你會入住嗎? 十大不走尋常路旅館
A sewer pipe, a former prison, and a huge wooden horse, accommodation these days is as surprising as it is varied.
下水管？前監獄？巨型木馬？現代人的住宿選擇的變化着實讓人吃驚。

But this former Oxford prison has been converted into a boutique hotel by the fashionable Malmaison chain and offers the kind of luxurious living that former convicts could only have dreamed of.
不過這座維多利亞時期的監獄被時尚的瑪拉瑪遜酒店連鎖改建成了一座精品酒店，提供着豪華舒適的住宿環境，這應該是以前的那些犯人做夢也想不到的吧。

這座小屋可以招待兩對夫婦，小屋配備有淋浴設備、微波爐和冰箱。
The real attraction are the fish; the lodge is like a goldfish bowl in reverse, where you sit and watch angelfish, parrotfish, barracuda and snappers peering in at you through the window.
真正吸引眼球的地方是各種各樣的魚。住在小屋裏就像你待在金魚缸裏一樣，靜靜地坐着，你可以看到神仙魚、鸚嘴魚、梭魚和鯛魚透過窗戶偷窺你哦。

這些排水管直徑有2米，2.5米長，可以通過一個舷窗看到外面。有一個前門可以關上，還有一個舒適的窩可以蜷縮着躺進去。管道房間裏還有牀墊、牀頭燈、羊毛毯和一個輕便的睡袋。
It’s novel, it’s bold, and the best part is that you pay as much, or as little, as you want.
這是新奇也是大膽的想法。最好的地方是：你想付多少錢就付多少錢，價格你說了算。

l Kakslauttanen, Finland

There is no more sublime experience than being suffused by the Northern Lights. To do so in a glass igloo must surely be one of the more novel and cosy ways of admiring one of nature’s most stunning phenomena.
再也沒有比近距離沐浴在北極光的照射下更加美好的經歷了。想要欣賞自然這一神奇絢爛的奇觀，住在玻璃屋旅館裏肯定是更新奇安逸的方式。
Situated within the Arctic Circle, deep in the snowbound Saariselka area of northern Finland, the cabins are built from ice or glass; both are surprisingly warm and utterly chic, but somewhat lacking in privacy.
這些小屋旅館坐落在北極圈裏，位於芬蘭北部大雪覆蓋的薩利色爾卡深山裏。小屋用冰或玻璃建造而成，但是很神奇的地方是，小屋裏很暖和，也超級別致。不過不好的地方就是沒有隱私啦。
