I even asked the staff for a different room, I was informed that unfortunately due to the tropical weather, humidity lingers inside all of the rooms, so the only people who even notice the odors are those who arrive from outer climates. The local people have just become so accustomed to it that they don’t notice it as abnormal. Sure enough, the second and third rooms they allowed me to poke my head into had the same aroma. The open-air areas of the hotel, such as the lobby, the restaurant, etc, do not suffer that plight, only the rooms and meeting areas, because they remain closed up for more than half the day every day. ~ less

**Once again, decades ago I’m sure I may have used a hotel phone to make a local call. ***Please don’t tell Just Asking; I would rather not hear all the nagging again. Sheesh.~ less

Would you like something to drink?
Yes, do you have tomato juice?
We certainly do, I’ll bring you a glass of it, ok?
Wait, what is the temperature, please?
Excuse me?
What’s the temperature?
The temperature here in the aircraft or the temperature at our destination?
No, the temperature of the tomato juice.
The tomato juice.
Yes, the tomato juice.
Are you asking whether it’s chilled or at room temperature?
No, I’m asking what is the actual temperature in degrees of the juice itself, not the can or the bottle, not even the plastic cup, but the juice.
You’re kidding, right? Is this a joke?
I’m not joking.
You truly cannot be serious.
I am serious. I need to know if it’s the right temperature before I drink it.
Well, I suppose I could tell you that it’s chilled, but I have no way of gauging the exact temperature in degrees.
I thought this is one of the top airlines in the world.

I have many friends who are now in limbo with their residency, employment, and relationships alll in peril.How did this happen? My first thought is why did Labor choose Jeremy Corbyn to lead. Why is it these days the Politicos are choosing the radicals on tails to lead instead of the centrists.

I’m on a plane right now, it’s still boarding, and a passenger near me is chowing down on the most delicious-smelling Asian stir-fry possible. That’s what prompted this question. I seem to remember that some airlines may have attempted to institute rules against passengers carrying off-site food aboard flights in a bid to gouge a captive audience into paying the ransom on curbing hunger, but that nonsense was struck down. ~ less
