Taiwan Super-Sizing Amenities For Pacers And Nuggets
The China Post has a humorous story about the preparations in place at the Far Eastern Plaza Hotel in Taipei for their NBA guests from the Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets.
From the beds and bathrobes to the food portions, the hotel is kicking everything up a notch and in some cases doubling the size of certain creature comforts in an effort to accommodate for the players.
It has prepared 270 "special" rooms for the group of over 300 NBA players, family members, executives and staffers coming to Taiwan, with each room being equipped with 170-centimeter bathrobes (instead of the standard 120 cm), 30.5 cm slippers, 183 cm bath towels and 2.43-meter-long beds, Liu said.
The room service menu will also offer expanded portions, with the standard 200-gram (7 oz.) steak becoming 500 grams (17+ oz.) and the standard bowl of beef noodles doubling in size. Gigantic U.S.-styled hamburgers and mountains of fresh fruit will also be available, Liu said.
Suddenly I'm hungry.

Mmm...
It looks like they spare no expense. The NBA seems to be big time in Asia. I am very proud that our team was chosen as one of the two to represent the league and our country.

good to hear that. All NBA teams get the rock star treatment over there. Asia, especially China, Korea, Taiwan are mad crazy about the league.
Actually I think I’ll have my first sentence retracted until the Grizzlies had been over there.
