Posts: 314Thank you all so much for the orientation.
* Explaining a little "glitch" with the Alicia beach hotel.
* The Boca Chica vs. Sozua comparison.
And now we're talking Brazil, haha.

About that entire CoViD and Bolsonaro and Trump discussion, gents please, don't be pussies! Here is the thing, Bolsonaro is a jerk. Trump was doing some good but ultimately he was too weak and lost so many stand-offs where he needed to be strong and goddam say "YOU ARE FIRED" over and over just like in his show. Trump was spot on to so many things, but he was his own biggest obstacle, not because of Tweets or grabbing pussy talk but because of ultimate weakness and lack of leadership. Just that debacle of Jan. 6, it was his fault for not giving the people enough instructions to use their presence productively and not protect them from infiltration. As for Bolsonaro, he's a jerk and really a political insider. He wants to be Trump but he isn't. He is weak on China. The only good thing was he pushed back on the CoViD Tyranny which the state governors were as keen on unleashing as the several US state governors. And that kept Brazil relatively free. The CoViD mortality is not much worse as in the USA and really any western country. Don't be pussies looking hysterically at these numbers. Compute per capita death and discover that it's not that much difference to USA or France, etc. And we are all coming down from the peak. India is a bit behind on their vaccine production hence there is some shortage to move ahead faster with vaccination in Brazil, but it's only Brazil's socialist shithole condition that prevented them from being more innovative and develop their own. But overall CoViD is on the retreat.
Forget that CoViD shit, in Brazil it's nothing because it doesn't restrict your options and movements.
In Colombia and even DR CoViD is much more of a problem because it actually restricts what you can do!
I love how you say enthusiastic service as characteristic for Brazil. And this is where I am getting at now.
I have second thoughts about DR. Serious doubts in fact.
I went to some Youtube videos of guys walking through and shily direct their camera at women who walk by. But man, what I see from DR and Sozua in particular is turning me off! I don't know if it's real but I don't really find much of any of these women there attractive. They tend to be fat and they walk around with these absolutely awfully disgusting "leggins shorts" for lack of a better word to describe it. I mean WTF! I do not feel turned on by this.
Here's another thing, looking at Photoacompanhante for Brazil or Photoprepagos for Colombia, you just have loads and loads of delightful pictures and though a good number of them are outdated (women posting their own pictures from 5 years ago) or many outright fake, still they give you an overall correct impression, because I do look at the girls standing around at near the cathedral of Sao Paulo and they match more or less and I have seen my small share of real world instances, where, despite almost always some of a let down, there is potential. And same for Colombia.
But when I look at DR pictures I find myself frantically searching for "Venezolana" or something to see something that I would like.
And then it gets worse, this photoprepagos site for DR, chiviricas.com, it is empty! There is nothing there! And that one real deliciously looking Venezolana, I actually contacted this agency, and it is completely NUTS! They ask for 150 to 250 USD for one fucking hour! Imagine that! You end up paying more for these gals in DR than if you spend a relaxed evening in Panama at Habano's taking your pick among a huge number of options and pay 100 for an hour or 150 for two hours unrushed.
So I am afraid I'll be sitting there in DR dreaming of long black hair of a Venezolana who I won't see or if I see her being surrounded by loads of blokes and asking for boatloads of money.
Yeah, I'm heading back to Brazil pretty quick it seems. And can't wait for Colombia quieting down. Or I will just anyway go to Baranquilla for beach.
I also looked at these all inclusive "sex vacation" which are crazy expensive for the hotel part, but hey, you get additional girls for less than 400 for the entire day at attention rather than haggling 250 USD for an hour of "meh" service. So it's something to consider just for the experience if you can afford it. Certainly not going to pay 250 USD for some flake shit from an agency if I can pay that for an all-nighter in Brazil or 250 BRL for a nice 2 hour session with some enthusiasm.
I might still stop in DR for a week, just to confirm my suspicion. But I have my eyes on Venezuela. Can't wait for CoViD lockdowns to finally be a thing of the past.

