(1512) MUSIC AND ME (March 08, 2018) SATISFYING JAPANESE AND CHINESE GUESTS (TIPS--$10.00 & $35.00 RESPECTIVELY)



On March 06, 2018, there is a big group of Japanese guests at the right side of the piano. I started playing Japanese songs for them. One of the ladies requested some Japanese songs and sang some part of "Sukiyaki Song".


     SATISFYING JAPANESE AND
   CHINESE/TAIWANESE GUESTS
   ($10.00 TIPS FROM JAPANESE;
     $35.00 TIPS FROM CHINESE)










One of the Chinese old ladies requested me to play Chinese/Taiwanese songs but I ignored her because they are all busy with loud talking.





A tall and younger looking Japanese lady gave me $10.00 tip and put it on top of the piano. Some staff saw it.

When the Japanese group left, that's the time that I played all Taiwanese/Chinese songs this time. The Chinese group are now listening to my music, especially the old lady who requested me to play Chinese songs earlier. Maybe she realized that I didn't play her request because they are busy with loud talking and the Japanese group were applauding to my Japanese songs rendition.









Tips started to pour on top of the piano --$5.00, $10.00 (3) and there is some jealousy again with the staff as they saw $45.00 total amount of tip on top of the piano.



Before playing Taiwanese/Chinese songs, I took some photos of the group which also took some photos with me.





Two of the waitresses hinted that they like me to keep the $40.00 and the $5.00 to them. I just ignore it. They have their own tips split among them twice a month.


I proceed to Breeze Bar to play another 2 hours of keyboard music. The regular Chinese group is there again. They usually paid their bill in cash (all in $5.00 bills). Their tips to me is also in $5.00 bill. I've got $15.00 tips from them that night so the total for the night is $60.00.
