business travel

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2005.09.09

It turns out that my use of the laundry facilities at the hotel in Tokyo was not covered by the travel expense policy. I had worried that the service was expensive when I used it, but my choices were: 1) use the hotel laundry service 2) wander about in the city with my laundry, trying to find a laundramat where the staff spoke English (and were, for some reason, working at a laundramat!).

The joke's on me, though. The total cost came to Y50169 or $550 Canadian.
