Dragon Tour of Duty supplemental - Hotel Gyms
When I stay at hotels, I usually resign myself to my fate when it comes to excercise: most of the hotel gyms have a few running mats, maybe a stairs machine and if I am lucky, some of those horrible pink plastic dumbells with selection from 4 to 15 pounds. During this trip, most of my hotel gyms were just like that, and I grew increasingly annoyed as I hate it when I miss my training sessions.
But the gym of my Spanish hotel was simply sublime -it had a great selection of free weights and resistance machines, and even a squat rack. And all this was next to a well stocked library with high-speed internet connections free of charge. A bliss.
Random thought on hotels: There seems to be one common denominator in all the business hotels I have stayed in. They all offer PPV porn films, regardless of how Catcholic (or Lutherian) the nation you are visiting is. Says something about the businessmen, I'd imagine.

I think I phrased that badly: Most of the clientile of these hotels I saw were conservative, rich people, who are forefront on denouncing moral corruption, yet the amount of adult entertainment consumed by these people must be high. Hotels would not keep this selection on so consistently unless there was high demand. It is the hypocrisy that I find funny, not so much the fact that there is adult entertainment available in hotels.
