"Are YOU FINISHed?"

Another GOOD Humor story at the restaurant in D-dorf :)
i Really Loved when it Happened ;)

Once, i Got a big group as my Guests.
since they were speaking english, so i got a chance to serve them :) they came from "messe"(world trade fair)
i didnt know who they were or where they came from at the beginning, but i was Very Curious about their company!
it Sounded like they were having So FUN!!!!!
Men were Very Gentle to their Ladies, and they mannered Well!!!

at the restaurant... we, waiters and waitresses had to take the dishes when the guests finished eating their meals. so that they could Order more, or we could bring some more, like a course style(?) something like that.

Anyways, when it seemed like the dishes were empty or the meals were gone...

i Asked some of them "Are you Finished?"

and then, All of them responded "No, We are NOT finished/Finnish-es(?), But We are Danish-es!" ;)

i LAUGHed OUT and SHOWed a BIG Smile to them :)
i LOVE the people who have a GREAT sence of Humor :) :) :)
i'd met some other Danish people there, all of them were WonderFUL!!!!!
i was So Pleased to serve them!

i "Liked" and "Disliked" in D-dorf.

"Like"
*Park
(All the places, i Visited were SUPER BeautiFUL, Very Nice and Clean Gardens,and Lots of Flowers )
*People
(Most of the people who i met were WonderFUL)
*Bakery stores
(i LOVEd Bakeries! YUM)
*Hot chocolate
(i Always ordered "a hot chocolate milk" when i went to a cafe. some shoppers who remembered me sometimes ONLY asked me "which size" and "w/o whip cream or in" lol they were Friendly (: i Miss them and the drink, of course)
*Buildings
(i Liked the europian buildings, Very CUTE to me and some OLD ones were Amazing and BeautiFUL!)
*Sundays OFF
(a.k.a i'm a Christian, it was So GREAT to know that Most of All Stores were Closed on Sundays! i was So impressed (;)



"Dislike"... :(
*some Rules
(a Very STRICT... not Flexible sometimes i WISHed lol)
*McDonalds
(ONLY one Ketchup pack was Free...you know What? i Love Free Ketchup!!! so, i sometimes Wondered "Should i bring my own ketchup with me there?! hee,hee... never happened... i Forgot it! lol Very Ruled?)
*Week-days
(Most of the stores were Closed by 9pm or so. since i was working at the restaurant... i couldnt go anywhere to get things during the week-days, too bad and sad. in other hand, it was GOOD for other workers generally? they dont have to Work too Long!)

Side note:
sometimes, it was Hard to Understand that "chocolate milk" is only for Summer-time??? most of the Cafe shops? or All? they didnt have the chocolate milk for all season :( i didnt get How they decided to have one, but between Fall and Spring( even though it was a warmer day) i only COULD Get the HOT chocolate milk at the bakery cafe store or starbucks. i Sometimes Wanted a Cold one ;)

CALPIS

is lactobacillus beverage(?!... by google translate) It's kinda yogurt drink :)
it sounds like a white color, light taste but sweet yogurt drink. YUM!
since its kinda yogurt one, its GOOD for a tummy ;) (LOL)
while i was working at the Japanese restaurant in Germany... i had to sell the drinks to the guests.
when a guest already had a drink, i just asked the guest to Have Some More the same one. But, if a guest Didnt decide to have one YET, or Asked me for My Recommendation... I Suggested the guest to Try to have a CALPIS!!! :D
Many of the guests (who Tried) Loved IT and Took some more for a few times
While they EnJOYed their meals :)
Sometimes... when the guest ordered it a lot, more than three times or so (lol)
i Wondered What would happen to his/her Tummy (LOL)
Good thing, i had NEVER heard any reports from anyone the Next day or so ;)
When i See the drink here in Japan, it Reminds me of the memory in Germany!
It was FUN and i Loved when non Japanese guests enJoyed IT with their meals :)

Hay FeVer...

it's been Over 5 years since i Noticed that i Got a Hay Fever...
But, First i Thought that i might caught a Cold.
So, i went to Wrong doctor's office... and got some medications for the cold :P
Anyways... when I went to the Right doctor's office to see the Results at the secound time(lol)
The doctor & Nurses were GOOD! even though my Mind was Too WHITE. It is HARD to think ANYTHING Clearly during the time of Hay Fever :(
Well, when the doctor mentioned about the medications...
Some Words came OUT from my MOUTH!!!
i Said "i Can take the medications... But, I Can't Sleep at my WORK place!" (LOL)
After I said SO... i Asked myself "what Did i Just Say?" and the Doctor's face seemed like "QUESTIONable" or His eyes Sounded like to me "DUMB!" (lol)
and My eyes Tried to Explain "What I Just SAID..." :)
i Tried to say some "like, You KNOW... i Have to Work, but ShouldN't SLEEP by the medications or any situations..." haha.
i WISH that my Brain could WORK and be AWAKE, like Normal ;)
but, the experience IS still I can Laugh about :D

KIRIN BEER at the Restaurant...

