So I work in a hotel owned by a sheikh from dubai. That means that in the summer there are many Arabs. They are very rich and they don`t speak english very well. Here are examples of conversations on the phone.
"Good morning, valet, Lucy speaking."
"Hello, How are you?"
"Great, thank you."
"..."
"hello??"
"ehm, ee, ouee... pliiz, cam tu mai rum."
"You have some laundry?"
"Yes."
"Yes, I`m coming."
...tut-tut-tut-tut...
"Good morning, valet, Lucy speaking."
"Hello?!?!?!...Londrii?!?!?!"
"Yes, sir, this is laundry."
"plis. cam tu mai rum."
...
And conversation in their room five minutes later.
"Hello, sir. How are you?"
"Good. How are you?"
"Fine, thank you."
...
"eee, iii, press. nau."(pointing at a pile on a bed or giving me some clothes)
"But we can`t do it now, sir. Express service is in an hour."
"An hour???!!! No. 15 minits?"
"If you need it, sir, I can do a one or two items for you in half an hour. Is that okay?"
and then he usually chooses which t-shirt he really wants to wear NAU. But one guest was very funny. He kept saying "10 minutes" and started closing the door. So I ended up shouting at him "20 minutes, no! 20 minutes" through the doors that were slowly closing in front of my face.
These rich Arabs were very funny. But almost all of them left with the summer. bhuuu buhuuu. I`m gonna miss them so much. LANDRII??
