  Beschreibung

  Hello, we are three friends, in the late 30's early 40's, from france setting up a hotel in South Sri Lanka.
  
  we all have different backgrounds and jobs based in Paris.
  - Jeremie does signs and decorations for events or bars, or stores.
  - Manu used to run a bar/club for 2 years and still work as an IT consultant.
  - As for me Emilie, i work in photography as a digital retoucher and graphic designer.
  
  As the opportunity popped up, we all three jumped on board for this new adventure. We arrived together at the very beginning of september and we are planning an opening on December 1st. Of course, there were much more work to be done at arrival then we expected but we sticked to the initial project, reconsidering our goals a bit.
  
  So this is kind of a last minute offer, for adventurous people. We like to do a lot of things ourselves, and we would be happy to get some help!
  
  If you are enthousiastic, easy going and open minded person, come and join us! you ll get to live at the sri lankan pace! ;-)

  Unterkunft

  You'll be living with us, in one of the hotel rooms, with private bathroom (shower). As we are not opened yet, it might be a bit simple. Probably no ACs, but a fan. Either you'll get a room on your own, or if there are more volonteers you might have to share it but it is unlikely to happen.
  
  We have a big kitchen, with two gas cooktop. two fridges, and lot's of space to make great meal.
  
  The hotel is right on the beach and the view is spectacular. we usual eat outdoor in our open bar space or courtyard.
  
  As we are still setting up the place, we are not yet fully equiped (no oven, no ACs)...
  
  We will provide breakfast (simple: coffe or tea, toasts, butter, jam, fruits and sometimes eggs) and one meal per day in a chill way sometimes we cook, sometimes we go to one of the many local places around, and once in a while we'll go to a more foreign food restaurant.
  
  We don't really have fixed schedule for meals as we try to be as flexible as we can to fit the day to day requirements... some day we have to go to the next city to buy wood, furniture, electrical supply... and as everything takes a lot of time here... sometimes the meals are delayed! but don't worry you won't be starving. Make sure you like fruits and asian currys cause we get lots of those.
