As I prepare to travel to Bangladesh on January 31, a touching moment at my restaurant made me realize how much I’ve grown attached to the people I work with. There’s a Korean girl at the restaurant who completed her undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering in Seoul. Although her English is not very fluent, she made a beautiful effort to communicate her feelings.
On my last day, she handed me a small airplane crafted from paper. With a smile, she said, “Borhan, open it.” I was curious, and when I unfolded it, I found a heartfelt handwritten note inside. She had translated and written the message in English:
"Dear Han, you worked really hard with us. I hope you have a good travel to Bangladesh and make good memories with your family and loved ones. Even though you worked in the kitchen, you helped us a lot in the hall. Your absence will be missed a lot here, so we hope you will come back to work together. SAFE TRAVELS. - 이슬"
Her kind words deeply moved me. It wasn’t just a note; it was a token of appreciation and connection. It reminded me of the bonds I’ve built with my colleagues and how supportive they’ve been throughout my journey in Korea.
This small gesture filled my heart with gratitude and joy. It also strengthened my resolve to return after my visit to Bangladesh and continue working hard alongside such wonderful people. Moments like these remind us that kindness transcends language barriers and leaves lasting memories.
