An Interview with Laren Gillespie

Laren is a 52-year-old Cayman resident originally from Edinburgh, Scotland. He also happens to be the downstairs neighbor of my Nana’s condo in Grand Cayman. I’ve known Laren for many years and had a feeling he’d be very knowledgeable on my topics of research. Over my recent trip to the Caymans, I had the pleasure of being able to get lunch with Laren and hear some of his thoughts.

He’s lived on the island almost 25 years now and has been able to see first-hand the changes being made around the island. Laren had originally moved to Grand Cayman in October 1998. He originally had only intended on spending two years on the island because he was thinking of Cayman more as a pit stop before moving to Australia. He had been previously working in Edinburgh for three years to train as a chartered accountant. After finding out that the process for being accepted to move to Australia could take up to three years and they’re highly selective about who they let in, he started looking into other options.

It was during that time that friends of his that he trained with in Edinburgh reached out. These friends had moved to Cayman directly after qualifying and suggested Laren move there to get started. He went with the intention of either moving on to somewhere new in a few years or returning home. He had never previously visited Cayman and was going to stay with these friends for a short while in the summer of ‘98 to kind of check things out and see if he could see himself working and living there. When Laren described his trip to visit these friends, he said he went “half on holiday, half to do a reconnaissance mission”.

Within three days, he had decided that he loved it and could totally envision his life there for two years. He talked to a few people while he was there about work and continued contact with them when returning home to Scotland. Shortly after, he had a few interviews and eventually a job offer. Within a few months, once the work visas and paperwork went through, he moved to Cayman. He ended up being in Cayman from October 1998 to 2006. That is when he returned home to Edinburgh to take care of family.

After a few years he was looking to move again, not sure where he wanted to go. That’s when an opportunity to return to Cayman came up and he returned to island for a new job opportunity. He has been in Grand Cayman ever since. What was once going to be a pitstop for Laren, ended up being his long-term home.

We then went on to talk about what Laren does for a living as a fund director in Grand Cayman. He described this by saying he “acts as an independent director on investment funds”. He also described Cayman as a “large international financial center”. Laren oversees people’s investments to make sure their money is safe. He does board meetings 3-4 times a year with the investors and the managers to go over the investments. He only takes up to thirty clients at a time so he can dedicate his time to each of those clients individually. He normally takes two or three board meetings a day and spends the rest of the day doing emails.

With his work in the financial district here in Grand Cayman, he has an insider's view on the financial state of the island and its people. We talked about the diversity of life and economy on the island. There are people from all walks of life with opposite ends of the spectrum of wealth. When I asked Laren to describe the financial status of the island and its people, he broke it down by levels for me. Starting at the top he said, “you have some very very affluent, rich people who probably don’t need to work a regular job like most of us, they’ve made their money, they’ve sold a business, whatnot, they have disposable income”. These are the people at the top of the food chain in Cayman. These people, the independently wealthy, have everything set and come there to relax, they don’t have a need to work.

Source

Laren described the next level of wealth on the island as “very affluent workers, people who are working in the professions. The legal profession is a very highly paid profession on the island. There’s a lot of lawyers, there are a lot of accountants as well because of the offshore financial industry, banking. So banking, accountants, lawyers would then tend to be the next socioeconomic there”. This was somewhat what I was expecting to hear. I was finding in my research that the island is known for their financial banking and offshore financial opportunities.

He then went on to describe the thriving tourism industry in Grand Cayman and the job opportunities that come along with that for people in the service industry. This would be the next level down for the socioeconomic statuses on island. There are many “restaurants, cafes, bars, that service people who are here on vacation”. There are also many souvenir shops and tours of the island for vacationers and those visiting from cruise ships. Going along with the service industry, Laren described the other part of that as “domestic helpers”. These are the people who work in the hotels and condos like cleaners and nannies and those who service the buildings like those working in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning).

