Stayed at Saigon central - Majestic Hotel. Tag line - "Since 1925".. Typical pre-war (which one? :)), colonial style, but jacked up to 5 star and charging more than USD 100 per night. Checked in late afternoon, hung around the lobby until dinner and later some drinks. When I went into my room at 12midnight, it was a strangely quiet time.
Took a shower and started to read my emails (via wifi). Switched on the TV. Then suddenly the TV goes off. I switched it on again. Then it goes off within a minute. But before I could switch it on again, the radio comes on.. I quickly off the radio and switch on the TV again. Then the TV goes off, radio comes on and the curtain lights go off. It happens a total of about 5 times. Freaky.
I call my colleague next door to come over. We wait 15 minutes. Nothing happens. Okie dokie, time to change room. Moved both of us out and into a twin sharing room. Managed to get some shut eye. Mental note to self - no more hotels more than 50 years old. Some pictures of hallway, lobby and downtown Saigon during evening rush hour, beside Saigon river.
