That has to be one of the most interesting hotel rooms I've ever seen. I'd stay there!

Then again, I wonder about the shower heads over the bed and possibly the smallest night stand I've ever seen! ;)

Hope you have a wonderful trip!

Zuzana, I almost missed that the lamps changed colors when lit. :-) I like them, too.

Tom, those nightstands are standard-sized for Europe. And those shower heads have an extra feature: They have a little light inside! (It was a short business trip.)

Alice, I love it in the winter, but am baffled at its use in areas that consistently get 90F summers. Then the Spanish/American/British custom of top sheets is preferable.

Thanks, Julie!

Yeah, now that you mention it, I have been puzzled at hotel rooms that have no other options -- and no air conditioning -- during the summer (or pretty much any time of year in our case because we bring the heat with us!).

You've described the sweltering trip I had to Vienna and Budapest. I could hardly breathe in my hotel rooms there, because of the humidity and lack of A/C. I would have loved the option of a mere topsheet. In Norway, we have summer duvets, but those can be too thick if it gets hot.

Insults and the right to free speech

-
Bloggers all over are currently discussing the suggestion of a blogging code of conduct, where bloggers are required to refrain from insults and threats, or get their blogs yanked. The debate is generally anti-code, justified by the claim that it is freedom of speech to say what you want, and said freedom is protected by the US constitution. The thing is, we aren't discussing political blogs or racist blogs or pornographic blogs or blogs that in general have some kind of inflammatory material on them. We are discussing blogs much like my own: One person's personal outlet offered to the world because it's a rewarding thing to do (get to write, get to share, get feedback). But on some blogs, commenters are leaving insults and threats, including death threats. The general reaction to this, that I have seen so far, is if you can't tolerate some sicko comments on your blog, you are too sensitive for blogging so just stop blogging. Don't bitch about the internet being...

I love you. Thank you.

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...

Faith in Jesus, interrupted

-
I have always been interested in Christianity. More specifically, I have always been interested in the answer to this question: Does Jesus save? I have always struggled with having a faith in Jesus. My own family is made up of theists, but nobody ever bothered with the traditional religions. Grandma couldn't understand why anybody wanted a faith where you looked up at a bloody, half-naked man every Sunday (good ol' Catholics), and I couldn't understand how anybody could put their faith in a man who looked like a hippie (good ol' Protestants). So while Grandma and I both ended up deists (that's not a typo), we found our spiritual sustenance outside the mainstream. Still, I've always had the question. Norway has a state religion. It allows for freedom of religion for everyone - except the nation itself and its monarch. The reigning monarch of Norway must be - according to the country's constitution - an Evangelical Lutheran, since the Evangelical Lutheran ...
