This question is directed at Ford, but anyone else with info, please help. Ford - you once gave me directions to a massage parlour at hotel hispanola. Do you know of any others in the area? The girls there are all fat and ugly, and are serious hustlers. Would love to try out another place.
Even better - does anyone know of a good massage service (preferably with extras available) that can come to my hotel room?
I will be in SD next week. I stay at the Intercontinental. Is that a close walk to the Colonial Section.
Also, how is the day or night for meeting chicas in that area? I have driven thru there in the daytime in my car service to see, but it seems quiet in the daytime. I wouldn't mind meeting a Chica for a matinee. Any ideas?
Thanks,
J

J[/QUOTE]It is a nice 10 minute walk There are a couple of chica bars right around the corner (make two rights as you walk out the hotel). The casino has a couple of girls. I'm pretty sure you can make plans to take the dealers out after their shift. I never tried, but in retrospect I should have.
Have fun.

[QUOTE=CrazySunny69]correct on the directions but it's more like a 20 minute brisk walk, i suggest to take a cab unless you are on a serious budget because it's too hot in the day and too dangerous at night. the cab should be 150-200 pesos...more or less...[/QUOTE]I live in the Zona Colonial and I do this walk several times a week.
It's a 10 minute walk maximum. I have never had any problems doing this walk at night and have never felt un-safe.
A cab fair in anywhere in the centre of town is a standard rate of 130 pesos even for a 10 or 15 minute cab ride (and this is a 2-3 min cab ride). Of course you have to always have to agree the fair with the cab in advance or they will ask for whatever they think they can get away with.

Has anyone heard of a bar called "Manila"? Possibly it is "Vanilla", but I don't think so. Is it a chica bar or just a regular bar? Any more information on this place? Where is it located? Pricing? Quality of chicas?
Hi guys,
I'm coming to DR in 2 weeks.
I'll be in SD and ot clubs to go to or bar love to me some sexy girls never been to DR any info will help thanks.
Twilod,
Spend an hour reading back about 12 pages of this thread. With all the great contributors to SDQ - I can't believe you'd have many questions.
I just got a call. My friends are in the La Capital for the 1st time. I heard them complaining about the traffic.One in the background said, "this shit is a travesty". They DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH. I could have swore I heard the driver say,Quieres travestis? No problem!". My friend then says to me, "yes man, this traffic is a damn travesty. LOL The only English words I heard from the driver were, "Okay. I will take you later. LOL. Then the call dropped. OMG I am torn beween asking and not asking. I dont think they realize what they unknowingly are asking to see! I know the forum rules. I abide by them.I want to text them the name of the ST.s to avoid for that type of thing and let them know the difference between travesty and travesti. One of them had a hard night in Rio regarding the latter. (Long story. Lets just say my guys are very intelligent but not smart enouh to study the language so that they can ask the right questions.) Without me to translate they may be doomed! Can anyone help out? PM me or post for the benefit of all.

LMAO...They will learn something from this adventure ! Then again it may not be what they want. Guaranteed if they find a good looking b/girl and get them home only to find out their date has an extra part it will a definite learning experience.
Still cant remember the name of the street to avoid but I was finally able to get a text thru to inform them of the difference.
Hey,

