It has been eight months since I moved to Hong Kong. My first impression of Hong Kong is upbeat, fast pace, and true hard working Chinese. Because who else would work seven days of week and make this city sleepless. After eight months I cannot be more wrong.
So this is how it goes. I have been looking for a housekeeper for a while, due to the long clinic hours and limited personal time. I would rather use the time I have to do the thing I enjoy, obviously cleaning is not. So Housekeeper A:
She came, did her cleaning and decide not continue after. Reason: because I left the garbage for her to throw out, which turns out to be too much work for her.....you know as a housekeeper this is what you do.
Housekeeper B:
She came, didn't even clean and decide to quit. Reason: she is afraid of my two years cat swazi. Well let me tell you little about Swazi, she is a house cat and very shy. She usually spends most of her day time sleeping in our drawers. So she is not a vicious animal, claw our your eyeball and eat you alive. Even if you are nice to her, she will come and furrrrr. Well housekeeper B is afraid of her. I specifically asked if she is allergic to the cat, no, not allergic to any animal, just simply "afraid" of animals including cat. So she didn't clean or do any of her job and left because she is afraid of 3 LB furry ball. You are a housekeeper, haven't kill a cockroach before? especially there are so so many of them in Hong Kong? Isn't cockroach an animal? I am speechless, this is the weirdest and most illogical excuses I have ever heard.
I am pretty angry with this situation, not going to lie, but angry with ..... I don't know what reason. I guess that's Hong Kong for you.
