5 Hotels that changed their industry

     (CNN) -- From minibars to pillow menus to 24-hour butlers, today's hotels have turned every indulgence and convenience into a standard necessity.

   

Electric Xmas tree: Hotel del Coronado, San Diego

Currently celebrating its 125th anniversary, this beautiful beachside resort made jaws drop back in December 1904 when it presented the world's first electronically lit, outdoor Christmas tree.

Back then, candles were still commonly used to don yuletide trees and electric Christmas lights were a rarity.

Hotel del Coronado's extravagant holiday display amazed guests at the time and set the stage for the lavish hotel light exhibitions we now see today.

In-room radios: Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Boston

When this Boston property opened back in 1927, it was the first hotel to provide guest radios in each room, a feature that had never been offered on such a wide scale before.

To put this in perspective, the radio in the late 1920s was extremely popular among Americans and was bigger and bigger becoming a main source for news, entertainment and music -- similar to what the TV and Internet would become for later generations.

It wasn't until 1933 that two-thirds of Americans would own a radio set at home, so to have one available in one's hotel room in 1927 was quite a prospect.

Room service: The Waldorf Astoria, New York City

The iconic Waldorf Astoria is renowned for many things including its Art Deco motifs, Waldorf salad and a lot of celebrity guests.

But what truly revolutionized the hospitality industry was its introduction of room service in the early 1930s.

The novelty of such a convenient 24-hour service was an instant hit amongst the Waldorf's high-end guests and it wasn't long before other properties across the globe begin following suit.

As a result, lodgers everywhere can now comfortably chow down in their bathrobes without having to do much more than push a button.

Air conditioning: Adolphus Hotel, Dallas

Dallas, Texas can get quite hot and humid throughout the summer months, with temperatures often grow into the high 90s.

So in 1950 when the Adolphus became the first hotel in the world to offer central air conditioning, we can only imagine how thankful its sweaty guests must have been.

In-room air-conditioning for warm climate hotels has since become a commonplace comfort.

Soap and shampoo: Four Seasons London at Park Lane, London

Forgot to pack shampoo? Not to worry -- most hotels these days have plenty of mini toiletry bottles on hand to keep you soppy throughout your stay.

Prior to 1970, however, hotel guests would have been out of luck.

It wasn't until the Four Seasons London at Park Lane opened its doors that lodgers were first introduced to the concept of bathroom services such as shampoo.

And even then, the very first shampoo offerings at the Four Seasons Park Lane were plastic little sachets that were difficult to rip open. Don't take those handy little hotel bottles for granted again!

Differences manners in different countries

 Every country has it’s own manners and in some of them they are different! As for me, I have some bad manners, so I want to argue today about them. There are a lot of countries with different manners, but I can write a little list of manners that are same all over the world:

Ø  1. Knock the door!

Ø  2. Every time say HELLO

Ø  3. Don’t chew with your mouth open

Ø  4. And I think in every country is written, that we must to enter the place disabilities.

Ø  5. And of course, do not eat in classrooms!

For about differences between different countries:

l  For example, food in India and eating manners. Every gentlemen think that eat by hand it is disgusting! But I think that it is normal, because for this manner there is a technology for eating by hands in India.

l  And for example, in Japan everyone bow to each other, but in Europe it isn’t manner like this!

My bad manners:

Mr. Siddall always says me to knock the door, but I always forgot! I forget not because in my country there is no rule about knocking, I forget because I am not every day knocking to teacher’s room.

And he always says me to not say STOP at lessons, when I want to ask him something, that I must to say EXUSE ME…

Good manners:

I always bow and say hello to teachers in CIS.

My travelling on winter holidays to Akita

   This year I am still stand in Japan! Usually on winter holidays there is one tradition in our family, we always go to health hotel every New Year to Christmas. But in Japan there are not hotels, like this! So, for not bad holidays my mom said that we will go to my mom friend in Akita, she has a son, and he is my age, so we are enjoy playing together! They are from Ukraine too! Sometimes on summer holidays we go to him and swim in ocean, be cause near his house there is very clear and nice ocean. I think that in winter it will be interesting too, because my mom said that there is some snow at winter in Akita.

   Near his house there is very big onsen, but we haven`t any time to go there, and I hope that in this time, at cold winter, I will go to onsen!

   As usually, we will go by car, with all of my family. This trip from Tokyo to Akita takes about seven hours, it is very difficult for me, because sometimes I have a stomachache, when I am going long time in car of airplane, but I enjoy my travelling! I can`t go very long time, so that we once in hour stop to go to the bathroom or to drink, eat... When we usually come, it is evening outside, we eat and go sleep. When I was child, I slept on his bed, while he was sleeping in room, but on floor. But when we grew up, when I come every time to him, I always sleep in living room on floor. On the next day at the morning we usually go to ocean, but I am not sure that we can go in winter on ocean.. So I hope that he has sled, ski, skate or something like winter sport! I hope that it will be not in every places snow, because I want to ride his bike this year. I want to do a big snowman and than, when I will come back home, I will do photo of it.

