Santo Domingo

you can give policia nacional 100 pesos and they are happy. amet are mafiosos.

amet and pn have checkpoints everyday on avenida maximo gomez south of 27 de febrero. i watched the checkpoint today by the pn, they hardly stopped anyone, i know if i drove by, i would be told to stop.

two pn on a motorcycle, the other night tried to get me to stop on avenida maximo gomez, i just kept driving and entered the parking lot for the barcelo hotel and they didn't follow me into the parking lot.

lots of cars, trucks, motorcycles driving with no lights or broken lights, they never seemed to get stopped. amet detained me for over 2 hours the other day, later that same day i came upon an accident that just happened, young guy laying dead in the street, hit my a truck, while he was operating a motorcycle. maybe if the six amet officers who broke my balls for nothing for over two hours were actually enforcing laws that make the roads safer (ie: helmet laws, vehicle inspections for brakes and lights,) maybe that young guy would still be alive.

[quote=koki9290; 1198817]driving while gringo. i get stopped every trip but have gotten used to it. it's always the policia nacional (pn) and usually two of them on a moto. amet has never harassed me. the thing to remember with the pn is that they have no legal authority to issue tickets or fines.

i'm patient and it's always the same choreography. show them your driver's license and the car's registration. i argue with them about whatever violation they say i committed. they insist, i deny. you ran the red, no i didn't. you were speeding, no i wasn't.

finally, we get to the fine, you have to pay xxx pesos. i always tell them, ok, let's go to the police station to pay. no, you can pay me here and save the trip. no, i want to go to your police station. after more back and forth, they will finally give up and go away. usually lasts no more than 5-10 minutes.

one night, i was taking an amiga home when they stopped us. i had a glass of baileys with me and we had both been drinking. unfortunately, she is a defense lawyer and lit into them which pissed them off and this went on for over a half an hour before they gave up. after dropping her off, i pulled an illegal u-turn on 27 de febrero on my way home and got stopped again. when the pn came to my door, i showed him the registration and my license, which were still sitting out and told him i had just got stopped. he laughed and said ok, no more you-turns and vaya con dios.

last trip, they stopped me on gomez and found that the registration had the wrong plate number. i told them, it was a rental, not my problem, they could take it tyhe car if they wanted it. when they insisted, i called the emergency number for the rental car company and put them on the line with the pn. the cop had no idea what to do and, after a minute or two, hung up on them, gave me my docs and left.[/quote]

Well guys my last day and Jaososua called me and told me he had been tied up literally with a chica. We met again and the man bought me lunch. We decided to go hang out and we picked up a local friend of his. Really cool guy. After several hours at the Satin Doll / 305 / and the others next door I take a stunner out. We go to my hotel but they give me a hard time so she takes me to the cabanas. They are located all the way at the end of the Malecon. Driving there I must've seen at least 70 SWs parading and trying to get a client. We do the deed and after two hours we go back. I have a few more drinks and Jao is pretty lit at this point. It's a good thing he was not near a fire or else he'd been a human torch! I tell him I'm out and he and his buddy take two chicas out. I went to recon the SW and drove around for a while. There were anything from 1s to 8s on the scale. I picked one up with some nice hips and she quoted me 1000DR so off we went. Back to the cabanas. She was cool and afterwards as we go out she wants me to stop at the window. She asks for her money. Apparently she gets 100DR for every customer she brings in. What a country! I turn in for the night and call Jao the next day and thank him for everything. Truth is without him showing me around would've been boring. Really like to thank him for the courtesy. A stand up guy!

You are set in Santo Domingo. You have a list of cell phone numbers of chicas waiting to experience your "genetic defect", LOL.

Sabor is a well traveled monger who speaks perfect Spanish, any guys who monger with him will have fun.

In your opinion what is the best change rate for euro between ATM and Casa de cambio in Santo Domingo?

Thnk you

Guys looking for suggestions on "in house casa's" were the P4P is reasonable. Will be staying at the Hilton. Will be there on business, and with fellow co-workers. So bringing chica's back is not really an option.

What is the normal rates for "in house P4P" at the casa's?

Well I was in Santo Doming last weekend got in town on the 9-16-11 to 9-19-11 which was sort of a last minute trip I was not plaining on being in SD until late Oct.

But some friends wanted to go just for a weekend trip and since prices were not bad I said ok. Since one of my pals was going to meet a chica from last trip and I was going to get with.

Her friend he booked sat and Sunday at the Clarion which I was somewhat worried about since I had not seen or heard anyone talking about their chica policy in

Regards to multiple chicas, but I will get to that later. The first night we decide it was going to be a night on the town and we stayed at Jaguar and the orginal plan was

To call some previous chicas that we dealt with, but that change when we decide to go walking around and went into the casas we went into two. The first one was sky high or the first one that you get to after you past the mystik hotel and the water place which I am sure is sky high well anyway I had been to this one before and like before I was pleased with the quality and so were my buddies. We just went in there for a drink and just to look and one of my buddies got a lap dance or something which he was happy with.

