Hi, my name is Audrey.
I went to Edinburgh for my training period : I spent 5 weeks in Victoria Park Hotel in Hosting and Reception work.. Victoria Park Hotel is a very traditional Scottish hotel which is mainly used by local people. We host many funeral wakes as/because the crematorium is a short distance away.
I did many tasks : I welcomed people, I served tea and Coffee, and ….
I like this job because it’s funny and good work. 😀
> The staff is very nice and they have patience with me, because I do not speak English very well : so they show me and speak more slowly.
> For sure, I will exchange my Facebook to continue to speak with them from France : it’s good for me !
> For my first week, it was very hard for me because they have a strong accent, I was lost… But after a few weeks, it gets a little easier.
> After 3 weeks, I’m good, I usually understand, but sometimes I still do not.
Edinburgh is very nice city, old and modern at the same time. I like this very much !
> With my French friends Celia and Solene, we went to Calton Hill for the view on Edinburgh and it’s very glorious.
> The people in this city are very friendly. For exemple : yesterday, I was lost. I was looking on my map when a man asked me « You’re ok ? » also « Can I help you ? » So it’s very nice !! In France I’ve never experienced this before !
I hope I will return to Edinburgh in my life because I like these people and this city very much !
