Day 8 - Maldives

The week passed by so fast when work starts.



Today i'm working the noon shift which means starts from 3pm - 12am. Its really tiring but not as tiring as the night shift. Work is so far so good, not learning the system stuffs but more like a translator for the Chinese. There're really a lot of them here and they cant speak english. They are very happy when they know we can speak Mandarin, Cantonese or Hokkien. These 2 days i'll be busy with the big group Chinese guests coming in.


Yesterday, a guest complained to me about the menu which was translated in to chinese. There's a dish which has the word "ai" means cancer and cement and a lot of other funny direct translations. So now this is my assignment. A few of us have to help change all the menus of the different restaurants. We have 8 altogether. A lot to do...but fun reading the funny translations.

Mr Heinecke, who is the owner of Minor Corporations, had arrived today. He is the owner of all the Anantara Resorts in Maldives, Thailand, China, Laos, Vietnam and so on. He owns nearly all the fast food outlets in Thailand and also the clothing industry in Thailand. You can read more bout it in the website. The HR Director will arrange a meeting for us trainees to meet him. This is really a good opportunity if we make a good impression. It'll do good for our future. never know he might hire us when we graduate. Hehe.

Alright, gtg. My guests are here. Ciao.