Source

After breaking down the different levels of wealth in Grand Cayman, we talked about the population and zoning of the island. Laren described the more densely populated area as “around 7 Mile Beach and George Town. And the island, Grand Cayman, really grew up around George Town the port”. 7 Mile Beach and George Town are both very tourism oriented with all the hotels, restaurants, beaches, and stores. You can see on the map below that the west side of the island where George Town, 7 Mile Beach, and West Bay are located seem to be the more populated areas. On the opposite end, East End, the area is a lot more sparsely populated. Near George Town is the main airport and shipping ports that create a lot of business.

Source

We also talked about the development of Grand Cayman in more recent years and the changes that he’s seen on the island while living there. Laren was talking about the rate of development and what he’s seen since moving there in 1998. He said when he first moved there buildings were not permitted to be over three stories high and there are now sky scrapers rapidly going up. Around 2000 the rule switched to permitting five stories, then it went to went to seven and they are currently at a ten-story max.

(Personal photos of the high rise next to Sunset Cove)

(Personal photo of one of the new constructions)

He also mentioned a rumor that in October of this year, they may be extending the ruling to thirty stories. He explained this rush to make buildings taller because “on the 7 Mile Beach stretch there’s very little spare land. Every square inch of spare land is pretty much built on”. He described the East End as being very low lying and having a lot of vegetation, making it not great for development. In turn, the 7 Mile Beach Stretch is “significantly developed”. He said the prices for land here have increased dramatically over the past ten years due to the rush for development and expansion.

Grand Cayman was one of the few places that had a positive impact from Covid in recent years. Most places had prices of housing drop while they rose in Cayman. People were thinking of the island as a pretty safe place to live. The island took lockdown very seriously. People were isolated, cruise ships were not allowed to enter the ports, and there was a mandatory two-week quarantine in a government facility for any flights coming in. Laren said, “They still kept air bridges to the United Kingdom because of course Cayman is a British overseas territory”. For a while you had to be a Cayman resident to return to the island from overseas, there was no visitors.

There was a negative impact on the service industry in Cayman due to covid. There was no inside dining so a lot of the workers in restaurants, bars, and cafes had to return home. Now that covid is more under control, there are more workers and visitors coming back to the island.

Laren said the population is about “70-75 thousand which is split fifty-fifty, pretty much evenly, between native Caymanians or status holders and those who are here from other countries on work permits etc”.

I was able to learn a lot of valuable information about Grand Cayman and its people through my lunch with Laren. He had valuable information on the financial status of the island and what recent developments have taken place. I also got to learn more about Laren himself, his personal history, profession, and hear what his life was like a little. I’m really glad I had this opportunity to learn more about both a close family friend of mine as well as one of my favorite places in the world, Grand Cayman.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY THERE ARE NO

BLACK PLAYERS ON THE ARGENTINA TEAM

Found this article on the internet by Jude Idada

As I watched the Argentina and Iceland match today and wondered why there were no black players in the Argentinean team when other South American teams had black or biracial players, I remembered a conversation I had last year.

It was while I was on a cruise from Florida to the Grand Cayman Islands in the Caribbean.

Between an Argentinean doctor and myself, who had walked up to me during lunch one day and struck up a conversation with me.

There was no hiding the attraction.

We had bonded much to the chagrin of her three Argentinean friends.

On the deck of the ship that day, she kept going on about how she loves black men and looks forward to traveling so she can meet them.

I asked her.

"Don't you have black people in Argentina?"

She said with a matter of fact candour.

"No. Long time ago, after slavery, we killed them all."

I was taken aback.

She smiled.

And continued.

