Ihotele uCarter isondela kwisitrato samaNtshona sama-43 (Ifoto: Kaitlyn Flannagan) Ingqondo yokubikezela kwangaphambili iqala kakuhle ngaphambi kokungena kwigumbi lokungenisa ihotele i-Carter. Iqala ngophendlo lukaGoogle.
Uya kufumanisa ukuba Ihotele yeCarter , ebekwe kwisitalato i-Westrd 43, lixesha eliphumeleleyo kathathu kwi-TripAdvisor eyona hotele Kwisaveyi yaseMelika kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, yeyona hotele imbi kwisiXeko saseNew York. Gumba ngakumbi kwaye uza kufumana iingxelo zokwaphula umthetho wekhowudi, uhlaselo lwezinambuzane, ukubulala kunye nokuzibulala. Ngaba uziva ukhaliphile? Yenza umfanekiso wokukhangela.
Ihotele, kwiminyaka yayo engummangaliso engama-84 yobukho, ithathe indawo ethile yentsomi kwisiXeko saseNew York. Kodwa ngokuxhaphaka kwe-Yelp kunye ne-TripAdvisor, into eyayisakuba ngumdlalo wasezidolophini ngoku ibhalwe kwi-Intanethi ukuba ibonwe nangubani na, naphina emhlabeni. Ukufunda uhlolo oluthile lomsebenzisi kwanele ukwenza ukuba isisu sakho sikhuphe, kunganyanzeleki ukuba ubhukishe igumbi.
Ngaphandle koku, kukho umsinga ozinzileyo weendwendwe eziza kwaye zingena kwiminyango yehotele. Ewe, amagumbi aphantsi, kwaye indawo enqwenelekayo, kodwa zikhona ezinye iindlela zehotele, kwaye ezingayi kukunika iirhorhoi zebhedi . Ke ngoku igama likaCarter liphantse lathatha indawo, ngoobani le miphefumlo kwaye kutheni ilapho?
Ukuhlala kwigumbi elisekungeneni eCarter luhambo ngokwalo – kufana ne-Times Square engummelwane, uya kuqala ujonge indawo enqamlezileyo yabantu. Kodwa, njenge Times Square, ngamanye amaxesha kukho igama eliphantsi elibi. Kolunye utyelelo lwamva nje, i Umjongi uqaphele umfazi elila ekoneni. Indawo yonke iqonde ngokuthe ngqo kwii-1970s sibonga iisofa zesikhumba, iikholeji ze-marble, iitafile zokhuni, kunye nophahla olubonisiweyo.
NdinguClem kwaye nguJack, isithandwa sam. Sivela eNgilane. Eli lixesha lethu lokuqala eNew York Umjongi Ngenye intsasa kwindawo yokulinda. UClem wayefaka isicelo sokufihla amehlo- kwaye engazange afumane obona buthongo busemnandi.
Esi sibini sathi bakuluhlahlo-lwabiwo mali oluqinileyo, kwaye iindleko zomoya zibiza kakhulu kunokuba bekulindelwe, indawo yokuhlala yayiyeyona nto iphambili. Ukukhangela kuGoogle okumnandi- ihotele eshibhile iTimes Square- ibakhokelele kwiphepha leCarter's Hotels.com. Ngokungxama kwabo, babhukisha igumbi ngeedola ezili-159 ebusuku ngaphandle kokufunda uhlolo. Kwiintsuku nje ngaphambi kokuba bemke uClem wafunda iphepha le-TripAdvisor. 
Iindidi zemifanekiso yeendwendwe ezilayishwe kwiphepha le-TripAdvisor yehotele uCarter
Ndicinge, ikaka, uthe. Kodwa, kulungile, ke besilindele ukuba swishy? Hayi. Ngaba besilindele iRitz? Hayi. Ngaba besilindele ukucoceka nokucoceka? Ewe, ewe!
UClem noJack basixelele ukuba igumbi labo lokuhlambela lalisoyikeka, kwaye ikhaphethi khange ibonakale ngathi icocwe ixesha elide. Amakhethini ayenothuli, iTV yayingasebenzi, kwaye kwakungekho phepha langasese kwigumbi lokuhlambela. Kwakufuneka baye kwidesika engaphambili bona bayokuthatha umqulu.
