Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1900448]I just had some Puerto Plata shit fall apart so I am sitting at Field of Dreams now talking to one guy from New Jersey and another from New York. There are 10 girls here. There was a White lady from England behind the bar earlier. Don't know the deal with that. But another bartender told me they have a bikini contest tomorrow at 4. I asked was she going to be in it. She said no. I said well why are you telling me. She said well don't bring your ass here then if you don't want. I think she has it going on with a boyfriend or husband or whatever. A big rock on her hand and she drove in in front of me in a fly Nissan Maxima.

I am leaving now to go look for a room in Sosua. I just hit my regular chick in Puerto Plata and she said she would meet me in Sosua but she can not stay all night. So if anyone else is around and want to meet up then let me know.[/QUOTE]How did the girls look at FOD? The English lady sometimes tends bar and she is usually in the front office working. She does reservations and stuff, name is Anita. The other bartender usually at night is Jenny. She dates on and off Pedro, the guy that runs FOD, hence the car. LOL.

[QUOTE=Lefeu;1900361]It has been my experience almost everywhere and all the time. I always end up regretting haggling with a chick over price, invariably resulting in poor service. I have learned since to just move on to the next chick.[/QUOTE]If a chica quotes me a ridiculous price, I take it as an insult and move on. It suggests to me she think's I'm a fool or a pushover. And you don't want girls in Latin America to think you're a fool / pushover.

Bargaining has to be light-hearted as Frannie suggests. Most experienced mongers have this process down pretty well.

I'm a hard bargainer. Sitting in Cucu bar drinking with my boy. A dude just came up selling a Swatch and 2 pair of sunglasses. They appeared of good quality. I especially liked the round Dior sunglasses because they remind me of the belated Prince. He was the reason that I started playing guitar. So I asked how much. He said how much for what. I said for all that shit. Then I said fuck it. I will give you $23 because I like you. He went to hemmin and hawin (as Pipelayer99 would say). Then I took the money out of my wallet (don't know why this wallet is in my pocket; guess I am getting comfortable being a vet) and put it on the bar. He was like give me $30 and buy me a drink. I said man it smells like you have already had enough to drink. I put the money back up and said fuck it then. I was just buying it because of the glasses. That joker left and came back 30 seconds later. Okay man give me the $23.

I left Bonao this morning and headed to La Vega to see a chick. She was supposed to go to my friend's wedding with me in Bayahibe at the end of April. She didn't end up going because she wanted me to buy new clothes for her to wear there. I said B you ain't the one getting married. You better wear something that you already have.

Funny thing I told my boy to put me down with a plus one because there was no telling who I would show up with. But that was after I had already given him her name. His wife never changed it. At the wedding they had fancy name tags inside of frames at everyone's place at the dinner table. And to top that off when me and my date went to speak to his wife after the ceremony she said oh is this and was saying the other chick's name but I cut her off.

Three weeks ago I shot the chick I was supposed to go with a Hello, because I had not heard from her in a while. I asked if everything was okay and she said no because her house burned down and sent me a picture of the damage. I said oh that is not good.

Today was her daughter's birthday and they were headed to this place called Rancho Avestruz to celebrate. They have a couple of swimming pools and stuff there. She said they would be there from 10 am to 6 pm. I pulled up at 11 and she was not there so I called to see where she was. She was at home. I told her that I would be over there in 10 minutes. Evidently she must have forgotten that she told me the place burned down, because when I pulled up I thought, I guess miracles do happen!

Disclaimer: Last night was Tuesday. If anyone who has been to Sosua in the last month would care to rebuff my report then please step in to do so.

Gogo posted something last week about the politicians saying they will stamp out prostitution in Sosua. Well at this rate they won't have to lift a finger; prostitution in Sosua is going to stamp itself out. I went out to the strip last night at 1am when my Puerto Plata girl left. (And thank god she came, because if it wasn't for her then I would have had a dry dick last night.) It was an about face from when I was last here Superbowl weekend. The place was on life support last night. But what was left there to keep it alive was killing it faster than anything. There were so many hair hat creatures (and they were trying to touch me, ewww) that I thought I was in Dana Dane's Nightmares video.

Usually when someone comes on ISG and says they couldn't find anyone to fuck in a particular location I think they must have been either high or drunk. But this time I am a total believer. I wouldn't fuck 98% of the chicks who were out last night with Old Kool's dick; and I am probably the least picky monger that I know. The sexiest chick that I saw was a Haitian honey with a fade. Besides her there were 2 chicks sitting inside of Merengue that I would have run through. But every last am one of those other chicks had no business even showing up last night.

