Lost in Translation

Late Tuesday night (the evening we arrived) I sent Tyler(12) to the clubhouse to find out times for the pool...

Mom: "Did you find someone to ask?"
Ty: "Yes.  I politely said 'hi, do you know what time the pool is open?'"
Mom: "Oh good. And?"
Ty (with the slanty eyes I do when I am less than amused): "He said 'Del'"
Mom: "Del?"
Ty: "Del."

We then spend a few seconds saying "del" to ourselves in varying dialects trying to decipher what the heck "del" could be.

Our best guess is 10.

We find out in the morning from a resident that the pool is 24 hours.

(Nearly)Everyone here speaks English.  It's the dialects and accents that'll get ya!
