Sosua Reports

[Eltayeb]

A smart phone pretty much is the difference between a a barefoot campo chica and a a western union diva.

So, do you think A smartphone girls will provide a better service for us or worst?

[Marc Anthony]

Phones are a "status symbol" to them much like they are in the US to us, but in a different way. They (the chicas) are all poor, but at the same time do not want to be seen as poor. A chica with an iPhone 5 or a Samsung Galaxy wants her friends to see her as someone who gets enough clients to be able to afford one. A success.

A chica with a "cheapie cheapie" phone (in the puta social circle) is seen as someone who does not get much business and therefore is unattractive. May not be the case in reality (maybe she spends her money wisely on tuition and her family) , but it is always looks (perception) that counts the most.

Some hot newbie chicas start off with a cheapie cheapie phone, and once she gets some Sosua fame and a few Western Union novios, moves up to the more expensive smart phones.

Besides being a global status symbol, smart phones are the gateway to worlds of entertaining things these girls are often seeing for the first time. They never had a video game, a camera, a computer, a movie player, an iPod, and the phone does all of these things. A lot of them didn't even have a tv growing up. On the practical side being an advanced western union chica used to mean hanging out in a hot Internet cafe. Now a phone lets you have email, a Facebook presence, and get on Dominican Cupid or any of the dating sites. A smart phone pretty much is the difference between a a barefoot campo chica and a a western union diva. Even without minutes a smartphone can be used at wifi hotspots.

How much a cruise tourist will spends a night vs how much a monger spends a night in Sosua, and how many nights a cruse tourist stays in Sosua vs how many nights a monger stays in Sosua?

The point is, although the cruse tourist spend less, but the money will go to the government, while a monger spend much more and the money will go to the people of Sosua and not the Government.

The result is, better conditions for mongering with different rule of engagements, just like Cuba.

it wasn't as bad as they made it sound but it looks like they might be targeting mongers in an attempt to make it harder to travel to the dr. imagine what video and pictures they found on dave's hard drive.

my question is, if this whole cruise ship thing comes to fruition then where does all the action go to?

in all due respect to cubadave he was making himself obvious. one needs to keep low key about these things. i am sure he was quite helpful to many mongers, and his efforts are appreciated but with a facebook page, videos on youtube, and what not, he will eventually be getting the wrong type of attention (by the look of things, the wrong attention has already finally found him). the newspaper article only makes him more of a target. something tells me that this might not be the end of it for him. frankly, i am quite surprised that it took so long.

as for peter he will be fighting this for years. he is a non dominican, with some money, so this will work to his disadvantage. peter was sticking out like a sore thumb (glass floors, an elevator, lights all about, swimming pool, a menu of services [i had to laugh at this one. i just loved it]). everytime i went to passions i was wondering how peter got all this money and manpower to build up the place (did a great job). it is kinda hard for the authorities to look the other way when it came to passions. like cubadave. we all like these sore thumbs but the government thinks otherwise. with peter, by the look of things, it is not a simple open, close, open situation. i hope it works for the best.

the pimping stuff is tricky. what does that say about blackbeards, or even field of dreams. even if both hotels claim the chicas do not work for them still the fact that the chicas are allowed to ply their trade there, and management will act on behalf of the monger in dealing with misunderstandings, does make it look like pimping.

hey, if i want a chica who likes anal or can deepthroat i just ask the blackbeards staff and they will whip out the book, have a picture of the chica, what she does in bed, and her contact number (i just love it). i go to hand it to blackbeards. many places come and go but blackbeards has so far avoided any major complications.
all this reminds me of the guy who appeared on a talk show host and admitted that when he married it was with an **** girl (it was part of his religious beliefs). he added, at the very end, that if anyone had a problem with it they could come and get him. well, the state authorities came and got him. if i recall correctly he received at least five years in prison (he would have gotten more but his bride testified on his behalf and said that she was not traumatized by him or by the early marriage.!)

guys, with all the attention john gotti was getting, at the very end even the teflon don got velcroed! the moral of the story is not to get velcroed. we cannot do much for how people run their businesses but as mongers we can use discretion and keep a low profile.

