天啊 來這邊也一星期了剛剛到巴里島的時後唯一的感覺就是....
熱~~~熱~~~~熱~~~~
和台東一樣的熱而且還有一點比較驕傲的 ....
咱們的中正機場看起來比巴里島的機場壯觀 ....
終於找到一個我去過的機場比中正機場還要醜的

這不是重點
告訴你一路要往CLUBMED的路上風景真的和在台東沒有太大的差別
只是所有的招牌換成是英文的
真的是詭異的感覺!!

CLUBMED果然是年輕人一起瘋瘋顛顛的地方
一到就有一大堆人嘩啦啦的熱列歡迎
想想這麼害羞的我怎麼做的來這樣的工作勒?
而且每個人都穿的這樣花花綠綠
我那麼樸素樸實的小孩?
ANYWAYS!!!果然這裡真的是幾乎每一分鐘都幫每一位GM
(來村的遊客都稱呼為GM GENTLE MEMBER)
安排充實的活動白天水上活動...風帆 浮潛獨木船
沙灘排球等等陸上球類活動...
高爾夫 籃球 網球壁球 足球等陸上運動..
如健身房 射箭馬戲表演等等美容活動..
SPA按摩 三溫暖泳池等等
光每一項都嘗試就夠玩上好幾天了可惜...
本人為了新的工作到現在都還沒有嘗試過任何一項
等這一兩星期過後台灣團體開始少了我就會開始試看看

這裡吃真的是享受
爆大的餐廳雖然廚師都固定可是每天都有不同的主題菜色
如ITALIAN ASIAN AROUND-THE-WORLD SEAFOOD等等
其實每一餐都試一些些每天總會有嘗試不完的菜色
用不著擔心會吃膩
而且BEER RED/WHITE WINE隨時供應
哎哎哎要節食粉困難呢!!!

這裡每一為GO(GENTLE ORGANIZER)都講英文
所以溝通完全沒有問題囉每天中午對著太陽祈舞(SUN DANCE)
一起在泳池邊帶動跳
下午BAR台邊還有我永遠聽不懂的巴台遊戲
還有晚上每天不同的晚會活動:
巴里島傳統之夜,巨星模仿SHOW, 空中飛人SHOW, 小朋友才藝,
表演馬戲SHOW等等
活動開始結束都會有帶動唱一類的活動
每天都是這樣唱唱跳跳的
要不瘦下來真的很難

這裡真的非常的熱
這一星期流過的汗大概可以抵的上我一年的流汗量吧
每天"日頭赤燄燄"
沒有狂喝水狂上防晒小心皮膚老化

每天工作大概是:
早上確定有沒有要在櫃台值勤的班
如果沒有要不就狂睡到十點
不然就起來運動
當然目前懶惰的我會選擇第一項囉
十點整有一場玩村說明會....
帶領剛剛到村的GM逛一逛村子一圈
說明介紹村子一圈下來也要30~40分鐘
隨會我就回櫃台學一學櫃台CHECK IN/CHECK OUT的東西
可惜
剛開始的幾天自己深深覺的自己是一個廢人
還好我會說一些些日本話可以幫法國的GO和日本人溝通
否則我真得覺的自己超級像廢人的

中午SUN DANCE一定要去跳一跳囉
跳完之後回去餐廳一定要找到有亞洲人(或台灣人) 一起用餐

唉唉唉真可憐?連自己吃飯都不行
還要陪笑如果GM人不錯還聊的挺愉快
如果超悶的GM的話哇哩勒?....."ㄟ 還習慣嘛??" "菜色不錯吧??"
"有沒有參加什麼活動呢??"?

好....問完就趕快吃完飯閃人來去

吃完飯就看看下午有沒有TAIWAN ARRIVAL的客人
有的話就要去接客
然後帶到房間準備下午5點的第二場說明會
通常說明會下來都快要六點了
回房間休息洗澡就準備晚餐"陪客"囉

九點多開始晚會要擔任翻譯的工作
主持人啦啦啦的法文英文介紹之後 由印尼韓文日文 中文的GO輪流翻譯
為晚會開場
當然隨後帶動唱是跑不掉的囉
第一次上台翻譯才知道自己的中文可以爛成這付德性
ANYWAYS!!!還好台灣人不太來看晚會
台灣的團體來九成的時間是泡在"麻將室"內!!
晚會結束如果有彩排要參加如果沒有就準備可以休息囉!!

看起來活動非常輕鬆?可是忙起來可真的要抓狂由其...
還遇到有台灣的團體要求要帶去"買春"的那還真的是快想要放火燒人呢!!!
人爸忙的快抓狂給我來問"好料"的?

