A Night Without Blanket in Hotel


May 21, 2008 (Wednessday)

Today, we stay at a hotel in Pennsylvania. When I see the bed (especially the blanket) in the hotel, I remember one of the nights in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Once, a rich friend visited Chiang Mai and he invited a few friends to have special dinner and to stay in the hotel if we wished. I was living in Chiang Mai at that time. After dinner, it was late and at that night, three people slept in a big hotel room. Since the air condition was being lunched in the room, it was cold (for me). In my life, it was the first time to sleep in a classic hotel room. I did not know if the blanket was in the bed or not. I thought it did not have the blanket. One of my friends who had the same experience also thought in the same way. In Burma, we usually get separate blanket/s in the hotel rooms.

I began to criticize the services of the hotel; how they were daring to let customers sleep without blanket, when it was cold in the room. My friend said to make a phone call and ask to provide the blankets. To make a phone call, I was afraid of because I felt it was too late to make an emergency phone call. Our dinner finished at about 2:30 AM.

Finally, we slept in the hotel room without blanket. Actually, we were sleeping on the blankets. We just did not know how to unfold the blanket or we did not know the blanket was neatly, flatly and systematically folded. We were very cold. We did not sleep well at that night because of cold. Every time we talked about that night with my friends, they always laugh at me.

It was true story and what a pity! You know what? And yet, we all were university students from Burma!