Posts: 142New COVID Restrictions
https://www.diariolibre.com/actualid...e-HC26605345On
Saturdays and Sundays it will start at 3:00 in the afternoon.
The schedule will be applied according to the level of contagion and the rate of positivity of COVID-19 in the provinces.
As of this Wednesday, June 2 and until the 9th of the same month, a new curfew schedule will begin in the country, according to the Executive Power.
The measure is contained in decree 349-21, which establishes mobility restrictions according to the level of contagion and the rate of positivity of COVID-19 in the demarcations.
In 24 provinces and the National District, the curfew hours will be from Monday to Friday, from 6:00 in the afternoon to 5:00 in the morning, and on weekends, from 3:00 in the afternoon to 5:00 in the morning.
The provinces in which this measure will govern are Azua, Bahoruco, Barahona, Dajabóand, Elías Piña, El Seibo, Hato Mayor, Hermanas Mirabal, Independencia, La Romana, María Trinidad Sánchez, Monsignor Nouel and Montecristi.
Similarly, in Monte Plata, Pedernales, Peravia, San Cristóbal, San José de Ocoa, San Juan, San Pedro de Macorís, Sánchez Ramírez, Santiago Ramírez, Santo Domingo and Valverde.
In all the aforementioned provinces there will be free movement of an additional three hours every day, for people to reach their homes.
On the other hand, a different schedule is established for the curfew in the provinces with the lowest level of contagion and the rate of positivity.
Different hours in seven provinces.
This will be in force from 10:00 at night to 5:00 in the afternoon (ERROR) and on weekends from 9:00 at night to 5:00 in the morning.
This more relaxed schedule will be in the provinces Duarte, Espaillat, La Altagracia, La Vega, Samaná, Santiago and Puerto Plata.
As provided above, in these seven districts there will be a grace of free movement until 12:00 midnight, every day.
My take: Obviously this new curfew plan is a change from a recent proposal to not extend the curfew or impose strict curfew policies. The govt heads must have thought it over and decided to come up with this new curfew. Note, for now this measure is from June 2 until June 9th. After that, there is no telling what the govt may decide.
But as for 7 of the provinces with supposedly the "lowest level of contagion " which includes Puerto Plata province, the same curfew schedule that just ended will be applied during that time frame. When you think about it, technically, tonight May 31st and tomorrow June 1st, there really is no curfew schedule in place for Puerto Plata province.

Anyhow, the question was why not go to Brazil instead of the DR.
Well, I love the DR, and I actually do like Sosua, but mongering in Brazil is better, and the options are innumerable. Those who've been to both countries know it's true.
Having said that, would I go to Brazil on a 4-6 day trip? Would I go to Brazil when all I need is a beach time and occasional mongering? No way, that's where the DR shines. A 3. 5 hour flight from New York. Hard to beat that.Last edited by Xpartan; 06-01-21 at 06:44. Reason: sp.

Brazil is the same as the USA. You walk outside and you don't know about covid. All you see is people with masks on. And when it is party time you don't even see that. For some reason the media kind of leads people to believe that people are falling out in the streets in countries with high numbers. That is what I pictured about the USA before I came back from Thailand. Got here and the only difference was people with masks on and could not eat inside of restaurants. I have been to Brazil 3 times since covid started and I am still in middle age condition, neither sick nor dead.

Posts: 320It used to be the case before the COVID.
Plenty of options in August from NYC to Rio for under $400 both ways, NYC to POP for the same dates would cost about $50 more.

Posts: 3124Braziil has a serious Covid problem
The President of Brazil is a Trump want to be. Has not taken Covid seriously still high rate of infection. The cost to fly to Brazii is double the cost to the DR. The cost of girls varies but Hotels and talent because more then the DR. Chek Rio forum for costs.

Now that I'm done with the commercial (LOL), be careful about PA. Plenty of fakes there. It's just an advertisement site so anyone can post anything, although gems are to be found too.

Boca has chicas, but the downside is it's tiny action strip. You can get bored very quickly there after a day or so. Also the beach leaves a lot to be desired.
As always IMHO.

At photoacompanhantes I see some good-looking chicas at 100 BRL, food and accommodations are much cheaper, and depending on your dates air tickets could also be cheaper. Lots of things to do in Rio or Sao Paulo. So besides a longer flight time, Brazil looks like a better option, why are you not going there?

I'm in Boca chica now after a Sousa run last weekend with two newbies. Boca is a smaller Sousa with less Americans and more Europeans. Currently it's more Haitian girls in Boca chica and less Dominicans. So if you prefer chocolate go to Boca chica. The strip and beach stop serving alcohol at 5 pm but certain spots continue serving but will ask you to use cups and keep the bottles hidden. Frio hot is 53 usd a night with breakfast. Be prepared to say "no" to all the Boca chica street hustlers or your trip will be spent avoiding them as they are aggressive.

And just to ask one more thing, Boca Chica (sounds kind-a delicious, hehe) that's really close to Santo Domingo is that in any way comparable? It seems like prices are a bit lower there, and it's so close to the city that it should be no shortness of chicas. I wonder if there are known downsides? Maybe I should try both and compare. I got some time to kill, and anything in DR and outside of the USA or Panama should like a dream. EDIT: I checked the Boca Chica forum here and learned quickly that the selection there appears to be sub-par. So I will jump directly to Souza I guess.
EDIT some more: wow that Ahnvee Resort, adults only, sounds like just the thing. They should let the chicas in there, don't they? And probably meant for the purpose, no? I like what I see. ... OK, OK, it's super expensive though. Got it.
BTW, I agree that Colombia seems to be a little bit hot-headed right now, plus they are riding the CoViD wave high, while DR appears to be a pleasantly sane outlier when it comes to the CoViD statistics, quite amazing actually.
