Santo Domingo

[SubCmdr]

The most active forum right now on ISG is Medellin Colombia.

I hate to disappoint anyone by pointing out this inconvenient truth. But if you are writing about Colombia in the forum for the Dominican Republic then, well, you know that saying about a duck.

I've spoken about Skokka here. When it comes down to comparisons if you look at the selections available in Santo Domingo you can compare them the Medellin. Two different worlds in my opinion with Santo Domingo being superior in that particular arena. You can find a half different casas advertising on Skokka. There are also casa girls that advertise to increase their personal business and will meet you where they work. Over there they are talking about Skokka like they just discovered it. LOL!

I do not know a thing about book of face. Don't use it. Do not need to use it. Lot of talk about book of face over there.

Tinder works well here in Republica Dominicana. Or at least it works well for me. Others have stated they have had success with Latin Cupid all over the Latin American community.

Early on I asked Where the hos at? One of my current Spanish professors jumped in my shit posting a screen shot of the purpose of the forum. Ok! Information useful for having sex with girls can be very broad. And those who feel the topics not useful should stick the the forums they are contributing to greatly that they feel are more informative. Why feel the need to comment on off topic posts when the posts being put up by the OP are well not completely focused on the subject matter at hand..

I've talked about the face to face approach. Others have said it is no longer possible in the COVID-19 era. Not true. You need to read body language and focus on a girls eyes. You can see a girl smile in her eyes even if she has a mask on. If you are paying attention. But you don't need to read body language, look into a girls eyes and have game if you are just waving pesos around while slipping the condom on your dick the other hand.

Don't have any game or prefer straight play 2 play. Casas, street girls, and personal referrals or all possible.

I asked, do people prefer Spanish lessons or on the ground reports? Pussy is easy to find in the Dominican Republic. Maybe that is why those who post here do not need to talk about doing that specifically in every post like they do in another popular forum. I don't know. But if someone feels that topics are off topic in this forum then don't hate, participate. They should more to correct the problem instead of adding to it.

But when it comes to knowledge. I share it. And I do not know what another person will find useful, informative, entertaining or not. So, I post it up and let those interested read it. The pedantic among us attack my writing. No one has ever successfully challenged factual information that I have posted.

Why? "I talk it like a did cause I lived it by the way" - Young Jezzy.

Can we get more on topic than this? Yes, if every post is focused on pussy. But we all know that will never happen. So some of us will just have to be disappointed while others are happy. But what the fuck do I know? I just live here.

This forum is very active too. Not so much of it is on topic but if it makes guys happy that's the most important I guess.

Tarea (job, task, work) When I say to my chicas: "Estoy in calle haciendo tareas" - I am in the street doing work (errands). It may not be grammatically correct or the proper usage of the word according to our Spanish experts. But strangely enough they understand what I mean. And they do not correct me.I]

I also understand what you mean, in the context of your expression it is easy to understand for us spanish speaking persons. In fact when I talk to friends or relatives I always say " estoy en la calle haciendo cosas" which is a lot more informal than tareas. Dilegencias or gestiones are the formal words.

[SubCmdr]

Yeah yeah, and at the end I understand that it is not the best way to treat consumers, of course.

Have you personally experienced bad customer service during your visits to the Dominican Republic?

I read where all retail stores play loud music. And that it is not noticed because they all do it. Well, once again, not my experience. Depends on where you are. I was up and down Churchill Ave. And did not hear a single retail store playing loud music. So, from a man in the arena, who lives here, boots on the ground I can report not all retail stores do that.

Now, have I been in a location where they do that? Yes! Where? The retail district known as Duarte.

But we can always discuss Spanish vocabulary and grammatical usage if you prefer. Knowledge of Spanish can help you talk to girls. Talking to girls is how you get their panties off. That is a desirable situation (unless you are the type that just like to pull them to the side) when you want to have sex with a girl. And since the forum is about the sharing of information on having sex with girls, all this talk about Spanish is certainly useful. But personally, I prefer to rely on my Spanish professors in my University classes here. And I will let the visitantes (visitors) posting up in here tell me about having sex with girls. They usually have much more knowledge about that than I do. At least according to them.

But what the fuck do I know? I just live here!

In theory yes, but debt obligations are not honored across the board and neither are labor law obligations such as severance payments. Sometimes debts are settled as kidnap ransom. There is quite a lot that happens beyond the beaches and car wash bars. Another example of the raise prices to make up for lost customers mentality is the idea that they can attract retail customers by maintaining jet engine level music volume at the entrances of stores. It's as if there is a belief the buying public finds that irresistible. It would draw attention except everybody does it, so in the end it's just an annoying background of noise pollution.

LOL. Words. Every country uses them differently. I'll take your word for it. Mi tarea.

I have a friend who does not speak English as his first language. I know him because this is his country of origin. He lives here as do I. When we are working together he often speaks to me in English in a way that is not perfectly grammatically. When I feel like he has made a error large enough to be corrected, I correct him. He has asked me to do that. That is why he always talks to me in English as opposed to his native Spanish. I am not like some of the idiots posting up on here. He is a grown man. I do not look at him strangely. I am not correcting him to make a point that he is not knowledgable (professionally trained engineer). I am not correcting him in an attempt to nullify or make fun of his life experiences. I correct him to increase his knowledge. Let me say that again. I correct him to increase his knowledge. And he has asked me to do that. In addition, I often explain how words can be used differently in different situations and how you can say the same thing differently using the same words.

