I am working out of town for the next few days and spending tonight at a business hotel.
Outside, the night air is dark and cold; I hear the wind blowing outside my window, and rain pelting against the glass, sounding bereft.
And yet - I am warm and dry and totally connected with high-speed internet access! Woo hoo!
I am staying at a Route Inn, which is a good chain business hotel in Japan. There weren't any Route Inns when I first came here, and I am so glad that they're thriving now. They offer small but new and clean rooms, each of which has a small fridge, a TV, hot-water kettle, and more recently, high-speed internet access. Most Route Inn hotels have a large public bath (a mens' and a womens'), which is a very rare luxury in an affordable business hotel. Of course, there is also a shower in the room for the more modest users. You can visit their homepage here (Japanese only):

I know having high-speed access is normal - but I remember not so very long ago NOT having such convenience. The world really IS my oyster!

It is great that so many hotels have come on board with offering their guests connectivity. It was one of the things I loved when we were touring down east this summer. So since you have broadband there is no excuse not to blog! :)
