This shiny machine is a common feature on every floor in all our classroom buildings. It is a hot water dispenser. All day long it boils a big tank of water so instead of hanging around the water cooler – you can hang around the water heater. It makes the water safe to drink, refills tea containers, which you can drink or just warm up your hands with. All the dorms have lots of big (gallon size thermos) available for the kids to take the drinkable water to their rooms. I am sure there is one of these shiny machines in this hotel but I haven’t found it yet. And yes, it is used as much in the summer time too. You actually get used to drinking hot drinks all year long.
