Facts & Figures From the Hotel Directory  

Posted by revinboots (aka Steve Barckholtz)

While flipping through the Raj Park Hotel Directory, I learned the following fascinating facts...

  • Under the tab "Places of Worship"--there is nothing... I happen to know where a Lutheran Church is and I am certain ther are about a gazillion Hindu temples in town...
  • From the Room Service Menu--Pancakes and/or French Toast are served with honey (it ain't Aunt Jemima, but who's criticizing...). Also, there is a desert called "Tarzan Noodles with Ice Cream"... so many images and possibilities come to mind... if I order it, I'll let you know how it goes... (Sidebar for John Hogg--in your honour [spelled like a Brit just for you!] I had beans and toast this morning... no Wheatabix available so far!)
  • The International Phone Directory has country codes and time zone differences. Did You Know? San Francisco is 11.5 hours behind Chennai, but Washington D.C. is somehow 12.5 hours behind... Interestingly, Montreal is only 4.5 hours behind, but Toronto is 10.5 hours behind... It is possible they consulted my Mom when putting this together... (Sorry, Mom, I should have resisted... "Now, is Tim 2 hours ahead of Jeff, or 3 hours behind Todd...")
  • Underlistings of airlines, ther is contact information for "Spicejet Airlines"--only India could figure out how to get spices into an airline... I think I will pass on all their food just in case...
  • Information regarding Consulates is also provided. I'm not sure how comforting it is to know the U.S. Consulate is only open from 8am-1pm, Monday-Friday. On the other hand, the Turkmenistan Consulate is open from 9am-6pm, Monday-Saturday...
