Oh, My Hans, he is come to me again......
This British lady living in Australia chatted me with her tears suddenly to told me her husband it's came...... Oh my god O
As always, we are work at 3PM, This Thursday afternoon we do received other hotel phone call, they asked do we have a available room? Our response is to say, The customers must be come theirs own, but we all know that it should be another hotel reject case that way they referral to here, hung up the phone then start busy ready to work with other matters. About 3 hours later, we saw a police car parked in front of our hotel, then, an old lady to go off the police car, police car drove away without looking at it, this old lady when she opened our hotel door, her strong smell of her sweaty or ??? we try to stop breathing but we can't keep longer anymore, Yumi chan so lucky quickly to put on a mask, I and bobby san can't run, so, we have to face it.
This Australian old lady has a thick British accent, she's constantly to complaining the weather so hot and AUD exchange rate how low in the Japanese Bank, I looked at her obviously she is really exhausted, faltering the dragging suitcases seeing is about not drag and ready to fail, I'm quickly to help her to drag her luggage to get in, this old lady with a very very slow tone to saying she wants a room to stay for 5 night, I knew she had a problem Immediately, she with a thick British accent slowly to said what happened first thing with other hotel, she did not want to stay an appointment directly, that restaurant probably looked after her condition, told her that currently there is only one chamber and is upstairs through, you would think, for a 68-year-old lady who has a bad knees how did she to climb through on the second floor? thats impossible, then the old lady said that she can sleep at hotel ground floor, they are not agree with her this crazy idea, to send her away to ask her to find another hotel.....
yep, that is why Margaret's come to our hotel the reasons, of course, the other reason is that she has a slightly dementia problem plus strong smell of sweat, that's why the other hotel refused her reasons, Bobby san in the beginning kinda don't want to take this old lady in, he's constantly to asking her some irrelevant questions, I probably know he was trying to deny but don't know how to deal with, I'm behind Bobby san to poke him few times, I want Bobby san not to rush her, no matter where she go will be reject anyway....Because I could not bear to see her in this hot weather and poor health still need to find some hotels
so that..... we take her in.......
When I saw Margaret took a purse from her with a bunch of disorganized AUD JPY, I began to beat my forehead, Oh! My God! How could anyone like her to misplacing money! Watching her slowly to count the numbers for the Japanese yen and ready to pay money for the room, I thought: how did She's pass through these few days? when she received some money into her purse while she do keep to complaining about exchange rate is very bad in Japan, I found also there is a small gallipot she's not take back, I asked to her what kind of drugs she to using now? because Margaret's had dementia symptoms I want to remind her to take medication regularly, then results is....... she used specific the slowly voice to replied: oh~ this bottle is I put my Hans ash ...... (⊙ˍ⊙) hmmmmm…..what? ohhhhh ~ My God! ! ! ! I may almost throw out with the bottle..... but I am still very calm returned to her ..... I'm thinking holy crap! ! ! I slept for two days how explosive slept unsaturated o_O ||! also been a lots of strange dream (@~@) Bobby san are so worried about my unusual sleep, because i always get up early than him...
when she knew I have a cat then, the moment she atheism and tired eyes become very directly energized~ like a child to saying: I can see your baby daughter cat? I said: of course! I hold Isabella out of my room, Margaret's are happy like a little girl and directly toward her kiss kiss to Isabella, and, disconcertingly, usually it is my very difficult to deal with baby cat do Allow strangers to kiss her Lol I think isa must have been a special taste Marguerite overawed ~ take Marguerite to the room, give to her a glass of water and push her go take a bath, the way I helped her is for take out her nearly wearing one week the clothes thrown into my washing machine to wash, after showered she did not eat dinner go sleeps again! I can see she is very tired - I put a KFC chicken in her room, so she got hungry can find something to eat. begin ready to closing the finishing work, after the two of us in our room we do discussing this case about Margaret! Bobby san said: If not because I poked him a few times, he really want to send her to some place, he really would like to introduce her to the other Hotel. I said: Everyone will be old, some how can't inconvenient all the time! Marguerite are very tired and look so badly..... I can not stand it to see you sent her away! as long as she'll be clean will no problem! But! I think too naive ~ next to look how I'm to deal with the difficulties and the hard temper old lady LOL
Actually, Margaret's this time came to japan is to help her partner Mr. Hans to complete he's wishes, to sprinkled his ashes in Osaka Kyoto and other places, since the beginning of World War II, Mr. Hans is an orphan, is a Japanese family adoption and train him the spirit of Bushido, to put him in a box for 24 hour to overcome fears, furthermore, Margaret's would also like to meet her Japanese pen pal friend, over fifty years ago she has a Japanese pen pal, because of the war in Japan after the earthquake she's completely lost connection with her pen pal, in short, So, when Margaret complete sprinkle ashes in Osaka Kyoto, she try to get some hotel in-stay, but because she did not make any appointment, also summer break season and Fireworks season so the most hotel rooms was all full, she's kinda disappointed what happened to her so be train station, unfortunately, some police stepped by and do ask something, so she take the police car back to the police office, then, she vaguely to heard the police said that will like to sent back to the airport to return her country directly, if foreign tourists in Japan If you do not have an address to stay in the hotel, when the police to get you then in such a situation is need to be sent back to the airport directly, when Margaret's knew this news after she said to the police man: If you send me back to the airport I'll commit suicide died in front of police
