[QUOTE=John Jr]Someone asked me about Rockys but i dont know much . Can someone give me the info on this place . Where and hos is it ?[/QUOTE]
Rockys is a bare bones hotel located on Calle Dr Rosen. You need to walk thru the restaurant area to reach your room. The rooms are no more than a bed on four cinder blocks, a small tv and a bath. There is no room safe and no security guard on duty. Rockys is a cheap hotel.

Thanks,
John jr[/QUOTE]Rockys has a restaurant,internet,and is right in the middle of everthing.It also is a mongers hangout,but the rooms are very basic.
[QUOTE=Mr Enternational]I haven't been on this thread in a couple of months because it's been that long since I have been to the DR. I only came today to copy some info for a friend who headed down to Sosua this morning. However, backtracking over the last few pages I could not believe what I was reading:
Yeah. I was impressed by Denzel's demeanor in Malcom X, but it didn't make me think he was THE Malcolm X. And of course, after, I wanted to see more of his movies. Acting.
Is that why you are even considering sending money? 10 out of 10 mongers have said it's a scam. However, the odds being what they are you think you will beat the house and make it only 10 out of 11 mongers who will be scammed.
It's actually not worth a damned thing. I lost once on the blackjack table and after that I was hot on the craps table. Doesn't mean I'm just itching to play craps again or that I will never again look at a blackjack table.
Great assumption Einstein. Because you can bet between now and the 180 days until you return to Sosua maybe 20 Dominicanos and 60 gringoes will have gone through her. Again, I'm not one to tell a grown man how to spend his hard-earned money, but what, pray tell, might be your purpose for sending money to a grown woman/stranger whom you have known all of 24 hours?
Oh you will most definitely be able to see her again. I doubt that she will be taking any African safaris or planned vacations to the Pacific Islands anytime soon. She probably won't even make it over to Santiago, which is only stone's throw away from Sosua. If you want to keep a connection going then do it by good old fashioned telephone or email. But then again, I don't know of anything that can get you connected faster or keep you connected like YOUR MONEY!
Especially the way that you have passed it out in liberal portions. 6000 pesos in less than 24 hours to the same chica? I don't think I have ever spent that much total in the DR on any one trip on anything outside of a place to stay.
And just what kind of culture did you experience in the mongering town of Sosua? How was the art exhibit that was on display from July 2007 - Jan 2008? Did you get down to the new Shakespeare Theatre and see the Dominican rendition of the Tempest? At least you got the local jargon from this year down pat right? (Come to think of it do you even speak Spanish? Does she speak English?--What a connection)
Allow me to supplement with excerpts from past posts from first Bubba Boy, then from myself:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the dude from Houston for sending R5000 per month to my current Brasilian "girlfriend". I thought at first he might be a cool dude with just to much cash, but after banging the said girl while she was actually talking to him on the phone, not once but 3 times, I am thinking maybe just a fool. When are these guys going to learn.
How much do I pay her for a bang? Answer: Nothing. She even stocked my fridge with Red Bull and Softdrink on his debit card. The bill was R62.35, theres a good clue for the guy if he is reading, I still have the receipt in the bottom of the bag.