"Very bad. I am ashamed of my people. It was very systematic though. Very well thought out. First they forced most of the men to fight for Argentina against Paraguay. They knowingly sent them into battles that were poorly planned so that the Paraguay army will do for them what they couldn't themselves do. Kill the blacks. Most of them died there. The remaining of them they forced to live in this province were there was a plague. A disease that the government refused to curb so that it can also do for them what they couldn't do. Kill the blacks. The refused to set up hospitals, clinics, adequate shelter, food outlets, nothing. They created the best environment for the disease to thrive. It killed the rest of the men that had survived the war. The darker you are, the higher the chance they will send you to that place to live or to the war to die. The lighter skinned women they forced them to sleep with the white men, so that their children are biracial, then they forced the children when they grew older to sleep with white men, so that the blackness of the skin of the children became whiter and whiter until there was no longer any visibly black people seen. It was so bad that blacks fled to Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and even Paraquay where they were better treated even though not as well as they should be treated as human beings deserving full equality. Atleast those ones did not want to kill them and accepted to give them protection and a means of livelihood. As a matter of fact in Chile, there was a city called Arica where Black people were so accepted and respected that in the 1700s two black free man, one called Anzuréz were elected mayors. But the white colonial masters from Spain came six months later and nullified the elections, they were afraid of other cities giving black people too many rights. But the blacks who had found succour did not complain, they sent word for others to flee Argentina and come join them. Afterall what was cancelled elections compared to certain death?"

Then she went silent as though trying to replay the magnitude of the crime in her mind again. Then she said it in a sombre tone in order to drive it home to me.

"The ones the Argentineans did not kill through war or disease, and rape and impregnate, fled the country and ultimately we got rid of the blacks."

I listened in rising sorrow.

She continued academically.

"So although they abolished slavery in 1815 in Argentina, it continued until 1853, after that the main preoccupation of the leaders was how to get rid of the black slaves and their descendants. Our president who ruled us from 1868 to 1874, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, wrote in his diary in 1848, this was long before he became president and slavery ended that - 'In the United States… 4 million are black, and within 20 years will be 8 million…. What is to be done with such blacks, hated by the white race?' - It shows that he was already thinking of how to eliminate black people before he became President and when he became President, he succeeded."

"Didn't the world say anything?"

"No. They ignored it. I am sure most of them wanted to do the same thing but failed. At that time, they admired them. I remember when I will go to Brazil as a child, my father's friend will say in disgust as he looked at the black Brazilians - we should have had your guts and finished them off. All of them. Make Brazil white just like Argentina."

"And the Europeans?"

She laughed.

"It is an open secret, just like King Leopold and his genocide in Congo. No one talks about it, but they know about it. Atleast the older ones do. The younger ones not so much. Why do you think all the Nazis ran to Argentina after World War 2?"

I was silent.

She continued.

"Because it was the perfect place for the most evil racists in history to live."

Then she looked out to the infinitely blue sea around the ship and sighed audibly before she continued.

" Sadly, to some extent, it still is welcoming and accomodating of racial hatred. We took the Tango from the African slaves and made it our own. In Argentina, not one person will tell you the true history of that dance. They don't want to associate it with Africa. In fact if you ask them about black people in Argentina they will tell you that there has never been black people in Argentina. They teach them in schools. They rewrite the history. They make it all white. And as I said it is all underneath the surface. They never come out and say we hate black people. Argentina is only for whites or anything like that. They have just fixed the country to only be for white people."

I looked at her friends, Argentineans like her, who were lounging on the chairs on the deck, clad in their tiny bikinis, drinking pina coladas and smiling.

She followed my gaze and then turned to me.

"Don't be fooled by all those smiles, scratch the surface and you will see that all they want is for you to disappear.”

