Sosua Reports

I'll be in town this weekend and would love to watch the UFC matches on pay-per-view. Any chance a bar in Sosua or Puerto Plata will have it?

[QUOTE=Getrhythm]I've been here just over a month now, and I think it's fair to say that with the current lack of tourism, there's been something of a "market adjustment" regarding prices. Very strong buyer's market at present - it's been easy to pull girls out of Classicos for 1000 pesos short time with very little negotiation required. 1500-2000 is common for TLN, though I've gotten as low as 1000 from a few haitian girls.

Exchange rate is still good - just got 36.9 from the bank today. The D.R. remains very economical compared to Colombia or Brazil, where the dollar is getting killed.

To the best of my knowledge, Casa Marina is still not a "monger-friendly" hotel. No knowledge of Sosua By the Sea. But there's a host of other options, including the popular "ground zero" New Garden, Terra Linda just up the street, Sea Breeze, Europa, Don Antonio, etc., all of which are chica friendly.[/QUOTE]
I live down here and I endorse all these remarks as "spot on".

The Dominican Peso shadows the US dollar so the exchange rate is never going to stray too far unless and until the DR Govt announces a major economic rethink. As they weren't hurt too badly directly by the recent recession (only indirectly with loss of tourism), and as the world economy is slowly on the mend, I don't foresee any major changes in the near future.

After being here for 1/2 a week, I am slowly adjusting to the stray dogs, the empty lots right next to the good-looking condos and homes, and the constant selling by the moto guys, the bar guys, and the food vendors. I'm even getting used to being ass grabbed by the girls, some of whom I wouldn't mind having private relations with save for the fact that negotiating in public still seems rather strange to me.

I ate some chicken grilled on an old oil drum BBQ and haven't worshipped at the porcelain altar as a result. Perhaps Tony Bourdain is right in that the street vendors don't stay in business long by poisoning their customers. Later today I'll try some of the delicious looking baked noodles and rice and beef from a vendor down the street.

I'm enjoying being able to go to a bar and drink a beer or two without calculating what percentage of my hourly wage those beers are costing me. Even with tips, the beers are only $1.50 to $2.00, so I can concentrate on BSing with the bar owners and fellow patrons or just chilling.

Today I'll be venturing to the beach in the late afternoon after a nap of course. My head is clearer than it has been in the past 4 months. I have written more code for my own business than I have in the past 4 weeks. Mistakes that I couldn't figure out for the last week got resolved in 10 minutes, and the new code I wrote are not full of problems. I guess not being constantly stressed out by the BS of work has ameliorating effects on one's mind, so this is why people take vacations! :)

Those are the good parts. The not so good parts has been the girls. The one super hot chick I pulled out of a well known bar was more interested in playing with my computer than playing with me. It was a strange experience. While I appreciated the half (distracted?) GFE and half PSE, the session left me feeling unfulfilled. I hope to get at least one wow session before the week is done.

To me that's the main NEGATIVE that I have about Sosua. Its a small town so everybody knows if your an out of towner and they have no problems begging you from sunrise to sundown. They bug the shit out of you cus they know you don't live there and that youll be leaving soon.

Just be firm with them and show no weakness. They can spot a sucker a mile away

They know that there fine so they want to charge more and if they've been in Sosua for a long time then your experience with her is going to suck.

I know its hard to negotiate a price all out in the street, it was difficult for me the first time, so instead find a female that you have chemistry with, don't ask about price.

Just go off of chemistry and instinct. In other words just pretend that your in a bar in your home town and your trying to find a female to take home. Find a vibe or connection with that honey. See if she's digging you. Body language can tell me a lot about a woman. We all want the finest woman we see but now you're the one being hunted so take your time. Your checking her attitude, her scent of perfume, her eyes and hips, just watching and seeing if she's moving to your rhythm or if her eyes is on you like urs is on her.

I know it may sound a little unorthodox but from my experience the best females I had was when I didn't say a word about money and vise-versa. I still paid them in the end so I figure out the going price rate for "newbies that don't speak no espanol rate" and go from there.

(BTW I believe the current newbie-no espanol rate is Daytime action usually be between 1500-2000 peso and night time is between 2000-2500 peso)

Coolie, good advice! I go out quite a few days a week back in the States to go Salsa dancing, and I know exactly what you mean. I can dance my butt off with the "wrong" girl and still have the dance end just in a friendly hug and a look that says, "Don't bother asking for my phone number." With the right girl, I can feel the crowd disappear, and it's just me, her, and the music, and when a Bachata comes on, she's there looking for me for a slow dance.

