Santo Domingo

[Pinga 98]

First trip to DR. I have done my homework. Read the forum. Gotten some questions answered by DCups, through PM. Thank you!

Lined up bunch of chicas using Dominican Cupid. Chatted them for days, including video chats to make sure they are real. Staying in a nice apartment in Santo Domingo, close to Zona Colonial. Time to get someone from my list hopefully for the night. I call Ashley. She turns on the cam on WhatsApp. A good sign that she is real. Cute, slim, young spinner. Exactly the way I like it. She says she can come right away.

"Will you stay overnight?

"No, I need to be back, to take care of a little girl overnight. ".

"How long then?" I ask.

"Until 7:00 pm. For three hours. ".

"Just three hours?" I am disappointed.

"What you want from me?

She seems to hesitate then tells me, "4,000".

I tell her that is too much. I will give you 3,000. But you need to "run" twice.

She lifts her top and flashes her boobs. I lose my mind. There is no bra and those things look attractive. I say, "Fine. Pero sin condon".

She agrees. After some hesitation. Just to be sure, I confirm, twice. She asks my location. "I take Uber. " Soon I find out, girls call any car an Uber.

I agree. I ask that she send me her live location. She does not know how. I ask her to send me her location, once in Uber. Then again when she is half way. Her location is changing. A good sign.

She makes it to my place. In person, she looks cuter than on camera. My heart is racing.

As soon as she is inside, she asks if I want her friend. Friend can stay with me overnight.

I am not in a mood for threesome. Ashley alone looks pretty good deal. She is no rush. Signs into WiFi. Takes her pictures with my phone and her own. She is excited to be inside a big clean apartment with so many mirrors. I can't contain my excitement. I play with her boobs while she surfs the Facebook.

"Cerveza?" I ask her. "Si" she says with unexpected enthusiasm. We finish a biig bottle of Presidente Light. Time to show her the bedroom.

She is OK with everything. Cooperative. Passionate. I don't last for long.

As I finish, she looks down and freaks out. I have flooded her completely.

She runs to the banos screaming words that I can not understand.

Comes out all dressed. Upset that she will get pregnant.

I try to calm her down. I have PlanB pills. Relax.

She gets more agitated. "Give me the money. I go. ".

"Remember our deal? Three hours and you run twice!

"Give me my 4,000. " She demands. I try to calm her down.

"Give me money or I call Police. " She threatens.

I am a bit drunk to really take her threat seriously. She dials 911 and shows me the screen. Her demeaner shows she has done it before. There is a woman who answers the call. A child is crying in the back. This seems to be a strange emergency dispatch center.

Suddenly, I realize her trick. She has saved "911" as a contact name for her friend. And she dials her to show me she is calling 911. Nice rick.

I call her bluff and tell her, now watch me call 911. I pick up my phone to call. She runs into kitchen and picks up a serrated knife. "Give me my money!

This is an escalation to a different level. Shit. I think of lifting the folding chair and using it to overpower her. But my good sense prevails. Few thousand pesos are not worth this trouble. I agree to give her money. She keeps the knife pointed at me and asks me to unlock the door.

This girl seems to be a different beast than the one who arrived just an hour back. I open the front door. Walk her down. There is another lock, that needs key. I tell herI will get the key. She stays down, with knife. I come back to apartment and lock my front door. Time to think. Now I can call the Police. She is between the two locked doors with 4,000 pesos and knife in her hand. But she may have a trace of me still between her legs. What to do? Teach her a lesson?

I am unwilling to create a scene. Even for 4,000 she was a good fuck. Let it go. I go down, open the door. She walks out with my knife.

The driver who had brought her is still waiting down. I get it now. All that rage was a drama. She is pretty good actress.

I ask back the knife. She walks away laughing. The driver is smiling, as if he has seen this unfold before.

I go back to my room. What a way to be introduced to Dominican Republic.

I finish my remaining beer and go back to sleep. Actually, quite happy. And surprised. This little girl has outwitted me in every way. I am no match for her. Lesson learned. Was all this trouble worth it? You be the judge. Take a look at her. Don't forget, this is DR not Colombia. Beauty here has a different definition.

