My Work Experience In A Japanese Hotel

Visiting Japan is really one of my biggest goals in life, and being able to work and have experience in a Japanese hotel is a huge opportunity for me. Learning their tradition and culture is an amazing experience. I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when suddenly a memory from a couple of years ago passed by while I was scrolling. I took a look at it and it made me remember those days when I was still working for their company. I remember leaving early in the morning and walking for a kilometer towards the hotel. We are lucky if we can catch up with the company's service bus. 

The hotel that I've been working at is a Japanese hotel owned by a Japanese as well. It is a huge corporation located in the centre of our city. Because of these Japanese people, our place is one of the reachiest in Cebu. I don't literally work or have a regular job. We were just students at that time, and it only served as our on-the-job training or our work immersion. 

Getting up early in the morning is important because you do not want to be late for your first workday. My friends and I literally woke up at 3 am and went to the hotel at 4 am when our check-in time was at 6 am. They were shocked when they saw the three of us arrive so early. LOL. At first, it was a bit awkward, but later on, we got used to our environment and the people we encounter every day. Our senior ate and kuya were the ones who briefed us on what to do, and then the manager also told us the things and rules inside the hotel. To tell you the truth, these people are so cool and awesome. I thought kuya, the manager is a strict manager, but the day after, we became close and the rest of the crew and staff. Except for the head chef, I don't like him, honestly, because he's too strict. LMAO. 

This is the Kenshin or the kitchen side. The right side of it was actually the kitchen, and the left side was where the dormitory for the Japanese workers was located. These Japanese people are managers and owners of their company. If you're wondering why, this is a huge corporation owned by Japanese businessmen. They also have a company in Japan, but the main one is located here in Cebu. 

They call it Kenshin, and I and my other friend were assigned to Kenshin while my other friend was assigned to the hotel. They call it a hotel because it's only for those guests who checked in at the hotel. It is actually two dining areas, the Kenshin and the Hotel. The Kenshin is the busiest, while the hotel only had 2-3 diners. So it's kinda boring, but there are a lot of good-looking Japanese young men in the hotel though. LMAO. If you're wondering why their T.V is not a flat screen, well same, I'm wondering too. Their TV is an old kind of TV. It is huge, but the back of it is like a turtle kind of TV. Both Kenshin and the hotel have the same TV.

If you get to work in a Japanese hotel, you will definitely be amazed at how workaholic these Japanese people are. At 4m, they were already eating their breakfast. I arrived at about a quarter to 5 or so, and it was still a bit dark when I first saw them. I was shocked to see them eating their breakfast at 4am or 5am. And their breakfast would not be complete without tamagoyaki, which is an omelette. Sometimes they only have lugaw and miso soup. Speaking of miso soup, it was my first time tasting miso soup. Every time they're done with their breakfast, we throw all the food left even though it is still hot and there is lots of food left. It is a waste of food, but we don't have a choice but to throw it all in a garbage bin. Before purging the soup in the sink, he told me to taste it so that I would not get curious about it. When I opened the lid, the smoke went all up my nose and it smelled so bad. I really hate the smell of it. Because it was hot, like super hot, I felt like my face was steaming. I thought it tasted just like the movie, but I was wrong, because my mouth says that it does not.

Japanese people really are awesome and well-disciplined because all of them are so responsible and well-disciplined. After they're done with their breakfast, you can't see a single piece of dirt on their chair and table, because a single piece of trash, or even a piece of eggshell, they will take it and put it in their tray, and they will also bring their tray to us. They will not forget to say, "Arigatou gozaimasu" or "Salamat." to us after giving their tray. What amazes me more is that every single person who enters the door will always greet everyone with an "Ohayo". Literally everyone, they won't stop nodding their heads until they make sure they have greeted everyone around them.

It's getting longer; I'll probably make another part of this one. We're not even halfway there. LOL
