So I'm just sitting here watching a movie and heard what sounded like coconut shells banging off a tin roof.
First of all you might hear a coconut bang off a tin roof now and then, but not three in a row.. EVER!
Second the sound came from the side of my one neighbor that has no trees close to his house, so I went downstairs and asked what the noise was.
I hear a lot of screaming and crying and shouting next door so after being told by my father in law it was gunshots, I just guessed my neighbor (Scottish dude) got shot by his in laws.
Someone had already gone for the Barangay Police that finally showed up about 1/2 hour later, and it turns out it was the uncle of my neighbor that lives there also as a grounds keeper arguing with his wife, and decided to drop a few shots at her feet in the dirt to shut her up.
Here is what gets me... the Village police, do not carry guns, but knock on their gate to see what is going on.
This is the only people in our whole village that live behind a tall concrete wall so no one can see in there.
They are told he (uncle that lives with them) was just drunk, and asleep now, so no problems.
No one bothers to go in to even look for any bodys, and leave thinking all is ok and well.
WTF!? :island14:
The four village police I ran into out by the main street, told me nothing was wrong, no big deal and were on their way home. So I invited them over for a bottle of Rhum, a few of them are still downstairs drinking. :D
Soooo I guess around here it is ok to shot at your wife as long as you don't hit her and no one cares :island14:
I do know that you might not get off so easy back in the US of A :yesnod:
Never mind I guess, none of my business, but find it a bit disturbing having gun shots next door when I have 4 kids here.
Luckily they have that huge concrete wall to block shots I guess..
They are pretty much outsiders here, Scot dude is married to a girl from Leyte, and some of her family from there also live with them as helpers, they stay inside their walls, do not mix with the locals here, and the Scot dude always drinks in town with the other expats only.
I'm heading back downstairs to have a few drinks, going to a disco in another village later tonight, will check back to hear your guys thoughts on this in the morning, or if I'm sober enuff and have internet tonight. :datawiz:
