Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Mr Gogo; 1175552]Good post but one thing I don't agree with. Your"Girl for a week" quote. It's not as prevalent as before. Maybe because the girl's don't feel comfortable walking around during the day. Maybe it's the ex Brazil guy's who just want a quickie and not a date. Maybe the girl's feel they can make more money doing hourly rates. Maybe it's because guy's now don't care about learning the language or culture.

Before girl's would lock in for your whole trip regardless of how much you were paying initially, because they didn't want to share your deniro. Monger's and chica's walking around holding hand's. Guy's going to the airport lovesick and crying, going to Western union getting the Gold card. Meeting the family. Girl's trying to get you to go bareback to show their commitment. Sosua is buisiness and fast money now. Girl's from outter town's aren't getting dressed up to find a boyfriend at Classico's. Just pro chica's looking for a fast trick. Fake love was the norm before.[/QUOTE]Somewhat true, but you can still see plenty of odd couples walking around, the 5 foot 4 inches middle aged white guy with his 5 foot 9 inches brown skinned inamorata in restaurants wiping the dribble from his mouth.

Possibly the novio seeking girls are more inclined to target local residents than casual visitors.

I will post more on this topic in a week or two, but at the present time reasons of confidentiality are a factor.

DAMAGE:

70 pesos for entrance.

110 pesos for her drink.

110 pesos for one hour in hotel.

300 pesos for her propina-

Converted, this is about $150. I'm gettin the same thing in Sosua for $27. Any doubts on a major reason for leaving BA?

The fact of the matter is, there are dozens of Privados in BA where a perfectly nice roll in the sack can be had for 100 pesos. Or under $30 US. Even a top drawer experience shouldn't run more than 300 pesos, which is around $80 US And in BA, you can also get a superb steak dinner for under $15 US all over the place, and you're in one of the more cosmopolitan cities on the planet, not a shithole dump like Sosua. Other than beach, and proximity to the USA, Sosua has nothing on Buenos Aires, and it's silly to claim otherwise.

[QUOTE=John Gault;1175632]Yes you are right on the money concerning girls trying to get you to go bareback. This has happened to me in almost every country that I have visited. This trick has worked well as I have repeated with these girls many times. The main factor is now that you have barebacked them you are not free (in their eyes) to take other girls. Funny in that your point on this matter is never really talked about on ISG. There are many warnings on (take cabs don't walk, Guard your drink, don't wear gold chains, etc.) , but this warning of the bareback trick is IMHO more important that most of the others.[/QUOTE]Except in most places other than Sosua, the guy can play that game, and simply switch venues to go onto the next "novia". SIM cards are cheap to toss and replace. It's only in a little tiny backwater like Sosua where there are only a few venues right near each other, and everyone knows everyone else's business that the chicas can actually get their hooks into you and keep you from playing the rest of the field.

Please list the 100 peso Privado's and restaurants with qualty $15 steaks. Curious minds want to know! Regards, Silly Sid

That was a great verbal picture. I could almost see in my mind's eye the scene. And the "dribble" made me crack up. But such days are in the offing so may be I should take it easy with my laughter.

[QUOTE=Frannie; 1175532]Actually I quite like the German restaurants of which there are plenty in Sosua with some good dishes on the menu. Had spicy meatballs and potato salad tonight. Anybody could make it, but it hit the spot.

I also like the excellent bread that is available from the German bakeries in Sosua, which you can find at the large Playero supermercado.[/QUOTE]Speaking of German places, I would love to have a Schokolade croissant with a cup of capuccino for breakfast at a genuine German bakery. It would make my day.

On another note, This Susanna's seem to be an interesting meeting point. As someone on the forum said it, to learn about creole food which would be true for me. At least for once and then to support a viable local business. The fact that chicas congregate there, could be the other draw.

[QUOTE=Member #2041;1175686] and you're in one of the more cosmopolitan cities on the planet[/QUOTE]Prove your claims, and I'll return on the next plane to my home of 6 years. Strange, I never met you there. We will meet and enjoy the opera, symphony, plays in Spanish, art shows, jazz, soccer, parks, mas. Are you related to Jackson? And dine on beef and Malbec wine.

[QUOTE=Uktraveler;1175467]No need to research anything as I've lived it all there. As you are older,"wifed-up" and (apparently) newer to Sosua than I, perhaps you can't fully appreciate the situation. Nevertheless, one man's vomit is another man's meal, so far be it for me to put anymore "tears in your beer", er ah pal.[/QUOTE]"One man's vomit is another man's meal"?

Yuk! Maybe it should be one man's junk is another man's treasure?

I may be wifed up, but I'm always looking at Sosua through a mongers eye, specially since I've been down with my single buddy the last three times, and we hang out on the main drag at night. He's never seen the "old" Sosua, and thinks it's great. Novia brings in a couple of out of towners to meet him, and he has Classicos as a fallback.

But we all know its not what it used to be. There used to be a freshness, an excictement, a real vibe in the air, with new chicas rolling through in waves, newbies gigling with their amigas, not quite sure of themselves, as they tested their pussy power for the first time as pros. Now you see mostly seasoned pros.

But old Sosua didn't disappear, it just dispersed, and the spirit is still alive and well in the good old DR. A couple of weekdays in Boca, and the weekend in Sosua would still do it for me.

[QUOTE=Oakie;1175777]A couple of weekdays in Boca, and the weekend in Sosua would still do it for me.[/QUOTE]Any thoughts on the difference in chica quality and numbers in Sosua vs Boca Chica these days. I haven't been to BC in years.

[QUOTE=Orgasmico;1175863]Any thoughts on the difference in chica quality and numbers in Sosua vs Boca Chica these days. I haven't been to BC in years.[/QUOTE]This was the same question I had. Haven't been to BC in years either (like 10) and was recently looking at some of the current pics on DR1 of the "Boathouse". Wow, it looks nothing like it was when I was there. If nothing else, the proximity to SD makes this a definite consideration.

[QUOTE=Orgasmico;1175863]Any thoughts on the difference in chica quality and numbers in Sosua vs Boca Chica these days. I haven't been to BC in years.[/QUOTE]I was in Boca Chica, for about two weeks, in June. I will post some reports when I have the time (now that this topic is brought up I will start posting this weekend). Sosua still has better looking chicas. One gets tired, real fast, of the lack of quality chicas in Bocas Chica (maybe I was there during the wrong part of the year?). I would not recommend more than four days there (and even this is too long). I noticed more casas in Boca Chica and if you are willing to overpay than you will get better quality than the chicas in the streets. Greater police presence, with Politur and Policia Nacional, constantly monitoring the strip. More pickpockets, hustlers, and even younger action. Again, I will start posting on the Boca Chica thread some of my experiences. Again, Sosua still has the better action.

Sit in front of Coca Playa Hotel [ check the google map, I had the webmaster correct the name of the hotel] in beach chair. The girls have to walk right past you and its not like they say no. The girls are mostly from Santo Domingo.

[QUOTE=Kitie Carson;1172006]All giddy and stuff about hitting Blackbeards! Tbc[/QUOTE]We were really looking forward to reading about Kiti's adventures at Blackbeard's.

But the report never seemed to make it there. Kitie, can you take us there?
