I'm looking to take Metro bus from Santo Domingo to Sosua.
Can someone please provide the location of the Metro Bus station closest to the Santo Domingo airport (Las Americas) ?
I also need to know what can I expect to pay for taxi from airport to Metro bus station in Santo Domingo?
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1751352]Stay at Casa Cayena. Just email Wilifred. He will tell you that the price is $60/ day, but at the end of your stay he will say that you owe him $120/ day. Nevermind that though because you don't want to have problems so plead him down to $90/ day and everything will be fine. It's just $30 more and he probably needs it more than you because he is one of the many people starving to death down there.[/QUOTE]Pardon me, but what in the world is this? Now you're accusing Wilfried of being a thief?
The Casa Cayena website has the prices posted. When you check in you pay in advance. The price includes breakfast and dinner and the food is good. The rooms are also quite nice. Location, cleanliness and service are all excellent.
While I might understand how you might think this is a funny tie in to the ongoing discussion, messing with someone's livelihood is really not funny at all.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1751376]Duhh. You not only showed but also admitted that you know nothing about Dominicans. You are talking about possibilities and imaginations while I am talking about facts.
It appears that you know even less about hookers. I told her to her face she was worth less than $12? No I told her that the price that she would get in a casa in Medellin, her home town, is $12 and I think the Medellin vets can attest to that. She can charge what she wants, but I'm not going to be fool enough to give her $100 for an hour and would hope other mongers aren't as stupid either.
And sorry dude. There are no Colombian tourists here. The women that are in the club are hooking over in China and Macau and come here to Thailand to reset the clock on their visas. The Colombian guys who come here are no tourists either.

Read for understanding. I gave an example of a time when I paid too much and the girl got word back to her friend to try to get the same from my dad. Yet many people insist that what one person pays does not affect anyone else. If you can get it from one then why not try to get it from all. Where are you getting a 33% discount from? When I mentioned 33% it was in reference toAfter being extorted he paid a 33% increase (the girl was asking for 66% more) to the price that was originally agreed upon in order to make the problem she was making go away.
What the fuck are you talking about man? Big dreams? I didn't say anything in reference to how much a chica should get. And I didn't set any premise about prices going up. My gripe is not about chicas who ASK a certain price at the beginning of negotiations. My gripe is with the chicas that try to extort you for more money afterwards as they did my man Phreeman and as they are doing to mongers around Sosua day in and day out these days.[/QUOTE] There is some evidence there may be a correlation. Are you the wake and bake type? I'm merely trying to understand how you can't seem to keep track of your posts from one day to the next.
Let's start at the beginning with facts. Facts are tricky little bastards, something like the truth. When people are actually telling the truth, or presenting facts, they never have to say "this is a fact" or "this is the truth", because everyone can recognize facts. But when people start throwing the labels around, the little buggers seem to be camera shy.
Are you saying there are no Dominican women in the US? Or are you saying no Dominican women in the US would ever talk to a woman in Sosua? Or is it that no woman in Sosua has any curiosity? Can you staple your fact to one of these, or is there somewhere else that fact belongs?
I'm paraphrasing here, because right now, going back for the exact quote is more work than I'm willing to put in. You said "I laughed in her face and told her there are 100 girls in Medellin I can have for $12". It's that memory loss thing popping up again. This is much different than discussing the going casa rate in Medellin. Considering the going rate where she was is $28, you were indeed saying she was worth less, because you were telling her she's not even worth 1/2 the going rate. You do understand that you can't apply Medellin rates to Pattaya, or are we back to the dementia again?
Nowhere did I mention or insinuate she was a tourist. I didn't fully grasp the nature of your disability before. My reasoning is, if a woman is selling sexual services in a known center for prostitution, and she is originally from another well known center for prostitution, she could very well be a traveling prostitute. Therefore, the possibility exists that she has offered those same services in other countries as well. I believe you understand that the going rate varies with location. This is just spit balling, but just maybe, she had recently come from a place where she was getting $86. Regardless of her rationale for the price, it could have just been her way of saying it would take a helluva lot more money before she'd give you anything, there really is no need to belittle someone. A simple "no thanks" is sufficient.
Here's a helpful hint. When you are replying to one post, and suddenly start throwing out something from another post by a different person, try to throw something in to connect the two. All I could come up with is you had worked the problem wrong with your $28 & $42 example (14 is 33% of 42 and 50% of 28).
The ongoing discussion has been about chicas charging more now than they were charging 10 years ago. It was not about the habits of individual chicas. If your gripe is completely different from the gripe I was responding to, prices going up, why did you quote me? And why did you go on to great length about prices going up, if you have no problem with that?
Seriously, see a physician. This could be a sign of a serious medical condition.
That's why she could ask for more. $86 is probably too much, but on the other hand if someone a bit tired of doing Asians for a week why not?
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1751065]
Case in point: I was in a pickup club in Thailand the night before last and spotted a Colombian chica. Definitely not my first time seeing or talking to one in the discos here. I went over to talk to her. Turns out she was from Medellin. I asked her about her prices. Do you know this chick told me $86 for 1 hour? (To put this in perspective, I gave the girl that I took home $28 for the entire night.) I laughed and told her that she knew good and well that I could get 100 just like her in Medellin for $12. After that, she turned up her nose and gave me the cold shoulder. What would even make her think she could get porterhouse steak prices in a discount meat warehouse? Was she researching on the internet what hookers are getting in England and decided that is how much she should be getting in Thailand? I seriously doubt it. More likely she said to herself let me see if I can find any suckers.

