Golo right on the money.
"They even use "trensitas" done at the beach by "cueros". " Golo
LOL golo, that was a good line, made me laugh so loud in my office.
Golo is 100% correct in his sankie / chopo/a assessment. Most of the euro/american women won't be caught dead with those chopo sankies in their own home town; they would be labeled for life there. Like we say: "you show me who you hang out with and I will tell you who you are..."
Most upper society dominican girls simply laugh at the sankies and the foreign women they hang out with. These upper society folks want nothing to do with sankies or the tourists. This easter holiday will take almost all the santiageros to the north coast, most poor / middle class folks will end up in playa dorada's cheap all inclusive hotels while the rich will end up in 5 star resorts in various part of the country. Yes, they can afford 150 dolllars per day / per person for 4 days. These middle class girls might consider a cute "young" foreigner but the upper society girls won't even look at any foreigners let alone a sankie.
Decent dominican girls Look down upon sankies and sankies know better to stay clear of their way.
Just try talking to a sankie, he knows only about sports, dancing and drinking; nothing else in life that matters to him except getting money out of you.
sankies are only reserved for the unwanted type foreign women who so desperately seek attention. Don't forget girls, you didn't actually pick up a sankie he has selected you. They look for women of your type. Then many cute young naive girls hook up with the entertainment employees who give them private lessons in merengue and then end up in the sack with them. These poor girls think they have found the perfect boyfriend who is strong looking with good dancing skills, but what they don't know is that its about all they will get from him.
Having seen all that on daily bases while I lived 2 years in puerto plata (and many years of traveling in DR) I am not amazed to read on this forum how many girls fall for the perfect sankie. I even saw a picture of a few sankies (or ex sankies) in the media gallery. Like we say "there is a sucker born every minute".
Tomorrow I will be on my way to spend 4 days in the sun in various parts of the north coast. Wait for my posting when I will return; hope i will have plenty of stories to tell about sankies in action.
sorry..couldn't resist
