top ten things i've relearned living at the arabella sheraton nuremberg.
1. the bedsheets are always clean and crispy when i get back from work. you'd think this was nice, but it's actually crappy. i need to get my own blanket and pillows, i think.
2. everything is expensive. the cheapest thing on the menu is a $10 soup. and if you're thirsty, add another $5 to that.
3. related to the first one, the room is always clean. the bathroom is spotless and there's always soap and toilet paper. no wonder i had a culture shock when i moved to an apartment last year.
4. there's a really cute girl that works at the spa area, but i don't know what she does exactly. in my secretive ways of trying to find out, i've scheduled a massage, a facial, and a pedicure, but still no luck. i've had vegetables sitting on my eyeballs and i can't seem to find out what she does. if i do anything more, i'd be a princess. one of these days.
5. internet is expensive. i never, ever will understand why a cheap hotel offers free internet and the nice ones charge you as if you're instant messaging with an astronaut.
6. i miss an oven, a washing machine, and a refrigerator full of stuff i don't need to pay for.
7. i dislike all the people who hang out at the lobby who talk about work.
8. i like having someone cook for me, but after a week, couldn't they learn to cook other things? although last time i lived here, they felt bad that i kept ordering spagetti that they actually asked me what else i wanted. eventually they started making me beef fried rice and called it the grio special. too bad that cook doesn't work here anymore.
9. i definitely prefer living in an apartment. and if it wasn't for the starwood points i'm collecting for staying here, i'd be in an apartment now.
10. this one's not really related to a hotel, but they do have one here: sitting in a 90 degree CELSIUS sauna for 15 minutes and then dumping yourself immediately into an ice cold bathtub is one of the best feelings on earth.
