A chance to be a Lady
I am going to Japan in April on a business trip, and my colleague there booked me in a new hotel. Literally new-- it opened in late 2004, and still has not put in facilities to serve lunch or dinner.
But they have a number of "special rooms" with themes, such as the Healing Room (equipped with a foot massager, negative-ion generator(*), and "low-resistance" pillows) and the Premier Business Room (with a desk and computer included).
Hilariously, I am staying in the "Ladies Room." This one comes with a foot massager, negative-ion moisture regulator, negative-ion hairdryer, washball (for body washing), make-up remover, facial wash, moisturising mask, skin milk, cotton wool, cotton buds, and hairclip. The real reason he booked me here is because the Ladies Rooms are guaranteed to be non-smoking, which is hard to find in Japan. But I will see what I can do with all the other stuff.
The hairclip is right out-- my hair is really short. Ditto for the make-up remover since I don't wear make-up. We'll have to see what the skin milk and facial wash are, but they could be OK if not overly scented. What the heck is a washball? Hmmmm. I think perhaps I will learn what I'm supposed to do as a "Lady" by staying in this room. Could be educational.
(*) These things are all the rage in Asia. My colleague in Taiwan has one that plugs into the cigarette lighter in his car. He assiduously put it in place every time we got in the car. "It's healthy!" he says.
