Irashaimasse!

We arrived in Tokyo at least two hours late and then took a two hour bus ride from Narita to the Hyatt Regency Tokyo in Shinjuku on the Friendly Airport Limousine Service bus.

An eager trainee took us to our room and said rather nervously,

"Thank you for waiting . . . May I show the room's features?"

and then proceeded to show us everything in our room, from light switches to towels to the temperature control, all with a "Thank you for waiting . . ." and a "This is" or "May I?" We were a little confused (we have stayed in hotels before) and though we were very tired from 17 hours of travel he was so earnest that we endured the whole introductory session with generosity.
