Business Trip Excursion Activity
November 28, 2006
Today I tasted full privilege from being in lower middle management, or middle lower management depending on your perspective. I, along with a few others, got to visit a hotel in Osaka and administer level check tests to different hotel staff the entire day. Compared to my usual day at the office, this was like a trip to Disneyland.
I adorned my company pin for the first time ever, put up my best face, and slicked my hair up for this. I was rather surprised that several of the people I met had been in Vancouver. Two of them even studied four years of college. One of them became visibly excited when I told her I was from Vancouver. It was like she had met a celebrity while I just sat there and stared at her rather strong reaction.
This has been one of the most interesting days of work ever. Back there tomorrow too!

I don’t get it… are you testing people in the hotel industry on their English skills? I’m not sure what a “level check test” is all about.

Exactly. I’m checking their English level.
