You need new manolos to forget bad experience

I went to NYC for a business trip. I stayed at infamous Hotel Pennsylvania. I chose this hotel because it was located just across the Penn Station and I was arriving there very late at night. In addition, it was one of the only hotels whose rate was accepted by my company's accountant. Still, it cost $200. I made a reservation for a non smoking room with a king size bed. But the hotel receptionist told me that only available non-smoking room was one with two twin beds. The room was very small and smelly. And here are some photos.



Super heavy door. It somehow reminded a submarine's door. I've never been in submarine, but....you know.



Bathroom. Water didn't go through the sink. TV was broken.













I felt miserable. You know, I was a backpacker. I am totally OK with shabby cheap hotels if they are $10 or $20. I just can't accept it when it cost $200.

So, I needed something to ease my crankiness. My evil co-worker in NYC whispered me about Manolo Blahnik semi-annual sale. Whenever I go to NYC on business, they happen to have sale.





I'm wearing them today. I'm happy. My credit card isn't. And now I'm on Manolo's NY store's mailing list. Ouch.