Caribe Tours doesn't go to Haiti. There's a con. The fact it is considered the poorest and most dangerous country in the western hemisphere is another. It is a long dangerous road trip to either Cap hatien or PAP from the DR border. PAP is a war zone and there are guerillas and thieves on the road to get there. Good luck.
What is there to see?
Anywhay assuming you are American here's their take:
CRIME: There are no "safe areas" in Haiti. Crime, already a problem, has increased significantly in recent years. The U.S. estimates that up to 8% of the cocaine entering the United States passes through Haiti. The state of law and order has steadily deteriorated as a result. Reports of death threats, murders, drug-related shootouts, kidnappings, armed robberies, break-ins or carjackings occur almost daily. These crimes are primarily Haitian against Haitian, though several foreigners and U.S. citizens have been victimized. In 2005, kidnappings of American citizens increased to forty-three, including three who were killed during kidnapping attempts. Kidnapping remains the most critical security concern; kidnappers frequently target children.
U.S. citizens who must travel to Haiti should exercise extreme caution throughout the country. Travelers should keep valuables well hidden, ensure possessions are not left in parked vehicles, use private transportation, alternate travel routes, and keep doors and windows in homes and vehicles closed and locked. U.S. citizens should avoid all nighttime travel due to poor road conditions and increased criminal activity after dark. They should be alert for suspicious onlookers when entering and exiting banks, as criminals often watch and subsequently attack bank customers. Withdrawals of large amounts of cash should be avoided.
Criminal perpetrators often operate in groups of two to four individuals, and are disposed occasionally to be confrontational and gratuitously violent. Criminals sometimes will seriously injure or kill those who resist their attempts to commit crime. In robberies or home invasions, it is not uncommon for the assailants to beat or shoot the victim in order to limit the victim's ability to resist. If an armed individual demands the surrender of a vehicle or other valuables, the U.S. Embassy recommends compliance without resistance. Visitors to Haiti should exercise caution at all times and review basic personal security procedures frequently.
U.S. citizens in Haiti must be particularly alert when arriving from overseas at the Port-au-Prince airport, as criminals have often targeted arriving passengers for later assaults and robberies. Some recent incidents have resulted in death. The use of public transportation, including "tap-taps" (private transportation used for commercial purposes), is not recommended. Visitors to Haiti should arrange for someone known to them to meet them at the airport.
U.S. citizens should decline all requests to carry items for others to or from Haiti. Traffickers of illegal drugs have duped unsuspecting travelers into helping transport narcotics aboard commercial airlines.
Certain high-crime zones in the Port-au-Prince area should be avoided, including Carrefour, the port road (Boulevard La Saline), urban route Nationale #1, the airport road (Boulevard Toussaint L'Ouverture) and its adjoining connectors to the New ("American") Road via Route Nationale #1 (which should also be avoided). This latter area in particular has been the scene of numerous robberies, carjackings, and murders. Embassy employees are prohibited from remaining in the downtown area after dark or entering Cite Soleil and La Saline and their surrounding environs due to significant criminal activity. Neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince once considered relatively safe, such as the Delmas road area and Petionville, have been the scenes of an increasing number of violent crimes.
Cameras and video cameras should only be used with the permission of the subjects; violent incidents have followed unwelcome photography. Their use should be avoided altogether in high-crime areas.
Holiday periods, especially Christmas and Carnival, often bring a significant increase in criminal activity. Haiti's Carnival season is marked by street celebrations in the days leading up to Ash Wednesday. In recent years, Carnival has been accompanied by civil disturbances, altercations and severe traffic disruptions. People attending Carnival events or simply caught in the resulting celebrations have been injured and killed. Random stabbings during Carnival season are frequent. Roving musical bands called “rah-rahs” operate during the period from New Year's Day through Carnival. Being caught in a rah-rah event may begin as an enjoyable experience, but the potential for injury and the destruction of property is high. A mob mentality can develop unexpectedly leaving people and cars engulfed and at risk. During Carnival, rah-rahs continuously form without warning; some rah-rahs have identified themselves with political entities, lending further potential for violence.
The Haitian police are understaffed, poorly equipped and unable to respond to most calls for assistance. Police complicity, if not involvement, in violent crime in Haiti as well as in the illegal drug trade and kidnapping was regularly alleged under the previous government. The unsatisfactory response and enforcement capabilities of the Haitian national police and the weakness of the judiciary frustrate many victims of crime in Haiti. In the past, U.S. citizens involved in business and property disputes in Haiti have been arrested and detained without charge, and have been released only after intervention at high levels of the Haitian Government.
