Hohhot, China | 16 July, 2006 | $4.94
I stayed in this hotel three nights, this is the view from the other side of the room. I can usually find something fun to watch on Chinese TV?either a warrior drama or CCTV news in English. It took me three weeks to travel across the Silk Road to Kyrgyzstan but much less time to learn the English news schedule on Chinese TV. Some of these hotel rooms are really depressing which is why I suggest investing in little things that make you happy. The bright green laptop sleeve was a bit more expensive than a black one but every time I pulled it out of my bag it made me smile and brightened my day.
