I have to post this as I was in utter shock yesterday. While loading my car in the lot at la Sirena (actually a friend was loading as I am still not very mobile) a young Dominican came along in his very beat up truck and struck the rear hatch of my RAV4 along with hitting my friend's arm. He stopped and came up to see what had happened. The door showed no physical damage but was knocked out of line and could no longer be cloesd. He did in true Dominican fashion and tried to blame my fieinds arm for the damage. But he hung around to fill out a report with the security at la Serina. Of course he had no current lic or insurance but hey this is the DR. He then told us that he was a ''Christian" and he would take care of everything. He asked us to follow him to a repair place. The first one (Torfilco) was closed for lunch so we went to a place on the main highway that only repaired car doors and windows. Thirty minutes later we were out of there with a perfectly working door and the young man paid for the repairs and asked for our forgiveness and that he was sorry.
He is also a wood worker and we now going to use him for some door repairs around the house.
I was amazed and walked away from this accident with a smile and a new "worker".
I thought with all the negative stuff that one ususally finds here it was a pleasant suprise to experience this.