I stand corrected. It was free transit Friday until 9 on the weekends. You are correct E.

Here's the latest, according to:

Listin Diario, July 4, 2021.

The curfew will continue in the country for one more week, until Wednesday, July 7, as ordered tonight by President Luis Abinader.

The decision is contained in decree 401-21, issued by the Executive Power tonight.

"The curfew in the most restricted demarcations is maintained every day from 6:00 pm to 5:00 am, with a grace of free movement until 9:00 pm, with the sole purpose that people can go to their respective residences. This schedule applies to the National District and the provinces of Azua, Bahoruco, Barahona, Dajabóand, Elías Piña, El Seibo, Hato Mayor and Hermanas Mirabal, Independencia, La Romana, María Trinidad Sánchez, Monsignor Nouel, Monte Cristi, Monte Plata, Pedernales, Peravia, San Cristóbal, San José de Ocoa, San Juan, San Pedro de Macorís, Sánchez Ramírez, Santiago Rodríguez, Santo Domingo and Valverde.

In the seven remaining provinces, that is, Duarte, Espaillat, La Altagracia, La Vega, Samaná, Santiago and Puerto Plata, the curfew is maintained from Monday to Friday from 10:00 pm to 5:00 am, and Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 pm to 5:00 am, with a grace of free movement until 12 midnight every day, with the sole purpose that people can go to their respective residences, "he says. The decree issued tonight by the President of the Republic.

My experience is that the Dominican Republic is safer than both Brazil and Colombia but the DR has way more hustlers than those countries. I am generally not a trusting person but I am particularly vigilant in the DR.

Cartagena is quite safe IMHO, but the hustlers are in the league of their own. Much worse than anything I've experienced in the DR or anywhere in the world for that matter.

My girl sent this to me yesterday. 7pm to 5am on weekends. 2 hours of free transit.

I stand corrected. It was free transit Friday until 9 on the weekends. You are correct E.

[Mr Enternational]

So the DR on July 7 will have a national curfew. The curfew will start at 10 o'clock until 5 o'clock in the morning. That's Monday through Friday. 9 pm to 5 o'clock in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays. A few hours of free transit. When the playing field level I prefer the south coast. I'm rearranging my upcoming trip as we speak.

Isn't that something that can happen anywhere? Or is the DR particularly prone to it?

I was in Salvador the Bahia once. Credit card was hacked after being used once to draw cash after arrival at the airport, was robbed and stolen anything except my life and clothes in Pelourinho. Since then, I completely avoid Brazil. But in the end, it can happen anywhere, right?

Pelourinho, in particular, has the most crowded and safe streets in Salvador, but there are also deserted and crumbling streets and alleys with no people in sight even during the daylight. We were walking around in Pelourinho, until we saw a guy who made a no-no finger gesture at us, which was clearly understood, as we were feeling uneasy ourselves. But "completely avoiding Brazil"? That's an overreaction, IMHO. I've been to Rio more than a dozen times with no horror stories to share. Does it mean Rio is safe? No. It means you got to be careful and ready to lose a few bucks (do NOT carry more money on you that you're willing to lose).

He said everyone in the embassy had been robbed atleast once and were encouraged to carry dummy wallets for the bandits.

Yes it can happen anywhere however, in some Countries situations like that are more likely than others.

And evidently it is more likely to happen to some people than others.

How? It is not Brazil. I used to stay at my ex-girlfriend's place in City of God. She had my graduation party for me in Rocinha when I got my masters. Not a d thing has ever happened to me in Brazil. And you got robbed in Pelourinho? You must have been off the beaten path. Maybe that is why they have the sign up that says good luck. You got some bad luck brother.

That's dirty. No wonder most people consider the DR as the hustle capital of the Caribbean!

I still haven't been back there since 2012. Been trying to find a compelling reason to do so, but always end up talking myself out of it and continue heading further south.

Their being of Haitian decent seems to have been an influencing factor.
