Prices for Sosua chicas
I have been visiting Sosua on and off since 2008 and I have seen a fluctuation in attitudes as well as prices. Below is an excerpt of a conversation from a Sosua veteran who is an ex colleague of mine and he knows better.
Of course it is his vacation and he has a right to do what ever he wants to do with his money. The problem I see is that paying a person the equivalent of a months salary in the Dominican Republic for a nights work (and sometimes it's not work because all they want to do is sleep) has tainted the pool and created unreasonable expectations.
I rarely frequent Sosua unless friends are in town, on one occasion I was in Merengue negotiating for a friend of mine and offered a chic 4500 pesos for TLN or ($100.00). She said she wasn't going to do TLN for that price walked away and within 15 minutes she was walking out the door with someone else. In all honesty I have no idea what agreement they made the point is there was a time when chics would do TLN all day every day for 3000 pesos.
My how times have changed...
