All Booked Up
R. Alex Whitlock
I first arrived to this fair city at about two in the morning. Eel was working the overnight, so I figured I would just get a hotel and see her in the morning. So I stopped by a Holiday Inn that advertised high-speed Internet. They were booked. So I went across the street. Booked up. I went to five hotels in all and they were all booked up for the weekend. Even one of them that had a half-empty parking lot!
Turns out that there was a soccer tournament in town that weekend.
Naturally.

This evening, on a lark, I decided to go to the hotel down the street to apply for a night clerk opening that they have.
Naturally, about five minutes before I got there, a stereotypical bus of Asian tourists pulled in, putting about 100 people between me and the counter.
What in tarnation are tourists doing here? Much less tourists from the other side of the world!
Soccer tournament I can understand, but tourism?!
