Transcription Capsule Hotel
Transcription Capsule Hotel
-Well, at the moment, I’m working as an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo is an exciting
city, but is also very spread-out, it sometimes takes hours to go from one part of the city to
another. When I don’t feel like going all the way home, I sometimes stay at a capsule hotel.
- Yeah, it’s a hotel with lots of small rooms. Actually, they aren’t really rooms. There are spaces
there are 2 meters by one meter and only one meter high. Another words they are very
cramped. But the hotel is cheap and very convenient.
-And what’s inside each little room? Or should I say each space?
- Well, inside every capsule there is a bed, a TV, a reading light, a radio and an alarm clock, the
hotel also has lockers when you can keep your personal belongings.
-Well probably people like me, people who miss the last train home or don’t want to go all the
way home only to turn around to come back to work again, so it gets pretty busy as you can
imagine.
-Sure! The rooms are small, but you get use to sleep in a small space, I just wouldn’t
recommend the capsule hotel to people who can’t relax in small cramped spaces.
