Exactly when you think you have seen and heard it all in DR, all of the sudden you are shown something stranger than fiction.
I was sitting home, trying to fix my corrupted windows xp. It was a calm saturday early afternoon in santiago, my door was open. I hear some kid calling me out in a nervous voice. I go out the door to see there are 2 kids outside my metal main gate asking me if I have seen a gallena (chicken) running in my backyard. I told him I have not heard or seen any chicken running over my grass. He insisted in desperation that I would go and check my backyard. I had more important things to do than look for a escaped chicken. In any case I went out and took a brief look and assured the kids there was no chicken running around in my backyard. The kids leave and I sit back down in front of my PC. Then I hear commotion outside, a bunch of people calling out other neighbors asking for the chicken in loud voices. Then after 10 minutes, the group come to my home again. This time, an older man requested me to take a good look in my backyard to see if there is a chicken anywhere. Now I have had it with the stupid chicken saga. I told the man, I have taken a look and I have not localized any stupid chicken anywhere. Then I assured him, if the chicken was , indeed, in my backyard, it must have gone somewhere else. The man nervously tells me the chicken can't get far as its bleeding and headless. What??? headless? WTF!!!!!
He tells me in detail that his younger son was told to kill the chicken for lunch but as the kid was cutting the head off, the chicken, some-how, escaped his hands and flew away almost without a head. It flew over the wall and outside of their shack into houses in my street. These people are squatters who have build shacks in the back-street (callejon) of my house. So the chicken could have landed in the backyard of 3 houses (including mine). The family was pressured to catch the chicken before some dog gets a hold of it or it simply dies somewhere from excessive bleeding. I am not sure if they ever found their headless chicken but I was relieved to see it did not enter my home and landed on my sofa.
Then I was on autopista duarte in front of HOMS hospital; stopped on a red light. From the side of my vision I see an angry girl (barrio type) jump out of a taxi (concho type car) and slam the door close. Upon closer look, it seemed like a fight between a couple and she had decided to get out of his car on the highway and walk. When she slammed the door so hard, the door actually opened up again. The guy inside closed the door and yelled at her, she didn't respond and kept walking. Then all of the sudden the man accelerates his concho car and boom hits the woman who falls down. Yikexxxx. To my shock, she simply gets up and starts to walk away as nothing happened. He gets out and grabs her by hair and pushes her in the car and drives away. She didn't fight him, just sat there looking out the window.
I was left there staring at all this with an open mouth, not knowing what to say. Just imagine and compare this treatment with the treatment expats offer to the same girls. hahahaha.
