First stop was the cambio. I went to a different cambio because the one I normally visit is on the second floor of a store and I didn’t want to be bothered with two flights of steps. I noticed above the cambio, in the corner is the Dekal Internet Cafe & Bistro. It’s on my list of places to try. Thought about going up after I finished taking care of business but remembered I didn’t want to be bothered with steps so I’ll save that for a day when I’m not feeling so lazy.
I had the nicest teller wait on me in that cambio. I’m used to slipping my money & passport in the well under the Plexiglas divider, straining to hear whatever the teller is saying to me, retrieving my exchange then leaving with a quick thank you. But this teller was very social which made me not regret trying someplace new.
“Count your money…count your money…count your money now before you left the window.”
I did as told and it was all there.
Digicel store was next. I could tell the wait was going to be a long one. Boy did I hate being in that store. The AC was nice, but I don’t enjoy standing in lines no matter how comfortable the place is or the reason. Thank goodness I had my music and a decent set of ear buds. Twenty-two minutes later it’s finally my turn. I want to purchase your cheapest phone. The associate left the counter, went to the back and came back with a little black box. It didn’t matter what the thing looked like I’ll take it so I could leave that store. He showed it to me. I said it’s fine…I’ll take it.
Another 17 minutes later I walk out with a new phone. Once I got to the car and gave it a good look, I really liked it. Called momz immediately so she’ll have the new number. Went to voice mail but left the details.
