Have a great trip Explorer8939!
[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2971543]I bought my ticket for Santo Domingo, and will bus it up to Sosua after a night's rest in SD.
My plan is 10 days in Sosua, with a flight out of Puerto Plata (POP) to go back to the US for a few days. I am hoping that I won't get bored in Sosua, since everyone says it's very small. At least I will be able to practice my Spanish.[/QUOTE]You Spanish speaking skills will serve you well despite what the local sexpat expert on the Open Air Brothel know as Sosua has to say about that particular issue.
It is very different from Pattaya, Thailand. But if you take it for what it has the offer I am sure you will have a very enjoyable experience. Besides your are only 2 minutes away from Puerto Plata and 2 hours from Santiago if you need a change of Scenery.
If you don't like the offerings on the street. Tinder and Dominican Cupid can be your friend. I am almost certain there are more social media apps popular with the chicas than I know. I am old school.
Make sure you check out the casino. Go late 0000 - 0400 Friday and Saturday night is off the chain.
Any Guestimate on the Total Cost to Re-open
[QUOTE=Oakie;2973424]I Remember the old Sweat Box well. Cheap perfume and body odor. Guys used to post up in the downstairs bar, and grab the chicas before they paid the cover to go upstairs.
People packed in like sardines. A real fire trap. See'Mon. Sweetie, lets get out of here. She, "I'm dancing as fast as I can!" LOL.[/QUOTE]Man I would love for that upstairs to open just one time. I believe 95 percent of all the OG's on here have a great fond memory of pulling a fine honey out of Classicos. Sometimes I honestly wonder what would be the total cost (including greasing the palms to the powers that be) for that venue to re-open again.
Such a great venue, location with fond memories from so MANY expats for it to still be sitting there rotting away.
