I am a farmer now! Not working in the field, instead, I work under a shed for packing capsicums. That’s easy but boring. What I need to do is to separate capsicums to different classes depending on their sizes, sunburns and marks etc. Every second, it is all about good or bad and large, medium or small. In one day, we can pack tones of capsicum. I think I must be the person who touches the most capsicums in life among my friends! And there is a risk in the job. That is I may become stupid! It is because I don’t need to use my brain when I work! Phoebe, keep thinking something and using your brain. Don’t be stupid!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘It’s your fault! It’s your fault! Why don’t you come earlier to extend your room?’ The rude man pointed his finger to my nose and yelled. I stood there and could feel blood was boiling in my body.

‘Excuse me, sir. I want to extend my room for one more week.’ I asked courteously with a smile as usual.

‘Ok, what is your name and room number?’ the receptionist man asked officially.

‘Tai Chui Fan and room 101’

‘Your room will be full tomorrow, you have to move to another room.’ He said indifferently.

‘OMG! I have lived here already one and half month. Could you please help me to check whether I can change the room with the new comer?’

‘No, you can’t.’ he shook his head and said, ‘ What you can do is to bring out your luggage, check out tomorrow and check in for another room.’

‘You know, I lived here so long and therefore have many stuff over the room. It would be a bit difficult for me to pack my big luggage to move it up and down.’ I said sincerely and hoped to persuade him to make some changes for me.

‘That’s your problem, I can’t do anything for you,’ he said impatiently.

‘Is the new girl traveling alone?’ I asked.

‘It’s not your business. I won’t tell you.’ He exclaimed angrily.

‘If the girl comes alone, I think you can change the new girl to another room. Actually she won’t be bothered as she won’t be separated with her friends and more importantly she doesn’t know which room she’s going to move in.’ I said.

‘You don’t have the privilege! Why do you think you have the privilege to exploit other’s right? It’s your fault! It’s your fault! Why don’t you come earlier to extend your room?’ The receptionist guy pointed his finger to my nose and yelled. I stood there and could feel blood was boiling in my body.

‘It’s the only solution for you, check out tomorrow, bring down your luggage and move to the room 115! That’s it! If you don’t like it, you can check out and leave tomorrow! Actually 90% of hostels in Brisbane is full already as there will a big event tomorrow,’ he barked.

What the rude man he was!

What could I say? I really want to leave immediately and was not willing to spend one more second in this disgusting hell. But Angela, my friend is here and we will leave a few days later, thus I drew a deep breath and paid the rent unwillingly.

The next day, when I prepared to move my luggage downstairs, I saw another receptionist was on duty. Then I told her my situation, and she immediately showed her understanding and helped me to fix the problem in a few minutes! Thanks Lord! I met an angel !

Traveling Tips:

Booking one or two nights for your accommodation is all right, you can decide extend or not after viewing the living condition of the hostel in person. More than that, weekly payment is much cheaper than booking in the internet!
