Raining 40 days and 40 nights?
The DR has been getting pummeled with a lot of rain this rainy season. I believe we've had consistent rain daily and nightly for over 3 weeks straight (particularly in Sosua) With perhaps 3 or 4 dry mornings and afternoons. But eventually by early evening it rains again. Many folks from around the world are getting reports of severe flooding in many areas throughout the DR. But not everywhere are people experiencing devastating consequences.
The good thing here in Sosua, is, many guys are making the best of all of this damn rain. People have adapted by moving about when the rain stops for a little while. By the time it picks back up again, they might be at their destination already. If not, they wait the rain out and move when the coast is clear.
The rain has definitely had some affect on beach time. Beach goers have gone to the beach, and eventually had to deal with major down pours. Having to seek refuge inside of restaurants and bars. Noticeably the beach has been baron on very cloudy days. Assuming folks do not care to be caught in the rain.
Hung out at Flame Bar last night. Flame Bar used to be called Winners Circle. Before, the bar used to be in the center of the room. This time it is off to the right with stools. Around the perimeter are more stools, and on the left side and rear are some soft lounge couches.
It was a buddies birthday. He originally tried to have his party up in Classicos, but ended up at the Flame Bar. I like it, because it was a cozier atmosphere than I think Classicos would have been. Plus, I don't go to Classicos anyway, so it suit me just fine. Of course where potential clients go, the women will follow. So every now and then, women came by to investigate for themselves.
We all chipped in for food, drink and a cake. The bartenders were very nice, and also were a part of our celebration.
I have to say, Sosua's talent (and I only mean volume and attractiveness) has picked up since earlier this year. There are always new chicas coming to Sosua seeking work. And like many, these are the ones guys like to check out before they become hardcore. I was out Saturday Night for a little while, and Bourbon Street was full with chicas. Went to Merengue Bar, and that place almost had no available seats. It reminded me of 5 years ago, before they put up the windows and doors outside each bar. There were wall to wall chicas. A guy had his pick of available attractive chicas. It was lively, it was jumping.
Normally I prefer tranquility, and I would usually be home with my own company early evening. But that night was really refreshing seeing that Sosua is not losing itself, just re inventing itself. Of course, it should be noted, that just because there are a lot of nice looking chicas, and many are ready and available, that does not mean that all of these chicas will go with a guy if he doesn't meet their financial expectations.
I have talked to quite a few guys and many have claimed they have run into women that have expectations of getting paid 3000 for an hour, 5000 for an hour, up to a couple of hundred dollars for ST or TLN. Even average looking women are coming at guiys like that. Many not budging either. Over a month ago a cute Haitian chica quoted me 6000 for TLN, then switched to 4000. I declined both offers, and now she has an attitude. But she never stops getting clients, and guys have heard her high expectations like I have.
Of course some instances it's just the chicas trying to negotiate high and hoping to settle somewhere next to their expectations. However, a lot of guys do not negotiate. A guy offers her a reasonable price, and the chica gives them some ridiculous high price, they will just walk away. And that's even after the chica immediately comes down. For some guys they figure a chica not getting her original price, may compensate her sense of loss by providing crappy service. For some guys, if a chica only went up 500 pesos from his offer that chica might of had some business. But it also may depend on how she comes at the guy when she addresses it and / or how much the guy wants the girl.
I think Mr E was in town almost 2 months ago? We sat at Bourbon Street ( on the strip ) and I watched him stop and briefly interview several chicas, and almost all of them had some high ass price / expectations. And enough of them wouldn't even budge or negotiate. They just walked off, almost as if they were insulted that he wasn't willing to pay them what they wanted. . I got to see/hear that devilish laugh he's got after they gave him their figure. In fact, that might be more of why they walked off in a huff, than learning what he was willing to pay. Eventually after going through enough of them, he found one that made the cut.
