Excellent excellent articale by Mr. Long! Thanks. 'The mark': Re; me carrying the $1, 000 USD. I'm not showy, but, well how else will I get the rent (they want cash only) and expense (s) money back to my apt?

You could get anyone of several Pacsafe products but I prefer this one for carry my money at night, passport copy a couple condoms and a couple Viagra. I don't ever carry much in my front pockets and if I have 1000 pesos in my jeans pockets it is in the front one in the smaller pocket stuffed in deep. I used to think most Dominicans were gay till I realized they were staring at my front pants pockets to see what is in there. It goes without saying but you could stuff your money in your pouch before leaving the bank, the one I have is slashproof. I wear it all the time at night and by day most of the time.
I wouldn't worry about it. How many of us have actually been robbed in Sosua? And I'm not talking about some chica stealing your cellphone. I'm talking about being on the street and someone telling you to give it up. Nobody knows what people are walking around with in their pockets until they show it. It could be $10 or it could be $10000. Like you said, get your money and take it home. No reason to be flashing it.
I suppose the only danger is someone watching you draw the money and following you or pointing you out to accomplices. There is less chance of that happening if you draw your money inside the bank, which I guess you would have to do for a large sum.
But I agree, El Batey in the daytime is not particularly dangerous if you go straight home and don't draw attention to yourself.

. I was just making the point, that Chris Long can shorten his presentation, and don't need to rewrite the "Connstitution of Sosua" but let me be the first to state:"Chris Longs guide to Tijuanna" was spot on. It wasn't quite as long, but very informative. Maybe a brief paragraph or two would be, just as effective.
Since you are not the target readership for Chris Long's post, how do you know what a potential first time visitor to Sosua would find most helpful? I thought Chris Long's post was full of information clearly expressed, and not just rambling on to no purpose like some posts I have seen, which you have not seen fit to apply your editorial wisdom to.
I have done sosua 1 time. His extensive, step by step report, is for the first time visitor. Its sosua for dummies, which is what you are your first trip, especially solo. After your first visit, you realize how easy it is to navigate the town.
All mongering destinations should have similar reports on file for us newbies. Keeps the blood pressure down.
Sorry Ath, I quoted you cause I agree. I was wondering How many trips have Chris Long made? I guess I shouldve asked him. LOL! I hope this is not misconstrued, but I was just making the point, that Chris Long can shorten his presentation, and don't need to rewrite the "Connstitution of Sosua" but let me be the first to state:"Chris Longs guide to Tijuanna" was spot on. It wasn't quite as long, but very informative. Maybe a brief paragraph or two would be, just as effecve. In June its going to be my perfect "10th" trips made. I still love to RTFF, to refresh my mongering mind tricks. (YMMV) your mongering may very). Peace The Chocolate Jackhammer.
Excellent excellent articale by Mr. Long! Thanks. 'The mark': Re; me carrying the $1, 000 USD. I'm not showy, but, well how else will I get the rent (they want cash only) and expense (s) money back to my apt? Take smaller amounts over time? Walk in groups. Carry a sword. Walk with a "me bad" swager maybe. Re; Getting the girls into Infinit-blu. Thanks on that. Some good strategies. Minus the car, will they work? Car would be great too, but for many reasons I'll not bother with one. Pot legalization in the DR? It's coming. Just introduced by the Republicans in Santa Domingo. How about for now though? Would love to hear more about safety / strategies in the barrios. I'm hearing mixed reviews. Hey. Are the girls pretty in Sosua? I reviewed CMP and Passions, some you-tube. I see good bodies but very few pretty faces if any.
How many trips have you made to Sosua? Tomjackin Savepro, Mr Enternational, Mr Gogo, Frannie, Charles Pooter, Manizales911, Coolie high, I can list person after person, that's made several on top of several trips to Sosua. Not one of them have ever written a dictionary on Sosua like you have. Don't get me wrong very useful insights, but. How about just giving bullet point presentations. We really don't need an encyclopaedia on every point or subject in Sosua. I think bullet points will cut to the. Chase. Faster and keep new and old mongers attention, rather than this dictionary of delight in Sosua. (YMMV) (Your mongering may very) peace!

Maybe you could add a section about the use of condoms with street rats, and the possible consequences of not using them. Might be interesting to hear your views on that.
Sosua is still a great place to monger. But as some of you who follow my reports know I am crazy about Asian mongering and feel that Asia beats Latin America when it comes to mongering. However, from my experience, and this is just my opinion, I think Sosua is one of the best if not the best monger destinations in Latin America. It has certainly declined from what it was when I first started going but it is still probably the best monger spot you are going to find in the Americas (in my opinion).
I will be back in Sosua next week so I will give you guys an update when I return.
Now if you paid attention to this guide and if you have half a brain, within an hour or less of checking into your room you will be doing this:

Great report Chris. Next time can you film a girl who is a little more enthusiatic? She looks and acts like she would rather be getting root canal! LOL!
I was wondering though whether there is anything small that would cost insignificant amount of money, that I can give to the girls after they provide their services? I appreciate what they do and small acts of generosity can go a long way. Bad idea?
For fucking what? They are not your girlfriend. They are hookers. They run on cash and money like your car runs on gas and a bear runs on honey. Does your boss give you extra gifts along with your paycheck every week?
I can't wait to see who copies that whole damn thing just to say great report.
