Most challenging workaway trip so far

I'm too blessed to meet n live with Wonder Woman n Superman at one time in the same roof for over a month. You know, Hong Kong people is famous of working long hours over the world already, but compare with them, we are far too inferior. Eileen works over 18-20 hours nonstop on baking days (except meals),… read more needn't eat, drink, pee on selling days, whereas Michael has a full time job on week days in Vancouver, not only keeps working hard n productive when he is home, but also involves in different cycling race n event during weekend. I always joked they do live pretty much more lifetime than ordinary people. lol

Apart from working long hours, the main challenge is I know completely nothing in bakery before I came. I have even no oven at home in HK, but assisted Eileen in selling n taking down the stall in the Farmers' Market right away at the first minute of arrival with my luggage, started the nonstop busy baking day the next day, n selling day the day followed. I'm lucky I had been trained for years in my own business with similar no buffer to rest before, otherwise I guess I can hardly survive, haha! Indeed, this intensive 8-Farmers' Market on job training granted me precious opportunity for learning bakery efficiently n comprehensively. It's far more valuable n precious than attending any bakery class as I not only learned the skills n techniques in bakery, but also experienced the whole business routine. Thank you so much for Eileen's kind n patient teaching.

Except bakery, I have mere experience in gardening too. Really grateful I had chances to help in their beautiful farm n garden too. Though weeding is kind of tough job for people from city like me, I found it an incredible working meditation indeed. Besides, harvesting makes me even more thankful n appreciated to our mother nature. Thanks Eileen for letting me taste n teaching me different food preserved recipes.

Among all, staying in their cabin at Gun Lake during the long weekend was the most memorable highlight in this trip. You can hardly imagine these kind of workaholic Wonderful Woman n Superman enjoy relaxing at their private dock for three days. This is what the HK people have to learn from - what's a real life. Thanks for bringing me to such a stunning arcadia, at 3,000m altitude, purified water from glaciers. This is quite an unforgettable experience in my life.

No matter how many times of thank you can't reflect my authentic gratitude to this awesome couple. They are not only vigorous, positive minded, enthusiastic in life, but also well compatible with each other. Enjoy chatting with Eileen about her past diversified life experiences, different cultural topics, as well as joking with them together. My heartfelt blessing to their new bakery, all the best to next season new business, n an even more wonderful n enjoyable life. Take care! Love you two!

P.S. In memory of my uncle, he passed away unexpectedly end of the first week of this trip. Thanks for letting me experience life is impermanent.