So we left out although there were a few chicas I really wanted to hit, but since I have been to SD a few times now I know I do not have to pay that price although it was very tempting. So we went out and of course we were immediately swarmed by runners with their suggestion, but we decided to give one guy a try he wanted us look at lapsus and of course we really did not need him for that info I had seen this place before, but never went in but we said what the hell lets go check it out. We went in and I was surprised they had some quality and the girls were more aggressive here than at sky high, but not in a bad way and maybe a better word is more assertive. Well anyway everyone came close to taking a girl out, but the saving grace was we only brought enough cash for food and drinks when we went walking so that actual turned out well IMO because we had a great time at the casas, but at the same time did not overpay for some action. You know its like once you have left the place you are mostly likely not going to go back once you had time to think about and say oh I do not have to pay that and call some chicas to do the same thing at lower price and longer which is what we did so that night turned out well.

Well the next day we checked in at the Clarion and It is a very good hotel and you can tell you are in a more affluent area by just the cars you see and the roads are cleaner. Well guys this hotel is chica friendly with some guidelines When we checked in my chica was not coming until a little later, but all that was really important was that I was booked for 2 persons in room. I went to get something to eat at a nearby strip mall and told my chica to have taxi drop her there which is walking distance to hotel so she came there we ate and went back to hotel well we walk straight in and went to elevator and no one ask us anything or imo was paying attention. When we were checking in I notice one guy came in with a hot chica and went straight to hotel well later that day we were just hanging in the lobby and that same guy came by the desk with a different chica and just walked right by and went to his room which was on my floor and look to see would anyone at the front desk say anything and they did not if they even looked up.

Well the next day there was more I saw one real gorgeous chica (a real head turner) come down out of the elevator and wait in the lobby and wait on her ride when it came it was a medium size suv and she got in and at the time I really thought nothing of it. Well I saw another head turner later on and she did the same thing and that same suv came to pick her up and now I really starting to think what is up with this because its obvious these girls are not staying at the hotel. Well later that night I saw another girl this time she was coming in and going up to a room and no one at the front desk asked her anything so of course I need to find out what is going on here.

Well later on I found out that those 3 girls that were getting out of that suv were not dominicans one was from Argentina and they are somewhat high priced at least for over there in the range of 4, 500 pesos and up and that there is some kind of list that guys pick from and the hotel has full knowledge of it. Well this hotel is chica friendly regardless if you use those girls or not and I was told its better to book for 2 people, but if you want to see more than one chica than its better not to register any chica and just walk right by with your chica like you belong there and just go to your room. Now I do not think this means multiple chicas in the room with you at the same time, but it does mean you are not stuck with one chica. I was also told that when you bring chicas it would be best for them to be dressed down meaning no obvious call girl attire to this I must say is true all those chicas were looking good no doubt, but none were in very short mini skirts or anything like that they were in jeans tight ones at that but nothing that other women do not wear. The guys that were coming in with their chicas none of then as I recalled had anything on that could be called racy and I basically was told if you keep it low profile you would have no problem at this hotel.

As far as the hotel itself it is great the rooms are big and clean and the breakfast is good and I got out to a different part of SD and I also went to the acropils mall and hooters and there seem to be some other bars to go to which I might on another visit.

If I was a monger I would not stay at the hotel barcelo santo domingo. This hotel tried to charge me $100US to allow some chica to visit the lounge near my room. I will not return to this hotel.

I will never return.

The Policia Nacional made a special attempt to try and stop me tonight on Maximo Gomez. These pieces of shit are so desperate for money that one jumped over a concrete barrier and tried to run in front of my car, if I was evil I would have run him over. But I drove around him and drove into the Barcelo Hotel. They chose not to follow me into the Barcelo Hotel parking area. ISG member Gagoo was in the car with me and he witnessed the absolute crazy desperation of these piece of shit policia nacional in there attempt to try and shakedown a WHITE tourist. Maybe if you are Indian, African American, Latino, Asian maybe they won't bother you, these pathetic Policia Nacional believe all white people are rich and just want to give their money away. Santo Domingo is no city for white people (probably why you will see very few white people here).

Why the United States issues any Visas for Dominicans is beyond me. Why the United States gives The Dominican Government about 50 million dollars in aid every year is beyond me. The Dominican government can't pay its bills so it has to borrow hundreds of millions from the world bank and get grants from the IMF.

This will be my last trip.

Barcelo Santo Domingo Hotel, I would not recommend to anyone.

The wh_rehouses here are overpriced and stocked with sub-par talent, it is not a good monger destination.

Can someone tell me: about how many hours does the Caribe Tours bus from Santo Domingo to Puerto Plata?

Regards,

Rudy

Koki warned me about the Police and such down there in Santo Domingo which I didn't have an issue except for a ticket that was my own fault for not having my license. I have relentlessly searched for a place in the DR that isn't 'Scummy' but haven't found that place yet. Lot of shit going on there now.

This is the first I have heard of a hotel having a "book", a very common practice in South America, especially Brazil. But, I stil do not understand why anyone goes to Jaragua since they are so damn annoying about women (I checked in once with a girlfriend who registered too. Still, everytime we went to our room, a security guard chased us as if my girl were a working girl.).

I still prefer the Palacio. The location isn't perfect, unless you think the Conde is nice (I think it is a bit of a dump and the girls there are mostly regular girls not looking for guys like me or crazies). But, it is not far from the best mongering places in the city. And, I can bring back two chicas at 2 am and as long as they have an ID, there is no hassle and no extra charge.

Mardonius: As you do not use the casas. Which everyone agrees are the most expensive girls in SD- I am curious where you get your ladies from. Friends of friends?
