If Dominicans had been much smarter, lesser annoying , more trustful and steal lesser, would they earned more money from me.
My experiences with Caribbean people ans special Dominicans is that they want money fast in as short time and not more money in a longer term..
Let start with this street vendors and the shops on the way to Sosua beach, that it has been some threads about lately.
A few times has I bought some thing from them..
First must you use a lot of time to negotiate the price with them, only when you pretend to walk away, will I get a normal price. many times have they started with a price like 1500 peso and I end up with paying 500 peso for the product. Like the watch I now buy in a store in Charamico for 350 peso, that they ask first for 1500 peso and I paid 500 peso for in the street.( have lost some cheap watches here lol..)
Many times I pass this shops and street vendors would I like to go in a look around and maybe buy something, but if you walk in their store will they never leave you in peace. They will never take No for a answer and will follow you out in the street and of course will they remember you next time you pass by and then annoy every time you pass by. I once tried a pant from one of this Haitian girls that sell them in the street, but it was not right size. Now they remember me and promise they have other pants that will fit me.. I try to explain I bought pants another place and dont need more pant, but they never take NO for a answer...
Think if this shops could let you walk in their store and you could look around by yourself and dont be annoyed by them, would I maybe bought more from them. And think if they could had normal price tags on their product, so you dont have to bargain and argue about the price all the time.
The Motochono
Wherever I walk , will they always ask you to go with them.
A normal day will around 10 to 20 motochono ask you go with them, and even want to take me to Cabarete.
Hey, I am not blind... try I to explain to them . I will ask them if I need their service..
I have now several times tried to send a motochono to a restaurant to buy some food for me.
Like the hamburger at New cafe or a sandwich from the Cuban restaurant. I have eaten in this places before, so I know how the Hamburger and sandwiches look. And I give them 100 peso for bring me the food.
But they always try to foul me. And buy a cheaper hamburger or sometimes else in a cheaper kiosk or place.
Food that never cost the 200 peso I send with them.
My Rocky breakfast to 160 peso, was once a simple egg and some pommes fries, nothing more....
Once I got a Hamburger without the top bun, and this hamburger was not from New cafe, maybe he eat the top bun before he delivered it..Hamburgers has been sandwiches and opposite. chicken wings has been pork sandwich.. etc...
Where I live is it more and less 5 to 6 regular motochonos, lets say I could trust them and used them every day. would they earned 3000 peso in month.
Of course I never used them anymore, so they fouled me a few times and earned maybe 80 to 100 peso by fouling me, stupid when they could earn much more money if I had used them every day.
The girls...
I would like to have a girlfriend or some kind of a steady relationship..
But that is difficult too...
Very often they steal or try to steal from me, money or things,, even stole my toothpaste once..lol.
Or they start to make trouble in your room and hotel, even that we had agree about the price and everything in advance...
It was one girl from Puerto Plata , that I meet in Sosua, I liked her very much..
First time we took a motochono to my hotel, but suddenly could she not be with me, since her son was sick and she had to go home to him. I give her 200 peso to transport...when I 30 minutes later visited Caprini, was she sitting there and drinking beer..lol.. Next time she wanted to come with me, wanted she the money in advance... hahaha,.. I went home alone.
For some stupid reasons gave I her another chance.
We had agreed about the price and everything in advance, but when she should leave my room , she suddenly want much more money and started to scream and crying and told the owners of my hotel that I had not give her any money. To get ride of her the owner of my hotel gave her 500 peso, that of course I paid back to the owner.... this girl was a good actor...
Funny later, she still want to be with me when I meet her in the city
I told her are your stupid, do you think I could take you back to my hotel, where you made a lot of problems !!
Seriously, I liked her in the beginning and could maybe had some kind of relationship with her , maybe been with her a few times every week.
Very often I see her in the city , and in 3 of 4 times will she go home alone, without any clients...
Think of how much she could earned with have some kind of steady relationship with me ???
I have meet other girls too, that are to either greedy or will make problems later, girls i could had a relationship with..
My experience is that the major has scared away many girls, that before visited Sosua..More trustful girls.. so I think there much more bad girls left now..
Often has girl I have meet on my way into the city asked me to accompany to the Classico, so police will not disturb them.
I have also talked with Dominican girls on Internet and ask if they will visit Sosua. Many say NO.. will not risk to walk in Pedro Cliantes and be arrested and accused for be a hooker..
In one way have I give up girls in this town, safer and lesser problems..
As I said in the headline , if Dominican had been smarter would they got much money from me..
Maybe a little to long post and little negative, but wanted to share some of my frustration with you..
Thanks..:classic:
