After my latest encounter with a north american in sosua beach, I am beginning to understand better why some people attract to a certain type of location and people in general. Now I do understand some people live in tourist resort location to retire and live a perfectly decent life and associate with normal respectable folks and others run businesses in resort areas to make a living. I am not talking about these folks. I am talking about tourists who come here, fall in love with street whores and end up getting into troubles in some time there-after. It became apparent to me that not all folks are totally innocent who fall for these types of women.
I was in sosua beach recently, minding my own business. There was a dominican family resting next to my beach chair. I paid no interest and not talked to them. When I came back from a swim, I saw a Canadian sitting with them. This is when I had realized that the younger woman was his girlfriend and the older lady was the aunt. Now the younger woman was not so young either, she had a few grown up kids around her. The gringo was basically a bit tipsy and in festive mood. He didn't seem too polished from his looks as he had a beer in his hand and seemed some-what drunk. He was trying to speak spanish and spoke some handy words. He then turns to me and asked me if I was a tourist. I told him of my status in this country. He then started to talk to me with greater interest. then he comments on how well I speak spanish and etc. Then all of the sudden he turn the conversation around and hits me with a joke. I was under the weather a bit and I was sneezing. He jokingly accuses me of doing lines (snorting cocaine). I basically laughed it off but then he comes back and tells me that he does coke every now and then. So again I showed no interest. Then he goes on to tell me he doesn't do it often but when he is on vacation and finds a good looking hooker whom he likes to be with, he gets drunk and then goes out to barrios to look for coke.
This is when I told him on dangers of getting busted in this country and possibly getting thrown in a dungeon. He tells me, he is aware of all this and this is why he lets his dominican hooker friends get him some coke. he wanted to talk more in to details on these issues and also mentioned how he got deported from another latin country for getting involved in some serious offense with his friends. At this point, I packed up, said goodbye to him and left.
So now when we hear how some expats and tourists getting mugged,killed and thrown in jail, just remember, there might be another side of story to what you hear in the news and from people.
