Chrispitality: Watched ‘Incredible Hulk’ -the only english language film at Nile City. Didn’t know there was a movie ‘ol Banner Boy. Wasn’t even that bad.

Chrispitality: @wdeveloper - rate is 750/nite with dnr/brkfst for residents (I barely made it)…different from the Stella Di Mare, but better vibe IMO.

Chrispitality: And BTW, don’t try to check into a hotel in Egypt when your passport sitting on your coffee table at home. Makes for mucho calls & faxes.

Chrispitality: First time in a Movenpick hotel in Ein El Sokhna. Only a month old and some kinks to work but best service in Egypt so far. FREE WIFI in rm!

Chrispitality: I think Matt G’s new “Dancing” vid is as good as his first. I’m even in the crowd representing Vancouver: http://tinyurl.com/6g362b Hahaha!

Chrispitality: Both Crowne Plaza and Hyatt building new resorts on gorgeous China Beach near Danang, Vietnam. Dream job anyone?

Chrispitality: G.M. at www.FuramaVietnam.com resort does a good job connecting w/ Tripadvisor but website is borked in F.fox & Safari. Not just me is it?

Chrispitality: @sa_so Agreed…Hyatt & IHG also use the Taleo recruiting platform, but I find it tweaky and hard to use. Starwood is laid out better fo’sho

Chrispitality: @msfour - Emmanuel Jal reallyrockzit: Check out a live performance in Youtube: http://snurl.com/28sff - good tip.

Chrispitality: @soultravelers3 - You nailed it–nothing like the crap-shoot of a hair stylist in a new land. My choice was Short or Medium. Got ‘crooked’.
