[QUOTE=Schwmmr]This is the most disgusting imagery I've ever seen posted on this board.
Noone else noticed???[/QUOTE]We noticed but the guy meant no harm. Out of all the good and funny parts of his story you pick that to dwell on. Lighten up and take a chill pill its not that serious. You act like he is the worst guy to ever post here.
[QUOTE=Mr Gogo]Its funny with all the theorys here. I started out with the undercover Euro investment idea, then later said its about a little more respectability. Nego562 started with the Haitian wipeout theory but after Jao shot that down by saying the SD crackdown didn't involve Haitians, he now says it a money grab. Now we hear Lionel was having an affair. And some people say keep an eye on the stalled projects between Sosua and Cabarette(for renovation). But I heard one the other day thats pretty good.
A few months ago Lionel visited Obama at the White house. The word is Obama gave him a heads up about future developments with Cuba. If the DR doesn't start to prepare now to compete with Cuba in the future for tourist dollars it will be left behind. Cuba has been allowing limited European monies for two golf communites with 200 condos each. Not a big deal but food for thought.[/QUOTE]Mr. Gogo: You are right that there are too many conspiracy theories here. But this last one you are considering is also unlikely.
I don't think that there will be any changes in the near future in US-Cuba relations. Why? Because a Cuban-American will be the head of the Congressional committee on foreign policy. And she is heavily invested in maintaining a policy that has failed for 50 years now.

Add to that the election of Cuban-American Marco Rubio as Senator from FL and the end of the embargo is no-where in sight even if this president was to support it.
If the old man dies, then public sentiment may change things - but until then I expect no changes.

[QUOTE=Negro562]As always the Big American visitor chimes in with his perspective of what is going on on the island which he does not live.[/QUOTE]I am a little overweight, so you can call me Big American, although I do have two passports from two different countries.
Maybe you are correct about the crackdowns and I am wrong. No problem for me. This site is about exchanging ideas and information. I have been wrong before and I will be wrong again in things I post here.

This is one great example as to why there are a lack of trip reports on ISG. You take extra time to write-up a report of somewhat quality, instead of, "Yeah I fucked 7 women in 2 hours and popped 15 times." And there is always at least one person that will find something negative about it. People don't want to put their heads on a chopping block, just so 1 or 2 others can take a whack at it (analogy as well).
It was only an analogy, focused on a strong grip, not something I wanted you to visualize; sorry to disturb you.

Some people here live in a negative enviornment where bullshit prevails. With all the current topics being debated, it behooves me how someone can stray so far off topic and search for one sentence and try to put someone down for it when the whole report was good. Your report was appreciated, the problem that guy has is within himself.

Thanks for the info.
Ok so here it is. Me and my 2 buddies will be leaving for Sosua Tomorrow. First time for all of us but it was my idea. Thank you ISG because of your site I feel like my trip will be a much safer and fun vacation (or adventure). I read back pretty far but I have a feeling nothing will prepare me for the next week. I didn't post because I had nothing to contribute. I have been to every spring break and festival there is but Sosua is a whole different animal that I need to tame.
I know the new laws will be going into effect in a few days but it's cool with me because i have no old Sosua trip to compare it to so it will be all new to me. If I can find an internet cafe or similar I will try to update the site as I see it is courteous to give back to those that helped me learn and laugh reading other posts and trip reports. Tomjackin and Coolie High thanks for your first timer reports. I see some of your mistakes can be just as eventful as the jackpots so i will go with the flow and see how it turns out. Also thanks to all the veterans (too many to name) thanks for the info. Ill be sure to watch those pick pockets and avoid the tigers if i can spot them after 15 presidentes. If i can have half as much fun and you'll did your first time I know it will well worth the dinero. Well its 3 am in NY and I cant sleep because Ive got my mind on Sosua and Sosua on my mind.
Newjack!
I kept looking for what this guy was talking about and when I found it I busted out laughing. That was a great analogy, that ***** wasnt giving up them cheetos!

Look forward for your report.

I hear you. You will find that on just about any message board. Always a few that will discourage others from posting. I have learned to ignore the stupid stuff and move on. You post, you read, you find new friends.
Thanks again for your report.

one of the guys who enjoyed it.........
[QUOTE=Jaosousa]My apologies to you and your friend for any offense. Not all Muslims are bad people, I know some very nice Muslim people.[/QUOTE]
No need to apologize. It shows from your posts that you're a civil and reasonable guy. You just got a little carried away in the discussion with a quite antagonistical party.
Keep the intel coming!

I thought it was pretty funny considering you and the chips routine in tijuana. Your report was funny honest and informative. I'm glad you had a good time in sosua.
Pay no mind to all the negative BS and just focus on the positive. This site does wonders for people who travel.

Watch out because chips are highly addictive, right now I'm getting the monkey off my shoulder, with the strength of a toddler biting a pitbull.
Never ever buy a certain "Los Pericos" brand because they are actually [i]insanely[/i] addictive!!!
I never thought that my comments would be mistaken to the point that I would be considered un-American. Wow. Let you guys tell it all the chicas hate me and I am walking around Sosua trying to murk out every American I see. Go figure.
That's cool. The great thing about being American is I can pretty much say and do whatever I want and how you feel about it doesn't matter. So, keep up the great work! Take whatever I write for whatever you want. I am not really short on friends so there is no love lost.
