Doing a Hilton
"Doing a Hilton" has nothing to do with Paris Hilton. Not directly anyways.
While on a Habitat for Humanity building trip in Kuching, Sarawak back in the pre-iPod days of 2001, a group of students were wondering about town during a night off. After a Hepatitis B-filled dinner of recently slaughtered seafood, a few of us were looking to release the incresing pressure building up in our intestines. You must understand that Kuching is not a very big town, and the best place we thought of was... the Hilton. So the whole bunch of us trooped in and took are respective shits... and left. Hence, doing a Hilton - the usage of a hotel's (the classier, the better) bathroom facilities (ie. taking a shit) when not actually a paying customer.
Why am I telling you this?
Cos just now, I did the Park Hyatt Saigon version of the Kuching Hilton.
Very satisfying.
Marble floors and white fluffy towels.
Lots of leg space too.
