Ronard Odoom is my name. A Ghanaian Italian based boy of 17 years who is a third year student of Institute of Lazzaro Spallanzani offering Sala Bar and Vendita.
I am also an athlete and I am passionate about the work I do.
My Trip
We(a group of 13 students with a professor and a tutor) departed from the Institute of Lazzaro Spallanzani in a bus to Milan Malpensa Airport around 12midnight on the 5th of September 2022, which lasted about about 3 hours.
We then departed from the airport with Ryanair to Kalamata which also lasted about 3 hours. We were accompanied to Hotel Vista Marina by another bus as soon as we arrived at the airport.
On our arrival, we made our way out to the beach to swim for a while, explored a bit by going for a stroll.
We had lunch and returned to the hotel where we were assigned our rooms( three to a room) with the kitchen downstairs and a nice view from the balcony.
On the second day, we filled some forms and partook in a physical activity to get to know ourselves. After, we headed to the supermarket to buy groceries.
That evening, we all cooked and ate together and after, myself and a couple of friends sat outside to chitchat and have fun.
All dressed and headed to the center of the city, we made our way out to the center of the city for sight seeing. We later found a pub and we all sat to have a drink and chitchat for awhile.
It’s a nice city with modern shops and pubs and ancient buildings for sight seeing.
Work
Two days after our arrival, we were individually or some in small groups introduced to our work places to meet the general managers or the owners.
Two of my friends from the kitchen department and myself were assigned to the same hotel.
My first day at work, I got to meet some of my colleagues and I was assigned to assist at the bar.
With the help of barista, I prepared so many coffees and cappuccinos and as time went on, like about 3 to 4 days after, I use to work quite alone and also prepared some cocktails and other Greek beverages.
