Sometimes I have really the most unusual requests. How to make, for example, I soled shoes. Always the princess. Soled shoes can be! Who needs that?
Everyone, exactly! related to
Here in Australia a good cobbler is about as likely as six correct numbers in the lottery to have. For years, the now goes that way. Most, actually all of which I am now advised, are absolutely riveting. Or worse upper rivets. The job description Schuster, as we know it in Germany, which is here in this form, probably not.
How many times I stood in the last few years, with tears in their eyes in various cobbler shops, just about to call the German Embassy or the UN Security Council, after I presented my re-soled shoes? With such a targeted attack on world peace I know nothing.
After years of searching and numerous blemishes of my shoes and the heels, I had finally found the one. Yuri the shoemaker! Yuri, as no one is Russian, around 60 and I have taken him right into the heart. The Juri, the shoemaker of the Women understand and trust the women. We had a very close relationship over the last year. Everything was going perfectly for my shoes. Until the day came when Yuri retired. Now is the Yuri somewhere in the sun and enjoying his life. I do not begrudge him with all my heart, I let nothing come on Yuri. But the fact is, I was completely Yuri go there.
Now I live here. I would also like to understand even more why the now everything is as it is. My question, why were all here so incompetent, the shoemaker, I could quite easily yourself, answer after I searched for half a minute on the Internet. What for training as a cobbler here like this in Australia? As it turned out, they also look quite relaxed. The training is done quickly. The course is called "Certificate II in Footwear Production". For a year, twice a week, in the evening, because you learn everything, to know what you need to become a cobbler.
This once again shows that most likely in Germany are all so super stupid and slow-witted, that there for three years is estimated to the combine shoe bottoms and shafts to custom-made shoes, evaluate and insertion of materials, tools and and auxiliary carry out repairs, manage and maintain tools, equipment, machinery and technical equipment and to get to more.
While in Germany to study hard just a year another two years, the Schuster mess here in Australia already hard shoes! The ruble must roll. The fact that the place here in Australia not so much emphasis on clean shoes, you will quickly find if you look, for example in the tram in the stand the shoes of passengers. Terrible, sometimes even disgusting and unkempt. Anyone who is wearing shoes that takes care of accordingly little about how the soles are glued as turn now.
Now I am so going Yuri. What to do? I had briefly considered taking shoes from now on with the holidays, so get out here from Australia, the land of the Shoemaker-rivets and have them commanded elsewhere. But this strategy quickly proved to be absolutely impracticable. I have rejected it, twenty kilos of luggage plus seven kg of hand luggage, but I need to be able to carry clothes that I bring out here to Australia. They come together quickly.
Now it is still considered good. It seems as though I was initially saved once. Last weekend I have a new Schuster found. I had times when asked if he could fix something for me. Yes, he told me, no problem. That he had an accent, I immediately agreed over confident. Lightning fast so I decided to give him the job. Today was pick-up day. And he has done his job well. And he's Russian. I asked him, namely, where he comes from. Russia! I did not take me to trust him that I had asked him only because of his accent, as the Australian Schuster untrained all so talented and this is still free too. Yes, he said, a young country, the need to learn more. In two to three hundred years, Australians can, too.
Greetings from Melbourne!
