[QUOTE=Princzz;1408460]Jasousa: I have a couple of questions based on your reply if you don't mind.[/QUOTE]Dominicans come in all shapes, sizes and colors (Haitians also. Some rich and poor haitians live in santo domingo). I usually wear slacks, black or dark blue, docker type pants wrinkle free, slip on type black colored shoes, collared button-down short sleeve shirts not tucked into the pants. I have hung with Americans who wear baseball caps, t-shirts and shorts.
At night some Dominican men wear long sleeve button down shirts.
My first stay in Santo Domingo was at the Jaragua (tower section). I loved it. Nice pool, pros in the casino bar, back then. Easy to walk around from that hotel. I had three women visit my room that trip at the Jaragua (I had given their names at the time of check-in), security stopped me with one of them at night, she had big breasts in a small blouse, no bra (still big even though she had had breast reduction surgery). The bigger hotels don't want hoochies running around the property. The other woman (a dentist and her sister) visited during the day and were not stopped.
A short easy walk from the Jaragua (about 4 blocks) is the hotel navarro, Cuban Owned and some of the women who work at expensive Foxys (sort of strip club, p4p venue) live at the hotel navarro. You can rent a room there Por un rato (short time) or over night. Rates are probably around $40 per night for a daily rental (could be less or more).
SIM card you can buy at the airport if you get in at normal business hours. Second Floor adjacent to the escalators is a Claro shop. Orange shop on the first floor near the Pizzarela chain restaurant. Airport has three floors, numerous shops, banks, restaurants (Burger King and others) and Pharmacy where you can buy Viagra, Cialis and generic versions over the counter no prescription (prices are higher at the airport).
In February 2013, I bought a SIM card in Claro in La Romana for 160 pesos (about $3.90US). If you don't have pesos and still want a SIM card, Claro will at the airport take $5US Dollars and sell you a SIM card. The Claro chica will write your new number on a card and tape your old SIM card to that card. You can ask her to add minutes (recargar=recharge), 100 pesos, 250 pesos, 500 pesos. Adding minutes by buying calling cards is easy thereafter (or online using aryty or ezetop). She will install the new SIM card in your unlocked GSM Cell phone, you can throw the rap at her, tell her you want to make sure it works, ask her for her number so you can call to make sure all is good with the connection, (LOL).
Orange, Claro, Viva, Tricom shops and kiosks throughout the city where you can set up a prepaid account (get a SIM card). Data service I haven't used yet, prices seem reasonable. Claro and others sell USB dongles for your laptop. Wind Telecom has 4G. US based cell phone companies seem to have data service in the DR (I have not tried but others have). You will need to present your passport when purchasing a SIM card.
Some people prefer Orange, [url]http://portal.bufeo.com/search/galleries/3235/[/url] (Orange promotion at a Cinema for the movie Batman).
Casa de Modelos is in a house, no sign outside, supposedly open 24/7, I have driven there late at night. Low key inside, sofa, chairs, a bar. I have maybe visited three times, over a year ago. Lineups sometimes change in the casas. Seems they will negotiate price at casa de modelos. Take your time, try and "interview" the best you can (ie covered BJ, time, number of pops etc). The Cuban owner of 305 was always friendly and nice to me and the two women I took out of 305, were good, no problem, no rush. Casa Theresa has some tall, shapely attractive women in a nice house, with good lighting (not the least expensive place). Club MC, Casa Azul, Pink Pony, Penthouse, Venezia, Baby Dolls I have seen attractive women. Sky High and Girls House are owned by the same Cubans, don't expect much customer service from them. Satin Dolls I have known the female Dominican owner for a few years, nice woman who is usually not there. Foxys may charge a small cover charge of around 100 pesos. Dollhouse I have never been to. There are others and there are a few I have not yet been to.

Fast food fried chicken places, bone in or bone out (pechugas) some owned by Chinese Dominicans (say hello in Chinese sounds like knee-how).