Like I have said one million times, you have to look at it like it´s a carnival. When you arrive you pay your money to enter, you ride all the rides, you eat the popcorn and cotton candy, then you take your happy ass home until next time. You can not take the rides home with you as some people try to do. You have to leave them there for the next group of people who want to visit the carnival. I would not think of sending Six Flags money every month after I have left, expecting them to section off the ´Scream Machine´ and let no one else ride until I return.
So guys keep the money coming in and I, like Bubba, will continue to enjoy the fruits of your labor.[/QUOTE]
Some of what is written here is amusing, but I don't think it really tells the whole story.
Prostitution is a very precarious existence and while a few girls may earn a lot, most probably don't.
Does anyone here know how much per month it really costs for a chica to live in the DR?
You can rent a decent apartment in a non gringo area for $200 per month including utilities, so I guess you can get a liveable place for half that. Then you need clothes, cosmetics, food, medicines, dentistry, transportation, cell phone cards etc. Retail items typically cost more than in the US, though rent and utilities probably less. And that is not even counting beers.
Just taking a return journey in a public taxi five days a week would cost 1200 pesos per month versus 2000 pesos monthly basic wage for a waitress withoug tips.
Maybe you could get by on $600 per month, though that is assuming that you do not have other family members dependent on you, which is rarely the case. $600 per month would be 18,000 pesos. At 1000 pesos per client you would need 18 clients a month to break even.
I have no idea how many clients per month the AVERAGE chica gets. Maybe somebody has a better take than me on the numbers.
So it is not surprising that many Dominican girls are looking for a novio who will provide a way out of the DR for them. Since DR is the nation that provides the 4th largest number of immigrants to the US, and they also go to many other countries, clearly quite a large number are doing this successfully via the novio route.
If you sponsor a girl and send her money every month, will she cheat you? Probably she will. Having a source of funds may go to her head and she will flash her money around and be overgenerous to all her hangers on and get in over her head. She may resort to borrowing from street moneylenders and loan sharks who are everywhere, then have to invent imaginary illnesses for her novio to pay for so that she can get out of debt.
On the other hand, just to see the girls as rides in an amusement park hardly tells the whole story. Many of these girls have sad personal histories and have had very limited opportunities, but they do sincerely want to better themselves, although they don't necessarily know how and often get pulled back down by the people around them. The man who takes this point of view may himself be putting up psychological defences to avoid being hurt.
I think that if you feel you have special chemistry with a girl, there is no harm giving it a try, though you should be aware that every cent you send her may be money down the drain. The success or failure of a relationship can only be determined over a period of time and many interactions between two individuals.
You need to be able to visit frequently and you will encounter many problems in the relationship, but it could be rewarding. In any case, even if it fails, you will feel that at least you made an effort to improve someone's life.
A last note. If a relationship is to work, there has to be something more than sex. Sexual passion typically lasts six months, maybe longer if you are apart most of the time, so it is dangerous to make a major commitment early in the relationship.
Ok I who is the monger that has been getting pumped by Kenia.
Very skinny girl with short blond hair.
Last time I saw her in a bar some buddies and I were taking pictures.
She ran off so she would not get caught in the background.
I asked her why and she said her gringo boyfriend sends her 1000 usd.
And she would not jepordize him seeing the pic and getting pissed off.
Mind you I had her for 20 bucks tln TWICE last year.
I am going to Sosua for the first time in early-mid January (second trip to DR, was at BB's in November).
Looking for a reasonably priced room/apartment with a good WiFi or in-room internet connection AND close to the action. Any help? Post here or PM me if you prefer.
I have scanned many of the threads but haven't seen what I am looking for (or missed the post). I would be staying 1 week to 10 days (depending on how long I want to stay in POP). I am a veteran of more than a decade of travel to Cuba and have spent a few months in Pattaya. My Spanish is above average.
The New Garden seems to fit your needs quite well.

Perla de Sosua apartments has all of this. Two bedroom apartments for about $50 per night. Three minutes walk from Classico, ditto to beach.
You can write Hans at donhansi at rentavillas dotcom and discuss your needs or ask him for the phone number and talk to him. He speaks fluent English, Spanish, and German.

[QUOTE=OyiboAfrica]As bars have to close early (1:00am Sun. Thurs and 2:00am Fri& Sun) the casino night club has turned into a good meeting point. Nightclub is alright, however Casino sucks as Management does not pay their staff well and just want to maxime their profit. This results in unhappy staff and service, very cheap alcohol, some very interesting "game" rules and senior management pissing off their clients. Nightclub Yes. Casino a very BIG NO.[/QUOTE]Looks below.
God I need to stop posting from my phone.

Any gringo or any PERSON PERIOD sending $1000/monthy or whatever to the hoe's in SOSEWER deserve anything that they get coming to them, whether good or bad.. a Great learning point, but very sad that that person has nobody to console with for advice..

Cheap entertainment. If you are with a chica both you and she can get free drinks while playing at the tables. And if you break even or make a little money, you have a couple of hours diversion for nothing.
[QUOTE=Bee 362]More Domino bar girl Sosua.[/QUOTE]A long time ago I went for a drive with a local guy on the highway from PP to Sosua. There were these "Car Wash" places where you get your car washed while you drink a beer with a pretty girl . Of course you need to know where you are going and speak some Spanish. I wonder if these places still exist.
Anyone stay here got reviews of the place. I need something a little better than a basic room this seems to fit the bill. Can someone capare to New garden. Thanks. Any other hotels would be appriacated must be chica friendly.

And Eltoro after XMAS I will set us both up.
