Capsule hotels
I'm not sure if these are the coolest things in the world or the most disturbing. Probably some combination of the two. 8-)

Re: Capsule hotels
It's efficient but it's not really fun. I've never actually been to one but I lived out of a similarly designed mobile home when I worked for the circus.

Re: Capsule hotels
They have them at airports, which makes an inordinate amount of sense...and they're certainly better than a flophouse for super-cheap lodging.

They always remind me of the sleeping arrangements on the cruise in The Fifth Element.

Re: Capsule hotels
During college, I took a summer job at a traveling circus camp called Circus Smirkus up in Vermont. I applied as an audio engineer but the position was filled and they offered me a job in concessions. I pounded stakes, spun cotton candy, scooped popcorn, and traveled from town to town for over a month. It was the hardest job I ever had but also one of the most interesting.

Re: Capsule hotels
Continuing to be fascinated by these. This one is in Kyoto and is very slightly more upscale, as these are private, lockable rooms. Of a sort.

Re: Capsule hotels
I recently heard of a similar setup here in the states. Tiny rooms that could barely fit a bed.

Loved that movie! lolWolfofWords wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:40 pm They always remind me of the sleeping arrangements on the cruise in The Fifth Element.
I know Japan is famous for coming up with unique ideas with the limited space they have there. While I wouldn't want to do this, they are quite popular if someone just wants to relax, get some sleep, etc.
