Dubai Airport Installing Sleep Box

I was disappointed why didn’t I think of this idea, someone smart person actually thought of having this special thing called the “Sleep Box” or “Sleeper Box” around airport areas so that you can rest during the interchange. Doha airport is one of the airports that has one of the most interchange done, and each time, the wait is probably 4-8 hours. Depending on the flight that are taking.

This is a genius way of getting people to sleep comfortable at a low cost and for a fast nap. Hotels at those areas, especially near airports can be very costly.

The Sleep Box is designed to be installed at train stations and airports, and central public places or cities where accommodation is fully booked. In tropical climate countries the sleeper box can be installed outdoors in main streets. The space includes bed, linen, ventilation system, alarm. LCD TV, WiFi , space for your laptop and re chargeable phone. Under your bed and floor there is a cupboard for your luggage. Below are the photos for your enjoyment.

 

Overnight Millionaire at Genting Highlands

Sometimes my mum and me goes psycho and start to do the wierdest thing. We drive all the way up genting, just for the Casino, gamble and drive back home at night. This is what happened on the 6th March 2010. All of a sudden we decided to go and try our luck at becoming a millionaire at the slots.

It’s not my nature to play slots, because the chances of winning it is too slim. I prefer playing something that’s more reasonable, something like the Casino Wars. Each player is given 1 card, and the dealer has a card himself. Who ever gets the bigger card compared to the dealer wins the stake. This has a 50% chance of winning. And sometimes when I get bored, I’ll go over to the 3 dice game. Harder to win, but you win more that what you initially bet.

I’ll get straight to the point, we lost that night, lost alot. It’s been long since we actually won at gentings, I guess that have already lured us. Or ar we addicted? My mum enjoys the slots, and to see her happy pushing those buttons hoping to hit the jackpot.

Well, eventhough we lost, we still enjoyed the thought that we could actually be a millionaire overnight. Till the next time, enjoy the photos below. We are not allowed to take photos in the Genting’s Casino itself, so I took a few shots at the shopping area and indoor theme park.
