The view from our new home.

Alright one last note.
I am thrilled to report that Dan and I have fully assimilated to our new surroundings and more traditional lifestyle. We have successfully completed re-entry. For a while there we were worried about burning up, but the warning lights and buzzers seem to have been greatly exaggerated.

I lasted all of two weeks at my first job. Truth be told, after the first two hours I knew it was a bad fit. But once again the stars were aligned and through a chance meeting I secured an interview for a not-yet-listed job opening with Aspen Skiing Company and got hired on the spot. Somehow I have dumb-lucked my way into my perfect job. One that blends the things I already know how to do, with the chance to continue learning and gain real life experience in the field of marketing, (which is what my degree is in). And it is for a skiing company!

Dan is busy saving lives. He has had to adjust to adding “what illegal drugs have you taken today and is there any silicone in your body that I should know about”, to his laundry list of pre-treatment questions, but otherwise it was like riding a bicycle, everything just came back to him. He has been offered a job on Aspen Highlands ski patrol, which he is very excited about. Highlands’ is a prestigious patrol and he’ll get to throw bombs, in the name of avalanche mitigation, which is every man’s dream now isn’t it.


With much assistance from our friends we have secured housing. While the home is not much to speak of, the views would make it worthwhile even if there were only an outhouse and fire pit for creature comforts. Every weekend has found us biking and hiking in the beautiful forest lands around here. We hiked from Aspen to Crested Butte for lunch one day, an 11 mile hike with a 90 mile car ride back to the starting point. Most recently we have been hiking to see the fall foliage which is like watching a wave of fire sway across the sky. Flaming yellows, oranges and reds, intermixed with bright green, the stark grays of granite and the white of freshly fallen snow. If you have never visited Colorado in the fall, what’s keeping you?


The Maroon Belles, along the trail to Crested Butte.

Our lives here are so full that I really don’t miss traveling. I walk past the camper everyday and wave at it like you would an old friend. Sometimes I do miss the compactness of it, like when I have to get out of bed to brush my teeth, or start the coffee maker, but mostly it is just a great reminder of how lucky I am, and how I need to never forget it.


The crest between Aspen and Crested Butte.

I really have become a happier, more confident and, I think, better person because of this trip. If possible I adore my husband even more than when we left, and I have managed to fold the sense of adventure that came with being in a new place everyday, into being in the same place, (albeit still a new place to me). I have been taking lots of photos, it is easy to be inspired with the views we have and on the route I drive to work each morning. Dan has been busy keeping off the weight he lost when he was ill by riding long bike trails and hiking every chance he gets. I am channeling my inner Italian mother, force feeding him every fattening thing I can find. (In my mind a man who is 6’2” tall should not weigh 155lbs!)


Avalanche chute along Avalanche Creek, outside of Redstone, Colorado.

I truly appreciate all of the emails I have received asking us to continue the blog, but I just think it has reached a nice, tidy, ending point. If anything that really pertains to it pops up I may put some quick snippets on here, but otherwise I thank you all for a fantastic ride and wish that each of you will enjoy a journey of your own, sooner rather than later. I hope that you will continue to fill us in on your lives, so many of you have become our friends and mentors along the way, and it brings a smile to my face when I know that we helped someone plan their trip, or inspired someone to follow a similar path.
Again thank you.

