The cops towed my friends car from the front of jolly rogers yesterday...why.....welll don't cha know the curb is painted yellow!....doesn't matter that the other one over there is green, some blue marks on another and one that says EDUARDO on it.......suddenly they are doing things like normal people and we are all supposed to respond in the ordinary way....its kinda disorienting.
There is no no parking sign and there were plenty other cars there when we arrived...and I wonder why that block and not the next or next?
As it turned out we had to pay $1000 RD for the parking ticket (unlike the little dominican muchacha said on the sidewalk $300 RD) We had to take a bike way up the hill high speed after the car and then they fined her another $1000 RD because she had been in the country longer than 90 days and that means her UK liscence is no longer valid here........can't get a liscence if you do not have residency.....can't apply for residency right now because the office is overloaded and is not taking any applications...only option....return to the UK and come back so the exact same liscence will be valid for another 90 days!
Then they would not let her take her car to go to the bank to pay the fines., she had to go to the bank pay the fines come back show the receipt to be allowed to take the car but there was no way to get there cause the AMET office is too far to walk and no conchos around.....but what luck......a haitian lady with a motor bike hangs out there and if you give her the money and a tip she will go pay it for you...
My friend was so mad I think If I had not been there she would have attempted to just get in the car and leave and ended up in jail. We were at La Vacha having pizza.........the most expensive pizza I had ever had......$2250 RD!
So watch out for those yellow curbs kids.......its real time America comin on!
