Our customers from China and Hong Kong this morning left with a sweet message. Thank you so much for your continuing support. The people of Japan appreciate your thoughts and prayers very much.
One of the guys also had a really cool pink camera. I've never seen a professional camera like this in any fashionable colors before. You scored some major style points with this one! Btw I also got to take a few photos with it. :)
It's already a second day of June, I think time has been passing faster than ever..?
In Japan, the rainy season is just around the corner and some people might be feeling sort of down, however I am very happy to inform you this news to you!!
One of our favorite guests at Sakura Hotel Hatagaya, Daniela-chan(in the middle), from Itary who has been here in Japan many times, wrote us the happiest comment on her facebook which reads;
'日本に帰りたい！（＝I really come back to Japan!!)'☆
She wrote the message IN JAPANESE, including Kanji!
We went to Karaoke Box in Shinjuku.
I am sure it won't be too long until I see their pretty faces again!
They bought the cloths in Harajuku, and Koenji station.
(Harajuku and Koenji are the most famous shopping spots of second-handed fashion items. but their cloths are not second-handed, it was new one, they said.)
AND...
How lovely her pantyhose is!
Looks a machine gun design?
Totally perfect fashion I think.
Whom I can meet the next guests from oversea at Sakura Hotel Hatagaya?☆
A group of friends from Malaysia. They were taking photos together before they left, so we jumped at the opportunity and took some together with them :)
These two guests are from Argentina and stayed with us for over week. They were always up for a little small talk with our staff. Their backpacks look really heavy, don't they? XD
We hope you all enjoyed your time in Japan. Have a safe trip! See you again some day! (^O^)/
We've got a group of guests from Uzbekistan staying at our hotel at the moment. Only one of them speaks English, so we basically communicate with guestures. XD
Yesterday they had a little nomikai at our cafe. They brought vodka and some traditional meat dish from Uzbekistan, and offered us to eat & drink with them.
Of course we can't drink while working, so we opted for water instead. Looks just like vodka, don't you think? ;)
They are going to stay for a few more days. Today they went shopping with Shinichi. I heard they want to cook for us later. I wonder what they are going to prepare.
Our group of JICA trainees who stayed with us last week!
They are a multi-cultural group from countries like Nicaragua, Indonesia, Armenia, Cambodia, the Philippines and so on, and even though they just came back from a bus trip to Wakayama where they stayed for the last 5 days or so, they are all in a really good mood.
Our hotel lobby got really lively as soon as they walked in. :D
They are going to stay with us for a while longer.
Welcome back at Sakura Hotel Hatagaya. We missed you guys!
Today Miki from Sakura Cafe Ikebukuro came over to say hi to us! She seemed to like our Christmas decoration.
And Maiko tried to steal it back! I surprised her. lol
Speaking of Maiko... I told you that she is a very kind person in the introductory post I wrote about her. Remember? Today she helped a customer from Indonesia to send a letter to a Japanese friend.
And guess what!!!...
He came back with flowers for her to show his appreciation!
3 members including me from Sakura group went to Singapore for 6 days to promote our business last week.
,
At first, we exhibited in AFA 2011 (Anime Festival Asia) which is the largest Anime event of Southeast Asia.
Many many people were there, and it was so fun!
Especially we met some our friends who stayed with us before :)
And also we gathered with our guests one night on Japanese Izakaya in there
.
We could met our old friends and new friends in Singapore at that time, had lovely time.
This trip was for the business, so we have no enough time to see everything in Singapore, but we could see a Marina Bay sands which is a famous hotel in Japan lately, and of course the Mar-Lion.
And we tried many kind of foods!!!
Thank you for all people who met in Singapore, we enjoyed very much!!
Actually it was my third time to went Singapore, but I would like to visit there again for sure.
They are guests from Thiland, 11 people (friends each other).
And today they left our hotel....We feel lonely....
They said to us ' KOPPUN-Kah！'(The original thailand letters cannot be used on this article' when they checked out , it means 'thank you' in Thailand language!

