Starting a New Job
I went to Amsterdam for work by NS train. I arrived at Amsterdam Central Station around 11:40 am. Then I reached the shop called Nishi, a Japanese kawaii goods store. A colleague, a Dutch girl named Nevin, came just after noon. We prepared to open the shop together. She is an art school student and only 15 years old, but she is far more mature than her age. We talked a lot and laughed a lot during working hours. It was the best working experience I have ever had. I could not believe that such a fantastic job exists in the world. My colleague was nice, all customers were nice, and every interaction was great English practice for me. Furthermore, the hourly wage is €15 (2714 JPY). I really love this job. I worked from 12 pm to 7 pm. Time flew, and I felt that this day would be unforgettable in my life. After work, I went to the bar Cafe/Hotel Internationaal. It was my third visit there, and then I moved to the bar Cafe The Flying Dutchman. The bar owner remembered my face. I was reminded that drinking after work is the best way to enjoy a beer. I skipped dinner for my health. I came back to my house just after 10 pm, took a shower, and went straight to bed. It was a dreamy day. I thank God for giving me such a fabulous day.

Thoughtful, personal, and cross-cultural.
