Dear All,
Below is a play by play account of my last 43 minutes...
Hotwire Online Hotel Booking rejected my credit card because of address inconsistencies.
I tried to call Visa using my international calling card’s local number but the call ate all the credit on my mobile and I was disconnected.
I tried to use the “pee phone” across the street and was laughed at by Tuk Tuk drivers. Apparently it hadn’t worked since the war.
Ever determined, I found an internet cafe and spent 23 minutes in something very similar to what I experienced on the “Indiana Jones” ride at Universal Studios. Picture a steamy cabinet, scrawled nonsense on the walls, a menacing open face fan, a chewed up rubber mouse pad (consumed perhaps by someone else who likely had been on hold even longer than me) and a low ceiling of spider webs to entangle me if/when I passed out.
Mission apparently complete, I returned home again, Hotwire rejected me again, and now I am going back to do it all over, again...
Watch the news tonight...
Wow,
Mw
