As you move towards the revolving door and into the lift, the doorman greets you with a simple "Good morning", a coffee in hand and sleepy eyes the lift takes you up to your office. You swipe your card and in you walk towards your desk but unlike other places - it seems like you were dipped into a fudge of language - like apples at Halloween that are dipped into caramel or chocolate!!!
The beauty of this job is that you are able to start in one language and finish in another - the person you talk to will always understand you.
In PNG, there are over 800 languages, maybe that is why it is easy to pick up a new language but in this global world where your clothes are made in China, your coffee is Kenyan, your bag is Italian, your scarf is Indian, the cheese is French, the wine is Australian ..... how can you not learn a new language?
It is refreshing to start and end your week communicating in different languages. I hope that you will be able to have that opportunity to take up a new language so that you too can walk through that corridor of multi-lingualism!!!
Bonne Journée et Hasta la proxima vez !!!
