[QUOTE=NightWhaler;2464412]That local newspaper for information is "Dominican Today" website. I quoted it wrong. They had posted up the outline of their reopening with the posted dates of activities and when they would open. I'll be on the ground this Thursday and will help the local economy move forward. All one needs is the phone and contact numbers. Unless of course it's your first rodeo.
Peace,[/QUOTE]For Reference.

If you are an expat here, yes. If you are a laid back tourist who doesn't require much excitement or entertainment, yes. If you have regulars already and they are available, Yes. If you are good with using social media or venturing out, and don't mind pursuing chicas that route, and have a way to get to them or them getting to you, YES a trip is worth it. If you just like being here in Sosua, Yes it's worth it. If you scuba dive or fish, then yes. If you feel comfortable meeting new people, and arent lost because your boys couldn't make it there too, then Yes.
If you are a tourist looking for consistent 7 - 10's available to you, forget it. If you require club or casino action, a fair choice of bars to go to, and also hoping to run into a bunch of 7- 10's, forget it. If the beach is corny and boring to you, forget it. If not being able to smash a variety of chicas 1 to 3 times a day every day is a problem, then forget it. If you are bored out of your skull because Sosua is operating like a normal small town for it's residents, forget it. If you can't stand Sosua for more than 3-5 days normally when there was no pandemic, then definitely do yourself a favor and forget Sosua. Find somewhere else to go.

Read my mind exactly. For a guy like me, unfortunately it seems like the DR may not be an option this summer. Sucks cause Sosua is a hell of a trip when things are full go. I know a million people have been saying it for months, but travel ain't going to be the same for some time.
[QUOTE=Wrx2005;2464620] Find somewhere else to go.[/QUOTE]Both humorous and true. Hopefully, this reading will insure that the place remains free of clutter, and will keep the contagion at bay.

I had to tell them if we go to the Sue, don't expect nothing to be open like it normally is on a weekend. You have to rely on your contacts. We can also feed off each other contacts.
I had one friend for the no and one friend for the go. I was the deciding factor. I'm still weighing my options. I can do the Sue and knock off some of my favorites. And since I've been told to not expect nothing I can prepare for it and make it something. I know my other friend who wants to go is thinking the same thing.
The biggest problem is the one who wants to stay on the south Coast. He cannot operate without the club and beach 7-10 chicas scenery. He would have a hard time. When I said we were possibly going up north. The first thing he said was let's pay for VIP in Classico.

DR needs tourists money whether AI resort type or mongers. Everybody contribute to the economy. Sosua always had its up and downs recently from a mayor who killed main street to chicas who outpriced themselves. Normal girls used to come to make quick money and will stay with you for a few days. This way they need not rent a room or stay with a friend paying money.
With the new mayor and threat of COVID gone who knows.
Charm of Sosua is quick weekend hop. It all depends on your luck if you meet right girls or not.

IMO, the south coast and Santiago is probably a better option RIGHT NOW. And maybe for the next few weeks. Think about it. Many of the chicks that looked like something, usually came to Sosua from these places. So if guys fly into SDQ or STI, chances are, guys can make hookups with those same chicks from those areas. Through social media, or Whats app contacts. You can bet, many dudes that met decent talent in Sosua kept in touch with these girls. Mi amor, beso beso, me extrano blah blah blah.
Probably sent them WU payments during the pandemic too. (but that's another story). What this means is, these guys can fly into SDQ or STI, closer to where these chicks live, and then the chick can come see them. Like a pretend girl friend / relationship. You know how guys be thinking they got a cool chica? That I believe is the plan a lot of guys will be making once they get back. The guys that never make contacts, never kept numbers, they will be the ones having to be more creative during their vacation.
It makes more sense for the chicas to stay in the south coast and Santiago and let their clients comes to see them, instead of going to Sosua where there are not enough clients yet to provide services for. Plus the cost of the chicas lodging in or near Sosua. A chica from SD or Santiago can go bang a dude in his hotel, and get back home to the husband and boyfriend before grandma finishes cooking dinner or before grandpa wakes up from his nap after playing dominos all day.
When the hotels in Sosua fill, so will the chicas from all over return.

