In order to whet your appetites for the forthcoming TR LHR-NRT, NRT-LHR, here's a taster.
On arrival at The Peninsula, Tokyo, we were escorted to our room and the charming receptionist offered to refresh my memory of the room's amenities and facilities.
I was fairly confident that I could remember how to control the temperature and humidity, obtain the outside wind direction, velocity, air temperature, wind chill, humidity and where to find the nail varnish dryer, so I declined.
Despite this, we were informed that The Peninsula was now delighted to offer VOIP calls; simply press the VOIP button on one of the telephone handsets (I think there were 5 in the room) dial 001 plus the country code and the landline or mobile number, and you're through, for free, for as long as you like.
Apologies were offered if the service was not perfect as, sometimes, the bandwith didn't allow VOIP, but that was just a fib; the service worked perfectly, everytime, and we were so irritating telephoning everybody that we had numbers for.
The quality of the connection was amazing and, if The Peninsula can deliver, let's see who follows?
