This week’s photo for the ‘Only in the DR’ post was contributed by Elizabeth Silfa, one of my pupils of the Abraham Lincoln School, who graduated this year.

I must admit that the photo itself isn’t exactly thrilling but what it is, is truely unbelievable – described by Elixabeth as ‘El que lleva una laptop al cine,’ which literally means ‘he (or rather the man) that takes his laptop to the cinema.’ So this man is in the cinema presumably to relax and enjoy a movie, whilst at the same time doing something on his laptop. WHY? What on earth was he doing?

I must say Elizabeth, although I am grateful for the photo, you should have gone and had a look, I definitely would have done – just before I would have told him to turn it off. Not only is this ridiculous, but it’s also rude!

But seriously what was he doing? Here are some options:

1. Working. This seems like the most obvious, but really? Reading the comments on this photo on Elizabeth’s Facebook, this is what most people seemed to think he was doing – one person even seemed to admire this guys dedication to his work. I say, LOSER!

2. Facebook. If we’re not working, then we’re on Facebook. Maybe he just had to update his Facebook status: “At cinema, watching a great movie and using my laptop, thats the way I roll…LOL”

There are endless other options, but whatever he was doing, he most definitely shouldn’t have been – someone call the cinema police and get this weirdo out of here!

Many thanks to Elizabeth for this GREAT photo!
