What does quote from Adam Smith mean?

August 22, 2010 - 1:56 pm 2 Comments

I’m reading the Wealth of Nations and I think he is saying that the accommodations of a prince could be equal to a peasant. But how is that possible? If I misinterpreted please tell me. 10 points to whoever provides the most help.

Compared, indeed, with the more extravagant luxury of the great, his accommodation must no doubt appear extremely simple and easy; and yet it may be true, perhaps, that the accommodation of an European prince does not always so much exceed that of an industrious and frugal peasant, as the accommodation of the latter exceeds that of many an African king, the absolute masters of the lives and liberties of ten thousand naked savages.

It’s about perspective. The Prince lives a luxurious easy life compared to the peasant. But the Peasant lives like a Prince compare to an African King who may be at the highest position in his world, but has nothing compared to the peasant.

what are boutique hotels? in kind of information?

August 17, 2010 - 8:36 pm 1 Comment


Boutique hotel is a term originating in North America to describe intimate, usually luxurious or quirky hotel environments. boutique hotels differentiate themselves from larger chain/branded hotels and motels by providing personalized level accommodation and services/facilities.

Boutique hotels began in the 1980s in major cities like New York, London, San Francisco. Very often it is the Morgans Hotel in Murray Hill of New York, that is awarded with the title of first boutique hotel in the world. It was opened by Ian Schrager in 1984 according to design of Andrée Putnam.

Typically boutique hotels are furnished in a themed, stylish and/or aspirational manner. Although usually considerably smaller than a mainstream hotel (often ranging from 3 to 100 guest rooms), boutique hotels can often have hundreds of rooms in major cities. Guest rooms and suites are fitted with telephony and Wi-Fi Internet, air-conditioning, honesty bars and often cable/pay TV. Guest services are attended to by 24 hour hotel staff. Many boutique hotels have on-site dining facilities, and the majority offer bars and lounges which may also be open to the general public.

Where should I stay in Tropical North Queensland?

August 17, 2010 - 8:35 pm 3 Comments

My two friends and I want to visit Tropical North Queensland this coming summer for about a week. We’re not looking for full-blown luxury, and we’re after accommodation for less than $700pp. Somewhere like Brompton or Hamilton Island… we’ve never been so would appreciate suggested places, resorts, houses, things to do, holiday packages – anything!

Try the Sanctuary at Mission Beach and forget luxury, enjoy nature and peace and be with it rather than passe resort…all the same. heaps cheaper as well.

You walk through rainforest to beach, sea kayak, meet a cassowary, longe in a hammock. Views to die for.

Just avoid cyclone season and thank me later :0

Inquiring about Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport Hotel?

August 13, 2010 - 7:29 pm 2 Comments

The hotel at the Orlando International Airport, the Hyatt Regency Hotel, no prices for rooms are listed. Does this mean the hotel is free as long as you are flying to the airport or something? I really need a very close by room to stay before heading out the next morning to Disney World.

No, it’s absolutely not free. Here is the website for that location, you can check rates here:

How do YOU get rid of telemarketers?

August 13, 2010 - 7:29 pm 17 Comments

Just got off the phone to a telemarketer. I was extremely rude to her and I feel pretty slack now.
It was one of those (very polite but thick Indian accent) Congratulations you’ve won two days free accommodation! Yay! The catch is you have to book a week in a luxury hotel on the Gold-coast in the middle of winter that you don’t want in the first place.
Any tips or funny stories about getting rid of them?

well,, either:
1.you can have a little fun && mess w/em,, or start talking to em,, or s/thing like that,, ITS FUN. :D

–OR–
2.just tell them that your not interested && to take you off the call list.
