Travel annoyance #47: Paying for hotel Internet access has GOT to stop {Gadling}
Oct 31st 2009 1:34AM If you have more than one laptop with you, the Millennium Hotel in Doha, Qatar, will charge you everytime you switch computers. Forget about paying once for the day, (100 Qatari Riyals). No, you will pay each time you switch computers.
Add in the constant moldy smell, and the average meal price of 80 Riyals (before the mandatory 17% "service charge" for a buffet), and you have yourself a recipe for a bad two week stay.
A bit of an explanation is in order: 1) I have two laptops because I try to separate work from home activites. 2) I was forced to stay there for work reasons. At 800 Riyals a night, trust me, I would have preferrred something cheaper.
Do not stay at this hotel. I have spoken with the front desk people three times and the manaager once. Nothing has been fixed on my bill yet.
Oh, did I mention the almost 300 Riyals that they charged me to get to a toll free number. I know that when you travel, sometimes toll free isn't free. That is why I was calling the front desk to ask the policies regarding this. The front desk person asked, "What is the number" and proceeded to dial it for me. I foolishly assumed that she was taking care of this for free. I did not ask her to dial the number.
Anyway, on my next trip, I will spend my 15,000 Riayls elsewhere!

Britney Loves Kobe {Fanhouse NBA Blog}
Apr 5th 2007 8:31AM mjd,
What is your problem? Why does it have to be about race? ("There is evidence (literally, actual evidence) showing that Kobe Bryant enjoys the company (ahem) of white women.")
I am sure that if an African-American woman, of some notoriety, (or any woman of any other race/nationality), was holding up a sign and wearing a Kobe jersey, were to throw herself at him, he would be interested. Hopefully he has learned to control his impulses, but the point is that men (in general) are attracted to women. Race doesn't matter. Come up with a better premise for your blog.
