i was actually pissed on my last trip because it took me three days to find a shoeshine boy.
i used toget my shoes cleaned/shined every day, by the same two kids. this trip, it took three days to find one, and thankfully it was one of my two regulars.
i am not bothered at all by shop sellars, beggars, street kids, etc... the beggars i just no and keep walking. the street kids, i just say no and keep walking. with the xception of a few.. i NEVER throw away my leftovers at a restaurant. i always get them to go and give them to a few select street kids.
i've never had any issues with politure or hustlers :confused:
the vibe in sosua is what i enjoy, and why i keep going back. if that vibe changes, thats what will cause me to move on elsewhere.
lots of guys talk about santiago and puerto plata and santo domingo.
been there, not interested. i like the small beach town feel. not interested in santiago at all. and certainly not santo domingo. if anything i would check out boca chica, but i know it isnt the same feel as sosua. having a beach, doesnt make it a small beach town.
