東 マリア
Hometown: Mexico City
In Japan: over a decade
Identity: Yakult Lady
Those ubiquitous Yakult Ladies; they’re everywhere! But we’ve never seen one with such long blond hair! Initially her customers were pretty surprised too! Now, six months since she began, this mother of one, and fluent Japanese speaking native of Mexico is more than holding her own in terms of beverage sales in her district. “I love chatting with my customers, it’s not really like work at all, and it’s good exercise too!” Look out for Maria in the Komondo-cho area of Hakata-ku.

出身地: メキシコシティ
日本滞在 : 10年以上
職業 : ヤクルトレディ
日本全国至る所にヤクルトレディは存在するけど、ブロンドヘア−のヤクルトレディはめったにお目にかかれない。初めのうちはお客さんもびっくりしていたらしいが、働き始めて6ヵ月が過ぎた今では、すっかり打ち解けて、彼女の配達を楽しみにしている人も多いのだそう。それもそのはず、彼女はネイティブのメキシコ人でありながら、日本語はペラペラ！同じ職場のスタッフとも仲がよく、セールスだって他の販売員にひけは取らない。「お客さんと会話をすることが楽しいから、仕事というよりも半分は趣味(笑)？」とマリアさん。博多区・古門戸エリアで今日も笑顔をふりまいているはず!
