Weekly Updates
The second week of my internship here in Japan, I think I am starting to get used to this new environment, albeit on an isolated mountain.
To be honest, I think I am kind of loving this job right now, not sure it is the novelty of it or something else, but I am really enjoying doing this job and looking forward to going to work every day.
The second week into the internship, I am already starting to get closer to the workmates over there, I now felt like I am actually part of the team and actually doing something, and I have made closer acquaintance with a few of the workmates over there, and we would sometimes have lunch break together and stuff, and I really kind of having fun working over there. The people there are generally very fun to be working with, and I'd proactively help out with what they are doing right there as I'm just an intern, I really do not have many things to do.
Most of the time, I'd just be walking, roaming around the lobby hall and see if I can be of any help to the guests, but then, there aren't really many guests so I'd be really really free. So, normally I'd offer my help to workmates that looked busy doing things, and I guess sometimes they themselves really have nothing for me to do because I do not know anything - do not know how to check-in/check-out guests, do not know how to use the management system, and do not know how to verify documents and stuff.
After several days of trying to offer my help, some workmates started to teach me how to do stuff, while we would chat around a little to get to know each other more, and so to get easier to work together and stuff. After two weeks working with the Front Office, I am starting to get a gist of what they do there and how they do things, and to be really really honest, I really did notice the difference when a 100% Japanese people are taking charge of the office and when a foreigner or when a foreign-born Japanese is taking charge of the office, the atmosphere is so much different. This might give me some points of consideration when I choose my workplace after graduation. I realised that it is actually very fun to work in a working environment with many foreigners, I find it more interesting and less dull than working in an office where everyone, or at least when the person in charge is a Japanese.
Well, overall the second week went fine for me, felt like I am an empty sponge sucking up all everything there is for me to learn and stuff, and I'm probably really am enjoying the novelty of it. I've heard of how busy it could get during the winter season though, they told me that it's Hell, and I do believe that it is nothing less than they described, but, I am kind of tempted to experience that, to be honest, not really sure why, but I am just here till end of August, so I guess no luck for that LOL.
Here's to 6 more weeks of internship!