LOL, I should have adopted the same approach here. Instead, I took that hot chick out again thinking that the 2nd time is the charm. Nope, instead of making wild sex, she watched TV, ate my food, drank my beer, and fell asleep. She's in the other bed sleeping now. LOL, this is the TWE, Tired Wife Experience, about which I have always been dreaming. With North American pros, even if they don't find you attractive in the least bit, they'd still bang you out with a PSE and part way cordially. I have never had a TWE in my entire life. Let this be a lesson to other Sosua newbies to go with the girls who dig you, and if you must go with the hottest chick, then don't pick her from an establishment that demands payment up front at 10 PM.

Are you telling me that you hav a broad right now in Sosua that's eating up your shit, watching tv and fell asleep without giving you no sex. WTF

I hope to GOD you throw that B***H OUT as soon as you finish typing that report. Hell let's see her there's a 6 hour time difference fo each report to post so hopefully by the time you read this post you wouldve kicked that broad to the curve and found you another honey-dip

A broad eating up your shit and falling asleep in your bed and not take care of your needs first? I wish a hoe would. If that broad ain't out your presense by the time you read this I'm going call up the rest of the OG's of this forum(Mr. Gogo, Helpmann, Chief, Jao, BQ Ribs, Sir Charles, BoricuaOnline, etc) and get your monger license revoked.

That's damn near blasphemy to go to Sosua and have a woman NOT serve you just the way you like it. You have the money which means you have the power.

Hi, may be, you are a collegue ?
I know so ancient languages like ALGOL, Basic, C, Cobol, Fortran, PL/1. Forgot the "A": And a few Assemblers :-) But now more into some web stuff ...

ALGOL? Didn't they, uh, write that in cuneiform on clay punch-cards? :D

I spent a few hours hanging out at CMP two weeks ago and liked it better than Passions. It is physically a better spot to have some drinks and play with the girls than Passions, esp. the new Passions. No hardselling, like you are sitting at a villa as opposed to the NY strip club style Passions.

The menu only had ST rates ($2500) and takeout from 9:00PM ($5000, ouch!).
The girls were on par with Passions as well.

I did not session with any of the girls, just played around with them and gave a small propina when I left.

actually there is a good lesson here. she is playing the "i'm a good girl role" but everyone must understand that a "good girl" would not go anywhere near sosua. sosua is about money and sex period, don't get it twisted fellas.

interesting story.

once a wingman and i went to santiago to see my regular(good girl) and her friend. i gave my wingman the prep talk. we are staying in cabarette not sosua. i also told him no matter what don't say sosua.

well were sitting at the table with the family and he asks me what time classicos closes? i ignore him but the girls brother asks him"classicos in sosua"? he said "yeah". when sosua was mentioned everyone stopped eating and looked at me. i continued eating as i felt everyone staring. then my girl asks my boy if we were staying in cabarette. he said yes with me. then she asks what hotel? my boy looked at me as i ate(for help) then said newgarden in cabarette. her brother says newgarden is in sosua. i'm thinking"this motherfucker just killed me" so now i have to throw his dumb ass under the bus. i said i'm in cabarette and he is staying in sosua. we finish eating and my girl says i'm going home with you. i say i'm tired and just want to sleep and rest. needless to say she never called me and i never called her again. as me and my boy drive to classicos i ask"do you remember the gameplan" he gave me the fuck them hoes speech and i let it go.

What/Where is CMP?

Thanks!

That is FAR too much money. You can have a girl for a few days for $5.000 DOP.

[QUOTE=Professor 1]That is FAR too much money. You can have a girl for a few days for $5.000 DOP.[/QUOTE]

Im sure MHO knows this but was just passing along the info for anybody who might think they would want to partake.

I need some help , I was in Sosua a few years back and stayed at hotel Europa. I will be going back in February and want to know Should I stay at Europa or New Garden? Are both Female friendly? Cons / Pros?