Oh, and this is totally unrelated, but I really like this photo of Ai being absorbed in her work while the workers in the background are tearing down the wall next to her. XD
Darf ich vorstellen? Das ist Janne aus Finnland. Er ist Musiker und Stammgast bei uns im Sakura Hotel Hatagaya. Wir mögen ihn alle, weil er so nett und bescheiden ist, und freuen uns immer, wenn er mal wieder bei uns zu Besuch ist. Und er heißt auch noch so ähnlich wie ich! :)
(This is Janne from Finnland. He's a musician and a frequent guest at Sakura Hotel Hatagaya. We all like him a lot because he's always polite and very modest. We are always happy when he stays with us.)
Janne spricht übrigens 7 Sprachen. Nicht alle fließend, wie er sagt, aber ich bin trotzdem sehr beeindruckt! Neulich hat er kurz mit mir auf Deutsch geredet und ich war total baff wegen seiner guten Aussprache. Normalerweise reden wir aber auf Japanisch oder Englisch.
(Janne speaks 7 languages. Not all of them fluently, as he is eager to add, but I'm impressed nontheless! He talked to me in German a while ago and really surprised me with his good pronounciation. Ususally we talk in English or Japanese though.)
Ich war offenbar die erste im Hotel, mit der er Englisch gesprochen hat. Ai war ganz überrascht, weil sie ihn bis dahin immer nur Japanisch hatte reden hören. Dabei freuen sich im Hotel immer alle über eine Gelegenheit Englisch zu sprechen. :)
(It seems I was the first staff member he talked to in English, by the way. Ai was really surprised when she found out, because she had only ever heard him speak in Japanese. Maybe I should tell him that my co-workers are always glad about an opportunity to use English with our guests.)
Btw, I'm going to Nagoya next week for an extended weekend! I'll tell you about my trip in my next post. Any recommendations for sightseeing or local food??
Nach zwei Monaten, die ich jetzt im Sakura Hotel Hatagaya arbeite, durfte ich heute endlich den ersten deutschen Gast begruessen, der sich seit dem Erdbeben zu uns gewagt hat.
Das musste ich natuerlich fuer die Nachwelt festhalten. Darf ich vorstellen: Gottlieb! Ich hab ihn vor Aufregung direkt geduzt. Aber er hat's mir hoffentlich nicht uebel genommen.
Miwa und Yukako haben ihm natuerlich gleich freudig erzaehlt, dass ich schon den ganzen Tag auf ihn gewartet hatte. Es hat gut getan mal wieder Deutsch zu reden. Mittlerweile bin ich allerdings so daran gewoehnt, alles auf Japanisch und Englisch zu erklaeren, dass mir ab und zu die Woerter nicht eingefallen sind. Ich konnte mich partout nicht daran erinnern, dass receipt auf Deutsch Quittung heisst. Er hat mir dann netterweise auf die Spruenge geholfen. :)
Er bleibt leider nur zwei Tage bei uns, aber bald kommt ihr ja alle her und sorgt dafuer, dass ich mein Deutsch nicht vergesse. ;)
Heute hatte ich zum ersten Mal seit ich hier arbeite einen deutschen Anrufer am Telefon! Ich hab mich total gefreut mal Deutsch sprechen zu koennen bei der Arbeit! Er hat ein Zimmer reserviert und wir haben uns ein paar Minuten ueber die Lage in Japan unterhalten.
Meine Kolleginnen sind ganz hellhoerig geworden, als sie ploetzlich nicht mehr verstanden haben, was ich gesagt habe. Aber es war schon toll, mal nicht angestrengt zuhoeren zu muessen, um zu verstehen was gesagt wird. :D Telefonieren auf Japanisch faellt mir immer noch etwas schwer, vor allem wenn viele Hintergrundgeraeusche zu hoeren sind.
Momentan haben wir uebrigens auch einen Gast aus der Schweiz. Mit dem konnte ich mich gestern auch schon ein wenig auf Deutsch unterhalten. Danach hatte ich irgendwie den ganzen Tag gute Laune. :)
Also, kommt alle her und redet mit mir! Ich freu mich auf euch!