Ndicinga ukuba icebo kukuchitha ixesha elincinci apha kangangoko kunokwenzeka, utshilo uJack ngokuqaqambileyo. Siya epakini namhlanje. Yiyo yonke into esiyaziyo. 
Abantu ababukele kwigumbi lokungenisa (Ifoto: Kaitlyn Flannagan)
Ndizifundile ezi zibuyekezo kwi-Intanethi, umfazi onqwenela ukuhlala engachazwanga igama usixelele ngobunye ubusuku kwigumbi lokungenisa. Wayetyelele esuka eLouisiana kukhenketho olufutshane lweshishini. Kwaye ndacinga ukuba abantu, uyazi, bayazibaxa izinto kwi-Intanethi, bazame ukuhlekisa. Ewe, kwimeko yale ndawo ndicinga ukuba bendiloluhlobo lokungqina okungalunganga.
Usixelele ngamashiti ebhedi amdaka kunye neethayile zangasese ezimdaka. NjengoClem noJack, naye wayecaphukile xa kufuneka ezenzele iphepha lakhe langasese.
Ayisiyonto imbi kangako, nangona evumile. Ixabiso eliphantsi yile nto liyiyo.
Okubi kwaye kungabizi, utshilo u-Emma Arenton, ibhinqa eliselula elindwendwele lisuka eNew Zealand. Ukugqibela kwam ukuba ndivumele udade wethu afumane indawo yokuhlala.
Kwabanye, njengabantakwabo JR kunye no-Anthony waseBuffalo, eNew York, ukuhlala eCarter yinto yokuziqhenya.
Eli lixesha lethu lesine? Hayi, isihlandlo sesihlanu apha. Kwaye ndiza kukuxelela, siza kubuya, uJ. Kuye kwafuneka singene kutyelelo lukatata wethu, mdala ngoku. Kwaye usixelela nge 'New York yakudala' apho unokufumana khona igumbi, kungekho mibuzo ibuziweyo. Kwaye yile! Le yiNew York endala! Siyazithanda iimpuku!
Abazalwana basixelele nanini na xa bethumela imifanekiso yegumbi labo ku-Instagram – yona, bayavuma, ukuba ayihlambulukanga kwaye ayonwabanga – bafumana izixa ezilinganiselweyo zezinto ‘abazithandayo.’

Nangona kunjalo, esona sihlandlo simangalisayo sokuhlangana nomphathi sivela kumfazi ogama linguHelen ngenye ingokuhlwa kwigumbi lokungenela.
Eli lixesha lam lokuqala apha kwaye kuyathandeka, kuyathandeka ngokwenene, utshilo uHelen. Igumbi lam belicocekile ngendlela ebenako ngayo. Kwakunjalo nendawo yokuhlambela.
Ngaba wayelazi igama likaCarter? Ngaba wayezifundile iimpendulo kwi-Intanethi?
Hayi – bendingenalo nofifi! Abantu bakhethe kakhulu kule mihla, watsho ehleka. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndingabuya.
Ukukhanya okuqaqambileyo kwagcwalisa amehlo akhe xa esixelela ngegumbi lakhe elithe cwaka, isantya esiphezulu kwi-Intanethi, ukutya okushiywe kukugcina indlu- nangona kunjalo ukugcinwa kwendlu kungashiyi kutya. (Xa sabuza indoda eyayikwidesika engaphambili ukuba ihotele ikhe yashiya izinto ezincomekayo wavele wahleka.)
Ke yenza ntoni ngayo yonke le nto? Kubonakala ngathi iindwendwe ezininzi zazingachazwanga. Ukuba bebechithe ixesha besebenzisa i-TripAdvisor okanye uphononongo lweYelp ngekhe baphinde baqwalasele ukukhetha uCarter. Uninzi luye lwasixelela ukuba luye lwashukunyiswa ziifoto zobungcali ezinomtsalane ezibonakaliswe kuCarter's iwebhusayithi , kunye nephepha labo Hotels.com. Abanye bahendwa kukuthandana kwendawo apho ixesha limi ngxi.
Ekuphela kwento esiyaziyo kukuba ekugqibeleni kuphume uCarter, ungene kwisitrato sama-43 esikhanyiswe lilanga, emva koko udlule eTimes Square, apho isandi samazwi sinyuka sikujikeleze ngokungathi yinkungu ekhuselayo, sesona sikufutshane sikhe saya kumava enkolo. Asikwazanga ukubaleka ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo.
