Many scientists find that colors can change people's feelings. It's very interesting. Some colors can
make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge
is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes
students feel relaxed. It is also good for the student's eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for
the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know
how to make money. Here are some things they've learned from scientific studies. The color red makes
people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue
make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon
makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many
restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.

                                            KINGS HOTEL-CUSTOMER COMMENTS
     I cannot say enough good things about the Kings Hotel. Till rooms were large, clean and comfortable
and the hotel workers were excellent. They were even able to book several sightseeing trips to different
parts of the city for us. Next time I come to London I will certainly be staying there again.

     The hotel 'a restaurant made the best food I have ever tasted. I am still dreaming about their roast beef
and potatoes. I had it for lunch and dinner almost every day I was there. I wanted to have it for breakfast too,
but it wasn't on the breakfast menu. The restaurant was a little expensive and the waiters were a bit careless
but I still think the hotel was great.

     I just want to tell visitors something about the swimming pool, at the Kings Hotel. When I was there, the
water was very dirty, almoshgreen. It really made me feel sick. When my drink fell in the water I asked the
worker if I could have another one. After waiting for half an hour he still had not brought me one so I returned
to my room.... At least the room was very nice.
     Michael Palin Sydney, Australia: August 2007
     This time last year I was in London for the first time and stayed at this hotel. I found the workers there
to be very friendly and helpful. The manager kindly gave me directions to the London Museum and Big Ben
and one time he even had a worker take me to the train station entrance. My room was also wonderful and
from the window Icould see the Thames River.
     Ma Li Beijing, China: June 2007
     ￡6 for a cup of coffee in the cafe! ￡ 3 for a postcard in the gift shop! ￡ 33 for a T-shirt from the
clothes store! I will never be coming back here. That's for certain.
