Ndaziswa okokuqala kwi-Nam Hai nguJeremy Clarkson, owathi, ngexesha lesiganeko esikhethekileyo sika-2009 Igiya ephezulu , wafumana indawo yokubalekela ukufuma okunzima ecaleni kwehotele zodidi oluphezulu olunamachiza amachibi angenasiphelo kunye neelwandle zabucala ezimhlophe ezibude buziikhilomitha ezimbini. Imiswe phakathi kwemithi yekhokhonathi engaphezulu kwemizuzu eli-15 ukusuka kwisixeko sakudala saseVietnam, iHoi An, iClarkson ibonwa icofa i-Nam Hai Sling, i-signature gin kunye ne-ananas cocktail. Ukuba uyadlula, kufanelekile ukuba ungene. Eneneni, nokuba awupasanga, kufanelekile ukubhabha ngaphaya kwakho nje, utsho egxininisa ngeTV.
Kwiminyaka emihlanu kamva ndazifumana ndiseHo Chi Minh nesithandwa sam, apho, emva kokutya iveki yonke ukutya kwasesitalatweni kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali olunqabileyo, sagqiba kwelokuba siqhubele emantla ngaseLaos. Ndidinga i-pitstop-point-point, ndayiva indlela ka-Clarkson ehlekisayo yase-Bhritane endichukumisayo. Ndiye ndachwetheza i-Nam Hai, apho amagumbi asukela kwi- $ 700 ukuya kwi-3,000 yeedola ngobusuku kunye neenkonzo zespain ezixabisa, ngokomndilili, $ 400, kuGoogle ukujonga nje.
Kuqala mandicacise malunga nokunyanzeliswa kohlahlo-lwabiwo mali. Ndiyawathanda amatikiti; Ndithenga ngokukhuthala, ndilinde ukuthengiswa kunye needilesi ezingcono Ndiloluhlobo lomntu ochitha ixesha elide ekhathazekile ngenxa yento ayithengayo iNew York Metrocard (engenamda okanye ehlawulelwa ukukhwela), eyazi inkcitho yokukhwela engasetyenziswanga, engasebenziyo kum. Xa sijikeleza iU.S., mna nomfana endithandana naye siqhele inkampu kunye ne-Airbnb yezoqoqosho — akukho namnye kuthi owakha wahlala ehotele eneenkwenkwezi ezintlanu ngaphambili, kwaye sasingazange sibe namava e-spa yokwenene. (Imassage eChinatown ayibalulekanga kwaphela.) Kodwa xa undwendwela kude, iindawo ezingaqhelekanga, indlela yam yokusebenzisa imali ibonakala itshintsha. Nawuphi na umbono we-solvency wezezimali utshintshwa ngokukhawuleza ngohlobo lwengqondo ye-yolo, apho impikiswano, ngekhe siphinde sibuyele apha, ukuze nathi 'siyenze ngokufanelekileyo,' sihlala siphumelela.
Kwisikhululo sikaloliwe eHo Chi Minh saqala ukuskrolela kwimifanekiso ye-The Nam Hai ekhanyiswe ngokugqibeleleyo nangendlela enobuchule. Ijongeka intle, kodwa ngaba oku kufanelekile ngemali? wabuza umfana wam. Nangona ndingenakutsho ngokuqinisekileyo, ndifumene ingcinga yesayensi yokuxhasa ubuhlanti. Kwangoko kulo nyaka, isifundo sinesihloko Ubomi obumangalisayo: Ukusetyenziswa kwamava kunye nokufuna ukonwaba , epapashwe kwiJenali ye-Consumer Psychology, yangqina ukuba amava (izinto ezinjengokuhamba, ukwenza imisebenzi yangaphandle, ukutyelela imiboniso, okanye ukutya kwiivenkile zokutyela) kuzisela abantu olona lonwabo luhlala luhleli. Izinto eziphathekayo, njengeTV entsha esifuna ukuyithenga endaweni yoko, musa. Ke egameni lokoneliseka okunyamezeleyo, njengoko uGqirha Thomas Gilovich, unjingalwazi wezengqondo kwiYunivesithi yaseCornell owayeqhuba isifundo, ebeka, saye sacinga ukuba yintoni isihogo kwaye sabhukisha indawo yokuhlala kwigumbi elinye kwigumbi elingaselunxwemeni lolwandle e-The Nam Hai, ngendlu yangasese kunye igadi yeshawari yangaphandle ephindwe kabini ubukhulu bendlu yethu yaseGreenpoint, eBrooklyn.
