During a trip to Brazil, I stayed at a hotel in Rio de Janeiro, and it was a fun and challenging experience. As soon as I entered the hotel, I was told some rules, which intrigued me. These rules are not only to maintain order, but also to ensure that everyone can have a good time here.
First of all, smoking is not allowed in the rooms. When I heard this, I was glad I wasn't a smoker. But in a chance experience later, I felt the importance of this rule. One night, I was in my room listening to samba music outside the window, and I was in a very good mood. But at this moment, a strong smell of smoke suddenly came from the next room, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. I hurriedly opened the window, but the smell of smoke still filled the room, preventing me from resting. That's when I realized that if the hotel allowed smoking in the room, it would be a nuisance and unfair for non-smoking guests. So, even if I don't smoke, I understand the need for this rule.
In addition to the prohibition of smoking, the property also has a rule that you cannot make loud noises in public areas after 10pm. This provision was fully verified in one night. I was chatting with a few new friends on the terrace of the hotel, and my voice gradually increased due to the excitement of everyone. Unexpectedly, the staff at the hotel came to remind us to pay attention to the volume. Although I was a little unhappy at the time, I thought about it afterwards that this rule was indeed to take care of the rest needs of other guests. In a strange city, everyone needs a quiet environment to rest and relax, so that they can better enjoy the fun of travel.
In addition to these basic rules, there are some "small" rules that make people laugh. For example, I couldn't have my own sound system by the pool because I was amused by one of the guests who put on a piece of music that was so loud that it scared away the tourists around me. In addition, the hotel has a policy that swimwear is not allowed in the dining area, and clothes and pants must be worn in order to enter the dining area. I thought it was strange when I first heard about this rule, but later I learned that it was to keep the dining environment clean and civil, so as not to make other guests feel uncomfortable.
I also met some interesting characters along the way. For example, one of the staff at the hotel, named Carlos, is a warm and cheerful young man who always greets guests with a smile on his face. I also got to know a traveler from Argentina named Antonio, who is a photographer with a soft spot for the sights of Brazil. Together, we went to the famous Kristova Beach to enjoy the spectacular sunset and talk about our love and feelings about traveling. During this time of acquaintance, I felt the charm of travel and the beauty of sharing happiness with like-minded people.
Overall, this trip to Brazil gave me a taste of the charm of different cultures and a deeper understanding of the importance of hotel rules. In an unfamiliar environment, following the local rules is not only a form of respect, but also a way for everyone to feel comfortable and safe during the trip. In addition to enjoying the scenery and meeting new people, you must also learn to respect the local culture and regulations, so that the trip can be more colorful and full of good memories.