A Very embarrassing experience at the Japanese restaurant, AND I was a Waitress...LOL

One Night, It was Too BUSY...as usual.
Some of my guests Ordered BEER of the middle size of glasses.
On the way, I was Taking the BEER glasses to the guests... I Noticed that there were 3 New guests just Came In. They were TRYing to take their coats OFF and also to take their Seats SLOWLY ;)
First i WaitED for them. However, they were Chatting each other while they were taking their Coats OFF. and Once i SAW a Space between one of them and another guest :)
I Thought that i Could make IT to go Through... Then I Failed :(
The guest who was sitting at the Bar...
he Got WET a Lot and also i got wet on my pants.
i was STUCK at first... then, Apologized to him for my fault.
Of Course He was Surprised and Looked at me...and accepted my efforts!
Ended up, everything Turned Out WELL and he was a Gentle British man :)
another guest who was chatting by standing seemed Worried.
First... i was Just taking Care of the guests at my tables,
and then i Noticed his face. Since I also wantED him to enJOY his company at the restaurant instead of feeling Bad :)
I decided to Ask him and his girls "if they wanna drink something?!"
with a Smily face :) then he seemed Relaxed and Enjoyed his time.
i was HaPpy to see his and his peeps' SMILES as well :)
He gave me some Service tips before he left.
It was Silly, but it was a Great day to Serve the NICE people as well :-)

Side note: the Next day... Even though it WAS TOO Cold night, Many of the guests Ordered the same beer, KIRIN (LOL) i was GLAD that No ONE brought their Rain Coats With themselves ;) and It didN'T Happen it AnyMore!!!

Fun to Learn a few Germans ;)

When i Learn something New, i Try to Look for a Way to have FUN :)
It Helps me to Remeber what i've learned from.
i Memorized some numbers,words and phrases for a waitress in German.
Since i Wanted to communicate with (esp) little kids sometimes, and also to Show my Willingness to Learn the language :)
i Tried to learn some more as much as possible ;)
When i was memorizing the phrase "How are you?" in German...
it Sounded like "Bill Gates" to me ;)
so... Once after i thought that i memorized it, i Used IT to a little kid.
and the boy responded "good" in German, so i Thought that he got my German :)
Next week, i met his mom and told her about my German little chat with her boy.
Then she told me, her son Wondered why someone told him "Bill Gates" the otehr day LOL i Laughed about myself :D
*"Be(e) gates" must be closer sound?!

Another word "Aubergine" the german word means "eggplant" in English.
on that day... one of the three free/little dishes were eggplant' pickles.
the color was dark blue, so many guests who ordered "today's meat/fish special"
asked a waiter and waitresses "What it was"
Since it sounded like "Over-Jeans" to me, i said so to some guests ;)
Some of them Understood what I was Trying to say, and some Wondered and Figured out the meaning later :)
I Explained it to Some of them sometimes :)
It was FUN to Learn some NEW Words in German... i WISH that i Could Learn IT Well and Sooner... but, it was HARD! it's such a Smart Language :)

Kamps' COUPONS!

Kamps is One of the Biggest Bakely stores in Germany!
i Really LIKED it... so YUMMY!!!
Once i FOUND the COUPONS at my work place.
It was Very NICE and i Tried to Use SOME coupons quickly :)
but...I didnt try One of them for a few days...
it Said, "something 1000g" ;)
First, i Thought that it could be something uncountable thing -
so Must be the Cookies?! I was Hoping so.
One Saturday early morning, before i was heading to work at the airport...
i decided to Stop by to get the thing so that i could eat some in the train Before Work :)
since i Noticed that the workers at some bakely stores dont speak English a lot,
so i Just Showed a worker the coupon Without ASKing at the moment lol
When the worker got "IT"... i said to myself "SHOOT!" LOL.
IT was "a Huge bread, 1000g weights" Ha,Ha,Ha.
i was So Surprised to SEE it and got it anyways.
Then i Had to Carry it with me All day-Long on that day...
After i Got Work OFF...
i Really needED to Go Shopping, which was already Planned before.
So, i took the bread with me.
a bread is usually about 100-200g, right? so the bread was like more than 5 times Heavy for me... IT made me So EXHAUSTED! A Funny thing was i sometimes Forgot that i was Having IT with me and Wondered How come my arms got so Tired today! lol
i had to Laugh about myself sometimes! :D
Ended up... it was huge and i thought that i couldnt make it to eat all by myself, i brought it to the missionaries if they knew some people who needed.
but, they didnt have any, so sisters got IT.
it was a FUNNY adventure! ;)