Tsala isicatshulwa 
Ifumaneka kunxweme lwaseH Ha My kunxweme olusembindini waseVietnam kwaye lubekwe kwiihektare ezingama-87 zobubanzi, indawo eqingqiweyo, i -Nam Hai ithathwa njengenye yehotele ezincinci eziphambili kwihlabathi. (Okwangoku ineengxelo ezi-1,200 ezigqwesileyo Umcebisi Kukho ii-villas ezincinci ezingama-60 ezizimeleyo, zonke zinebhedi ephakanyisiweyo eneeposta ezine ejonge kuLwandle lwase China, kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezingama-40 ezinkulu ezinamagumbi okulala amahlanu, iphuli yabucala, kunye neekota zabangcamli. Okoko ihotele yavulwa okokuqala ngo-2006, ifumene intwana ye amabhaso , kubandakanya Ukuhamba + Ukuzonwabisa Indawo ekumgangatho ophezulu eyilelweyo kwihlabathi ngo-2008, kunye namawonga asuka eConde Nast Traveler, Frommer's Review kunye neAustralia Gourmet Traveler. Kulo nyaka ithweswe isithsaba ngeyona ndawo i-Best Spa Hotel Mnu noNksk. Smith .
Ngovuyo, safika ehotele ngemoto yabucala emnyama eyayisilande esikhululweni, siziva njengabantwana ababini abanenkathazo abo-nangona babebadala-bezenza abantu abadala abangaqhelekanga kwilizwe elingaqhelekanga kuthi. Umlindisango wasibonisa indawo yethu yokuhlala kwigalufa entle yehle, ezantsi kweendlela ezinamajikojiko zizaliswe zizityalo ezishinyeneyo zetropiki. Ukuzola kwethu kwanyibilika kwangoko xa evala ucango; endicinga ukuba uKevin ungene njani Ikhaya Lodwa 2 Kuya kufuneka ukuba uzive emva kokungena kwi-Plaza Hotel. Ngokukhawuleza saphanda izixhobo ezifihliweyo ze-villa (zininzi), kwaye samangaliswa yimveliso yokuhlambela yokuhlambela, njengeebhotile zeempuphu ezintsha ze-rose zeebhafu zeebhafu.
Umgangatho wokunethezeka okubonelelwa yihotele kuthetha ukuba akuqhelekanga ukuba abasebenzi basule isanti kwibhotile yakho yamanzi ukuba ithe yawa esihlalweni sakho sokuphumla, nokuba ungabhikisha kangakanani. Inkonzo yeTurndown ibandakanya ukukhanyisa amakhandlela kwilali nganye xa ilanga litshona, apho abasebenzi bevalela indawo yakho yokulala ephakanyisiweyo kwislip emhlophe yesandla. Umsebenzi wobugcisa waseVietnam wangoku uxhonywe kwiindawo eziphakamileyo zokuhlala (ezibonisa idesika yokubhala ezitshisiweyo, ipeni lomthombo ibandakanyiwe), kwaye igumbi lokuhlambela elinobunkunkqele livula igadi yabucala kunye neshawa yangaphandle.
Kodwa i indawo yokuhlala ebuyayo uqobo, eyilwe ngumzobi UReda Amalou , kulapho i-wow-factor isete khona. ichazwe ngu Mnu noNksk. Smith njengendawo apho i-chic yaseVietnam idibana noyilo lwe-cut-edge, awuyi kufumana i-avareji yakho, unyango lwe-run-of-mill apha. Yakhelwe ngokomgaqo ofanelekileyo we-zen, i-spa ineebungalows ezisibhozo zokuphumla zabucala ezihamba ngokuthe gabalala phakathi kweentyatyambo ze-lotus kwichweba eligcwele iintlanzi ze-koi. Apha, ukhokelwa kwiminyango emikhulu yaseFrance kwindawo evulekileyo yokuphumla engena echibini, apho ibhafu enzulu ijongene nebhedi yosuku emibini, kwaye kunikezelwa ukhetho oluninzi lokuzonwabisa kunye neminyhadala yempilo. Unyango ngalunye luqala nge-oyile engene kwi-oyile, kwaye iphele ungaze ufune ukuhamba. Xa uClarkson wayetyelele, wayekholelwa ukuba ungakhululeka apha kangangokuba amathambo akho aya kunyibilika, eyibiza ngokuba yeyona spa imangalisayo kwihlabathi liphela.
NgokukaGqirha Gilovich, sisisixa esipheleleyo samava ethu. Isizathu esinye sokuba ukuthengwa kwamava kunokunika ukoneliseka okungapheliyo, uyachaza, kukuba banxibelelana ngokunzulu nabanye. Ingcaciso esengqiqweni: sikhumbula amaxesha akhethekileyo ngenene nabantu esibathandayo, kudala emva kwezinto eziphathekayo esasizihlawule kakhulu ngenxa yokuwa.
Ngokucacileyo la mava akufuneki abize. Kodwa xa mna nesithandwa sam sijonga emva kubudlelwane bethu beminyaka emithathu, apho izinto ezintle zithengiwe kwigumbi lethu lokuqala kunye kunye nohambo oluhamba nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali luthathiwe, ukuhlala kwethu eNam Hai ngamxhelo mnye kuhlala kuyinto ephambili. Ndamcela ukuba akhumbule iiyure ezingama-24 esizichithe apho, ethi, xa siphumile, idibanise inyanga yonke kunye neapos. Ubuso bakhe buyakhanya. Oko mhlawumbi, akukho joke, olona suku lubalaseleyo ebomini bam.
