Where to exchange currency?
How to get from airport to accomodation?
How to travel around in general (hail taxis or motoconchos)?
Pipeline or hit up the casino?
Day game?
I just want some RnR really and a new vibe, I'm not desperate to lay the island down with dyck.
I will be there not too long from now and I'm trying to get prepared.
You're going to Santo Domingo on a short (3-4 day) trip, right? Here's what I do:
Book a hotel or AirBnb on the Malecon. You need to have a pool. Closer to Zona Colonial on the Malecon - the better. Should run you $50-100 a night.
Pipeline hard on Dominican Cupid and Badoo. Day game mega centro mall on Saturday afternoon.
Currency can be exchanged at a little spot across the street from Orange on El Conde. Your hotel in the Malecon may also be able to exchange. Or you can just get pesos from the atm.
For night game - Go to Onnos on Thursday and 75 Grados on the weekend (if not too packed).
To relax, you can take a day trip to Juan Dolio. Nice beach about an hour away from SD.
Taxi from airport to Zona Colonial area should be $20-30 USD. Take taxis in the city, no motos.

RE: Moma Travel destination (3 days)
First time I've switched my laptop on since I got down here. For the first time today, I did hear the alarms going off as Mechanico claimed. I didn't really notice it before. It didn't really affect my sleep as my Naija travels has really steeled me to 'Wahala'.
The traffic here is insane and the driver (not the original driver) seems to be impressed that I'm not tense from how close we are to tankers, trucks, motoconchos and pedestrians darting across the highway. They must have telepathy as I saw a sexy light skinned Dominicana casually pick her way through an unrest of relentless traffic and blaring horns with the same serenity on her face as if she were alone in her bedroom applying makeup. She sidestepped a few darting cars and I watched her face on both occasions and her indifference was amazing. I saw the driver I was with almost clip some guy with dreads on a motorbike (no helmet, of course!) on our way to la playa (the beach). I looked at the guy's face keenly and his level of relaxation was on par with someone who has smoked a whole bag of cess and just bust a heavy nut.
I went to a Dominican jam in the hood last night featuring a local artist and it had a loud assortment of Dominican noise as Mechanico did say, lol.
However..I loved it and I will be updating my music collection pronto. The lizards I was with 'seemed' impressed with my waist movements which have improved since I moved to Florida (in my opinion). I danced bachata with one lizard and they said for a noob, I seemed to be be doing well and picking it up fast. Right now, the language sounds like a rapid blur of words but I trust my brain to decode it at some point and although the time frame l am here is short, it's a case of adaptation.
I noticed a few people looking at me in the club. I've been referred to as 'El Americano and I don't think the fact that 'Yo soy de Ingleterra' has registered as firmly. A black Dominicana in black who was rotating her backside with a hypnotic roll to the dembo caught my eye when I went to the toilet and I noticed her staring at me on multiple occasions with intent. That part will be continued and expanded with my write up.
My Spanish is being forced along in leaps and bounds as the dude I am rolling with since I got here knows zero English and my Spanish is extremely paltry. I keep pulling French words out and get total blank looks from the driver and his hermana. I've been leaning heavily on Google translate to drag words out. I love that they can't speak English because I've been chatting about this bilingual thing for a while and pussyfooting around. Give me 3 months here and my Spanish would be flawless, I would be blending in like Terminator 2.
I rode with the dude yesterday to Boca Chica which is teeming with black Dominicans. I say this because the look that I seem to see as a majority in Santo Domingo is that light skinned black look with the Indian hair (which these guys seem to love dearly). Regular black look is second and then dark skinned and white, I don't see as much of. Remember however, that I am in the heart of Santo Domingo and not in the uppity areas so I can only speak on what I see. Now the fact that I listed a certain minority which I might insert myself into doesn't mean that if you are black, jet black or white you will experience issues because I don't believe you will. I met a couple of white Nordic lizards a few nights ago (one blonde and one brunette) walking along the street very late at night. They had no fears. The blonde shot a quick glance at me as I walked by and I noticed she was stopped later on by <to be discussed> who sparked up a convo with her. When I doubled back to tell the cabbie I was with where I was at, I was introduced as the guy from London and I was a bit surprised to hear the Nordic blonde with a very clear English accent. We made arrangements to meet a couple of days later.
In Boca Chica, after my massage (see below) and some persuasion, I went in the water which had floating algae everywhere. The water was slightly cold to begin with but got a lot warmer and very comfortable afterwards. I got over the concern of things floating up to me as it was so dark I could hardly see at some point.
I got a beach massage from some dark skinned Dominican women who had their hands roaming all over me, mumbling stuff in Spanish that my brain said 'Fcuk it, don't watch that' to. They took my top off and I almost felt like a bitch getting undressed by some smooth talking mack. One of the women had her hands under my shirt to begin with, working out the knots in my traps and my upper back. The other one pitched in and started to work my skull and my waist. Thoughts of sex momentarily fired across my perverted mind but these lizards were solid 4s and I wanted to see what later on would bring as I had worked out with <to be revealed> that would be hitting a spot in the hood. These days, I am very picky about wasting my semen and I'd rather hold out than hit anything moving.
Right now, I am in my hotel room, letting my legs recover from all the dancing to dembo and bachata from last night. I was powered by the whisky and 911 energy drink. I was with good peoples. There is a smile on my face as I write this.
Glossary:
Wahala = A whole consortment of noise and commotion
Yo soy de Ingleterra = I am from England
Good peoples = Urban slang that pluralises a word that is already plural,
turning the noun 'people' into 'peoples'
Cabbie = Taxi/Cab driver
Noob = A shorten version of the word 'newbie' meaning a total
beginner to whatever the direct object of the sentence is.
