Santo Domingo

[QUOTE=Cagep1967; 1133741]You're right and as experienced as we are he keeps asking the question, so I figure give him the details. If his spanish is good enough he can call for a taxi to meet him and would only pay about 1, 000 pesos (don't know if the price has gone up due to gas prices) picking up a cab at the airport is usually always 35-40 bucks.

I have a full compliment of clothes at my apartment so I travel much lighter, so next time I'll try the guagua and post the details. [/QUOTE]I have seen guys in here who have apartments in the DR on average how much does a decent apartment cost in Santo Domingo per month I am just curious? I ran into a guy on my last visit he told me he had an apartment and he was only in the hotel because he was with a different chica and could not take her to his apartment (LOL). I assumed he came there more often than I did because he told me it saved him money and he stayed a few days longer than he would if he booked hotels.

[QUOTE=Cagep1967; 1133740]Is this massage place legit looking on the outside and inside? Are the girls wearing skimpy clothing? Or does it look professional? The reason I'm asking is a Novia wants to get a legit massage, I on the other hand I never get a legit massage, I'm always looking for the extras.

Is this someplace I could get away with taking my girl for her legit massage while I get my business on with another masajista?[/QUOTE]The massage place I know is on calle cervantes between independencia and the next east-west street, which on the google map is alled Calle Casimiro de Moya. On the northwest corner of cervantes and independencia is part of the PLD political party headquarters, it is a large old house with a big lawn.

Walk up calle cervantes from independencia on the left hand side of the street. The building right before the La Cadena Supermarket is the massage place (on cervantes). The entrance is about 10-15 in from the sidewalk. When you walk in there is a desk to your left, then some chairs and the massage rooms are further inside to the right. I saw one or two massage rooms there and they were ok, not dirty, not seedy.

The sign outside says something about about therapy for the spine in Spanish, I forget the exact words. I never received a massage there. I was told a regular massage was about 800 pesos and a happy ending massage was about 1200. I visited the place a few times, usually about 4-5 chicas inside the place, they were ok looking, nothing to crazy about.

I don't think there would be a problem for your amiga to get a normal massage there, while you are in the next room getting relieved.

If you go, let us know how it was.

But look up the post. Mind you its a dominican apartment not in a tourist area, this new place is great I hang out with the landlords almost every weekend. The old ones were not very friendly.

With the amount of times I'm there it is much cheaper than a hotel. My live in Novia takes care of everything!!! If I go running around with another girl I use a cabana.

[QUOTE=BoricuaOnline; 1133452]The key word here is that the happy ending massage place is NEXT to la Despensa. La Despensa is on the corner of Cervantes and Casimiro de Moya so one two business are NEXT to la Despensa. The happy ending massage place is NEXT to la Despensa on Calle Cervantes. They promote the place as a hair restoration place.

About the Pequeno Gigante, as a rookie I felt the same as Flaco Loco and wingman, is this guy offering me help to take me to a casa a theft or is he going to take me to a casa or happy ending place? 99. 9 of the times he is going to help me to get a chica. He gets revenue by receiving a tip for his services and he also receives a revenue from the casa for bringing customers to the casas. [/QUOTE]I will explain in my next post. The massage place is still there and is next to what is now called La Cadena. Fat chicks plus extras but did not partake due to time constraints.

Hello everyone,

I have a question here. Should I bring mosquito sprays? I know this sounds stupid. But, please give me good anwsers. And yes, I will take the taxi. The gua gua sounds like it is a jeep neey thing in the phillippines. It would not work for me.

[/QUOTE]I have never used or were on need of using mosquito sprays in Santo Domingo city but I recommend you to bring one. There is a disease, dengue, that is caused by a mosquito that is very common in the caribbean. Use it if you wear shorts outside, dengue mosquito can bite you on any part of your body but they prefer legs. Good news is that we are in dengue low season so maybe you are not to be in need to use the spray. Hollywood actress Britanny Murphy death was caused by a disease related to a mosquito bite in Puerto Rico. There are 4 types of dengue disease. 1,2. 3 and 4, this last can cause death if not treated properly. Dengue feels like a flu disease but is stronger. Once you suffer one of the types of dengue you get inmunity that type so you do not suffer it again.

Certain types of buses (gua-guas) are good, as for example Expreso Boca Chica. You can travel from the city to Boca Chica beach for less than two dollars on a / see units. Intra city gua guas are the ones to be avoided, no a / see, no doors, people piled up on every seat.

The link is a video that I took during my trip this past summer. I took the gua gua from Puerto Plata to Las Terrenas. It should give you a good idea what your in for in a gua gua.

