That said, there are several streetlamps and the girls stand dressed to the role beneath them after about 7-8 PM nightly. I prefer the access road for safety. If you stop and wave they will come to your passenger window and compete. I prefer a car job but here haven't found a place outside an Aparta Hotel close enough to arrange for service and return. Still working those details.
I've attached a link to a map. The pickup location is almost to the exact spot where the road changes from yellow to orange.

Good hunting.

Posts: 74New Expat in Santiago
American Expat got here about a year ago and still learning the ropes. Looking for other mongers here who can offer insight and share ideas beyond the SWs that hang around the Autopista by PUCMM. The rates are a lot less than those I've seen posted and the girls range from spinner to cuddly. PM preferred.

Posts: 2492The merger
His-tory and History is why most people believed Columbus discovered America. Its true Haiti freed itself from the French on the west side island of Hispaniola; and independent criollo class Dominican allow Haiti to come in there territory it was only political purposes. They felt Haiti had a lot of wealth opportunities and they wanted to get their hand in. When that didn't work because the secret Haiti / French agreement was for Haiti to pay back France 60 million for its dependence. The Dominicans got the Haitian out of there country because having a broke ally didn't benefit them. His-tory calls it DR's Independence War. Read between the lines From Wikipedia:
The Dominican Independence War gave the Dominican Republic autonomy from Haiti on February 27,1844. Before the war, the island of Hispaniola had been united under the Haitian government for a period of 22 years when the newly independent nation was invaded by Haiti in 1822. Previously known as the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo, the criollo class within the country overthrew the Spanish crown in 1821 before unifying with Haiti a year later.
At the time Haiti had been more economically and militarily powerful and had a population 8 to 10 times larger than the former Spanish colony, having been the richest colony in the western hemisphere before the Haitian Revolution. Dominican military officers agreed to merge the newly independent nation with Haiti, as they sought for political stability under the Haitian president Jean-Pierre Boyer, and were attracted to Haiti's perceived wealth and power at the time. However, due to the Haitian government's mismanagement, heavy taxes, military disputes, and an economic crisis the Haitian government became increasingly unpopular, thus the Dominican people decided to forcefully overthrow the Haitian government with no compromises.
After winning the war and ousting the Haitian occupying force from the country, Dominican nationalists fought against a series of attempted Haitian invasions that served to consolidate their independence from 1844 to 1856. Under the command of the "emperor" Faustin Soulouque Haitian soldiers would make incessant attacks to try to gain back control of the territory, but these efforts were to no avail as the Dominicans would go on to decisively win every battle henceforth. Since then, Dominican-Haitian relations have been unstable.
Unification.
After promising his full support to several Dominican frontier governors and securing their allegiance, Boyer ceremoniously entered the country with around 10,000 soldiers in February 1822, encountering little to no opposition. On February 9, 1822, Boyer formally entered the capital city, Santo Domingo after its ephemeral independence, where he was met with enthusiasm and received by andez de seeceres who offered to him the keys of the Palace; Boyer rejected the offer saying: "I have not come into this city as a conqueror but by the will of its inhabitants". The island was thus united from "Cape Tiburon to Cape Samana in possession of one government. ".
I quoted His-tory so you can read between the lines better. From then until this day in DR its about economics. Dominicans are for Dominicans culturally. If you are a African American you are economic useful to the Dominican cultural and welcomed to an extent. If you are African Haitian well you know the deal. This is why when dark Dominicans come to me with that my brother shit I let them know: my passport say American; black people are not my brothers only Americans.

I think it comes down to linguistic, cultural and lifestyle differences. I remember when I went to a prep school in south Texas, mainly white kids, a few blacks, were socializing no problems with kids' whose names were Garcia, Gonzales, Hernandez, etc. Obviously these Mexican kids (first and second generation) were Americanized enough to even play high school football. Years later I see on FB among these folks a few white-Mexican married couples, but at the same time some frequent anti-illegal immigration postings.
Back to black-white skin color schisms in the DR. It's not always clear cut, as in "light-skin folks only talk to their same kinds". Perhaps in the upper echelon of ruling political and business class, but not common folks. Every chica's house I've been to, light skin girls have dark skin family members; dark skin girls have light skin family members. I don't think Santiago is any different from other DR cities.
Also a lot of shit they do seems so racially offensive to us Americans but to Dominicans it's not racist at all. Can you imagine if I walk into my office and say "hey negro / morena how's that project coming along?" Or go to Wal-Mart and say "yo Chinaman / chino give me 5 of those". This however comes natural to Dominicans. I just shook my head when a chica commented "son todos prietos" when we drove by a packed bar. What the hell did that have to do with anything? And she is half dark.

Go to Pasions night club and see how you do there. Tons of white-skinned pros there available. I'd be surprised if you get turned down. But these girls are getting paid 4000 or 5000 pesos by local Dominicans. One member wrote a report few months back he got takeout for less.
I'd say in general don't worry about it. Being African American means you have cultural cool factor working for you. Hip hop, NBA, big anatomy, etc. The white chicas' parents may not want you married into their family but the young chica will go wild for you. The question "how will I do when I'm black / white / Asian in Colombia / DR / Timbuktu" will always be universally answered by the quote above, under the ISG Inc heading.

There are pros and cons to hunting in both locations the issue for the monger is if they are a lion or a tiger.