Another arrogant gringo that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent under DR laws.

Who do these guys think they are? Carnival should be applauded for providing legit jobs albeit probably at less than ideal wages.

Go DR!

I expected that CubaDave will be stopped by DR Gov and not US Gov. It seems that prostitution is very common between corporations and governments.

[Eltayeb]

Imagine what video and pictures they found on Dave's hard drive.

Now you can have your hard drive in the cloud, upload all your pictures & video to the net then delete them from the hard drive.

Its harder for the gov to get access to your storage space on a server somewhere in Russia or Burkina Faso than to check your laptop.

I am thinking Boca Chica is hoping that with the fall of Sosua, they will rise back to the top. A tout told me that BC was the place until Sosua deflated them!

i was checking cuba dave's sosua fb page and someone referenced this article:

http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/ripti...ines_pushi.php

what specifically caught my eye is that customs officials in miami pulled dave and 6 other guys out of line and confirep001ed their electronic devices. from the article, it sounds like he still doesn't have them back yet. that kind of thing isn't cool, man. i don't want my stuff taken. not that i'm concerned with what they'll find, i just don't want to go without my laptop or cell for a for however long it take them.

has anyone else heard of this happening?

$600 phone but they never have minutes. My phones are whatever I get on my plan for free. The phones I give the girls are the unlocked old ones. My girl now has a older Blackberry I unlocked down here and is now begging for a "big phone". Everyone has one, why can't I have one. Tired of the begging BS. I just tell her no.

I hate these phones anyway, these girls are pasted to these phones. If I'm with a girl and she is always on the phone, I ask to see her phone and shut it off. When I get complaints, I tell them I'm paying for your time, leave the phone off or leave.

When people are trying to learn a language I suggest buying a used first year high school or college textbook from Amazon, buying a big dictionary, buying a copy of 501 verbs along with any audio lessons they can get their hands on / QUOTE]Couldn't agree more with the above regarding the majority of gringos trying to speak Spanish. For those who can afford it, Rosetta stone has worked wonders for me without a lot of books, etc. As it is helpful in reading Spanish, pronunciation, conjugating the verbs, learning what the conjugated verbs sound like, all with pictures, etc.[/QUOTE]Rosetta stone Rosetta stone I think it has a monopoly on learning Spanish. The prospanish on youtube is in helping me except when in comes to the ci- ce words. Ty guys for the help. I will make the adjustment.

Verb conjugation is a whole other animal. I think most monger guys trying to "home learn" these different languages do not understand this because many times I will hear guys using the first person singular present indicative form of the verb for anything and not just for the first person singular present indicative. This will make them sound as such: I am, You am, He / She / It am, We am, You (plural) am. You can see how ridiculous this is by the English example. Well it is the same ridiculous when guys are trying to speak Spanish without proper conjugation of the verb. This is by far what gives students of foreign languages the most trouble. (One easy thing about learning Thai is that verbs don't have to be conjugated.)

I understand your point. These days all the girls know about phones. It is hard to fool them with cheap phones. If it is some brand name with camera it is good. Do not want her saying this phone is not good.

Could not afford "a" phone? Or could not afford "an iPhone"? The cheapest phone I have ever bought in the DR was a small palm-sized Acatel for about 700-800 pesos at the Orange store. Could have been less than that, but I don't remember. All I needed was something that could receive and place calls.

You guys brining them Blackberries and iPhones are just spoiling them. Has nothing to do with her being too poor to afford a phone. The only thing true about that statement is that she cannot afford the iPhone or Blackberry that her amigas got from their gringo bobos, lmao!

It's the same way when dealing with your kids when they "need" new shoes. Do they want the cheap "but one, get one free" pair from Payless? Or the Air Jordan's?

I understand your point. These days all the girls know about phones. It is hard to fool them with cheap phones. If it is some brand name with camera it is good. Do not want her saying this phone is not good.

Especially if you are staying with the girl few days you want to make her happy so that you get good service.
