Daniel is a kilts and attends St as Belman in the Fairmont Algonquin Hotel. Andrews, New Brunswick to the benefit of our guests and their luggage.
A very responsible task, which is not just about, the baggage to store or to keep the door, but also all the small and large tasks, incurred in the hotel: Parking, Clean, Reception as well as a- and check out.
Tradition, but loose!
But above all it is also about the representing. His unusual Trews is logically part of his work uniform, as he told me. She should the Scottish St. Remember Andrews. Such traditions to lay in Canada worth.
Apart from the fact it goes but to looser in Canada in many things as in Germany, as the nineteen reported: “The people are very legal here in the East and very nice – and has long been not so exactly like in Germany. Even the teachers in the school come times too late.”
Simply something new
In Germany, however,, in the Rhineland, have disturbed the conservative thinking often him. Therefore, he was equally enthusiastic, as his parents decided, to emigrate to Canada. “We wanted to simply something else”, says Daniel.
The father was looking for himself before a job as a truck pair, the mother found a job in a plant factory. Both had a work permit, Daniel travelled a on a student visa – and the school brought to first end. Now he is permanent resident.
School: Catching up to do in English
That was a lot of work: “You read here just Shakespeare in the original, When I arrived with my school English from Germany, This was naturally hard. But I've managed, without having to repeat a class,” the young immigrants says with proud. However he admits, that the school in Canada is also less demanding than in Germany.
Primarily his language skills have helped him in the job search: “Here many Geschäfstleute and German tourists descend, It is good, that I can be german.” French,Canada second language, However does not speak it. “I want to learn that even – but it is relatively difficult.”
Canadians are dear to him
In New Brunswick, but there are relatively large German communities in Nova Scotia and Ontario, as Daniel told me. But he has nothing to do with which. He spends most of his time with colleagues. He lives together with two of them also in the hotel – for 3 Dollar a day.
There is something that does not like him? Daniel ponders a moment: “The large distances are getting used to: It is therefore quite difficult to get around. And… the food.”
The food is bad
What is so bad on Canadian food? “There was huge portions but still not as good as in Germany. Pretty much fast food. And unfortunately you accustomed quickly”, Sorry adds Daniel.
His perspective for the future: Currently his job like it very much. ” It is varied and you meet many people,” says Daniel. Maybe he wants to but later times the hospitality College go and work in the management. “Let me see” He says and smiles.