2020.04.11因一名酒店工作酒店小姐確診武漢肺炎導致全台酒店停止酒店上班,外界好奇究竟酒店業者透過哪些管道找來酒店打工公關小姐坐檯?酒店經紀又以哪些話術吸引年輕妹妹投入?《酒店上班新聞網》為您揭開人肉市場的秘辛。台灣酒店招攬小姐模式一般可分三大類,最大宗為有黑幫背景的酒店經紀公司,透過旗下男女幹部對外招攬小姐,比例約佔7成之多;第二為跑單幫的個人經紀約佔2成,店家自聘酒店PT小姐則佔1成。現今八大行業酒店經營型態與過去大不相同,店家為了避免自聘小姐的壓力,早已透過公關經紀公司機動徵調小姐,一來可免去管理小姐的困擾,也可避免如這波受疫情影響必須支出小姐固定薪資的壓力。酒店公關小姐來源最多的是經紀公司,他們由具黑幫背景的幹部組成,一家公司旗下可能有數十位男女經紀幹部,每位幹部掌握少則個位數、多則數十人的經紀體系,每天與酒店業者保持密切連繫,先掌握每天下午酒店公關小姐報班人數,再依酒店業者當天訂檯狀態,機動調整、調派公關小姐上班地點,把有限的公關小姐人力做最適當的安排。經紀公司因規模較大且有組織,旗下掌握小姐又多,一般酒店業者不敢輕易得罪,深怕斷了自己的新血貨源,也因此擁有較大薪資議價空間。另一種個體戶、跑單幫的個人經紀,他們透過各大商圈、車站、西門町等年輕人較常聚群的地點,現場實地挑選欲網羅對象,也在各大社群媒體尋找小有名氣的網紅、或較具姿色的女直播主、缺工作的展場模特兒,甚至連外拍攝影圈女模也都是他們獵人頭的主要管道。八大行業知名酒店經紀「梁曉尊」指出,一般有公司背景的經紀較有制度,嚴禁經紀與小組談感情,目的是避免因感情糾紛影響生意;但個體戶的經紀除了要從小姐身上賺到錢外,連小姐的肉體也是他的覬覦目標,簡言之,個體戶經紀是錢跟人他都要。不論個體戶或經紀公司幹部,他們分現實社會與網路世界兩種方式獵取目標。在現實社會方面,他們會到年輕女生常去的景點現場看貨,如北市敦南、西門町等各大商圈、車站、捷運站等地點,如遇到心儀欲鎖定對象,則由年輕、帥氣、一身名牌的帥哥上場,以交友名義互換連絡方式,或送上經紀名片表達有賺大錢的機會,吸引女子注意。若年輕妹對賺錢話題有興趣,經紀會立即將她們帶到附近速食店、飲料店等地點詳談;事後還以通訊軟體聯繫的年輕妹,經紀就會發動話術攻勢,吹噓投入人肉市場可日進斗金,甚至也可預支現金應急,若年輕妹表現出心動之意,則會將她們約出相談進一步細節。「那種年紀小卻愛畫濃妝的少女很好得手!」,經紀阿偉得意地說,這類少女一般較為叛逆,對物質享受較講究,也因此最容易得手。「只要幹部長得帥,搭配一身名牌服飾、蘋果手機」,行情的打扮很容易吸引少女目光。而八大行業名酒店經紀「梁小尊」指出,商圈中有些學生妹很喜歡穿假名牌,她就抓準這些沒錢但又愛慕虛榮的少女心態,以「可預支現金、免利息」的話術吸引她們的注意,「只要留下聯繫方式就有機會」,就算第一次無法說明,改天也可約來出吃飯慢慢洗腦,從對話中了解對方是否缺錢,重要的是經紀本身要把自己打扮得光鮮亮麗,才能有「行情很好」的感覺,讓對方羨慕後願意加入這行。在網路世界方面,包括各大社群媒體的網紅、女直播主,或受疫情影響缺工作的展場模特兒,甚至連外拍攝影圈女模也是酒店經紀急欲鎖定的對象。梁曉尊/梁小尊指出,這類女子因過去習慣「吃好、用好、穿好」,一身名牌是標準打扮,一旦景氣不好,或是她們花費較大,就有可能投入人肉市場。「梁曉尊/梁小尊」表示,網紅、直播主、模特兒可透過網路觀察她們的五官、身材等條件,基本上入行資格很容易判斷,也由於她們條件優,可轉介到高檔酒店上班,由此管道找到的妹相當搶手,但她們也常因賺夠了就立即離開,上班時間短、穩定性不足是這類酒店公關小姐的通病。