SHIT的勒

累雖累真的非常的值得
盡情的吃
盡情的玩
盡情的跳舞

有空來逛逛吧 ..........


hello Friends Don't worry and just a greeting from Tripical Area of the world!?
I am JIMMY and pretty fine here in Bali, Indonesia, working in a totally new environment which differs from my past experience!
Life here is pretty good but all I have to worry is that how can I do my work better!
Please, contact with me or drop me your Contacting address in order that I may send you a REAL Post card from the EQUATOR!!!
Oh, please don't list me on the forwarded junk mail OK????
Thanks anyways and please keep in touch!

JEREMY

Finally, I am in Bali, surviving over 1 week! My only impression about here is HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT...I mean, the weather!

However, the rest of scenary actually is so similar to my hometown, make me feel comfortable! The only difference is that all the sign on the street are written in English (or Bahasa Indonesian!)

Club Med is DEFINATELY a paradise for crazy young people! Such a shy boy from super rural area of Taiwan...I am wondering if I can survive with this new challenge of job or not??! Actually, wearing a very flowerie shirts embarrassed me already!

In this utopia of Club Med, we call all the guests "GM", as Gentle Members while we are "G.O"s, Gentle Organizor! All GMs in village are encouraged to enjoy all activities provided, Wind surfing, Kayaking, Beach volleyball, Golf, Squash, soccor, gym, archery, and the most unique and exciting one "Trapeaze" the Flying Man! However,....I still have no chance to try any one of them, because of the work load! Well...I do plan to try after the Taiwan guests group leaving from the village!

It's always the most enjoyable moment to stay in the restaurant! International buffet with different menu everyday... Italian, Asian, Around the world, Sea Food, Island buffet...and more! Table wine (red or white, by your choice), soft drinks and beer are free flow during meal time! Well....Put the diet for tomorrow once you enter the restaurant!

All GOs speak English, (well, with all different accents of different country actually!) so basically no problem with communication! Most Asian languages are spoken in village for guests from specific Asian countries. (well...At least, Mandarin/Japanese/Korean!) Some Club Med habits are the MUSTs in a day! "SUN DANCE" by noon time is the ClubMed-Only Ceremony, to pray for good weather for next day! Lots of Bar games after lunch or during your coffee/tea time! After dinner, all the staffs prepare the Night events for guests, in all different theme, ~~Traditional Asian show, LipSync Show, Flying Trapeaze Show, Kids show and more... "Crazy Sign" is another ceremony in Club Med which is to make all guests and staffs to dance and have fun all together! Disco always starts after Main show events! If you follow all these activities from morning to night, well, really good excercise!

Here is really so hot, that "Dehydrating" is a serious problem if not drinking enough water. Also, watch your skin...Sun Block is also the MUST in this tropical island! I am assigned as the "Chinese PR" in this resort. "PR" is actually the "club med language". In normal languages, it means "Guest Relation Officer"! I have to work in the front desk for some hours. I am in charge of Village information tour (orientation tour) everyday by 10am & 5pm. Mostly in Chinese, however, while no Chinese guests in house, I have to do the English one too!

At beginning of working, I really felt that I am such a useless junk in the front desk! I can't do any check-in/check out. My only function at beginning was to help these European colleagues to understand what Japanese guests are asking in front desk! (even not many Chinese guests at that time!!?!!) During meal time, we invite guests to dine together! I always choose to sit with Japanese or Asian guests. Sometimes we had really a very good time chatting and dining together! However, most of the time, either we are totally ignored by the guests on table because they were so concentrate eating eating and eating!

"Bon Appetite"
"Ching Man Yong"
"Bajige juseyooo"
"Selamat Makan"
"Takusan tabete kudasai ne!"

These are all we learned about "Enjoy your meal" while first to speak by table!

Taiwan guests are arriving mostly in the afternoon. That's always what I am functionable in house! Prepare for their arrival, welcome, escort to the rooms, orientation and..... After all these, it's about time for dinner actually! After dinner, the Show Time! All PRs from different nationalities are on stage for opening of the show, to explain the show in all dinfferent languages. Well, I found that on stage, my Mandarin ability suddenly gone to somewhere I don't know...so what I spoke from Mic became such non-sense Chinese... These hosts and hostess on TV are really so brave, I finally realized!

Thankfully, not too many Taiwan guests would come for show time coz they rather spend their holiday in "Ma-Jon" game room in the night time! Normally, the rehearsal of next night show would be done by mid night while most guests leaving for sleep! (fortunately, I am not assigned for many shows because...I believe our stage manager really wanna keep the quality of the show! hahaha!)

That's about the day! I didn't know that such routine has been going for more than 1000 days of my life! Amazing! You feel this is an easy job? While you met some Taiwan guests asking you "WHERE CAN I CALL GIRLs and HOW DO THEY CHARGE here?", I don't think you will agree this is an easy one! (After refusing their request....I would really feel like to throw a knife to their heads........!!!)

Anyways! Once you are here... Enjoy the beach Enjoy the Suntanning Enjoy the fiest Enjoy the Party Welcome to this Utopia....the paradise you pay for!
