16/10 the rate was 32.50 in Boca Chica

[WSJ3]

I hope it keeps going up.

[Macky]

I hope it stabilizes someplace, anyplace, and stays there. These fluctuations have really messed us up. What does it work out to for a beer these days in Sosua, two or three bucks? Jeez, I can buy a beer in a local ripoff strip joint 5 minutes from where I live for 5 bucks. Some of those meals I was enjoying at Morua Mai would be 10 to 15 bucks now, with a drink or two. Fuck. I can eat at a mind boggling buffet here in the US for less than that. I know, I know, we can afford it but shit, it's a third world country and we pay US prices? Just bugs me. Maybe it bugs me a little more than others because from south florida the usual airfares to POP are a few hundred bucks more than the flights from NYC, so I feel ripped off before I have even left the ground.

Just had to blow off a little steam.

Well my French Toast coffee and internet was 120 pesos at Rockies, which is $3.60. Thats still a bargin.

The DR is still a great place to go. Hell, the prices in the tourist areas, anywhere in the world, are always higher than normal anyway. That's the way it is. Unbelievable how cheap things can get outside of those areas. In Chiang Mai, TL, I treated my GF and three of her friends to appetizers, dinners and drinks in her home neighborhood for only a little bit more than what I had been spending on a small steak dinner for me alone back in the tourist area.

That reminds me, gotta check the restaurant board for a good place to eat in Los Charamicos.

[psriches]

will i get better rates if i exchange money at the airport upon arrival in sosua?

[cremaconpalo]

NEVER exchange ANY kinda money at ANY airport...they'll clip you bad!

[MisterPink]

That's not true.
Why do I get a better exchange rate @ Ban Reservas in SDQ then?
I guess I got "clipped" with an extra 1.5 RD Pesos/Dollar.
You are fine buying $100 worth of Pesos @ any airport.

[cremaconpalo]

Sorry, my bro, but that has not been my experience at all! (Sounds better than "That's not true", doesn't it?)...ya ya ya ya ya ya...Is too true, bro!

Maybe you have some connection with Ban Reservas in SDQ...how the fuck should I know? I'm talking about changing money at airports in general (including in D.R.), and that has not been my experience at all: 1.5 pesos SHORT is more like it.

Rough day at the office, bro? I feel ya... it's cool. LOL

Anyone else?

WOW! 19 trips! I'm impressed! No wonder you call yourself "Master Traveler"! But then again, it didn't take me that long to figure things out in D.R., either! LOL

Anyone else out there have similar experience?

In the 7 trips I've taken, never ONCE has the airport been able to best or even equal what I got "en la calle"!

Guess I've got a lot to learn! Will you teach me, "Master Traveler"? LOL

I's all good, bro.

BOYS!!! Can't we all just get along?! You certainly don't want to change ALL of yer USDs anywhere, given the change in values. But, the airport is a great seed money start for those who don't bring back pesos. And I usually bring back about 100usd in pesos so i have whoring money no matter how late i arrive next trip.

[continentalmike]

About airport Exchange rate...

I tried to buy myself some presents at the airport (and for the quitie I met there) but had a lot of pesos and no dollars (I'm from Europe).

1) All prices in tax-free are in dollars, you can pay in euro's at a 1:1 rate (shaving 10-15% off the euro rate)

2) You can pay in pesos after haggling but at 45:1, at that time the peso was 28:1 so almost doubling their prices.

I just looked at the receipt laughed and told them to charge it to my CC

[Reel Deal]

Hey Reel Deal, how come you passed up the "golden opportunity" to chage your $ at STI? LOLThe street rate in Sosua was 32.00. What would you have done?

Lechero,

I agree with you 100%. On one trip I changed $US200 at the airport.

Later that same day in the capital the rate was 1.5 RD pesos lower per

dollar. If I am not bringing pesos back with me I'll change 100 or 200 at

the airport for pocket money.

Happy Hunting,

You will not get the best rate at the airport and you can always exchange the money at the hotel that you are staying at.

Hope this helps.

You can pay $15 US for a cab from POP to Sosua.

You can change into $RD at Judy's Cambio.
SUPER SUPER Liquor store also pays a great rate....right near Europa Hotel. If it's late night, the Cigar store right past Harrisons pays a decent rate as well, and has good cheap cigars. I stay clear of the guys changing on the street unless you know one. They do a three card monty with the big bills and little bills!

$RD32/$USD right now

[Reel Deal]

First trip, exchange a few bucks at the airport just to have something in your pocket. 2-3 peso's difference is a small price to pay to have the local currency if you need it.

After that, on subsequent trips, TAKE 2-3000 pesos with you so you have something to work with arriving, and then exchange your money at better rates away from the airport.

[cremaconpalo]

Occasional airport scam: When you de-plane, if it comes time to search your luggage, one guy might try to stand in front of you and try to question/talk to you to distract you while the guy behind the counter is opening your bag: Ignore the putz standing in front of you, step around him if you have to, but DON't take your eyes off the guy going through your bag! Fukkin' theivin' bastards are quick and will rob you in a NY minute if you give them 1/2 a chance. Pay 'em a bribe ($5-$10 if YOU want to, but NOT recomended).

Tell the guy that tries to grab your bag "no, gracias" 25 times in a row without stopping (or until he gives up) and just keep walking with it.

Regarding "changing $ on the street"...A guy named "Titti Frutti" is OK (cell: 494-0411), but always got a better rate from "Santiago" (casa: 571-1646)...Did 2K in Feb. @50+:1 with him...no "3 card monty" here...Everyone counts 3 times. And don't be afraid to squeeze these guys. They're used to it. Make believe you are negotiating with a chica! LOL

No "administration" is going to stabilize the D.R.'s economy...all that talk is just posturing and lip service (i.e. "politics"): The true goal is to amass as much money for your retirement as you can during your term, and then toss the "bitch" (the "economy", if you will) to the next politico in line for the job.

El D, I have to agree with ya on this one. Especially since I always stay for either two or three weeks, this starts adding up real fast.
I used to just buy a lot of girls beers without even thinking about it. Don't do that anymore. I'm more selective. Plus in the morning I just go to the panaderia for getting breakfast instead of a restaurant. And I don't go out to eat anymore every night. Sometimes I just get chicken or something from one of the stands.
Brazil is getting more attractive this way.....but i'm afraid I would miss the whole social thing of just hanging out and shooting the shit with the girls and the other mongers there. Colombia would be better than cos they speak spanish, but I'm worried about crime there.

The exchange rate (Dollar to Pesos) seems to be holding steady at about 32 to 32.5, at least during the last few weeks. On my last trip the rate was about 48.5. Would that mean that the current short time, which was 1000, should now be 600-700? That would make TLNs now 1000?

Happy Hunting,