2020.06.19酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容今年4月國內出現首例酒店女公關確診武漢肺炎,為防堵疫情,中央流行疫情指揮中心宣布,自4月9日起,全國酒店、舞廳停止營業,直到5月中疫情趨緩,各縣市才陸續解除禁令,但在我在酒店上班的日子八大行業歇業期間不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因,淋病感染卻意外激增,5月底確診數竟比過去3年同期平均數上升逾8成,醫師推測酒店上班-酒店兼職-兼差如何達成人生的第一桶金,這與性交易轉往地下化有關。根據疾病管制署酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?傳染病統計資料,性傳染病中淋病感染者近期顯著上升,比較2017、2018、2019與今年1月到6月初數據職場須知 【酒店PT 】,發現2017年在這段時間累計有2166例,2018年同期則有1903例,2019年同期為1875人確診,但2020年同期則有2574人確診,比前3年都高。再細看國內八大行業禁令與淋病成長趨勢,可發現淋病確診在八大行業4月9日喊卡當周有109例,到了5月第2周升高至135例,接下來有些微下降,但到5月最後1周又飆到142例,創下今年單周最高紀錄,和前3年同期平均數相較,更足足暴漲86.6%,且到了下一周、即6月第一周,仍有133 例,顯示疫情仍在高峰。至於同樣是性病的梅毒,確診個案則未明顯增加。針對八大行業禁令與淋病感染增加的關係,林口長庚醫院男性學及婦女泌尿科主任陳煜說,應與消費生態與客群產生變化有關,因酒店的消費較高,帶出場的門檻也高,但酒店歇業後,小姐還是要生活,只好轉入地下,進行性交易的頻率可能提高,才導致淋病增加。陳煜解釋,過去有研究發現,私下進行性交易的客群,以中下層、低消費的族群較多,而這些人使用保險套的情形也較不普遍,發生性病的風險偏高。淋病感染激增,梅毒疫情卻沒有擴大,對此陳煜認為,染淋症狀明顯,常有尿道灼熱感,且性器會流出黃綠色濃液,而梅毒感染初期可能僅有輕微的皰疹,較不容易發現,所以才有兩種性病趨勢大不同的特殊現象。疾管署副署長莊人祥說,近期確實發現淋病確診明顯增加,從年齡層分析,以20歲到29歲增幅最大,比去年1月至5月增逾300例;30歲到39歲也增約百例,且男多於女,增加個案以六都為主;至於與八大行業禁令的關係,他則說,詳細原因仍待疾管署進行相關調查。

華燈初上公關小姐工作內介紹
不管是正在看,或已經看完 Netflix《華燈初上》的朋友,應該都對劇情當中神秘的「酒店打工條通」、「酒店上班」文化感到非常好奇吧?日式酒店小姐們酒店上班賣的真的只有「曖昧」嗎?應徵酒店小姐需要具備什麼技能?八大行業裡「這個酒店工作」工作居然最難勝任?今天 MF 請來「酒店工作條通媽媽桑」席耶娜為大家全盤解答,一窺神秘的秘辛!
「條通」在哪裡台北的哪裡?日式酒店和台式酒店差別是什麼?
「條通」係指由台北市長安東路、南京東路、中山北路到新生北路四條路所圍成的一個區域。條通早期稱為「大正町」,是日本高官酒店消費的集會地,此地也以「日式酒店」居多,也是大家熟知的中山區林森北一帶。日式酒店和台式酒店又有什麼差別呢?台式酒店「私檯」較多,而日式酒店則以「公檯」為主。相對而言,日式酒店小姐更需要讓客人印象深刻,才不會在輪調檯的時候被客人遺忘。日式酒店小姐的交際手腕為何,也將在影片中一一介紹。
日式酒店小姐需多才多藝?最難做的八大行業是「這個」?
就跟《華燈初上》裡楊謹華飾演的蘇慶儀一樣,酒店裡不管是大學生郭雪芙酒店兼差小姐或是老闆媽媽桑,除了基本的交際手腕之外,也需要具備高爾夫球、插花等等才藝。
席耶娜也透露,其實八大行業裡最難擔任的職位竟是酒店「男公關」?原因非常簡單,因為他們必須經常面對真實身分為「這行」的客人?答案及為何難對付,也將在專訪影片中揭曉啦!
