I will add one more piece of "Chinese tortuous logic" to my Guangzhou adventure....perhaps somebody who is cleverer than me can explain what it was all about:

I booked at the Hotel for 10 days....on day 6, they said that I would need to move rooms as my room was booked for one night to another person !!!

After this one night in a different room, they advised that I could move back to my previous room for the rest of my stay.

On the appointed day, the bell-boy came to help with my luggage which I had spent some time in packing and getting sorted out. He then proceeded to move me to THE ROOM NEXT DOOR...which was identical to the room I had vacated !!!!!

I went down to reception to query this strange state of affairs....and would you believe, as usual when things get embarrassing, nobody could remember how to speak English...so I just went with the flow and had a few beers !!!

But I still puzzle what it was all about  :s:s

--- End quote ---


Perhaps a couple wanted to go back to the same room that they had their first night of marriage in!!     But probably the guys wife specially requested it as a one yuan coin rolled under the bed last time they were there and she wanted to have another better look for it.

David E:
I think you probably got it right Willy...when I got into the room first up, there was a small packet of tissues left in the bathroom that was not "Hotel issue"...maybe they booked up for one night so that they could get their tissues back....!!!!!

Its as good an explanation as I have heard so far :icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:
