Obi-Wan and I had a conversation about negative comments that people say in regards to the Sue. This board knows I have my share of gripes. And yet I could be almost anywhere in the world and I chose to be here. My actions speak louder than my words. Sosua is like the wife that you've been complaining about for years yet you haven't divorced.

Showdown.[/QUOTE]Isn't 300 million pesos like 6 million usd. This won't turn sosua into punta cana. Not sure how building a supermarket and 600 parking will attract more foreign tourists.
Even if the nightlife is moved it will still be an easy access or commute compare to any other mongering destination.
We will adapt and girls will adapt.
[QUOTE=Questner;2572336]No, it's 300 million pesos going bye-bye.[/QUOTE].....or hello, depending on from whose perspective you're looking at it.

We will adapt and girls will adapt.[/QUOTE]A little less than $5.3 M US. Enough for some parking lots and improved beach access, maybe a little toward the decades long project of trying to move the clubs and chicas to the far end of Pedro Clisante in a more discrete sort of red light district.
[QUOTE=Oakie;2568668]Are there rip offs in Sosua?
You bet your life there are, like anywhere. But they depend on the rip off artist finding a suitable mark. It always takes two to tango.
Here's a true story from 2 days ago.
I'm chillin at the bar with my beer, with a knockout beauty (photo by request) and this new guy joins the conversation. He says he's got businesses all over the world. UK, France, Australia. Some kind of vintage wine importing. He looks the part, so the chica's ears and eyes light up. He goes on to say that his investors give him $1,000 US and at the end of the year get a return of $65,000. Really?
I started laughing, and asked him, "How much for just a hand job?
Due to language difficulty he and the chica did not get my joke, but I couldn't stop laughing.
I'm laughing now as I write this.
I suspect there are a few poor souls out there that fall for this stuff, and are complaining that they (or more likely "some guy they know") were ripped off.[/QUOTE]Bernie Madoff would have laughed at that one.
Where are people going at night for fun.
[QUOTE=OldKool;2573535]Where are people going at night for fun.[/QUOTE]It was hopping a few nights ago, so this is new, or just a rumor. I'll check it out.
The party goes on in the many small bars around town, Bar Central, old Rumba, Meringue, and a couple more on Pedro.
For guys who like to dance there are bars with bands, and / or DJ's, like Don Andre, Jabili, Cheers.
But I see most players taking the chicas home to party around their hotel or private pools.
Sosua is changing weekly. The old El Flo / Platinum bar has been razed, Apparently there is a clinic going up in its place.
But where there's will, there's always a way. As travel restriction up North are eased, there are quite a few tourists for this usually slow time of year. And they are getting laid.
Life goes on!
[QUOTE=OldKool;2573535]Where are people going at night for fun.[/QUOTE]I didn't hear Ahnvee is closed. I heard it's a new rule that stragglers can't walk up after curfew. If you are already there, you are good. Kings is still a nice spot and the Tree house across the street from Kings is good. Several hotels have private parties also. Baileys is the new daytime hangout for chicks and the dudes be packed in there, sometimes you have to wait on the tables. Mile high is a nice new restaurant on the strip, plus they have a disco that the brothers hangout at.
I've noticed more Haitians than before. Either Sosua has made them hardcore or times have just changed but the Haitian girls didn't seem to be cutting deals and GFE was harder to get than in the past. Before I could always count on the Haitian girls to step up if the Dominican girls weren't acting right.
[QUOTE=JohnClayton;2572342]I wonder what "and the adaptation of the Cabarete beach. " means?[/QUOTE]Maybe they are going to install big wave making machine in Sosua beach to attract surfing tourists like cabarete. Sosua will die a slow death if there is no prostitution. No amount of investment is going to make Sosua regular tourist destination.
[QUOTE=Sammon;2573703]Sosua will die a slow death if there is no prostitution. No amount of investment is going to make Sosua regular tourist destination.[/QUOTE]Well somebody gets it. Unfortunately it's not one of the decision makers.
[QUOTE=MrGogo;2573692]...Haitian girls to step up if the Dominican girls weren't acting right.[/QUOTE]A few girls may get over by fellas now paying American strip club prices to session with girls, but many girls will go hungry by straying off the Dominican standard for sessions. Once the dummies find out they've overpaid, they should become reluctant to overpay after their first mistake, especially when the girls ask papi for leche after 10 minutes. But I did hear that the girls at Ahnvee have a chica union fee of $150-$200 US for short-time. Ahnvee is where the clown wannabe VIP ballers handout to pop bottles.

They have many tells and are easy for the girls to figure out. Only communicating on the translator, telling the girls they are only there for the weekend, and talking in US dollars all give the girls reasons to hold the line. Before guys could get get a girls number and use her as a backup plan for later with a discount. Now a guy exchanges numbers with the girl and she uses you as the backup plan in Sosua.
