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!