(。_。) ahhhh~ she is really a stubborn old lady
So, when Margaret's was return back to train station is already close to midnight, she sitting in front of the train station looks helpless to crying, there is a Japanese family came to her and understanding the situation Margaret's has, so, Margaret's have a place to sleep! speak to here Margaret's cry again, she said: I would never thought there will be good people willing to take of her. the next morning she goodbye with the Japanese family after she took the bus come to Tokyo, the next thing is my good to me to headache enough LOL
I took care of Margaret's it's like my dear God to sent an angel try to training my patiences, but my patiences wasn't good enough for her..... Margaret's always said: I'm very independent person no need to take care within, but in fact, she's really needed someone to look after her indeed, because she needs to eat mild dementia and depression pills, sometimes are often to forget how to go back to hotel, like the next day she need to exchange AUD, so we told her the direction of the bank, the results..... she really got lost again.... it took her long time before she find the way back to her hotel...... then I cook her dinner, because I told her need to eat something then she can got some energy be able to walk! Margaret's likes to eat when someone next and to chat with her, though, Margaret's saying she could not eat the food what I made for her, but while she was eating also telling a story, in short, she's like a child, like someone to be accompany! After she finished meals, she said: physically my energy it's back! But I'm tired need to slept a little bit.... she went take a nap.
The next few days, seriously.... Margaret's she always have some thing happened, one day she went out go to the 100yen shop..... she lost again..... she went to police station to seek for some help, the police asking her passports for six times and asked her where she's live hotel? Suddenly her brain back to normal to said she live our hotel, and to showed police our hotel website paper, so the police man called to hotel want to verify if she is our guest? ! When we say yes, she is our guests. the police let Margaret's come back here..... lol here we no have any meaning to discrimination or against the old people, however, Margaret's have slightly dementia also have "age smelly" that's the plus one, No matter she's daily taken a bath still have bad smelly never go away~ latter she told me that she like to ate raw food, especially like to eat raw fish and vegetables...... every time, when she's walk back outside with the hot Weather to set in the hotel lobby, our hotel guests will be gone quickly... mostly they can not stand with Margaret's smelled ◎_◎
Once she came back from Ueno area, Margaret's when to Ameyoko cho to buy frozen salmon..... ready go to Ueno Park to feed the street cat, in this hot weather even frozen foods will melt too quickly deteriorated, so she take a salmon bag have salmon picnic over there also eaten raw salmon four pieces o_O || !when she returned to our hotel..... when the door is opened ..... ..... the fish smell plus her sweat .....it's like super good smelly..... don't even think too much! guests all gone quickly too....I immediately told Margaret's: That fish has been corrupted, you can not cook can not eat at the hotel, must be disposed of it now! in this moment~ Margaret's she was very angry with me to say why I do this to her? I really don't know how to explain with her, I said: Not everyone can stand with this fishy smelly, you do disturb guests to my hotel guests here! I have to be very honest and told her with a stern tone this is not acceptable to do it, she even said wanna give to my baby cat isabella..... I told Margaret's: Isabella's today eat sashimi already very full! Thank you for your kindness! In this way, despite her protests took that smelly fish bag wrapped with several layers of plastic throw in the trash can!
Finally to the Tuesday morning she's ready to go to the airport and to check out hotel, when Yumi chan come to work in the morning at 6:30 and found the lobby pull the curtain has been opened, Margaret's already inside to look read newspaper, when 9:00AM suddenly Margaret's told Yumi chan to said: ohhh, I really want to sleep~ can I lie down and sleep in the lobby? Yumi chan a quickly said: no! No! Other guests will mind! Unexpectedly Margaret's said: I do not mind~ ~ ~ Yumi chan finally please this old lady back to the room to get some sleep ~
Older is not shameful, everyone must go through with and die! But I want to say in this example by Margaret's case show to me, I got some sense of fear when I get old, we do not have kids, we never know I'll go die first or Bobby san? If leaving by myself soon maybe needs to faced with the problem of dementia elderly also stubborn problems peculiar to the time..... how can I do? The only certainty is that I will never ever to make myself smelly!

Widows and widowers, orphans, the old and childless as well as the sick and disabled are all well taken care of.」This should only exist utopian idea, right? Taiwan social welfare can't compared with European or other countries, Margaret have government welfare payments to take care with. But I still thank for Margaret's brings me some inspired, I want to buy more than one insurance Lol when I getting old at least have insurance can take care of me!
