5．Here's a hotel worth writing home about：a company in Poland plans to build tourist accommodation under the sea．The structure can be dragged to a suitable location and placed on supports on the sea bed．
The‘Water Discus'will be made up of an underwater disc containing 22bedrooms with sea views，connected by lift and stairs to a disc above the surface containing other hotel facilities．
Project manager Robert Bursiewicz says："Nowadays it's possible to build submarilles （潛水艇）which go deeper than 500m below the sea surface，so building an underwater hotel is not a problem．"
In fact，they don't plan to have the hotel very deep．Water acts like a filter（過濾器）for sunlight，and below l5m most colours，apart from blue，are washed out．And we all want to see colourful marine life，don't we？
But this isn't the first hotel to offer underwater views from the bedrooms．The two-bedroom Jules'Undersea Lodge，off the coast of Florida，has been taking in guests 10m beneath the surface since 1986．
The company that operates the hotel also runs a diving course for beginners to help get guests down and into the hotel．It is accessible only through an opening at the bottom．
And you'll find all the usual facilities in the room，according to Teresa McKirma，Jules's chief financial officer．It has a television，air conditioning and wi-fi．But for the staft，simple things like cleaning and making beds can be challenging，since the lodge is in sea water．
‘‘It actually takes quite a lot of work to get anything down there，"she says．"We have to put everything in waterproof boxes and attach weights to them to counter their buoymacy（浮力）．"
The hotel has suitably sized waterproof boxes so that pizzas can be delivered by divers to guests wllo order them for their evening meal．And after a meal，if you can't sleep because of the excitement of the experience，you don't have to count sheep．You'll fall asleep quicker if you count fish．
