Big step of Life in Germany

May 29, 2008

I just feel that I have been changed this year, 2008.

Change mind, thinking, opinion, working style, etc.. still love only one guy….my Finn Rakas.

Feel like new Patako (Woman). This is a big benefit to my life for living and working in Germany.  

No many people have chance like me to work in aboard, in 2 Zones. Though I worked in Japan for 6 months, that is small step. But In Germany, it is really Big step of my life. 

Why?

In thailand, I can find out the apartment wtih furniture by myself , but not in Germany.

• my boss found out the flat and my colleague help me to bought the furniture. I learn how to live alone, clean and manage the flat by myself. (Thanks for my best boss, my nice colleague)

 

In thailand, I can have the dinner on the street shop, but not in Germany

• I learn how to cook Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese food

 

In thailand, I can speak everything as I need withhout thinking like childish, but not in Germany

• I lean to be the woman, not young girl anymore. Think reasonable before speak.

 

In thailand, I can speak English with thai-accent, but not in Germany 

• I speak English more clearly, many nationality people understand me

 

In thailand, If I work mistake, some managers will help me, but not in Germany

• I learn to avoid the mistake by thinking and listening more. Also not repeat the mistake. 

 

In thailand, I don’t need to be management for myself, but not in Germany

• I could manage the priority

 

In thailand, I don’t need to adapt myself, but not in Germany

• I learn to adapt myself and work with local people.

 

In thailand, I don’t need to learn the new langugue, but not in Germany

• I learn German Lang. and lean the way of thinking (Thanks to my colleague, Katrin who speak often in office so I learn the german lang. and thinking way) 

 

In thailand, I don’t need to understand all culture, but not in Germany

• I learn Germany Culture ex. Independent, confident, dare to speak what I need/feel. And I like it a lot (Asian culture won’t allow you to do that, right?)

 

In thailand, I don’t need to listen everyone in the job, but not in Germany

• I learn to listen the people. And how to manage the people.

 

In thailand, when I work , I act like one man show…but not in Germany

• I learn the team work. And team work is more powerful than one man show.

 

In thailand, I don’t need to know every rule, but not in Germany

• I learn the rule

 

In thailand, I work work work and work.

• I learn to do the relax life and have the sweet bf.

Thanks a lot for Big step of life. Still Keep Learning and Learning
