Germany - TINA

Tina is the first friend I met in the hostel, and I chat with her actively. 
where you from?  how many days will you stay here?  have you take the city tour?
you like traveling?  some questions like that.


後來我知道，tina也是來打工度假的。。。。。
終於在某一晚，二個人在房間待比較長的時間，就聊比較多，
後來還加入了一位法國人 伊莉莎白 ，一起談論一些話題。


tina 算是自由工作者，他可以在各地做她自己想做的事，只要有電腦、網路就ok了。
之前她的工作也是很不錯的，所以她自己承認要她去做一些比較低階的打工，她不願意，
所以，她在Vancouver時，沒有找到想要的工作。
而今天他來Toronto是來找朋友，順便vacation.


因為TINA 是早上洗澡，我偷偷觀察了二天，終於開口問她~
How come western people take the shower in the morning?
TINA:  ??  do we?  no all the western people, depend on personal. 
         For me, I like to take the shower in the morning, bcuz I like to fresh my day.
         But my sister takes the shower before she go to the bed, bcuz she wanna sleep lately.
I : oh~ Most of Eastern people take the shower in the evening, to avoid to stain the sheet or what. 
TINA: I never found this. but there is no rule, depend on personal feeling.


看到很多西方女生都一個人入住hostel，且背個大背包…
我又問啦~
I : Most of Western girls I saw she travel alone, so do yod,  your parents wouldn't worry about you?
TINA : no, my parents would not. and my dad always says your should go out to see the world and have more experiences. 
I : if i wanna traveling alone, my family would not allow. should be have a partner with me. 




這個話題又開啟了另一個話題... 
I : how does the employer in Germany think about a person like to travel and working holiday? 
TINA : in Germany, most employers like to refer your life skills in other counties. if you don't, the chance will be less than some people have these experiences.
I : In eastern world, most employers hire you, they wish you can work for them for long time until retire (應該要用 retirement). if they see you have working holiday experience, they might be think you're not stable on the job.
TINA & Elizabeth 二個都嚇一跳了。因為這是他們沒有聽過的事情~~~


但經過聊天之後，發現，在地理方面，他們真的有比較強，整個很了解什麼城市在什麼方位，
就算不是很確定，但也大概知道在哪裡…
真的很有國際觀，我想…這真的是我缺少的柳。




再說，可能也是她們常常旅行、常常在外面走跳，
語言、國際觀、甚至交談和交朋友，也比東方人來得強一點。
讓他們在談吐上面、待人處事方面、還有在公共場合時，都真的比較有自信、應退盡退還有替人著想。
哦~ 對了，可能我也比較主動與別人對談…也因為這樣，受到別人的施惠不少。


TINA 就給我一本多倫多旅行手冊，裡面有多倫多的旅遊導覽外，還可記錄一些生活心得。
另外有一個女生，才說了二句話…她就給我一張HOSTEL的早餐兌換卷。因為她要CHECK OUT了，也用不上…還把他不要的糊椒粉和鹽送給我。。。。
基本上，她們也比較大方柳……(可能是他們的錢比較大，所以可以這麼大方柳…真想哭~)


出門在外，真的是靠朋友…
沒有朋友給你INFORMATION，你怎麼可能會有這麼多經驗呢??
