Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn

We've been staying in the lap of luxury at the MGM Grand Casino Resort in Macau, but after a tour of Macau this afternoon, we'll be returing to the City Garden Hotel in Hong Kong. Even though we've been here only one night, I've gotten used to the real-sized beds, the spacious bathroom, complimentary bottles of water everywhere and the hotel amenities (like the Veuve Cliquot Lounge and the Dale Chihuly chandeliers and paintings).

Tonight I'll be back to a twin bed with an inch from the wall and three inches from the other twin bed, holding my Canadian cousin. No internet access and no breakfast buffet (Which, by the way, was a wonderful fusion of Western and Asian cuisines. Omelettes and dim sum and pastries and congee!).

I can't really complain though - it's a great deal and I'm not paying for it. I'm just saying there's a striking difference between accommodations. And I'm a spoiled panda.
