Any chance you might get outside of Gazcue at all?
i think most of the guys here could benefit from information about something besides the jaguar hotel and its 1/8 square mile perimeter. it's been covered to death and now that you confirmed it hasn't changed very much, maybe it's time to move on to at least gbp. some guys have problems finding it so you can help with some tips about how to get there and what happens after you arrive.
maybe i'm being too harsh. maybe it's big news there are street girls on independencia but i think there always have been.
[quote=victoryrecords; 1150622]alright, so i'm in gazcue right now. flight came in this morning (3am). as my travel announcement post said, i had a feeling things might suck a little since the closings, so if anybody is up for a beer, let me know.
also, if there are any places you guys want me to report about, let me know and i'll check it out. i'll start out with a couple of hearsay and observations.
the jaguar apart hotel of raphael is not closed. everybody likes raphael (he is a gentleman) , but one thing you need are ear plugs to sleep here. the worker's were having a rather loud conversation right outside my door. instead of trying to complain about the noise, i'll just get ear plugs. the other thing about this place is that the wireless is pretty spotty. it would be great if raphael could put more router's and such in to expand network coverage a little to reach the floors. i'm not asking for blazing speeds, just some reliability would be nice.
i mongered from 4 am to 6 am last night. i took to the streets and saw about 5 sw. 2 were fat. i don't do fat. there were 2 light-skinned thin sw (8 out of 10) and 1 dark-skinned thin sw (8 out of 10). they hung around the intersection of av independencia and calle pasteur. they're going rates were $1000.
here's the problem with the 2 light-skinned sw's. i've had them way too many times. every trip into sdq, i've always had them. they're cheap, safe, reliable, and in good shape. just like a 2008 civic. but they are the only ones that i ever see.
the 1 dark-skinned thin sw turned out to be a nightmare and accused me of stealing $1000 from her. i think her name is maria. i was so pissed that i kicked her out of the hotel. she threatened to sit in front of my hotel. i was actually worried because i didn't want the police to come. i'm a foreigner and don't know the system in the dr, so i was worried about what the police would do. so i left her in front of the hotel and went to eat at the hotel riazor. 30 minutes later i saw her walking with some tall dark lanky guy.
i was worried she grabbed him to beat me up or something. i don't want problems in the dr. there are a lot of deported us convicts that live here. although i've always felt safe, when you're placed in sticky situations, you become more visible to others. including hustlers, gangsters, and thieves. maybe i should have just paid the $1000 and let it quietly settle? what would you guys have done?
anyways, there weren't any new sw that i saw last night. i'll be hunting tonight again, so i'm hoping for something different. this trip, if i have to fuck the same god damn sw's over and over again, i'm going to go batty. all the local street guys at night tried to take me to lapsus. if the sw's suck, i'll go check that out tonight and report back.
also, the english speaking old waiter (very nice person) , at the restaurant of hotel riazor, said that a bunch of bars were shut down last night on av venezuela for serving alcohol to the minors. he said these shutdowns are happening because of the political elections next year. i'm not sure if that's true, but i leave you guys to read the dr newspapers to confirm.
its 1pm right now. i'm going to la cadena to buy some beers, then the farmacia to get ear plugs and viagra. i'll be back at the hotel in an hour. afterwards, i'm going to eat a late lunch at adrian tropical and then walk west on av george washington to av abraham lincoln. i'm curious how the sw look around there near the hilton. its also just a nice beach side walk. and i've read there are a couple things to do around that area. if you guys want me to check out a couple places and report back to you on the findings, let me know where to go and i'll scout them out. i brought my camera, but forgot a battery charger, so i'll see if i have some juice.
i do have one question. i'm a big fan of techno music, like that european house / trance stuff. where would you guys go for that kind of music? are there any clubs that play that kind of music on av venezuela or somewhere in sdq? if that kind of music doesn't exist, where would you guys go for some classic rock or heavy metal? i'm getting real tired of this hip-hop rap-crap in the sdq clubs now a days. while i respect the african american population for creating alot of great rap songs in the late 80's and early 90's. this obsession with jay z and ludacris in sdq clubs and maintaining a thug gangster attitude is really sickening. this hip-hop crap sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
