed apartments. I am now paying 8500 pesos per month (no extras apart from 600 to share the owner's internet) and am very happy, but I was just offered a one-bed place near the sea for 4000 pesos. I would have taken it just to save money if not already settled. Too small for me really but might suit you for winter only. Vastly more semi-pro-chicas in Pto Pta than Sosua but you need to live here to tap into them. I have just hooked up with a very sweet haitiana who was offended when I offered to "lend" her money (of course with no expectation or its return). She cooks for us in my new place and is embarrassed that she cannot contribute to the cost of ingredients. She says she will share costs when she gets a job, which will be never as she has no cedula or work permit. Very difficult to find "civilians" like that in Sosua, especially when I could (legally) be her great-grandfather!

Thanks Charles.

Always there for the guys, as usual!

As I was saying, to a fellow monger. If I'm in Sosua (a monger's Paradise) because of the years I've been going there, all the extended family from La Union and Charamicos are working in Sosua and they all know when I'm in town!

Then they bring out the families to show off their new babies (in a normal world at 14 or 15, they and their mothers would be embarrassed, but they are all so fucking proud!) and look for a little help with milk, school, prescriptions, and the rest.

You know the routine.

After seeing these kids since they were five, living with them, even sleeping in the same bed, and are now mothers, it's hard to say no! That's why I hpoe to find somewwhere I can live, without the obligation to take care of them all.

I'll be on a limited budget, so I won't be Santa Clause any more and some of the the mongers here will not be accusing me of "spoiling" their market!

Thanks. Peace and love!

(I'm assumimg Princessa will not be impressed by a retired monger's budget, or my "incredible" personality, or "sexual prowess" .

Lokk forward to buying you a beer, or many beers, next month!

Peace and love!

(Pls PM me if you like. I don't want you to have to take sides in the BS fun we have here. You are generally above that!)

My next trip down there I may stay for the winter.

I'm looking for a place (not Sosua) that may turn into a permanent rear round residence.

I'd be interested to hear of the top 3 or so choice locations that ex pats, or long stay members would recommend for this Canadian!

Emphasis on daily living and maybe safety. (The mongering comes naturally!

Any info appreciated!

I think CP once mentioned there is a pulga there in Puerto Plata.

It is huge. The clothes are piled high and very difficult to sort through. But if you have patience you can find real bargains. I would say much less than a third is used clothes. Most of it is end-lines and very slightly faulty new stuff.

It is a great place to pick up haitianas. Only open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

If you go, take minimum cash you need and carry it in an inside pocket as people are pressing up against you all the time (which can be a good thing too!

[Mr Enternational]

I had a bunch of old clothes and shoes, they were either worn or too small. I used to use Goodwill back home but I am unaware of any organization like that here in Puerto Plata.

I think CP once mentioned there is a pulga there in Puerto Plata. You could take them there and give them away or sell them to them. I would stick with that motorbike guy though. He did a wonder with that one.

This incident made my day. I have a moto-concho I have known since I have been living in Puerto Plata. Over time I've given him small assignments like running my dry cleaning and other errands. I started with small things and he has been consistent and proven he can be trusted. He has become my personal concierge so to speak.

I had a bunch of old clothes and shoes, they were either worn or too small. I used to use Goodwill back home but I am unaware of any organization like that here in Puerto Plata. I put everything in a giant garbage bag and gave it to him. Guess what this guy does? GUESS?

This dude goes to the barrio and gets about 4500 pesos for everything I gave him. He turns my garbage into almost $100.00 . When he told me I was like WTF?. And I couldn't stop smiling.

Dude is a hustler and I cannot knock is hustle!

The pinays are world-class beggars online or onsite with every excuse imaginable. Not all of them, of course, but they are leaders in Scam School. Buyer beware. The Dominicans I've met are amateurs compared to the Filipinas.

I have to disagree with you. I think the pinay's are a hell of a lot worse.

I've never experienced as many girls asking for money over the net as with DR.

Makes me think an obscene amount of naive gringoes are Western Union tricks with no ass yet.

They are right to do this, however inconvenient for mongers, but of course their motivation is not altruistic but to jack up prices and profits and make more work for the medical profession.

However, I imagine it will be at least ten years before it is generally enforced, judging by the requirement for moto-concho drivers to wear helmets.

I agree 100% but I'm not taking any chances and I am keeping a 1 year supply in my war chest at all times, LOL.

Better stock up boys: The Ministry of Public Health has announced that soon prescriptions will be required to purchase sexual stimulants. Public Health Minister, Altagracia Guzmand Marcelino justifies the need to restrict the sale given the present irrational use of sexual stimulants in combination with drugs and energy drinks that has lead to many deaths, especially of young men.

In the Dominican Republic sexual stimulants are sold without prescription.

For years, the Dominican Cardiology Society has warned of the significant increase in heart attacks in persons 14 to 30 years of age.

Andrs Martand, president of the Dominican Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery said that members are seeing an increasing number of stroke victims the result of the consumption of cocaine and sexual stimulants.

Jos Miguel Gmez, a past president of the Dominican Sexology Society, said many years back they had requested the Ministry of Public Health take control of the sexual stimulant sales.

I know a lot of you guys speak Spanish but if you are a gringo like me you need some help in that area. "Dirty Spanish" (Caballero, 2011) is available on amazon for $10. I can't wait to use some of these phrases on the chicas when I am there in December. It seems to me the Latin chicks love it when you talk dirty to them. So I am already practicing on whatsapp and getting some nice photos and video in return. Salud!

The Santo Domingo chicas seem to start out on the high side, but remember, they are testing you to see if you'll bite. As I am sure you have noticed, there are plenty of fish in that sea.

I just booked my flight for my first trip to the DR. I have already joined Dominican Cupid and have a ton of numbers already. I plan on staying 3 nights in Santo Domingo and then taking the Caribe Tomsousa for a few nights and then back. I'm doing research but any tips or pointers you can give would be great.

If the girls from Cupid don't come through where is the guaranteed spot to monger in Santo Domingo for a gringo with limited Spanish. Safety and quality of girls is biggest concern.

On Cupid 1 girl wanted 9000 pesos for a night, told her she is crazy based on what I have read here.

(I searched his prior posts and nothing was said about Pedro Clisante or Santo Domingo, or Boca Chica. He said the red light district in downtown Medellin looked too dangerous for him to pull street hookers.).

As for your point that once someone has experienced other places beyond the DRSosua, that inevitably he will no longer prefer the DR. Well that did not happen to me. In the past 18 months I've been to, and mongered in, Bogota, Lima, Medellin, and Hong Kong. I kept an open mind and really try to appreciate Medellin but I was greatly underwhelmed. (I enjoyed Bogota and I liked the $9 pussy in Lima LOL.) I've been back to the DR twice after my Medellin trip. Now I still have not been to Brazil, Cuba, Thailand, Philippines, and Germany (the FKKs). However, these other places all present additional levels of difficulty and inconvenience to me. I know your contrarian stance is meant to deflate the absolute praise that some people have for Sosua. I'm not so naive to think that there exists a perfect pussy paradise. Nothing is perfect, but for now, DR will still be my destination of choice.

Interesting post, having visited BKK, Cuba Rio, Lima, BOG, MDE, and Sosua, sosua wud near perfect if in addtion it had some of the soapies from BKK and some the casas like MDE with the young Colombiana diamonds from the barrios, but for now I will tuff it out in Sosua for a couple months.
