THE HOTEL
My car reaches the hotel where I want to stay. I get out and go to the hotel office. Here I ask if ther can give me an accommodation.
"Certainly", answers the clerk, "we have got several rooms. "Would you like a suite or a single room?" he continues. I say that I would like a bed-room with a bathroom attached. The clerk says he can give me such a room on the third floor.
I ask about the price of the room.
He informs me of the price and soon everything is settled.
I hand in my passport, fill in an arrival form and get the key to my room. Next I ask the hotel porter to carry my luggage to the room.
He does as requested.
I look at my room. I like it very much. It is very com- fortable. I can have a fine rest here. I ring for the cham- bermaid and inquire about the meals at the hotel restau- rant.
Next I obtain information about the hairdresser's, about where I can have my boots cleaned, about where I can have my linen washed (if there is a laundry service at the hotel), etc.
She answers all my questions.
There is a lot of time before dinner and so I settle down quietly to rest.
