Nomo Soho Hotel Visit

The experience of being in the Nomo hotel was amazing.  The most significant I learned while I was at the Nomo Hotel was the experience of the hospitality’s meaning since the words or the theory to the practice. Absolutely, was amazing learn the characteristics of each room, different prices and differents guests. Furthermore, it was powerful to observe the behavior and treatment that hospitality worker should provide, and the feelings that they convey providing a good experience. An action that I could take to network with the people that I met it’s thank them for give us the enriching experience of be in that hotel and provide us great knowledge about the rooms, departments, and experiences that they have had. What I really like of the Nomo Hotel is the all the design because I like the concept created from the movie “The Beast and The Beauty,” also the front yard. (Who designed and select all this have good taste). Continuously, one aspect of the Nomo Hotel that made me want to work in the lodging industry was that I like the idea that convey a good experience to the guests even though sometimes can be challenging. I feel that I need to prepared me to work in a luxury hotel in the future in a way that I can achieve my goals, for that reason since now I have to study more about hotels and select the area that I would like to work. Definitely, I felt very well going to the Nomo hotel because I got a lot of knowledge and I’ll remember always 2 great advises the first is that always we should be creative in hard situations and also when someone says thank you, I should response it’s my pleasure.

As we all know, in our 20s is the most confusing time in our life, because we have to face the choices of future career. In most families, parents have high expectations for their children’s future careers. They prefer their children to be lawyers, doctors, office workers, etc. I’m glad that my parents didn’t put pressure on me when I made my decision but supported me in everything I did. My goal is to graduate and improve my cooking skill and learn more about hospitality management. Being a chef or serving in a hotel is my career goal. that’s why I finally choose hospitality management as my major. I hope this a right decision for me. Life is experience, simple, I love to eat, and I love to cook for myself and my family. I wish I could see a happy smile on their faces because when people feel happy, I feel happy. I hope I’ve made the right decision and won’t disappoint my parents. keeping a passion for learning hospitality is my strength, the more knowledge I learn, the more opportunities I will have for my future life.

Mariano Feng Wu

In a Young age I was already having experiences on restaurant and cooking, because my parents are owners of a restaurant and I have eaten different culture food. Therefore, I learn how to cook and try to do different plates on my free style cooking, but I would like to have as many experiences on cooking and learn as much or recipies that can let me grow from this free style cooking as I can call it myself. althoung I know sure where I will end it by studying Hospitality management, I would like to grow more on this career because I know culinarie is on part of my life and I would like to explore more about the different cultures and food from different countries.
