Three years later, in China, the return of the Lizard (now with 100% more Laser)

Back in March of 2008, I posted an entry about a conversation I had with one of the representatives of NAVO, the tour company that was helping me plan my itinerary for driving in to China. What's strange and funny is that I had a nearly similar conversation with a booking agent for a hotel in Hong Kong. Here's how I related the incident to my Executive Admin Katie during a recent chat on Skype:

[4/13/2011 10:41:09 PM] DNAgent: Speaking of lasers, I was on the phone to a few hotels in Hong Kong. "Is this room for laser?" was a question I got at one place.
[4/13/2011 10:41:26 PM] Katie: huh?
[4/13/2011 10:41:31 PM] DNAgent: "Uh, excuse me?" "Laser or business?"
[4/13/2011 10:41:46 PM] Katie: ha ha
[4/13/2011 10:42:11 PM] DNAgent: Seriously, no joke. Another one said something that sounded like "lizard." "No, just me and my phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range, thanks."
[4/13/2011 10:43:04 PM] Katie: I hate to resort to it, but LOL
[4/13/2011 10:43:58 PM] DNAgent: So, can you bring a plasma weapon with you into a hot tub?
[4/13/2011 10:44:09 PM] Katie: I don't see why not
[4/13/2011 10:44:52 PM] Katie: you never know when a zombie attack will occur
LOL
