A 2x1: SLEEP SOMEONE IN THE ROOM
This It is the closest thing to a risk sport that some of us have practiced . It's an adrenaline rush; It is not necessary to experience it once in a lifetime but, almost certainly, we are going to experience it once in a lifetime. because yes, because life puts you in such exciting predicaments . Requirements: do not do it in a hotel with seven rooms because it will be very violent. Control the keys so that reception does not find out. Skip breakfast the next morning. Once inside, be discreet in everything we do. Throughout. Throughout. Many times this clandestine 2x1 could be avoided either by paying the extra (which is not the idea) or by asking (which is not either); but we may not want to avoid it.
There are hotels for everything
BATHING WITHOUT WANTING
We see the bathtub like this, fat and horizontal in the bathroom, and we say the following sentence: "tonight, when I come back from dinner, I'm going to take a bath". We have all uttered these words. We have gone out, we have had dinner, we have returned at 1 in the morning, we have seen the bathtub again and of course, how to resist their siren songs . We have filled it and we have gotten inside. The problem is that it has taken 20 minutes to fill up, that in all this time we have realized that what we want is to sleep. We get in quick, we dive, we say “how good it is” and we go quickly to sleep. It had to be done, but along the way we have wasted water: so far the eco tip of the day.
WATCH BBC NEWS
In our house we don't have a TV, but in a hotel we put it on as soon as we enter. In our house we only use it to watch movies and series but in a hotel, suddenly, we feel an enormous desire for news. So we tune in all the chains and we always stop at BBC News. We feel that this gesture turns us into worldly beings who need the vision of English journalists (who say all the time indeed) to form an opinion. As if we were interested in the weather in Newcastle.
EAT THE WHOLE FOOD PYRAMID FOR BREAKFAST
Every day we eat a couple of toasts and a coffee . When we go to a hotel we eat the whole pyramid for breakfast, from the base to the apex. We also do it in a happily uncontrolled way. We can eat fruit at the beginning and at the end, alternate hot and cold, sweet and salty and, eye, tea and coffee, capers, eel, papaya and three types of bread . We feel that all this It belongs to us and that everything has to go through us, as if we were hotel inspectors or the protagonist of Viajo Sola . This gesture is in the DNA of the hotel guest and hundreds of years of tradition have not managed to alter it.
From luxury hotel to super luxury hotel
SPY THE CLEANING SERVICE CAR
If we found the design of the iPhone 9 in a hotel corridor, we would not pay so much attention to it. Instead, the cleaning staff's car wakes us up a sick curiosity . We are attracted to toiletries, well-placed water bottles, the chocolate bars that are going to leave us on the pillow and clean towels. We want everything and we want one of those carts at home. It's not worth touching.
TAKE SOMETHING WE SHOULD NOT TAKE

**AMENITIES DANCE**
We've all saved unused soap and shampoo for replenishment. In this way we have at home a huge collection of toiletries that It won't give us time to use even if we live a hundred years . That sibylline act of putting the wrapped bars of Hermès soap at the Sofitel Marrakech or those of L'Occitane at a Four Seasons in the vanity case so that, in a few hours, they give us other is irresistible. May the director and his entire team forgive us.
