ha ha ha
you never get it refunded,
they put it in your 'Bill' and you get it deducted on your next Ticket.
you should better have agreed to donate the 2 euro bucks,
denying so put you on the black list,
where ever stopped for what ever reson the guys will know that you've been "taca?o", ha ha ha.
and hey,
Big several hundred pounds per piece Fishie On mean's "Rock'N'Roll" Baby,
specially in a business grown up with mostly US American Customers,
even that myself since a decade or so often personally prefers a good ole fashioned Country Music over a heavy speaker Metal,
what doesn't mean that you don't hear me from far when Garth Brooks let's ya know about his Friends in low places, lol.
and the last years it is anyways more and more taken over by very sympatic and more smooth Canadian Customers,
that large but Tiny populated Country is actually the Mayor Player in PC Turism.
a very nice Crowd.
no more speed Tickets,
and specially not due 'too loud music' in the Car, not existing, lol.
we are on Island Time now,
you have around a Year down here, right?,
so it's time to get used to it:
the highest high beam get's the Road,
who doesn't have a spare bottle of cold beer handy when stopped by the Cops 3AM is a Looser,
you arrive during a Holiday Weekend on the Public Macao Beach and nobody 'heard' You before they saw your Car, that meaans you are still just a Gringito.
at the Colmadon some Drunk talks dirty to you or your Mrs and your Dog aside did not bite right away His Azz, that's bad Dog Breed,
or as a actual example, happened 2 nights ago right here in Cabeza de Toro Town, a 2 weeks ago arrived and since then permanently drunk spaniard arrived in Town, I sit late afternoon with my Austrian Buddy at the Colmadon on our 2nd Pequenita Light of the Day, after he been lucky to survive some really not appropriate talking to some locals who been on their way from their work at the excursions here to the Bus back home to Higuey, he started to name Us some %$@# ruling the streets Bast$$$$, but just a talker, even that he always tried to 'grab' but failed due missing Balance, when we ordered the 3rd Beer at our often frequented street place the Politur showed up(later on the owner of the Colmadon told me he called them) and handcuffed him to have a good nights sleep before somebody would hurt him seriously, lolol.
I saw him again yesterday eraly morning there, fresh shaved, and hey, surprise, he even changed clothes, and again today when we came back from Higuey and grabbed a beer(same changed clothes from the prior day, lol), he politely moved out and looked for an other seat when we came in near 'his' place, darn, Espania, El Dolor de Cabeza del caribe,
just a few examples of ""Adapting to the Isle"",
like Cobraboy mentioned.
in each part of the world things are like they are,
you should never come with the intention to change them,
just get part of the locally present life,
bring in some positives from Own back home good ole back in the day Education,
enjoy it in full where ever you can,
and forget about thinking of the hints and kinks when we are aged 90.
think all at it's appropriate Time.
to think about the 90's is IMHO appropriate to take care of when 89.99 ahead.
