    Great info indeed, I've had great times on my short visits to Santiago and knew nothing of these places. Looking forward to checking some of them out.

    Gracias, y saludos.

    Even the cop sat down for a game of dominoes this night. There is always the same group of men out. They drink and play there dominoes, They have always been friendly and never ask for anything. One of them ones the lottery place and the barbershop. They are many working class women around. But Also tons of young girls more than eager to meet up. However they all move very secretively. Having a car made it very easy to move around the neighborhood all day.

    I spent a day with a guy who is on Santome day and night. He introduced me to everybody. His phone was blowing every place we left with girls asking to hook me up with them. Usually a few drinks and 1000 pesos was more than enough.

    In Alberto Suites you can now do short stay for 300 pesos. It was perfect.

    My drinking hole of choice for years and years.

    When I was going there, the widow of the owner still ran the money box. She was in her 80's back then. I'd stop there after work everyday before I'd pick up my "chica of the day"

    They had a back room for men to drink and smoke cigars that was off limits to women. I never saw one in there out of the hundreds of times I went.

    If a girl went there with a guy, she had to stay in the front if he went in the back to hang out. For that reason, you'd never see many girls in the place.

    Notice the coolers? They had (Have?) a process for moving bottles of beer from one progressively colder cooler than the previous cooler until they arrived at the sub zero cooler. Every time they served a beer, it would trigger a procession of beers being moved from one cooler to the next.

    Beers came out of that last cooler "vestida de novia" and were known to be the coldest beers in the city.

    They were also known for their "Quipes". Big suckers, full of meat, cheap. No other fried stuff, just Quipes.

    Lots of great memories of that place.

    PUEBLO NUEVO........ Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Definately is not for everyone, As Uncle Ruckas has stated, and I have to agree. Its quite dangerous and would not be irresponsible to make it sound like its safe for members to go.

    Im glad someone else has been there. Its cool to hear about it from someones first hand expierance, especailly from years ago. Women are now allowed in the back. But beer was freezing. Id recommend it to anyone!

    I am sure There are good hospitals in The capital. However I know there are two good hospitals in Santiago. One is HOLMS. Its the best in the country! Quite possibly the best in latin America according to wiki..

    Another Hospital in Santiago is named Union Medica.


    http://clinicaunionmedica.com/

    They do take credit cards. This is very important in an emergency. In DR no payment, no treatment. Also, if you have the empire blue cross blue shield card they may except it. I amm enrolled in the Blue card world wide. It covers you in emergencies. Some of the card are white and say blue card world wide. My card was blue. It did not say they. So, they would not accept it. However, when I was home I submitted a bill for 7,200 us. I was refunded 6,000. So, I was Happy. Down side was it took almost 2 months to get the refund

    They have different types of rooms. You can get a simple room with a bed and a shower. Or a bigger room with a bed and a small couch, they even had rooms that were like suites. Prices were like 2500-4000. or somewhere in that area.

    There is a nice mall across the street , and bella terra mall is about a block away on the same street. Plenty of good eats around. If you know where KFC, and Mcdonalds are in Santaigo under the highway, the hospital is right there.

    I appreciate the info on Blue Cross/Blue Shield ... they're an option with the Federal Employees' Health Benefits program. I'm currently with Kaiser Permanente, under FEHB, and they gave me more hassle than it was worth about covering my two-night stay at Centro Medico Cabarete, back in March 2014. (It was only a few hundred dollars, not like your Santiago hospital bill, Tgunz.)

    Looking into BC/BS now ... and I may switch over, come the next Open Season.