[QUOTE=Forest; 1133399]I had a similar situation like this 4 years ago. A beautiful young (18) yo girl met me online. We met for beer in the Plaza Colon, and she brought 3 of her friends as the usual sort of protection these girls arrange when they are unsure of the situation. I fed them all beer for a few hours, told them amusing jokes, praised their good looks, etc, thinking this was a set up for my second date. Unfortunately for me, I had to leave the DR later that evening so I made arrangements to return the next month. My new friend assured me we would be wonderful lovers, spending many hours in bed, engaged in "amor rico". I learned from her that she was from a solidly middle class family (her father sold tires) , actually did not want my money (yet) , and had plans to go to the university the following year to study accounting in order to prepare her to take over the family business. This was a different type of girl for me, but her sweet ass and great tits made her a prize worth pursuing.

The night before I was to return to the DR, she told me that everyone in the family would be picking me up at the airport (Mom, Dad, Grandma, three siblings). I would have an opportunity to have beer with her father before diner and talk to him, letting him know what type of guy I was. I would stay for dinner and if I wanted, a room would be made available to me. Until I had heard what she had in store for me, my plans had been to get laid at the massage place on the way from the airport to the Palacio Hotel, drink a substantial amount of Johnny Walker Green Label, call my girl to come over by taxi and then take her out to dinner. Dessert was planned to be an all night sex bender, preferably engaging all three major holes.

I reminded her about the "amor rico" that she had promised me upon my return, and that I was not interested in meeting her family unless I became interested in marriage (I. E, divorcing my wife, paying huge amounts of alimony, becoming a pariah amongst all of my friends for dumping my wife for an 18 year old Dominican, etc). At that point, I would be happy to show her Dad my checkbook, convince the family I was not a potential wife beater, and capable of breeding a small number of Grandchildren.

Her response to this was that she wouldn't ever think of having sex with someone to whom she did not intend to marry. Keep in mind that I had already established she wasn't a virgin, but nevertheless, she was insistent. The second date never occurred.

Last month, I called her up again and we made plans to get together and spend the night together. I was very explicit about my expectations. One hour before our date was to have occurred, I called her about making hotel reservations and she told me I did not need to plan on a room for two, because she could not spend the night. When I angrily said that I had made my plans based on her promise that we would be spending the night together, she told me that no honest Dominican woman would ever sleep with a man on her first date. It took me 15 minutes to find a willing girl to spend the night with me (a salesgirl in Boca Chica whom I have already talked about in a previous post).

Bottom line: the girls that bring mom and dad into the situation do so because they feel that the entire dating scene is about marriage (I have a few other equally painful stories). As I have no intention of ever getting married again, even if my current marriage ends tomorrow, once I hear about meeting a parent, I run from the girl as quickly as possible. Its just a time waster. [/QUOTE]Humorous post, thanks.

pequeno follows behind and i take one hundred pesos from my pocket. i peel off and walk towards pg and hand him the 100 peso bill. i place it in his hand and tell him "no quiero nada mas contigo." he got the hint and the dutchman and i crossed ave 27 and settled our nerves on a presidente grande while we waited for our taxi. i was still pissed about spending this much time on our last day to chase pussy in vein. i calmed down and we headed back towards the jaguar. we both did a preliminary pack and decided to see the sights of the carnaval before our 6:30 flight.

we go through the back lot of the jaragua towards the malecon. there was a definite excitement in the air and a pair of dominicanas walking 10 steps ahead of us. one was markedly better looking then the other. i start chatting up the less good looking one as to not make my intentions so transparent. we talk a bit and gain rapport very quickly. i then ask the good looking one what her name is and we begin small talk. i tell her that she is very beautiful and i was not lying. i ask her if she has a bf and she says yes. i then ask her if she is happy with him. she answers less than enthusiastically. i ask her if i can have her number and meet with her for a cup of coffee the next time i return. she punches her number into my cheap dominican cell phone as we approach the back of the presidente tent. the girls start speaking to the security at the stairs leading up to the tent. the less attractive girl tells us to follow them as she speaks to security. they place the green presidente wristband on our arms and we climb the stairs to the party. as we enter there are beautiful presidente girls handing out shirts, hats, and beads and the atmosphere is electric. i walk another step and workers hand me a cold can of presidente. the dutchman and i don't know how to react, forty minutes ago we were possibly facing being mugged, and now? we drink a beer and the girls settle in close to a small group of dominican guys. the dutchman and i settle in about 20 feet away. i am not sure if one of those guys is her boyfriend and i don't want to make the situation awkward. the dutchman and i can no believe where we are and ask ourselves,"how do we leave?" we somehow weaseled our way into the presidente vip tent complete with live tv broadcast.

A nice, new van pulled up and some airline pilots in uniform and some stewardesses got out of the van. The van had something like Sheila Tours written on the side. I looked online for Sheila Tours but could not find anything.

Sheila Tours might be another option for airport transfers, it their contact info can be found.

I have seen airline personnel staying at the Hilton Embassy Suites in Juan Dolio and I met a UPS or Fedex pilot whose company put him up at the Barcello Capello for one night.

I have another question. I have US passport, Do I need to buy a 10 dollars tourist card when entering DR? And do I need to buy an 20 dollars exit tax when I leave DR?