TOO DEPRESSED TO JACK OFF by The Last Turd --

I was reading the New York Post and drinking my second Mountain Dew of the morning when the world ended. Sheila called to say she wasn’t coming home. She’d met a man in Grand Cayman with a giant cock. She told me he was known across the island as The Flashlight. She said she was going to marry him. I felt hopeless, but I always felt hopeless. I thought Sheila would eventually cure me of my hopelessness, but now she was gone — she was off on a new adventure with The Flashlight — the Giant Cock of Grand Cayman, and I was alone again. Unemployed. Caffeinated. Overweight. Addicted to just about everything. Sheila hung up on me before I could say anything. I tried to call her back. The call went straight to voicemail, and her mailbox was full. I opened my dirty laptop, which looked like a remnant from a nuclear wasteland. The keyboard was smeared with syrupy stains. The crevices between the keys were clogged with small, unidentifiable chunks of hard food and dust and whatever else. I got on the internet and went to Pornhub, but I was too depressed to jack off. So I went to monster.com and looked for a job. No one has ever gotten hired from monster.com. I looked around anyway, but it was all minimum wage airport jobs. I had a degree in something I never understood. The degree granted me access to nothing, or at least to things that felt like nothing, temp job after temp job. All there was to do after work was go to happy hour, but my happy hours lasted from 6 pm till 4 am. I’d wake up with a vice grip on my brain, a stomach full of nausea, and vague regrets. I was hungover and craving alcohol and junk food constantly. Everything hurt. I showed up late to all the temp jobs. And even though they were temporary jobs I was always let go early. I would be called into an office. In those offices there were always flowers somewhere — either real flowers dying in a vase on a desk, or painted flowers collecting dust in a frame. In the office, in a polite tone, the HR person would tell me I was no longer needed. I was no longer needed. Lines like that echo. Then I met Sheila. We were both drunk at a nameless bar in a Chinatown basement, and we went home together. She told me, “I’ll regret this in the morning.” When we woke up the room smelled like sweat and rotten meat. I was holding in a huge fart. I let it go. It stunk up the whole room, and Sheila’s eyes started watering. She gagged. She went to the bathroom. I heard her vomiting, and I laughed. When she came out of the bathroom she didn’t say anything about regretting anything. So we went to get breakfast, but it was lunchtime. Sheila hated the word brunch too. After lunch, we just kept hanging out. Two bored people killing time together. After a couple of weeks, I decided to call what we had love, but love isn’t something you decide to call just anything. I was dying to know what it felt like. I was pathetic and desperate. I was a human. I was a pathetic human desperate for fake love, desperate to say “I’m in love,” or “I love you.” It felt wrong, like everything else. It felt terribly, terribly wrong… and sad. Sheila and I went to restaurants and grim bars. Sheila drank as much as I did, sometimes more. I never got to know the color of her eyes. Sheila had more money than me, so she bought us cocaine. She didn’t work. She had a trust fund. I’d heard jokes about New Yorkers with trust funds, but I’d never met one. I loved the cocaine more than Sheila. Like I said, love isn’t something you decide, something you can control. Love finds you. Coke found me. Cocaine is what I miss the most. We’d been together about two months when Sheila randomly booked a one-way ticket to Grand Cayman. Why? Because people with time and money book random tickets to islands. I didn’t hear from her until she called to tell me it was over. I was surprised she even bothered to tell me. That said something about her. I didn’t take her for someone who cared enough to even break-up with someone. She seemed more like a let-it-fade-out type. When she told me about the giant cock and the marriage it felt like the end of the world. What would I do without her and her money and her coke? Actually, it was a kind of beginning, or a beginning of another kind of end, a kind I wasn’t ready for. I closed the New York Post. I sunk into the poop colored couch. I opened my third Mountain Dew — a Code Red Dew that I’d been saving for an emergency. I turned on Bloomberg News. It was like watching static. I was late on rent, and I was deep in debt. Student debt is a small price to pay for those of us stupid enough to go to college. I decided to call Sheila. I called her on Facebook and Instagram and FaceTime. I messaged her in every way possible. No response. If was able to get an erection I probably would have sent her a picture of my dick. I kept sending her messages. I wasn’t saying anything, just sending letters into oblivion. I finished my Code Red Mountain Dew. It was delicious. I tossed the empty bottle on the floor. The bottle lied there on a dusty gray rug that was once sky blue. Then I realized there was no giant cock in Grand Cayman. I made that all up. Sheila had called from Grand Cayman to break up with me, but she never said anything about leaving me for a man with a giant cock nicknamed The Flashlight. That was all in my head. A total fabrication. I stared at the empty plastic Dew bottle. I felt my sadness turn to pain, and then my pain turned to anger. I don’t know what Sheila had found in Grand Cayman that had made her decide to leave me. Maybe she was bored, maybe she found someone who could afford cocaine. Whatever it was I knew that nothing, not even a giant Grand Cayman cock, could ever make her feel anything as deep as my hopelessness.