   I go there with one goal, to relax my brain and body! So, I will put my favorite book and read it too.

    

At winter

Winter in different countries is very different. For example now, in November in Ukraine is already snowing, but here, in Japan, there is nothing, to makes you think of winter! At this time I usually sledge, ski, skate, make a snowman and play with snowballs in company with my friend. Near my house there is a lake, in summer everyone are swimming there, but every winter this lake makes in ice! And players of hockey, every year clean up it and training (skating) there.

   After school or on weekends we with my friend sledging down through this lake too! Every time when we are going to “ one hour “, we usually come back home after three hours))). 
   The temperature in Ukraine now is very cold, but in Japan, conversely, not so cold. For example, since October in Ukraine I usually wear a warm coat and warm hat, but in Japan October look like September or August in Ukraine! Really I was shocked first time, because no one in October did not wear hats and coats! But now, it is rather colder..
And especially I am shocked, that in Japan there is not any autumn and holidays, because in Ukraine there were autumn holidays, but in Japan i am still studying!
   Usually on winter holidays, I and my family go to something like winter hotel, for better health, but not in this year, because in Japan there is not something like this!
   So that I think that at winter in Japan is very boring! But my mom said that we will go to north to my friend`s house and we will spend our winter holidays there, in company our friends and with SNOW!
   I hate winter only for one thing, there is so cold in December in Japan at big house!!! OH, and I forgotten to ask everyone, is i true that in Japan there is never snowing?

Then, as usually I will have shower, watch TV and sleep. For my meaning there will be nothing change! It must go thousands years to technological life, which is arguing in many books and internet.

My favorite technology

I love all of technology, and I can`t say which is my favorites! But I can write about Iphone, because we use this thing everyday. We can talk on the phone, send messages, find information for a few minutes, you must not to go to computer lab, you can do it from the seat! In Iphone there are these programs at least:
1) Google
2) Phone, Skype
3) Weather
4) Photos
5) Videos
6) Messages(Line, yahoo, g mail, massages...)
7) Camera
8) Game Center
9) Music
10) And of course different sites and what you will upload.
It is comfortable, because we can use it everywhere. For example I use Iphone, not just for phone, I use it also for Skyping, in Line, in my Ukrainian sites and of course, at school in researching time. Sometimes I play games, when it is nothing to do! But my mom and dad, is another thing, they use their Iphones only for calling someone, they never use Internet or play games.

The blue one is  the six countries which got the original iPhone, (also got the iPhone 3G in 2008).
The light blue one is countries where the iPhone 3G is available.
And the green one is Iphone, which is coming soon.

The first I phone was released on June 29, 2007 year, the most recent Iphones,seventh-generation Iphone 5C and Iphone 5S,were introduced on September 10, 2013.The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPhone has Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity.

My hobbies

       I have three hobbies. They are very different of each other! And today I want to arguing about it. I love it all, but my the favorite is ballet.
       When I was child, I was gone to different parts of sport, and for dance of course, such as Indian, European, Sport dance, and one year ballet. But when I become older I haven`t time to go hobbies, I must to studied at school. I was gone to each dance for one year, because my dream was to enjoy different kinds of ballet, but for sport dance, I was going two years! But since I came to Japan I went to Ballet and now I'm` enjoying ballet too! Now i`m going to present what I studied here, in Japan on Ballet at school for music lesson, we`re going to present something for the song " Safe and Sound " . And I will present my ballet lesson, so please come to see me, if you want. In my ballet group there are only two people and I. And it`s good for me, because this dance studio is near my house.
       My second hobby is cooking I love cooking since my childhood. And for each holiday I am cooking something from me, for example on New Year I am cooking New Year cookies with wishes all each year! For Eastern I`m doing eggs in red color and I with my granny ding meat and sausages every year! And for  for Maslenitsa example, I`m doing  pancakes with jam, sometimes my granny helps me...
       And my third hobby is riding a bike. I love sport! So that every morning, when I`m going to school, I go to station by bike. In my family everyone have his or hers personal bike! As for me, I love my bike very much, so that, I often clean up my bike) Sometimes we are going to supermarket with mom, but only on bikes! It is so comfortably to put all of packets from supermarket to bike and ride on it, withing any load.
My mom usually go to work by bike and than, by train, to healthiness. And of course every weekend morning I go to river by bike to healthiness and I`m going about one hour.

       I love all of my hobbies very much!
