An Old Gentleman

When I was serving in the bar area yesterday, an old gentleman talked to me.

He said "Are you new here?"
I answered "Yes, I am here for the internship"
He said "I knew Toni."
I said "Oh yes, but Toni isn't here today." and asked "So you must come here very often, don't you?"
He said "Yes, because my sister is suffering from Parkinson's, I have to come here visit her."
I said "Oh, my grandfather is also suffering from that." (Actually, I realized my grandfather is suffering from Alzheimer's after I finished the sentence.)
He said "It's sad, isn't it?"

Then I said goodbye to him. And I feel warm after this conversation.

One of the best things of working in a hotel is that you can meet people from different places with different reasons. And it's really good to hear someone's story.

昨天當我在bar服務時,有一位老先生跟我聊起天

他問 "你是新來的嗎?"
我回答 "恩 我是來實習的"
他說 "我認識這裡的Toni"
我說 "喔~Toni今天不在這" "你應該很常來這裡 對吧?"
他說 "恩~因為我有一個姐姐得了帕金森氏症 所以我會來這裡看她"
我說 "歐 我爺爺也有帕金森氏症" (但就在我講完這句話的瞬間我想起我爺爺是阿茲海默症...)
他說 "這很悲傷 不是嗎~"

然後我就送他離開了  但結束這段對話後 我覺得心中暖暖的

在飯店工作的好處之一就是你可以見到因為不同理由來自不同地方的人
而且能夠聽到這些人的故事真的很有趣!