a 50 cents' guy

31st December 2009

Since i just Moved into my apartment a couple of days ago... so, I was trying to Set-Up during my Winter-break! a...Whole week, i had to spend CLEANING a LOT lol...
i did NOT know what kinda cleaning stuff i Should/Could use for the floor, and because of the Language, i Couldnt Figure it OUT lol!
i Kept Cleaning till the break was Over :( Poor girl!

I went to IKEA to get some Furnitures as well!!! i Loved going there :)
it was FUN to see Tons of Cute equipments there.

Anyways, in the evening... i was Waiting for a Straße bahn (street train),
a guy was Asking each person as much as he could.
First, i was Not sure What he was doing... but, he asked a woman (who was Standing next to me) Something in Germany. I didnt Expect that he would ask me too lol But, he Did. So, i responded him "auf Englisch, bitte" (in English, please) :) And Then... he Spoke to me in English and Said "Give me 50 cents, please"
i asked him back "50 cents?"
since i didnt just wanna give any money to the people who need it for drugs or so... i Decided to Take him to the Bakery and get a pretzel, Which i Could...
But... then he started complaining about the cheap bread :(
So... i Wondered Why he wouldnt work for a living???
Sounded like to me, he could speak German and English and Still Young...
He could Find some Good jobs if he would?
i Got a Wish that someone Could help him to
Know How to Work and also to enJOY his Life here! ;)
a Funny part was on the way i was going Back to the stop
where i was waiting for the bahn... the same woman Showed me her TWO,
both "THUMBS UP!!"
i Smiled and Explained her What just Happened! :P
i Understand that Work is tough sometimes, but Good to Work on Something!
i've been POOR, but its Always GOOD to do something for a Living ;)
I can Feel that i'm Alive.

the Day i Left for Düsseldorf, Deutschland!

First, i was supposed to Fly to Germany on the 8th of October 2009... but, a Typhoon was Coming before the weekend.So, "just in case" i changed my flight schedule.
When my Old office worker Booked my ticket, i got the permission to Take 40kg luggages with me(Very NICE) so i was Able to pack Lots of things :)
but... when i got to Fukuoka airport (since i changed the schedule later), the air plane company missed the info. about my luggages. i prayed inside first "it will Work OUT" and i had to Wait for about a half hour to figure out.
while i was waiting for the result, i Worried about if i had to pay for the charge... it would cost about $2000- or so... Scary! and i just had some money but NOT a Lot. lol
i was So HaPpy when it Worked OUT!
i flew from Fukuoka to Narita on the 10th and i stayed at a hotel there one night, and then flew from Narita to Frankfult, on the 11th.
on the way i was heading to Narita airport(from the hotel)... i GOT a very Curious situation!!! that Cracked me UP ;) my Eyes were So Opened and Tried to Find OUT "What it was going on" i Don't remember WHAT exactly HAPPENed...i mean, i Heard something announcement, but didnt Hear it well. Anyways something happened,
so there were Too MANY police men at the examining/inspection Bar and they were investigating something or someone... "Yep" i Had to Show my passport even i didnt get to the airport Yet LOL,haha.
i had a Quiet moment in the airport before Boarding.
the Flight was OK, a little Longer and Boring...there was No screen in front of my seat :(
when i arrived in Frankfult, i was So surprised that Immigration Clearance was so EASY :)
outside of the airport, the bus was waiting for me and other passengers.
it was a GOOD/FUN start to into the NEW adventure in Deutschland for me! :)

Still Learning ;)

English is my secound language...
i'm CURIOUS about Learning Languages,
"WHY"? because it's SO FUN to me :)
but i'm SLOW :(
Too BAD and SAD sometimes that i have to Admit "it's POOR"
But as Long as i have a DESIRE to Learn, i SHOULD KEEP Going :)
(esp. One of my Best friends encouraged me so, which i'm GrateFUL for!)
So... I KEEP updating my-jorney on my-Blog in English!
HopeFULLy, people who check it out WILL understand Some and Better!
Thanks.