[QUOTE=Tempoecorto;1751334]Appreciated your introspecting considerations and for opening an window to your own life and thinking process.
Given that background of yours, I am wondering how common it was / is in this country, to go (horing) with your closest elders (same question for the Europeans on this board as they were growing up in the European countries)? Legalized brothels were removed from most EU countries by end of WWII while in the US, it is restricted to only a few states. Based on my reading, I understand that in South America (perhaps also in Mexico), it might still be customary for a father to take his son to an initiation ceremony but I wonder if there are class ramifications to such a comportment. As far as I am concerned, growing up in a third world country like India, where prostitution in all its forms abounds but never in the open, my father would have strangled me even for entertaining the idea in our lower middle class upbringing and I have a feeling that my 16 year old son would look at me with disbelief and perhaps disdain for even floating the idea.[/QUOTE]Interesting question:
My ageing son and I are very close, and he knows I spend a lot of time in Sosua. He's heard from different relatives of my "friend" down there because a couple of them have actually met her.
I usually restrict my conversation to the place, the weather, the beaches, the fish, etc. Out of respect for his late mother.
Now, he's a lot like me, and from what I gather we share the same taste in women. But I just couldn't bring myself to take him with me whoring, even though he'd probably be the best wingman possible.
Why is that? I don't know, you tell me.
"Out of respect for his late mother. ".
I assume she has passed on since you say late mother. If you had a girlfriend would you not do her out of respect. It is just sex. My belief is we westerns are repressed sexual. It is all in our heads. Have fun and let him make the decision to chase hookers. Cheers.

I've managed to overcome any traditional "repression" in my personal sex relatiionships, not to mention my routine trips to Sosua. :)
But, I do have a vestige of "respect' for women in general.

Of course I don't know your son's personality, beliefs, etc.
You are a widower (for how long, I don't know) but after a "respectable" interval, you have the rest of your life to live.
You ARE alive, you are a heterosexual male, and its normal you would want female companionship, and hopefully your son would understand this.
If you ever discuss this with him, I would put it like that. "I loved your mother, but she's gone. I'm still alive, I want a woman's company occasionally, etc. ".
You are certainly not being unfaithful to a deceased partner.
It sounds like you are discreet, not relating tales of your latest whoring expedition, which is good.
Not sure I would make these trips "family affairs" as the sex life of one's parents / children is one of those things best left unexplored, in my view.
Several years ago, I was at BB when some guy brought his son (late teens) along and set him up with one of the chicas.
I found that pretty disgusting, personally. Could really screw up the kid's attitude toward women, any future serious relationships, etc.
Also makes his father look like a low-life. I know this sounds hypocritical on this forum, but there are things about our parents best left unknown, in my view.
We are all fallible human beings, not perfect heroes, but flaunting those human flaws in front of our children does damage, in my view.
What image / respect can the son have for his father after that?
Whoring with one's children is not a good idea.
Perhaps, one day, you could introduce him to your "girlfriend" but in the context of a woman you have a "semi-relationship" with.
Not in the context of cruising Sosua for working girls, etc.
For what its worth.
Good luck.

[/QUOTE]You would find Russian (Stan kinds in particular) women in Istanbul, or in Dubai commanding higher prices. Not too long back, in Singapore, white women were rarely found in clubs, forget Thailand which is way down the pecking list there and so you could not see them there. Indeed, white women in Singapore, because of the "rarity" aspect commanded higher price from Asian men. Similarly Nigerian women (and Albanians) were sought after in Italy. So you are right, going rate varies with location.

I believe his exploits because I know a few guys who travel all over the world and some of them have girlfriends in damn near every continent that they visited. The one common denominator was they all worked for the airlines and had jobs where they could work their asses off for a short period, then they had time to travel on a frequent basis. Its was actually easier for these guys to get seats on international flights than it was to secure a 1st class ticket within the states.
The only other guy I ever met who traveled that frequently was a Doctor. His schedule was 7 days on, 7 days off. He would go to Brasil every other weekend for about 3 years straight.

One day me and a cousin, both 16,were taken to lunch in La Coruna by my father and some of his friends. As dessert and coffee was being served and cognac was poured and habanos were lighted one of the men told my father to give us some money to spend in a bordello. My father smiled and let it pass but a while later suggested that we should go to the nearby port to see the ships and let the adults talk. The money he gave us was more than enough and so many years later I still remember vividily that first time experience. Of course my mother never knew. She would have been horrified. To this date, Spain leads the EU in per capita visits to houses of pleasuer, perhaps a sequel to forty years of repression.

The main Metro station is on highway 1 near Ave Luperon, the same highway that goes past SDQ. All info is on their website. Taxi from the airport to the station is the same fixed rate to most places in town. $30? Uber has come to town and there are a lot of posts on trying to get around the tax mafia. If you can get out of the airport you can find cheaper alternatives.
