I now know how the selection process works for guachimen.

I arrive this morning on my push-bike at the gate of a famous Sosua gated community this morning to go see a friend playing tennis.

Me: "I'm going to the tennis courts".

Guachie:"This gate is not to be used. Use the main gate."

Me: "Why are you here then?"

G: "To look after this gate"

Me: "So this gate doesn't take me to the tennis courts?"

G: "Yes"

Me:"But the main gate is 2 Km further along the dangerous main road."

G: Shrug

Me:"So I could use this gate to get to the tennis courts safely and easily but it's not allowed?"

G: "Yes"

Me:"So what's stopping me going through then? It's open"

G:"That's why I'm here."

So, game, set and match!
I was defeated!

Hate to say it but a donation might have allowed you to entry or maybe your friend could make arrangements for next time. You can't reason with Dominican logic.

Social commentary aside...I really like that movie. Might be time to watch it again.

There was no problem getting in. I've lived here long enough to know how the world works.

I just enjoyed the logical process.....

A push-bike is just an ordinary bike which you usually have to push before you get on it. See Google.

So .. Guard was doing what he was told to do and OP is mad that he wasn't worth enough to the guard to disobey his orders to not allow anyone into the gate?

Maybe you interrupted his nap!A guachiman is basically someone you pay to nap in your place. A friend told me that she and her sis came home once from a party and their guachi was sleeping. They woke him up with a lullaby.