See now I understand perfectly when chicks have said I could not come over to their house because he is footing the bill. Big misconception is that Dominican guys do not take care of their kids, when in fact they are paying for whole houses for their kids to stay in along with the kids' mothers.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2464952]Big misconception is that Dominican guys do not take care of their kids, when in fact they are paying for whole houses for their kids to stay in along with the kids' mothers.[/QUOTE]I am glad you finally understood the class difference, which is as true in the DR (or Thailand or Brasil) as where you grew up. We on this forum interact with the plebs that live from day to day, perhaps even hour to hour. The women that drive the SUVs in Santiago, would not give you (or me) time.
Was hanging with a buddy on Thursday, that got in on Wednesday (American Airlines). Took him to Playero to get provisions. Took him to exchange money. Now normally the best exchange rate is the guy in the rear of the plaza on Alejo Martinez (where Orange / Altice used to be). His rate was 58.10 at 3 ish in the afternoon. I thought he would be higher. Maybe because it was late in the afternoon? My alternative is Caribe Express. We actually went there 1st. They were offering 58.10. About a week or two ago, it was 58.40 at Caribe Express. So I don't know what happened? It's almost like the arrival of tourists caused a drop in the exchange rate. And why not? They know a bunch of tourists are going to be exchanging money as soon as they get to Sosua.
Here's the irony. We stopped by Flip Flop Thursday afternoon, and I see Mapello coming through. He is the mobile exchange guy. Always walking all over the place doing money exchange. His number is 809 491 3024. You can call or text him to come where you are. No Whatsapp. I know crazy right? Everybody uses Whats app. So if you are on the beach and need money exchanged, you can call or text him, and he will come. Just make sure you can identify the spot where you are posted up at. Of course if you are exchanging a lot, even a thousand USD, he will make it his business to get to you.
Anyway, his rate was 58.30 as long as you were exchanging 200 USD or more. So here you got the mobile exchange guy with a better rate than the dude in the plaza or Caribe Express. Wish we caught up with Mapello earlier. BTW that's pronounced "MA PAY YO".
Bumped into Bourbon Street / Ahnvee owner. He said BS is open for dining. No clubbing just yet. Been seeing girls slowly appearing in Sosua. Not sure if they came from afar, or just from Puerto Plata? Plenty of guys have arrived on several flights this week. So Sosua is slowly filling up. It's still going to take some time before a lot of guys are able or willing to come. For enough guys back in the states, it may not be practical to travel if their finances took a major hit during the lock down period. Flip Flop had a small crowd of guys dining and drinking. Chicks here and there walking around. Doable and quite fuckable types.
But you could tell they were hood type chicas. I'm not going to call them street rats. Because that would be too extreme. Lets just say you wouldn't be taking them to Cabarete for a day of fun and eats. And if you did mess with what I saw, you would definitely be locking your stuff down, and not taking your eye off of them. Not for one minute. For the guys that are importing chicas (past hookups or from social media) they can be creative and still get their needs met. Just a reinforcement reminder. Don't allow yourself to be bamboozled by chicas making you feel that their circumstances are so dire, so grim that they need you to pay them above what the job is worth, or them trying to make a dude feel he has to keep hiring them because they are soooo poor.
That way they keep a dude from pursuing variety, or maybe he is taking a break from chicks altogether. It's not our responsibility to make up for their lack of income. Or because they made too many babies. That also goes for local dudes too. Local guys are going to try to play the poor me role on unsuspecting dudes. Try to convince you that they don't know where their next meal is coming from. Meanwhile none of them stepped foot in Sosua the whole time there were no tourists, and we had a curfew.
Now all of a sudden they appear in Sosua and now need your exclusive help? Please don't fall for any of their sob strories and sad faces. It's all manipulation done to perfection. The pandemic made the locals smarter and more creative in how they go about extracting tourists ( or anybody ) from their money/resources. Dont assume the pandemic here is reason for you to part with money given to those who did not earn it. Giving to those that earned is the best policy.
A balanced perspective. Remember many people do not appreciate what is given, especially gifts and benefits which was not earned.
Met a dude earlier this week at a restaurant on PC. Told me he had been talking to a Haitian chica online. Met up with her in PP. Not sure how this got arranged, but the girls mother and brother accompanied the chica to the meet. It was conveyed by the guy to them, that it was only for them to have drinks. The guy agreed to this meet and the chicas family coming because she was young. And he thought it would make her feel more comfortable. He was not doing it because he was trying to start a relationship. But he did think she was a cool chica. So it appeared from his online contact.
To make a long story short. When the waiter came to take orders, a drink date turned into all of them ordering food. See fellas? This is why you have to watch what's going on when you set yourself up like this. More importantly, there is no need to even agree to a date like this involving bringing a mother and a brother. Because you already know that they will bring their appetites and thirsts with them when they come. And they expect you to pay for everything. Not some, everything. And they know that a foreigner is usually not going to say shit when they start taking advantage in front of the chica he is trying to hook up with.
The chica aint going to speak up for him. She isn't going to say to her family. Oh no, we are here just for drinks. The guy is not going to say anything either. Because he doesn't want to look like a jerk. So here's what happens next. Dude realizes the predicament he is in. He decides he's done with the date. Plus the police came by because they saw him dining out in the open. So he decided to take the food to go. The waiter proceeds to prepare the food to go.
The owner tries to get the guy to move to the back of the restaurant to continue dining. But the dude says he is leaving. The owner misinterpreted the guys reason for leaving. So the owner told him nastily to leave, he doesn't need his business. Said he had a bad attitude. The waiter had to explain to the owner that the food was being prepared for take out, he was leaving anyway. But when the owner basically got mad and kicked him out, the guy basically left the food behind. Additionally drinks were drunk, but he ended up not paying for anything.
And guess what? The chica, the mother and the brother lost out on their meal. Worse, is that one of them had ordered a meal to go even before this fiasco. Now that's some balls. Kudos to the dude for getting out of paying for them barracuda advantage takers. However he should have never put him self in that predicament in the 1st place. Having a meeting with the chica and two family members, is a no go. His story is reinforcement for any of us who may let our little heads arrange a fucked up date like that.
I passed by just a few minutes ago. 1845 hrs Friday night July 10. Saw some nice looking chicas up in there. Some tables were chicas sitting by themselves. The chicas got the memo, some decent looking chicas have arrived. Unfortunately, the Politur Police are back in chase mode. At least from the chicas on the street reaction. Chicas running when they saw the pick up truck coming through Pedro Clisante. The chicas sitting up in Kings looked quite relaxed. I'm convinced, chicas here in the DR really value the tourist dollar. I took a couple of photos of Kings from the Dr Rosen street side, but for some reason could not get them to upload here. Oh well.

Based on your report I am very close to booking for early August. I am just scared with numbers rising, the DR Goes back into hibernation / Quarantine / Lockdown.
