I stayed at Hong Kong’s first ‘capsule hotel’ to see what it’s like to live in micro — and the experience was a nightmare
source Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider SLEEEP is Hong Kong’s first capsule hotel, a concept invented in Japan in the late 1970s that aims to provide cheap, convenient “sleeping pods” for travelers who do not require the services of a full hotel. I stayed at SLEEEP on a recent business trip to Hong Kong. SLEEEP is ideally located and well-designed aesthetically, but its capsules get hot quickly and do not block out sound, making for a poor night of sleep. It sounds great on paper – a budget hotel completely designed around getting you the best night of sleep. That’s the idea behind SLEEEP, Hong Kong’s first capsule hotel. The reality, however, isn’t quite so relaxing. Located in Sheung Wan, a neighborhood on Hong Kong island near the main business district, SLEEEP caters to solo tourists, overworked Hong Kongers, and harried business travelers … [Read more...] about I stayed at Hong Kong’s first ‘capsule hotel’ to see what it’s like to live in micro — and the experience was a nightmare

Hong Kong fund says Toshiba chip unit worth more than $30 billion
TOKYO (Reuters) - A Hong Kong-based activist investment fund opposed to Toshiba Corp’s (6502.T) sale of its chip unit to a Bain Capital-led group said the deal should be renegotiated at a valuation of 3.3 trillion yen to 4.4 trillion yen ($30 billion-$41 billion). FILE PHOTO - The logo of Toshiba Corp. is seen at the company's facility in Kawasaki, Japan February 13, 2017. REUTERS/Issei Kato/File Photo Argyle Street Management said on Friday that the current deal, which values the unit at 2 trillion yen, was agreed upon when Toshiba was desperate for cash. Toshiba is no longer insolvent, and was free to terminate the deal without incurring any penalty because the sale had not closed by a March 31 deadline, it said. Toshiba should aim to list the unit if the Bain group will not agree to a higher price, it added.
