The breakfast was actually really good! I had an omelet with spinach, mushrooms, onions, and a spicy sausage. And I believe that my discount will be honoured. But I'm not sure the poor sales people will get their commission.
In order to "qualify" for these presentation, you have to meet certain criteria, including earning a certain income and be staying on the island for no more than 2 weeks. Dina and Marco knew that i didn't meet either of these criteria, so they invented my information for me. They told me which hotel I'm staying at, my arrival and departure date, my income, etc. It's all a game. They even have a deal with the hotel i was supposed to be staying at, so if the timeshare people call, the hotel will say "yes, she's a guest here".
It all went well until the end of the sales pitch at the timeshare place. My main sales guy, Che, had no reason to doubt my story. I think i lied pretty well. But, when the "closer" came to try to convince me to buy, it was a different story. The closer was a guy named Steve. I had actually met him a couple of nights ago when I had the lion fish with Carl...When Steve saw me this morning, he didn't say a word about recognizinf me. But when I said "no, I'm not buying because my job is insecure", he said "I guess I believe you, i met another canadian who used to work for the government but she actually lost her job and is now working part time and studying part time".
I didn't admit that that person was me. I kept to my story. What could i do? But, I think he knew....

1) the equivalent of a chip truck. only it's a bicycle and it's breakfast!
2) the view at sunset from the blue angel hotel. non-guests are welcome to lounge by the pool and swim if they buy something to drink or eat. they aren't pushy, it's not too far, it has a very pretty bathroom, so i like it there
3) my school work buddy
