Making Money with Hotel

The man Henry in the Dili, East Timor Backpacker Hotel told me it was easy to have a Hostel, he said,
- You need to have clean bathrooms. -

I am guessing this is 80 percent true, on the other hand, I wanted to tell him, Henry, you also need to check them? his were in need.

Maintenance Man

I believe what is needed the most in Hotels is maintenance people. I left the water on too long her in the Thunder Hotel and it turned very hot. There is only one faucet; I assumed they had disconnected the hot to save on money as is normal. Nope, they had one broken, and it just does not work. I wanted to brush my teeth; hot water is not the way I do this.

Maintenance is more difficult than beauty, you can get a person to make a lush garden, however to have them fix the wiring or TV connections is difficult, it take more brains.

Cleaning the toilets and painting. Yes, it is true; the world needs someone to clean the toilets. My room is great, then you walk into the toilet and you say, what happened.

It is easy to make money with a Hotel, clean it and fix it. This is very rare. The pay in the world is about 10 dollars per day per person.

See, I only stayed in one place with a permanent maintainance man. You can probably guess it was the place run by the Belgians in Kathmandu. He was fixing their toilet, their painting, fixing a chair that had broken. In Pokhara, in one hotel, I broke the sink in my bathroom. Now, for sure, in this country i would not have been able to: we fix our sinks real well. However, my flip-flops caused me to slip on the floor. I grab the sink for support, the sink flies off the wall and lands on the floor, and smashes. Also, hits my toe, causing me to need to do clean a bleeding toe up and make sure i am not going to get infected if i walk around in sandals. This was my fault, the sink was not hanging off the wall. However, in my hundrth of a second, I assume the sink will hold my weight and stop me from falling onto the floor. My sink at home would have! However, I could have chosen to grab the towel-rail. Mine at home would not have helped me. The one in nepal may well have. I tested it afterward- maybe would have done. They got the sink replaced, and I payed them for the sink, not the labour. They had a friend who did the labour. I think I paid Rs2000 nepali, or not a lot of money for me. About what I get paid for an hour and a half of work.Now, in the new room they gave me, the sink was much sturdier. Investigating the scene afterward, the broken sink was hald up by 2 bits of angle steel stuck intot he wall, and it balanced on top. One bit of steel had corroded seriously, and just snapped off. Because the pipe-work was plastic flexible tube, this did not steady the basin. a hundred reasons why my sink at home is stronger. However, one main one: I would not allow my water to leak for so long that it corroded a peice of inch-inch angle steel.
