Denver CO: Airport To City Via Quick Electric Train Ride


As with many other major cities, access to and from Denver’s airport is now available by a quick, clean, comfy electric train ride. The 40-minute trip costs $9, far less than the $60 or higher taxi or private car ride.

The electric train, the University of Colorado A Line,  is scheduled to run every 15 minutes from airport to downtown Denver, with several stops along the route. For even more traveler comfort, recently opened is the adjacent Westin Denver International Airport Hotel.

Nagasaki, Japan: New Hotel Totally Run By Robots PDF Print E-mail


The non-human hotel staff future is here!  The world’s first automated, robot-run hotel replaces human workers with sexy-looking plastic lady receptionists. A talking fake dinosaur greets incoming guests in many languages and provides other info.

At the Henn-na (Strange) Hotel, guests check in, check out, get rooms cleaned and luggage lugged by a fleet of efficient robots. They don’t need keys, and feel secure as they are given room and other services by their facial ID recognition.

The hotel is entirely powered by solar energy, including lighting and air-conditioning. Conveniently, the property is part of the Dutch theme park, Huis Ten Bosch, in the Sasebo area of Nagasaki. So far, there have been no announced plans for introducing inflatable maids.
