I've always been fascinated with people because humans are such amazing and contradictory creatures. We have the potential to do so much good for our world and others, yet often inflict so much harm. We are capable of great intelligence, but can act so stupidly. We can, as the following video clip illustrates, be just plain bizarre.
According to a Reuters story this week, a hotel has opened in France in which guests can live like hamsters for a night (the hamster hats are optional), sleeping on hay, eating seeds and running in a giant wheel. Now I'm not sure who might want to pay the equivalent of $148 to do this sort of thing, but who am I to judge?
My biggest fear is that the hamster wheel will someday find a place in the gym alongside the treadmills and elliptical trainers.

It would be funny to see you in this big wheel! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt probably would be funny, Kerstin, but I don't think it's something you or anyone else will be seeing anytime soon! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, it kind of sounds like a joke!
ReplyDeleteThat was my first thought, too, Esther. But the story was carried by several different news sources, so I assume it's for real. As we know, the media never gets anything wrong! :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe something was lost in translation...The Hotal New Hampshire becomes the Hampster Hotel. Those wacky French!
ReplyDeleteHa, good one Sherry!
