98. (2.) The Pacific to Shinjuku

I was looking to spend the night as cheaply as possible and wasn't really in the market for a hotel. I did end up staying in a hotel the following night in another, smaller city, but that was because there was no obvious alternative.

3. WOW! Team USA!? U-S-A! U-S-A! Oh, wait, whooops, I'm a Canadian. =) OK, I have to admit I was rooting for Michael Phelps. I'm generally pro-USAmerican, but not to the point where it would impact my choice of hotel.

4. From what I can tell, the Hampton Inn fiefdom of the Hilton Empire doesn't have any locations in Japan, although I'm sure you wouldn't hesitate to recommend another brand under the Hilton umbrella ( ... )