There were not many people out at all to begin with. I could have literally parked the car in front of either Clasico or Rumba, but instead I parked at the corner of El Flow. I feel sorry for the guys who already have a trip booked. Good luck brothers. I would say there are more tourists out right now in the daytime than there were monger and hookers out. There are plenty of cars parked on the streets now at 11am, whereas last night there were hardly any. I'm about to drive my ass back to the milk and honey land of Santo Domingo. Glad I have a car. I won't even look back at this place in the rearview mirror.

At least that's what most of the hotels / apartments in Sosua call it and base their rates around on their websites.

It picks up Thursday for the weekend crowd. Not surprised the families are out earlier in the week to avoid the big city boys and girls that come for their vices later. American Airlines is now booking Cuba on their website for 299 rt, let's see if this will make the DR adjust the prices in the future to compete.

Thanks for the info guys.

Sosua Sunrise news letter indicated that other hotels were lowering there rates due to low season. Mr E my dick will be very busy soon. On the ground in 2 weeks.

It did seem slower than I had expected, based on my prior research, although I did not have any previous experience in Sosua to which to compare the level of activity. The selection in Sosua was less extensive than I would have hoped (based on my only other Latin American mongering experience in SJO, when I stayed at the Del Rey). The less extensive selection made it harder to find chicas that appealed to me on slower nights (Sunday-Tuesday), but it was sufficient for me on my first Saturday and on the following Wednesday-Friday.

I would add that, aside from the more limited selection, I did find it harder than I had expected to get the attention of the chicas that I liked there, and it was certainly harder than it was at the Del Rey. They often seemed disengaged or more interested in playing with their phones or talking to their wing-women. Perhaps it was so slow that they had just checked out psychologically and lacked the motivation to be more engaged.

Comparing this past week to Superbowl week is like comparing apples and dog shit.

Is it really such a big change over from July 2015, or those DDC videos on youtube from July / August 2013? The women there looked hot. Thinking of booking a trip but the Mr E post made me hesitate.

[QUOTE=Manizales911;1900827]June, July, August and September are the slowest (and hottest) months of the year. Comparing this past week to Superbowl week is like comparing apples and dog shit.[/QUOTE]I have been to Sosua about 30 times in the past 10 years and definitely during each of the months that you have listed, but I have never seen it like it was last night.

And I could care less whether you hard legs show up, but where are the bittches at? Surely they have not left the island as well.

[QUOTE=Lefeu;1900372]...BTW, I have not seen too many posts on the problem of change. My small notes tended to disappear rather quickly, and found myself resorting to Houdini tricks to make sure I always have small change. I would appreciate any advice from fellow mongers on this. I tried to go inside a bank one morning to ask for change, and I ran out quickly. The line was way too long. From a recent post, I also started requesting unusual amounts from the ATM, such as 9,900 instead of 10,000 pesos, for example.[/QUOTE]When it comes to change my pattern is to always exchange dollars for pesos during the daytime so as not to run out of pesos as the night goes on. Also, from my experience, the exchange rate is not as good during the night as in the daytime (since there are fewer places to exchange money as it gets dark. This I found to be true in Sosua and Boca Chica.).

Second, when paying for food in the restaurants I use large bills. As the evening wears on, talking with chicas and drinking a couple of beers in the dark, it is easy to make a mistake with one's money. Since I only deal with small bills in the nighttime if I make an error I will not be cheated out of much money.

I need some water so I jump into a colmado, give them DOP 500 pesos and walk away with the proper, smaller, change. Then there are the hotels you are staying at. You can ask them to break a bill for you.

I hope this helps, Lefeu.

Chicas know mongers come between Thursday and Monday. Unlike other destinations in the world Sosua is a weekend destination for many from east coast of USA.

Unless you have a regular novio or enjoying all inclusive resort nobody stay whole week.

All the pretty girls come only on weekends. They will not make good money other times. Slow season or not weekends are busy all year around in my experience. Only problem is summertime is too hot. Air conditioning in Sosua hotels as well as clubs are not very efficient.

Thanks for the information Sammon.

I went ahead and booked tickets from July 28th to August 2nd. I'm excited as hell -- this is my first real mongering trip, aside from a couple of improvised nights out in Colombia. I'm a dorky white guy in my late 20's, but if anyone wants to party with me then, let me know!

I'll probably be doing Tinder or Tagged to get girls during the day and the clubs / bars at night.
