I just can't believe that CNN commercial.

They claim that every day 2.5 million world travelers spend all day and every night in their rooms watching CNN. Now, tell me. Would you go to all the trouble of flying to a different part of the world just to spend all of your time in a hotel room doing nothing by watching CNN?

Well, it isn't the only thing I do, but I do turn on the news while I'm trying to fall asleep with jet lag telling me I should be out and about.

That's what I was doing on 9/11. Kind of lucky I was in a hotel, because I didn't have a TV at that time in Taiwan and probably would have missed the whole thing. (My ex-girlfriend heard about it second-hand, but didn't really get why everybody was so upset, not having seen the pictures or any of the reaction."

All the times that I've done backpacking through SE Asia, I usually will check into a nice hotel once every two or so weeks, lie in a nice clean bed with crisp sheets, order room service and watch CNN International all day. Bliss. Great for recharging the batteries.

when you've got a hotel, but no more money left for the day, and your feet are tired from hiking, or running around doing the tourist thing, or you've got food-poisoning - nothing beats cnn!

I can't be bothered with CNN anytime, anywhere. It's BORING!

For good old fashioned reporting the way it should be..look no further than BBC World Service

Of course not all day, and all night - and yes, cnn is very boring. But when you haven't seen English television in weeks, or even really spoken English - its a nice little piece of home.
