Hello guys,
I have a Q for those who live inside the DQ, and are using a part time helper. How do you get them inside the DQ? arent they stopped at the gate for id check?! Is anyone using one they can recommend, pls? I really really need one asap!
Thanks a lot.
Part time help

Most people are checked going into the DQ, they also like to ask where you are going even when they have no idea who you are talking about ... but why is that a problem anyway?

I've never heard of them turning anybody away. Tell your helper to give them a big smile and they won't even check ID (works for me, anyway 
).

Yeah i knw she's been helping for more than a year, and never encoutered anything like this.
That day she even showed them a paper from an ambassador she works for. They said it's illegal, and she should be working at her sponsor's! It sucks!!

Okay, then WHY does she have to mention she's working for you?? Why not say she's coming to VISIT you?? (Not a lie--stretching the truth lol).
