Staying in Japan's $465 Luxury Hotel like in a Ghibli Movie | Nara Hotel 

A lot of people think that, because you're getting paid to clean, they should be allowed to leave things as dirty/messy as they want. And, yes, that is the cleaning staff's job, but I also don't believe in making someone's job harder than it has to be. We don't get the choice over being born and forced to work and pay to exist. It's not like people are choosing to do those jobs because they enjoy it (I'm sure some weirdos do enjoy cleaning, and I'm envious of them for that, but most don't), they're doing it because they need money to survive and are looked down on if they don't work. Just exiting is hard enough for most people, especially lower income people. I don't agree with forcing people to work as it is, but until we eliminate money and our dependence on it, people who aren't rich (let's face it, rich people have other people to do the actual work for them while they take most of the money the workers bring in) will have to work. The people who have to work usually have the poorest quality of life, so I want to make life easier for them in any way I can, even if it's just by cleaning up after myself. I'm too poor to travel or stay at hotels anyway, but if I could do so, I would try to leave the room in as nice a state as possible.

This confirms that you do not change the bedding, which is disgusting. It would not help you even a tiny bit for them to make the bed if you were going to remove the linen and wash it. That is the reason that I often do the opposite -- I pull the bedding and leave it in a pile on the bed, so that the staff can skip some of the removal process. (With the assumption that they will actually be replacing the linens and blankets.)

@@runvnc208 I wasn’t just talking about making the beds, I was talking about the room in general. I have been cleaning rooms where there is food, blood or literal shit smeared on the walls and trash thrown on the floor. That was what I was thinking about when I wrote my comment, not just the sheets. The sheets and bedding is just a small part of what we have to clean when we prepare a room for a guest. Yes, pulling the sheets off is more helpful than making the bed (although anyone cleaning might wonder why you pulled the sheets in the first place and think that you’ve soiled them in some way - nothing against you, it’s just usually the only reason why guests pull their own sheets), but it’s still a nice gesture to walk into a room as a cleaner and see that the bed is made, even if it technically doesn’t help us in any way. We will pull the sheets off and make the bed anyway. I’m sure there are places where they don’t, but we have in every place I have worked at. And a nice tidy room saves us an awful lot of time - something we usually don’t have a lot of when we have to clean and prepare X number of rooms/beds before check-in starts. That said, it’s incredibly wasteful to clean a bed that hasn’t been touched or slept in. When you clean a hostel dorm for example, it’s not entirely uncommon for guests to choose to stay in a different bed than what has been assigned to them and it’s on us, the cleaners, to try and figure out which bed needs cleaning when that happens. (That was the situation I mentioned in my previous comment; not a private room but a bed in a dorm.) Many times we don’t have either the time or resources to change all the beds in an entire dorm just to be sure that we clean the right one if a guest had decided to change his or her bed. The same if a guest decides to go and grab sheets from a different bed because they want an extra pillow or blanket. My point was that it’s a really nice gesture of a guest to clean the room and make the bed and it puts a smile on our face even if the bed-making itself technically doesn’t do much to help us. Generally, the people who do take the time to make the bed will also take the time to collect any trash and leave the room in a clean and tidy shape which is really helpful. If you had to clean a hotel or hostel room you’d know what I meant by my comment and you wouldn’t be so quick to assume the worst. That said, thank you too for pulling the sheets off because it is helpful and a nice gesture as well and I can guarantee that it’s appreciated.

@@NekoArts but you did say make the bed as part of it. That actually is a hindrance if you are going to replace the sheets and blanket because you will always have to unmake it. Just admit it, you did not always replace the bedding if you thought you could get away with leaving it or scraping crap off the sheets.

Hallo, Ilona! Isn't he awesome?! I'm sorry to hear that your health isn't great, though. I'm kind of in the same boat right now, too. Isn't it a blessing to have our most distinguished fella take us with him, though?! Love and light to you, Sis, ❤️🙏🕊

I'm pretty sure those were cicadas you heard . Their sound is deafening early in the morning.

Me too about the mochi pounding lol I was so worried about somebody’s hand getting smashed!

@@phantom1439 you are right👍 thanks

Deer, not 'deers'.

Videos* 😛

The Cicada Serenade. 😵‍💫🦗🏯🦌

@@tessdurberville711 lol for sure! And thank you, my brain was mush that night and i couldn't remember the word cicada 😁 💚🕊🙏

Oh I'll fix it soon! haha

@@travelgeekphotography Thank you :D stay awesome ^^

Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

My guess a hefty fine. They are well protected by the government considered a treasure that represents Nara itself. I’ve been there and so far they always obey and keep the necessary speed limit if they know they are driving around there plus there’s a caution signboard for deer crossing .

They should change both regardless.
