I received an invitation from Spain!!!
One of the countries I was integrating while here in Germany is Spain. Our offices there are located in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona. But our main office is in Madrid. I got to meet our good colleagues Miguel and Carlos from Spain. They were funny because I thought we would never understand each other. Carlos spoke English very well but he knew operations. The technical guy Miguel, knew only a bit of English and he’s embarrassed to speak every time we are with other people.
Then, one night during dinner – the other folks were at the buffet getting their food and the only person left at the table with me was Miguel. I tried to speak to him in English and try to make him comfortable. I tried speaking a bit of Spanish that I know and I think it worked. He spoke English all the way through before my other colleagues came back to the table. I told everyone that Miguel knows how to speak English and he blushed. It was soo cute.
After the integration, (they were with me for three days) – they left and I received a nice email from Miguel. He had many nice words to say and thanking me for giving him the comfort as he tried to speak to me in English. He told his boss that next time, he will learn more English so he can speak to me. He also told his boss to tell me that I also gained a friend in Madrid and if ever I want to visit, he will be the one to take me around. Isn’t that nice?!
So, I got excited andn looked up places in Madrid I’d like to visit. I found Madrid Hotels In Destinia that are pretty reasonable and there are plenty of things to do in Madrid! I could lose myself there. It’s one of the European cities I’d like to visit and if ever I get the chance next year – I’m calling Miguel!
I am so enjoying this. I got to meet great people and made great friends from a few short days I spent with them. Is this the time to say, I love my job? Not quite.
