Re: on the second thought...
AZB: How can you generalize like that? How can you say there's not one classy person in Cotui?
I've been trying to lead you to see the error of your ways, but it's proving a bit hard. Can't you see the contradiction in your own statements? You talk about the "elite" and the white people of Santiago all the time, but like Tony C. pointed out, that's a circle you will never be a part of, then why try to pretend that you're like them. I found out long ago that the people who constantly talk about what they have or who they hang out with are those who actually have very little. The people who have always been rich never talk about it and are actually very discreet. Not that I am one myself, but believe me I talk to some super rich people on a regular basis - Cause of my line of work. (I'm not talking about Dominican rich, I'm talking about US rich) People who are worth USD 500 million+ and it's amazing how humble and umpretentious these people are.
I could actually pretend that I'm part of the elite and could probably pull it off. My family on both sides had quite a bit of money at one time and I've been called white more than a few times, BUT that's just not what I'm interested in. I could care less about the so called elite and where they hang out. To me most of them are just part of that group of parasites that are sucking the life out of the country with their support of corrupt government and institutions (But that's another topic)...
So my friend...I DO want you to show me these "elite" places that you talk so much about...The "real" town. Let's get together one of these days when I visit the DR...BUT before we make it to these places we should stop by Kelvin's Carwash (You talk so much about it, that I want to go there) for a beer or two...Just in case they don't let me into these places.
