Crazy job story

[Sabotuer [Q2C]]

I'm working as a porter now in a hotel in Reykjavík (Capital of Iceland) called Nordica!

Sometimes there comes people to my desk and ask me for any kind of help, and today this japanese woman came to me and said "reykho". After about 5 minutes I found out that she was talking about Hotel Reykjavík and that she couldn't understand any english except; yes, no and thank you.
Well the Hotel she was looking for was only 2 streets down so I tried for 10 minutes to tell her that! Finally she went off, to the revolving door, took one circle with it and came back to my desk, looking like a lost kid in a forrest full of angry bears, almost crying!

I pitied her so much that I just decided to walk to the hotel so this poor 50 years old japanese person could stop bugging me. A 2 minute walk suddenly changed into 5 minute walk because the poor woman was like half of my height and was on high heels. I walk fast, so if that woman wanted to get to her hotel she had to walk fast. She almost cried of pain on the way, but couldn't be more thankful when we finally got to the hotel!

He's the first line of defense against the tourists!

Just the right description of my job

But I wasn't blessed with any karma today, I went to get my full drivers license, but I only got a 2 years license because I got arrested for not wearing a safety belt in february, totally sucks

Hehe.

Wow, there's a word I haven't heard for a long time.. safety belt.
