The hotel, located in a remote village in Sweden whose name I can’t pronounce, is approximately 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle and is made entirely out of ice.

No. 1 ice hotel ever

The Ice hotel was the first ice hotel in existence. It was started in the 1980s by a Swedish artist who wanted to create a large sculpture celebrating the natural resources around it.The hotel is rebuilt every year, opening in the winter and closing in spring.

Unique hotel feature

Ice sculptors from around the world are invited to participate in the creation of the hotel. Each suite (套间) is designed and created by a different artist and each has a separate and distinct style.

The room’s temperatures range from minus 5 to minus 8 degrees Celsius. I hate the cold, so this hotel would not be for me, but the pictures are beautiful. The beds are made entirely of ice.

To keep the guests from dying of freezing coldness, the beds are covered in deer hides with thermal (保暖) sleeping bags on top. For safety reasons, guests are only allowed to spend one night in the suite of the hotel.

Notification for accommodation

If you do want to stay longer, there are regular suites located above ground so that guests can stay multiple nights. Besides the bedrooms made of ice, there is an ice church if you want to get married there and the main entrance hall showcases a different sculpture each year and there is a world-famous ice bar where even the glasses are made of ice.

Prices are about a hundred dollars a night.

It was a beautiful midwinter day in Pretoria. The sun shone warmly, and the air was fresh, calling us outdoors. A friend and I went for a walk up a small hill. Everywhere around us the grass was a dull brown color, as if painted with a dirty brush. I told my thought to my friend who, in reply, drew from his coat a pocket microscope. Bending down, he picked some of the ugly-colored growth and handed it to me with the microscope. I could hardly believe my eyes, for suddenly I was looking at some shining tiny flowers of lovely color. It seemed strange that so much beauty should be so hidden, a secret life carried on by nature beneath a dull exterior (外表).

Some days later, while I was at the hospital where I worked, a woman entered with three children. Her hair hung in untidy wisps round a face whose uncared-for skin looked dried and dull. She sat down and waited her turn with the patience of the poor. The children gradually gathered courage and made braver explorations as time went by. Suddenly the little girl overbalanced and fell. Both her brothers, a little bigger than her, rushed anxiously to her aid. When the child fell, the mother had at first started up in alarm, but when she saw that the child was not really hurt and that her brothers were caring for her with such love, her eyes grew soft and a look of such indescribable love passed over her face — once again I looked at great beauty.

Beauty lies on every side; we must develop our own microscopes of perception ( 感知能力) in order to look through the physical exterior which, like the grass-covered hillside, conceals a beauty still hidden from our eyes.

In today’s society, it’s important that you apply science and technology to business. This calls for you to have high speed Internet in your business. You also need to have a very effective telephone line. The reason for this is due to the benefits that come with technology.

Communication is very important in business. The business world has become very competitive, thus employees need to communicate with clients fast and effectively. Communication is not only important when working with clients, but also important when working with other employees. For example, sales representatives and technicians don’t have to return to the office to know their next tasks. They can simply make phone calls or send emails. To make your business more modern, you should consider having a social media account.

Through technology, employees from different locations are able to interact and they not only talk about business, but also personal issues. This ensures that there is a healthy working environment, which plays a huge role in increasing the productivity of the employees.

IT experts have come up with many advanced software programs that allow your business to keep its records in an organized manner. The records can be on raw materials, suppliers, clients, and finances. These programs remove manual record keeping, which not only aids in improving the working efficiency, but also aids in removing human errors.

If you don’t have a large office space, you can ask your employees to work at home and send you the necessary documents via email. As a business manager, you don’t have to travel in order to hold a business meeting as you can do it over the Internet.

These are some of the benefits that come with technology. You should note that although technology is of great importance in the professional environments you need to manage it properly so that it’s not misused by employees.
