蜜月旅行的準備~Honeymoon Preparation 2

生命中有許多不可預期的事情,這幾年我已逐漸可以冷靜和快速面對這些事情,
There are lots things are unexpected in life and these years I gradually can be clam and efficiently face these matters.

當第1次我發信到曼爾曼圖(Fremantle)的瑜珈靈修中心,詢問wwoof機會時,
是一位女士回信給我,她附上該瑜珈靈修中心的介紹及在瑜珈中心要做那些工作,告訴我如果覺得有興趣,請再10月底和她再確認一次,
於是我回覆她,我可以接受一切,然後會在10月底和她再確認。
在忙工作、婚禮之際,不知不覺也到了十月,所以我發了一封信給對方做最後確認。
過了幾天,我收到回覆的郵件,
回覆信給我的內容是,我們今年wwoof的名額已滿。
(回我信的人,並不是一開始和我連繫的女士) 在那一瞬間,我有些不知所措,因為距離出發只剩10天!

While the first time I sent email to the yoga ashram inFremantle for inquiring the wwoofing possibility, I received the replaying email from a lady and she send the introduction about the yoga centre and also what the job I would do in the yoga centre.
She mentioned if I still feel interested in doing wwoofing, I can contact her again in October for confirmation. While busy with my wedding, work, October was head over and I sent an email to the lady for final confirmation.
After few days, I received an email and it was indicated there is no place for any wwoffer until the end of the year (2010).
(the person replied my email was the same lady) At the time I read the email, I was totally shocked as it is only 10 days leave before my departure.


我弄不太清楚狀況,不了解是後來回信給我的人,不了解狀況,還是我真的弄錯了,
於是我又再寫了一封信給對方,弄清楚一切。
後來,我收到一開始回信給我的人的信件,她告訴我,非常不好意思,當初她沒有說清楚,她希望我10月底再和她確認,是指她認為雖然當時已額滿,但距離我入住還有一些時間,也許事情會變化,也許就會有位置了,可是現在是確定沒有位置的。
由於我的信件最後的簽名檔寫著 “不批評,但單純的微笑以對” ,她在信中還寫了希望,我能“不批評,但單純的微笑以對” 面對這件事。

I was so confused since I did not understand if the guy who replied my email was not sure about the situation or I had misunderstanding the email earlier.
 I sent another email to them again and tried to clarify everything.
Then I received the email from the lady (original one) and she told me she feels sorry regarding the misunderstanding situation. She thought it was full but things may change as my first inquiry was a couple of moths before.
However it’s confirmed it is full now. As my signature on the email was “simply no judge but smile back” and she hope I can simply face this matter and no judge.

收到她的回信,我的確沒有生氣,只是開始盡快著手想辦法,畢竟這只是文字解讀上的誤解和落差,我自己也應該負責任。
我回覆她,謝謝她現在告訴我,至少我不是在出發前2天才知道,我只希望夠幸運,能快點找到住的地方。

After I received her email, I did not feel angry but want to start find my solution way.
Since it was just communication mistake and I should take my responsibility as well.
So I replied her thanking for telling me “now” but not two days before my departure.
I just hope I am lucky enough to find a place to stay as soon as possible.

也許是我以正面的態度,處理這件事,一切比我想像的還順利,
首先是瑜珈靈修中心的人很快回覆我信,她告訴我,如果我真的找不到地方住,我還是可以去住,只需要1週付澳幣170元,然後每天做1小時的工作,這個費用還包3餐和瑜珈課,
接著同時有另一個在柏斯的學生,放假要回台灣,她也告訴我,我可以住她的房間,而且還不用付房租。
無論是那一邊,住2週都不太好意思,所以我最後安排了各住1週。整件事發生在婚禮的當週,我卻只花了3天的時間,解決了一切問題。
我和朋友說,也許要當新婚的人,比較幸運。

Maybe since I had positive attitude to deal with this matter, everything went much better smoothly than I thought.
 Firstly the lady from yoga ashram replied me if I can not find a place to stay, I still can go to yoga ashram but I should pay A$170/week for 3 meals and free yoga class and plus 1 hr karma yoga only (working hour).
Also, one of my students in Perth was going back to Taiwan for holiday and she told me I can stay at her room without paying rent. Either side to stay for 2 weeks was too long so I made the decision to stay one place for one week.
 The whole thing happened just one week before my wedding and I managed to figure it out in 3 days.
 I told my friends maybe I am very lucky because I’m getting married.