In the case of the word tarea the Spanish professors have continued to insist that there is only one meaning and one use of the word. I have already provide evidence that shows differently. I find it odd. My reading compression skills did not go down in my first language after I learned a second. Seems I am the exception in this case.

When a young child in my life says "moma" and hands me something, I know he means "toma". I repeat the word "toma" so they can learn it property. That is how you teach a child. And please note Spanish is not my first language. I suppose that is what the Spanish professors here are doing. They think I am a child. So they are continuing to repeat the word so that I learn it. I appreciate the care they are showing in their instruction. You can see it in the way that they write to me. Like I said, it has been going on for years. And I see that some of the same individuals are continuing in their efforts to make sure I speak the language as they feel it should be used as linguistic professionals.

I was on Churchill yesterday. Sad new for lovers of steak. Outback has closed. I know someone out there cannot get their blooming onion delivered anymore. LOL! Remember they used to be located in Acropolis Mall. A new Starbucks is under construction in the space. It is looking good. Perfect spot for that initial meet and greet after making the online acquaintance of a girl over on that side of the city.

Man in the arena. Boots on the ground reporting. Or do you prefer linguistic discussions on my misuse of Spanish. Your choice gentlemen! But what the fuck do I know? I just live here!.

To the individual that asks what does he know since I am the one who lives here? My answer would be that he does not know much about living here. But that if he wants to talk about his experiences during his many trips of between 7 and 14 days to fuck girls in Republica Dominicana he knows a whole lot about that! LOL!

[Mr Enternational]

LOL. Words. Every country uses them differently. I'll take your word for it. Mi tarea.

I think he meant diligencias, but he said homework. Maybe he is in high school and has a paper due or something. I understand my 2 year old grandkids mean they want juice when they say duce, but I sure would look at a grown man weird if he said it. But what the fuck do I know? He is the one that lives there!

Funny how after years of living here in Republica Dominicana the self appointed ISG Spanish professors posting up in here are still at it correcting my Spanish that I use everyday compared to their Spanish that they are teaching in their college classes. Only the names of the Professors change.

Tarea (job, task, work) When I say to my chicas: "Estoy in calle haciendo tareas" - I am in the street doing work (errands). It may not be grammatically correct or the proper usage of the word according to our Spanish experts. But strangely enough they understand what I mean. And they do not correct me. Only the pedantic (quisquilloso) types posting up in here seem to do that. But it is all good. Like I said before it has been happening for years. It is the difference between being a keyboard warrior and being a "man in the arena" with boots on the ground in the Dominican Republic.

Now someone tell me how the type of people that go to Mr. Grilled has anything to do with the actual observations that I made about social distancing occurring there? Although I appreciated the information. LOL! Now, tell me about the people that go to Hooters and how it relates to the social distancing that occurs there.

Had a business meeting today. We all wore masks. Even though we all knew each other from previous business meetings. Only lowered them to take our juice and coffee. Then we all replaced them. Practiced social distancing as much as was practicable for the room. No one in the business meeting had a problem with my Spanish either. Once again, the real world verses the online world. Big difference. Si o no? (Forgive the punctuation).

In other news, while I was out in the street doing tareas (work) I checked out a store I have not been before and ran across Three Olives Vodka. Only one on the shelf. Bought it! I had not seen it here in Republica Domincana before.

But what the fuck do I know? I just live here.

As of the last 2 months I have stayed in one apartment for $25 per night, one for $30, and the last for $45 per night. All were very nice and less than 2 minutes walk from the park in the square. I am a tiny bit sad I posted good reviews on the 2 lower priced ones due to they now stay occupied long term. Too good to last.

I stayed in a airbnb in zona colonial and I paid 19 bucks a night. In all things negoitate. Airbnb charges you and the host about 15% as their cut, You can make a Host eat the charge, Or you could stay a few nights and if you like the place cut a side deal, They'll accept a significant cash discount.

Hope this helps.

Trip.

Mr. Grilled is popular among people who live in marginal barrios but want to project an image of prosperity. Check their Instagram feed if you aren't sure what I mean. In "Dominican" (as distinct from Spanish) it's known as "figuereando".

Speaking of Spanish, in both "Dominican" and Spanish "tarea" means homework / school assignment or a measurement unit for small plots of undeveloped land. "Errands" as in "run errands" would be "diligencias" as in "hacer diligencias".

At the end. They must pay the bills. Right?

[Darelax]

Dominican business logic is if there is less demand and less customers, raise prices. Hotels and restaurants also do it.

I was out today doing tareas (errands) and drove by a location on Av. Venezuela, in Santo Domingo este. I add that because there were a few veteran posters who did not know Av. Venezuela was in Santo Domingo este. This was a couple of years ago. I hope they have worked out their geography issues at this point.

Name of the place is Mr. Grilled. Now they are a restaurant, bar, car wash. So you can't eat or drink with a mask on. So it is understandable that no one had one on in the place from what I could see. But there was also absolutely no social distancing.

You will find much better deals for price and space if you expand the horizon beyond the two streets away from the Conde, Parque Independencia, and the cathedral plaza. There is a pretty significant tourist premium on airbnb rates in the inner Colonial Zone. It's not a big deal for stays under one month in length but it adds up quickly for longer term stays.

I saw some good longer term deals too. I was visiting Zona Colonial for less than 4 days during both trips. I already had my main apt in Boca Chica. You hit it on the head. If staying a month or more much better deals just outside of touristy spots.
