Hotels Of The World
The concept of hotels is rather old. Ages ago people who traveled used to stay in what were called inns. With time the inns turned into hotels and innovations started coming in. However the basic concept remains the same. A hotel is an establishment that provides accommodation on a short term basis. Hotels can be found in well every city and town of the world. Even some villages have their small establishments that allow visitors to spend time there.
As with most other products the hotel quality varies according to the money one is willing to pay. From the small budget establishments that charge nominal rates and provide basic amenities to large worldwide chains of hotels that charge a fortune but make sure the amenities and service are value for money hotels have it all. There are hotels where one has to pay for everything and there are others where every conceivable need is taken care of along with the room charges. In the United Kingdom hotels are legally bound to serve food and drinks within certain hours. There are those private hotels that are exempt from this law. In countries like Japan there is a concept of capsule hotels that provide shared facilities within a fixed amount of room space that is a bare necessity. In India the term hotel is also associated with restaurants.
Due to the huge surge in tourism worldwide the concept of hotels has changed drastically. People these days associate comfort and service with the name hotel. It is almost impossible to run an establishment that doesn’t have the qualities stated already. There are hotels that range from 1 to 5 stars the higher the star more the luxury.
Among the hotels that have stood the test of time are Schloss Cecilienhoff in Potsdam Taj Mahal Palace and Tower in Mumbai Waldorf Astoria in New York City Hotel Sacher in Vienna Hotel de Paris in Paris Raffles Hotel in Singapore Ritz Hotel in London Grand Hotel Europe in Saint Petersburg Algonquin Hotel Hotel Statler and Hotel Chelsea in New York City. All these hotels transformed themselves with time and continue to entertain guests even now.
Some hoteliers have changed the concept by going different. Hence one can find tree house hotels cave hotels capsule hotels ice and snow hotels garden hotels and underwater hotels! An extension of hotels can now be found in resorts that are built to cater to one particular trade. The casino resorts of Las Vegas are an example of resorts.

Horses In Malaysia?
Yes plenty from racing to dressage to jumpers and endurance there is polo even handicap riding programs! The country is lush even in the city center. The riding facilities are primarily in a club setting. Labor is inexpensive in Malaysia thus boarding relative to our standards is inexpensive 1350.00 Ringgit or roughly 125.US your horse will be groomed mucked and provided with basic feed.
The barns we visited at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian Country Resort were designed for the heat and humidity of south Asia. High ceilings lots of room for circulation the days are hot but the stalls seem very comfortable. The stalls were kept very clean manure is picked up and bagged for removal. The grooms worked their shed row much like our race tracks.
There are horses of many breeds in Malaysia and a variety of riding style there. Plenty of European trainers come to teach young and more mature riders. The Asian Classics show jumping for qualified Asian riders were held in conjunction with the FEI World Cup Show Jumping At Bukit Jahil Stadium about a half hours drive from the capital Kuala Lumpur1 According to the US show jumping team the footing lighting and accommodations were all be exceptional. The horses there were housed in large box stalls and the barn warm up arena and stadium are all air conditioned. Now back home the thought of air conditioning a stable is a bit unordinary except in some of the very arid parts of the US but here for this competition it is keeping the horses in a very controlled environment through out the competition.
On the east coast of the country along the South China Sea the Equestrian World Endurance Championships will be held in 2008. Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin of Terengganu 2 along with five other Malaysian riders will compete at the World Endurance Championship in Germany this August to promote the event in Malaysia. The Terengganu Pony Club and a state owned Equestrian Club have been erected to rekindle interest in riding in that state.
The native pony in Terengganu is the Kuda Padi. On the Northeastern shores young Malaysians ride their ponies bareback and barefoot as fast as they can along the beaches and at local events. There is an annual Kelantan Equestrian Festival Pesta Sukan Berkuda Kelantan. The Kelantan bareback riders dress their ponies and themselves in lavish textiles splashed with wonderful colors and sequences. Truly a sight!
South East Asia is not the first place one would think to look for horses but they have them and it seems a past time many natives enjoy.
