Taiwan Working Holiday Day 13-15 - Turn for the better

After i have communicated, day 13 was better compared to past few days, at least i do not feel like i am free labour.

Xiao Luo apologised for what happened. He and Youzi discussed and reflected over it and told me they should not have passed all the chores for me to do especially on days when all 4 rooms need to be cleaned. He would still hope that i will leave with a good impression of Hua Lian and this working holiday. He said he would guide me on this day and see if i can be more efficient in the cleaning. There were also 4 rooms that day. He started by cleaning a room and showed me ways and procedures that are faster and i observed that both he and Fish had different expectations

Fish is very 细心,and every little detail must be wiped everyday, like the little lamps, the windows and even the balcony but to the boss, some windows need only to be wiped once a week as there are lesser dusts compared to those facing the sea. Wiping it is an everyday chore, so you do not need to wipe again and again, just once will do and places like the balcony, just vacuum will do.

If i have not asked him to show me once, i would not have known what are those that can be omitted as an everyday chore! Not only that, Youzi also apologised and helped with the hanging up of the clothes. Both of them changed in attitude suddenly. They even asked Fish to help before she went on her leave. They told me, there were 小帮手s who quitted halfway because they could not take the tasks, they reflected and felt perhaps they should have helped too. Praise God! This is beneficial for both of us, for them to be able to keep their 小帮手s and for me to take my breather faster too. At least, i am slowly recovering emotionally.

The next day was less hectic with 3 rooms, i did receive some help here and there from Youzi and she even offer to help hang and wash Fish and my clothes.

I met up with Mskmouse to run along the beach, this time checking a different route and it was a happier run compared to last Friday. We ran into the Nanbin park.

After that, we have dinner along Zhong Shan Road, this shop called Jing Xiang 排骨面,it served very fresh and nicely cooked vegetables and the 排骨粿条汤 tastes good. I almost finished the soup and i does not feel thirsty at night too.

This morning, i even get to wake up at 545am, to see if i can catch the sun rise at the beach. Quite disappointing, the sun prefers to hide behind the clouds. I would try on Thursday again. Yes for all the past posts, they are mostly late.

Today, there are only two rooms to be cleaned and i managed to finish all by 2pm with alittle bit of help. It is like the best day for my two weeks here. I met mskmouse for dinner at 阿之宝

This one whole set is filling and at a reasonable price too. When i walked back to minsu, Xiao Luo and his guests invite me to this big fish meal, the guest bought this 10kg Yellow tail fish so we had sashimi, cooked fish with black pepper and fish soup. His guests are all guys and right now they are still chatting downstairs. To say the truth, it was only today that i felt most happy but of course to prepare myself for the hectic cleaning of 4 rooms tomorrow.

Jiayou! Last 3 days left!!!
