The place is located on Hikarinomori. There is a big shopping mall, and the name is "youme town." This is one of the most famous shopping centers in Kumamoto. My work place is in its first floor. In first floor, there are a grocery store, bakery, some clothing stores and accessories stores, and some restaurants. Osyo lines up end of the "restaurant city." So many customers come in.
I always go to there by driving my car. I go to the university by car, so if I am going to work, I will go on the way to back to home. This place gets between my house and university. On weekend, I go to there from from my house, and it takes about thirty minutes more. Sometimes it takes less than an hour when it is traffic congestion. Sometimes I see off and meet on return my colleagues to her housse if it is rainy. When I am tired, I don't want to drive. But dinner after working is very delicious.
At my work place, many kind of people exist, for example, regular employee, working adult, house wife, young people subsisting on part time work, and student of technical school, beauty school, high school, or university. Counting the number if the employees, about thirty people work at there. They are so kind at all. Having nothing to do with thinking about our ages, we are getting along well each other. We often eat out after working, and go to karaoke with members. In fact, since I started this work, there was nobody who is acquaintance with me. So I was very nervous, but thanks to them, I can continue to work until now. I don't feel like to retire Osyo.
Osyo is Chinese restaurant. It offers Chinese food. Of course, the most famous cooking is pot-stickers, and this is called Japanese-gyoza, too. Next to this, noodles are popular, and Chinese-style fried rice is eaten by guest. I like Chinese food very much, above all, my favorite food is pot-stickers. In addition, at Hikarinomori store, it establishes a drink bar, so people can drink freely. There are soft drinks, hot drinks, tea, coffee, and so on.
Schedule of work is decided by a shop manager. It is listed up every half of a month, so it is difficult a little bit for me to adjust my personal affairs, club activity, and time to study or do my homework. I usually work four or five times a week, and mainly it is Saturday and Sunday. These days are very busy, so it is needed people to work more. On weekday, it is less the number of people to come than weekend. In fact, I want to spend time to do my favorite thing, read books, sleep, do my homework, go shopping with my friends, and walk my dog, but it is hard.
Also, I can take a brake while working. If it is on weekend, I am usually given two hours or two hours and thirty minutes in the afternoon. Because weekend is so busy, so a manager says, "you should provide for peak time of night." On weekday, if there is little guest, I am often thirty minutes. While rest time, some employees eat desserts, sleep in office, others listen to the music. All of them may be tired, so everyone has to relax.
