Breakfast

I talked to a former supervisor about a possible project. We used to collaborate closely on several projects. In particular, we used to go to Northeast China.

Well, the business trip was a while ago. Nonetheless, we still remember some details about that trip. We lived in a hotel, which isn’t bad. Nonetheless, breakfast is something we don’t like that much.

At the beginning, it was that supervisor who booked the hotel rooms. Nonetheless, breakfast isn’t included. After the first night, we decided to have breakfast in the hotel because we didn’t know where to go. The breakfast was ok. And a hotel manager came to us to chat a bit. Basically, he can offer some discounts to us if we come back again.

The second day, we still had breakfast at the hotel. Nonetheless, we found that everything was the same as yesterday. For me, that was ok. But for my supervisor, he didn’t like it that much. On the third day, we still had breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Nevertheless, my supervisor demonstrated that he would like to make some changes.

The next day, we decided to go out and there was a costa café. We chose to have breakfast there. There weren’t as many choices as offered by the hotel. But my supervisor was satisfied. For him, at least he tasted something different. And we went to the costa café the next morning.

I don’t know if breakfast will play an important factor in booking a hotel room. I know that some people would like to have a good breakfast in a hotel before starting a trip. Nevertheless, it’s ok. I can buy milk, cheese, bread or fruits in a supermarket and have them as breakfast. But, for a business trip, I guess it’s better to have breakfast in a hotel restaurant since it’s the most efficient way.