Visiting Rum Point 12/10-12/19

Dear Mr. Testudo,

My wife and I, both 70 years old, will be visiting Grand Cayman for the first time starting tomorrow.  We will be staying in a small condo at 75 Sand Point Rd.  We are new to snorkeling, our only other experience being Ambergris Cay this past April.  Unlike me, my wife is a dedicated naturalist, quite knowledgeable about land species ranging from wildflowers to trees.  She is the type of person who would enjoy and learn from an opportunity to talk with you about coral and vegetation in particular, as well as about the fish in the area.  I would enjoy listening in.  We will have a Chevy Aveo during our stay.  In addition to our snorkeling gear, we will have use of a tandem kayak to explore Rum Point down to Starfish point.

Liz is a very active Master Gardener volunteer in two of our local South Carolina communities. I am a retired college librarian.

If you will be at your Rum Point home during this time, would you and your wife like to be our guests for lunch or dinner?

Hi Dave and Liz,

I hope you have a great experience snorkeling off Grand Cayman. Sounds like you guys are prepped and ready to explore! Unfortunately I will not be back to Cayman until a few weeks after your visit, but thanks for the gracious invite. Maybe our paths will have a chance to cross in the future.

Cheers,

Testudo

If you want to enjoy the Grand Cayman cuisine along with a tranquil ambiance, then Grand Old House, a waterfront restaurant would be the best option.

Traveling the world on a budget 

So if you follow me you know I love to travel. I love when people say "It must be nice that your always traveling" (Not…that's the New York smartass in me)

But here's the thing, I don't buy expensive shoes, clothes or designer bags. I don't do six dollar Starbucks coffee everyday, I bring my lunch to work every day and cook dinner most nights at home. I eat out or order in only one day a week.

My one luxury is traveling, that is what I enjoy most. Clothes will go out of style, bags get old and you get bored of them. Starbucks and eating out every night is a waste of money to me but traveling is a lifetime of memories that you have forever.

I get to meet all kinds of people, taste different foods, live in different cultures and I get to live my life large. So many people say when I retire or when I have money but that's just excuses, you might not live to see retirement, or you'll never have enough money, so you need to do this now. 

There are tricks to being able to travel on a budget. I pay all my bills on my credit cards and pay them off every month so I get points for airlines and rent cars. I can find the best bargains on hotels and excursions, all you have to do is put some effort into what you deem important. It might take me weeks or months to book a trip because I am looking for the best deals.

I stay with friends, I don't buy junk on vacation, I want to do and see things there. I want to immerse myself in local life. I don't need to go to the five star restaurants but a little local dive with real local food is what I want. 

Find a local wherever you go, and they will help you find the local spots, not touristy spots which are way more expensive. I remember wanting to go to this tourist spot in Hawaii but hooking up with a local he told me that's where they kill their pigs and had no idea how it became a hot spot. He instead took me to a place only locals knew, complete with private waterfalls, it was spectacular, way better than the pig spot.

But if I didn't talk with the locals I would have never seen the island most tourists never see. In Grand Cayman I found a family that made the best Jerk chicken and homemade festive and yes, we were the only white people there but who cared, they welcomed us like family.

I have met lifetime friends on vacations, people I still keep in touch with. I get to travel ro see them and they come to see me. I have the most amazing memories of my vacations, and let me tell you, these memories are worth so much more than a designer bag sitting in my closet.

So today my friends, never say you can't afford to travel, we all make a way for what we really want. Somehow we find the money for these other things, so stop making excuses and go see the world! Life is too short, live your life large! Bon Voyage!

"Be the change you want to see"
