Santiago

[Onedazz]

I've stayed there since the flights stopped to santiago by continental. It is very chica friendly, but it is a touch and go day to day. For one thing spanish is a must if you wish to go into the enviornment of the locals. They don't know you exist! Women won't speak to you on the street [most]. You'll have to do some "leg"work to find where to go. I know sundays are good at the monument within walking distance. I usually travel alone coming or going and unless I've had company with me It was hard to find a "friend" in a short time.

For me it was sometimes unconfortable to move thru areas with large amounts of people and minimal grasp of the language. The hotel is very accommodating but discretion is the rule.

Anyone stay at the Hotel Colonial in Santiago?

Are they chica friendly and near the acton?

Coming to Santiago in January. I'm having a difficult time finding a hotel in the $50-$60 range. Also, looiing for chicas between 1500-2000. I'm going to be there for 2 nights and on a budget.

Hey guys, I have been to Santo Domingo many times within the last 3 years but I have never been to Santiago before. I am limited in my spanish but seem to do well along the Conde. I am traveling there this December for 28 days and want to give Santiago a try. Question? Is there an area in Santiago similiar to El Conde in Santo Domingo? What is the best side of town to stay? Are the ladies as easy as in SD? Any suggestions? Thanks Lew

If your not sure where to go a good friend of mine can show you around. He actually lives in Santiago and drives a taxi. He could take you anywhere and everywhere you think you'd want to go. His names Freddy, speaks perfect English and is VERY trustworthy. Give him a call. [Telephone Number deleted by Admin]

I will be in the DR for three weeks starting Oct. 14. I hadn't planned to stay in Santiago very long but this thread makes it sound interesting! I need to read a lot more posts and then I'll have a few questions. I hope someone out there can help me.

Negro, your posts have been great. I hope you have not disappeared from this board.

I have a trip planned to DR over the New Years holiday. I'm arriving Santiago the 30th, and plan to stay there for a couple of nights, both to rest up from the long trip from the west coast and to avoid too much travel hassels over the holiday. After that intend to spend several nights in Sosua, before returning on the 7th to USA.

Is the New Year a big deal in DR? Will the pros be on holiday, or will they be working?

I am low key, not a party animal but enjoy a fun time. At 57, although I am in good shape, I don't kid myself about being a player for the young women. So I stick to the P4P action, but do enjoy treating the right woman to a nice encounter (i.e. dinner, dance, etc. if she is in to it). Because my time is limited, does anyone have any suggestions for how to meet women in Santiago that would be available?

I speak okay Espanol, and always try to learn about the places I visit like a tourist in addition to the time spent with the ladies.

This is my first trip to DR, most of my travel has been in SA.

Thanks for any ideas.

Dajabon is 5 to 6 hours away outside of Monte Criste its no mans land for a long borring endless ride bring plenty of beer the only thing you will see is goats which are very tasty.

I will be in Santiago this week for three days, and I need a taxi driver to take me out of town for work. Of course, I am looking for one who is not only honest, but is good at scouting up non-pro talent in the small towns I am likely to pass through on my way to the city of Dajabon.

Please post or PM any names or connections you might have. Any advice on Dajabon would also be appreciated, as there is little posted. Thanks F

I love Santiago and have always set things up in advance with girls I know and have them meet me there. I will say I have yet to meet a Taxi driver that could not set me up or at least point me in the right direction to find what I wanted. Several have asked me and never asked for any kind of a tip etc. I assume that you are trying to do the same thing. If you know some girls that are working or need to make a few extra dollars.....it seems very possible to me that you are....you are doing nothing more than the Taxi driver whom is just offering to help. When I first started to go to the DR I was not just wet behind the ears I was dripping. I meet a veteran...perhaps like yourself...who took me under his wing and helped to show me the way. If that is what you are doing....I say thank you and I may PM you in the future for advice.

Who says you have been exposed to the DR more than me? I do not base my responses on a "few trips". Who says you see a lot more than me. You know whats happening. Sure. Keep believing that. Being misled. We all are. You. Me and everyone else. Does not mean its bad. No. As long as the game is understood. Air jordans. What year are you in? Try IPODS, PC's, PDA, s, cell phones.

A dominican mother would never tell her child anything like that. I never said that. Dominican women take care of all the children. I respect them.

I never said that the girls were not out there doing it and lieing to people.

What I am saying is everyone knows. Everyone knows. Just like like the girls know your a pimp. You get $$. They get $$. Your NOT doing this to help your fellow gringo. Without getting paid. Or either are your "girls".

Unfortunately, you have me confused with someone else. I am not pimping anyone. I know the women need money and I am willing to guide them to where the money is. I have no interest in this personally at all.

Also, since you feel the need to label me as something that I am not, I am not going to help anyone with anything. Go find your own pussy!

Thanks much for your input, it is very appreciated! I booked last night and the rate was $140.00 per night. I tried to get the breakfast vouchers like Tits N Toes suggested, but they said it was some sort of promo they were running, I try for again when I get there.

I know it's expensive but I will look around for something more reasonable for future trips.

Thanks again!

Yes I have. Let me clear something up for you partner. You will never be exposed to the DR the way that i am. I see a lot more of what is going on here than you. I know what I am talking about because I know people from all walks of life here. I know the rich rich to the poor poor and what I am saying is what is happening here.

Now, maybe because you have visited the DR a few times you believe you know what you are talking about but, let me assure you, you are being mislead. Some of these girls are out here doing there thing and lying to people about it.

Please explain to me how a woman looks her child in the tens and tells him that she just sucked ten dicks to buy him the new air jordans?

No, as far as thinking Dominicans are stupid, I never said that. If I believed they were so dumb I am pretty sure I would not be living here. I am sorry that we believe differently but hey, this is life. We can do that.
