Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=DR Monger II]Has anyone stayed at Sosua Bay Grand Casino? What are the rates there? Is it chica friendly? Also, has tourism slowed down since the recession hit? I've been looking at hotel prices and tour prices and they seem the same. Are there still a lot of Haitian girls at Latinos and Classicos? When I went it seemed that 99% of the women were black.[/QUOTE]
Yes tourism has slowed down a lot. Existing hotels may advertise the same prices but are more open to negotiation. Also many have closed, which of course helps the survivors to stay in business.

I am pleased to report that the proportion of haitianas at Latinos and Classicos steadily increases each month. If times are hard in the DR, they are desperate in Haïti. Tragic for them but good for my slim mongering budget.

Depends what you call "black". I would guess not more than 30% of putas are "black" (made up from 25% haitianas and 5% dominicanas). But if you call guys like Obama and Woods "black" then you could up that percentage considerably. (I am going by what the Dominicans call "negra". "Morena" has a less precise meaning).

I don't think anyone would ever say that 99% were black unless they belong to some extreme Aryan racial-purity faction. Perhaps you do?

[QUOTE=TeamHorny]Thanks for the props , I am black american and look hispanic the wife is boricua, with brown hair we are in our forties. We stayed at the New Garden 12/2 to 12/4 we only went to Classico's on 12/3. We hung out in Latinos both nights though.[/QUOTE]
I know we have plenty of blacks in Latinamerica and they're (by birth and culture) Latinos, but how can a black American look Latino? Do you mean a Latino who happens to be black or are you of mixed race?

Like Charles Pooter explained, in Latinamerica President Obama is not considered black. As a matter of fact, long time ago in Cuba he wouldn't be allowed in black social clubs as he would be considered "white". By the way, he wouldn't be allowed in the white ones either for being considered "black". What a dilema, eh? It's like the bat, looks like a mouse but flies like a bird, but it's neither.

Besides Newgarden, which hotels would you guys recommend? What's wrong with Europa, it used to be a hot place in ISG? Casa Valeria? Hotel Don Andres?

Don't book the Europa. I stayed there first trip. A/c did not work. I got sick. Finally demanded a refund and they "Magically "came up with a new room which they said they did not have. Not to mention the little queer who gives you shit for every guest you bring in.

Sea Breeze is cheap 40 bucks but no thrills small safes are not good.

Lots of others but New Garden is better this is why. Free Wi fi in resteraunt and in hotel with plug ins if ness. Even if your are not from there just having coffee. Its 15 dollars more than Sea Breeze with good safes in old rooms, and better ones in New Rooms. Free Breakfast which is worth what? 10 bucks in Sosua? Rooms are spacious in comparison to Sea Breaze with 2 beds in most. View of Pool. The other is alot of people who stay there who travel alot also who if there friendly and your friendly will strike up conversation or share info about anything from Viagra purchases, to your Skype phone. If your a private person the same people respect that and keep to themselves. Also the better looking girls in my opinion hang out there by day.

Is there any update on the missing guy in Sosua? Been reading posts on DR1 but nothing yet on his whereabouts. I love Sosua but things like this make me a little nervous. He sounded like a decent guy and likely not involved in anything shady. My bud saw him at Herman's the day he went missing and said he had received death threats. Hope everything turns out OK for him.

Why did he receive death threats? Did he do something wrong?

[QUOTE=DR Monger II]Why did he receive death threats? Did he do something wrong?[/QUOTE]They just posted his picture on DR1, its under living category. Everyone says he was a helpful guy. His family is headed there to assist the police. He was staying at Rocky's.

[QUOTE=DR Monger II]Why did he receive death threats? Did he do something wrong?[/QUOTE]Canadian article about the missing guy: [url]http://www.thespec.com/News/Local/article/691764[/url]

According to this article the guy had been robbed at gunpoint before. The guy was living in Sosua, at this point in time, no one knows what happened to him.

Things are not looking hopeful at the moment. If your bud really has any such information I hope he has passed it on to those co-ordinating the search. Contact details can be found on DR1 or by calling into Rocky's bar.

D'Arcy is a sobre, honest and serious guy, the last sort one would expect to get into trouble or doing anything wrong. There have been some suggestions that he might have stumbled on something other people were doing wrong and the authorities are looking into this.

His friends and family are sick with worry and I don't think it helps by kicking hearsay and rumors around on this or other boards.

I remember him from the "Palace" days. Thru my trips(13) I recall seeing him in Rocky's at the table near Marco's "lair" in front of a computer. I speculate as to what happened. I wonder where he lived. I thought about the area next to the jewelry store; the one where they haven't built anything yet. It was said he was seen on last on the main drag. Which is this? By the sosua gym or Classicos? Since the phone was used after the fact then that's what it's all about? An Iphone? I think of the times I go alone there, I have a protocol I follow and I sense there is more "underneath" the persona of life in sosua. This is nothing to rationalize about. I'm greatly distressed by his disappearance and pray for him and family as well.

Should one worry about going to Sosua alone? Theres no one out on some streets at night.

[QUOTE=DR Monger II]Should one worry about going to Sosua alone? Theres no one out on some streets at night.[/QUOTE]I think one should always be aware. I always know I'm being watched from the moment I reach sosua. I know people live in those hotels not open for business without la luz, I know there was a guy riding a concho who would steal gold chains off tourist, I know not to go to some of the chicas homes at night in the shadows, I know theres more safey in numbers. I keep shit in the back of my head to minimize surprises. I don't like walkin down towards the Europa at night because of large shadows at some points, but this won't stop me from enjoying myself. When you reach a potential situation, never give anyone a chance to think move on. Remember above all, the tourist season is down so as we come to off season next yearthere will be even less
