Experienced

I worked at the grand hotel last summer. I was a restaurant assistant with many people in different nationalities and ethnicities. I worked there for 3 months. This was such a great memories I never had and I didn't want to lose it. I had met many kind people. They taught me many things that i couldn't learn from school. I had done what I never thought.



When i saw snow at the first time. I never seen snow before and I wondered what snow could be. I was cleaning the room then when I looked outside ,, Ahhhhhhhhhh Snowwwww !! 

I worked in the main dining room at the grand hotel. I got so much fun there. Everyone was very kind, we was not just co-worker but we were family. I was surprised, how can i worked at the large hotel without knowledge about hospitality and no have any experience. But they made me know, we could do whatever we want as much as we try. " No have the words fear, afraid , can not in our dictionary" my manager said. 

The biggest problem is English language. I was the only one that couldn't speak English well. I cried and worried too much, but I had tried my best. I still could work and got so many friends. I could hang out with friends. The best thing was I still alived. hahaha :P I used body language and asked Thai friend to translate for me. It was very hard but it's ok. I had learnt and got many new words from different languages.   

This Island didn't only give me friends or experienced but also gave me life and soul. I was very happy in every single day. I smiled, laugh and thought positive. People on this Island was very different that why it would be my dreamland

When I had free time, I toured around the island by carriage or bicycle. No car on this island, so it didn't have pollution.

ARC ROCK

Fort Mackinac

This is some places that i visited when I had free time. Moreover, I went to mainland by boat for shopping and finding some food.  

This was my favorite place. I sat here and saw sun set everyday. Then thought about everything's that happened in that day. Appreciated in everything that happened whether good or not.  Then I went home and moving on . .  .

I can't write or tell everything that happened there. It has tons of information. I can say only this is very wonderful place ever that i had ever seen. Thanks my family to give me an opportunity to go to the USA especially this place. If it's possible, I would love to go there again.  :D   

This is my room, this is how can I keep my memories alive. My friend told me that " Always remember to never forget"  As you can see, The year has passed by I never forget everything. I still remember every moment and everyone there. Those memories still make me cry when I think about. 

I MISS YOU : ) 

YOU WILL BE IN MY MIND FOREVER MY DREAMLAND