Also we went to a place (Bar) that was like 20 minutes away from Europa that was in the middle of nowhere It was a Bar that was in the woods and looked like a bamboo tiki hut and in the back was some rooms for the girls to do their business. I want to visit that place again but dont know the name any help?

stayed at hotel europa, i know people have moved on to new garden, sea breeze etc etc, but the europa for me is "good enough" clean enough and huge rooms, ive been going there since 02' and diego who can get difficult from time to time has always given me a good rate and treated me well, the rest of my posse' stayed at sosua bay and the sea breeze. p.s. bring your own toilet paper, i'm serious.

i like to eat at ricky's which is right up the block from the hotel, the food is always good and fresh, not cheap though for comida tipico, rice, chicken, salad and a soda can cost you 280-350pesos($10) with small tip. then there are the usual good places, pj's, bologna pizza. choose your destinations carefully to avoid the shits. this can fuck up your whole trip.

hung out a lot at the beach, my friends working at the beach are in dire straights, it is very very slow and the people seem to be in desperation. you will be bombarded by every single type of vendor known to man, say yes or no aggressively or they will never leave. my friend says that the politur is harassing the girls that used to walk along the beach in abundance. bad move for the tourist trade.

real bright spot, cmp sosua is a real gem! the owner is from spain and a real nice guy! they created this place to offer competition for passions and i think they hit it spot on.. it is about 2 blocks before passions on the same side of the street. it is more like a resort with girls lounging around chairs and tables in all states of dress(around 20), rather than some kind of thai bar ala passions where all the girls wear the same outfits, are on the other side of the bar on which you just share a hand hold moment and really stare you down (so fake) like you are brad pitt and the last man on earth.. plus the owner of passions thinks hes a real tough guy and seems to rub me the wrong way. to each his own.

at cmp sosua the ladies are very friendly but not overly aggressive, now here"s the kicker, not one chica in there asked me for one peso or for anything not even for one beer, obviously this must have been something that was strictly enforced to the girls. so something happens when girls don"t ask me for drinks, i offer one to them! after having a beautiful girl sit on my lap for a long while i am also glad to give up some small amount of pesos for their time for which she is very much obliged.

last but not least, the pool party on saturday's never have i seen gringos have such a great time all in one place, plenty of naked women for all, good food, great pictures, good dj and not one gringo with attitude. just an all around good time with a wet t-shirt contest at the end to top it all off. i would like to post some pics but it would involve a lot of "face editing"

night life: start at rumba and flow, both have cheap large beers and good place to start off looking at any eye candy and free lancers walking by. next stop latinos down stairs, look at the eye candy, free lancers and watch the girls walk up the stairs(nice pantie shots lol) next? upstairs to classicos, always a selection of hell no's and some not bads and few hotties.

this is a buyers market guys with a 4 girls to 1 ration. i was able to negotiate tln with some of the higher end girls for 1500, plus 50 pesos for motoconcho. how was i able to do this you may ask? simple, i speak perfect spanish, i don't look bad, dress well, pretty good shape now, have gift of gab(most important) and i tell them that "i pay 1500, look around and if either if us don't find anything we go together. i tell you 9 times out of 10 i was going home with the girl. all you mongers out there paying 2500-3500 are just fucking shit up for everybody else, don't give a shit or are weekend warriors who just want to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] away their money. tighten up your negotiating skills son and don't be afraid to walk.

then for you night owls hit the casino just up the street open til like 7am, all the left over gringos and ladies will end up there for a last chance gig.

final thoughts, many less haitans around imo, less street walkers, much much more police and politur presence. good or bad? i'm not sure yet. got shaken down though. police pulled me over on my scooter for not wearing my helmet, they were on pedro clisante and not on the main road above were they usually hang out. i tried everything.. "no speakey spanish, i know the police sergeant, i'm a tourist who has been coming down for 8 years", blah blah blah, the guy wouldn't budge he wanted to be greased no matter what. he threatened to confirep001e my moto. so while filling out the "official" paper work i asked him what was the process he said that i needed to go to some bank and wait in line and pay this shit then return to the police station with the paid receipt. i then told him "how about i just give it to you and you drop the money off" he said "ok" i gave him the money and the "official infraction" went into a rain puddle in the water and my 1000 pesos went into his pocket.

if they start hassling tourists as a norm over there to get greased for petty bullshit i will not be returning for this was my first run in with the law in 8 years. this practice will only hurt the tourism business in the end. you can't imagine how many poor motoconch drivers are so upset with the policia and transito there.
