Marriott Hotels Feature TED In-Room TV Live Chats


The popular online and YouTube website offers travelers free opportunities for two-way conversations. Now, while staying at a Marriott, you can use the room TV’s social media channels to gab.

While into TED, you can discuss politics, ask opinions, get health info, find the best local restaurants and talk live about almost anything you choose. Fortunately, unlike your mother-in-law’s tirade, you can turn off TED whenever you wish to end the conversation.
The Netherlands: Pot shops may ban foreign buyers PDF Print E-mail

The Netherlands government may pass legislature that bans open marijuana shops. It wants to turn them into private clubs, with membership limited to Dutch citizens age 18 and above. If the law goes into effect, the clubs will appropriately be called Weed Pass.

According to government authorities, the measure will stop those foreigners who come to The Netherlands just to buy the legal pot. They say the visitors are responsible for much of the street crime and other disruptions in Amsterdam and other tourist areas.

However, the mayor of Amsterdam and many local merchants are opposed to the strict law. They claim that the use of marijuana is a symbol of the city’s free style and is actually beneficial to its tourist industry.
