Michael Jackson’s top ten Music Videos

Visit the new Xiamen hotels magichaijing blog address to memorise those gloden moments of our lives.

thriller11With the passing of the King of Pop comes the end of a musical videography that helped to define, well, the entire first decade of MTV. Michael Jackson turned out videos that rocked the collective worlds of pop, R&B, filmmaking and multimedia promotion.

And of the many M.J. clips that have burned prison-tattoo impressions into our video-loving souls, these are the Top 9 most kickass. Did we leave any off, or make a bad call?

1. "Billie Jean": Some messiahs walk on water, others light up the asphalt in a bow tie and high-waters. In a word: unstoppable.
billiejean-1
2. "Thriller": When the making-of video is just as iconic and popular as the video itself, you know you've got a holy frickin' grail on your hands.
thriller-1
3. "Beat It": Fight! Fight! Er, wait, no...Dance! Dance! Makes West Side Story look like My Dinner With Andre.
beatit-1
4. "Smooth Criminal": Nine minutes of nonsensical gangster melodrama, yet we gladly lost sleep wondering if Annie was really OK.

5. "Scream": Long before The Matrix, Mike and sister Janet were tripping on animé and digitally morphing to a deceptively killer dance jam.

6. "Bad": Remember the guy from the "Beat It" video who tried to break up the fight? He's finally had it, and he's got a posse. Scorsese directs!

7. "Black or White": Macaulay Culkin, Norm from Cheers, a U.N.-worthy array dancers and eye-popping morph effects prove Jacko to be a uniter, not a divider.

8. "You Rock My World": Any project that gets Marlon Brando, Chris Tucker, Michael Madsen and the King of You-Know-What in the same storyline is, like, instantly incredible.

9. "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough": Prehistoric special effects don't detract from the baddest and most infectious solo performance of his pre-Thriller career.

10. You Tell Us! What'd we miss? Paul McCartney collabos? "Man in the Mirror"? Does the Pepsi commercial count? Speak now, or forever hold your junk and scream, "HEE-hee!"



I say , we are the world!

Farewell , the king of the pop!

what is on the number one list of google xiamen hotel search

I am quite interested in searchign engine , so do some special test once in a while.

Recently have found one interesting thing in Google searching , as I put xiamen hotel search , the result is really chocking . A hotel named Xiamen Hotel was put at NO.1 , even this page's page rank is zero.
http://hotels.lonelyplanet.com/hotel/Xiamen-Xiamen-Hotel-P1000406134.html

I think the reasons are quite simply , lonelyplanet.com is very famous website; and the name of the hotel, Xiamen Hotel is just fit ; this page is simply ,few words , so the keywords percentage is really high. And no other special reasons I can find out.

In my memory , there is no hotel named Xiamen Hotel , most probably the real hotel name is Xiamen Guest House.

Ctrip partner with hotels to break the ''12 o'clock check-out" rules, 25 Xiamen Hotels enlisted

300 China Hotels and 25 Xiamen Hotels are in the campaign , is it a short term trick or a long term revolution ? We will see after the promotion , end of July.

Of course Millennuim Harbourview Hotel Xiamen is on the list , with other major Xiamen Hotels.

The Chinese web sites are making a hot topic recently on this issue, we can see less impact on internet overseas , here is the only thing I could find out on net:


For some time now, whether the hotel industry "12:00 Check-out" rules are reasonable has been a debate in the media.

Reporter was informed yesterday, China's leading travel services company-Ctrip, united with more than 300 well-known hotels, formally launched "late check-out" activities, breaking the long-standing "12 o'clock check-out" rules.

Senior director of hotel operations of Ctrip-Tang Xiao-feng said that Ctrip introduced a "late check-out" activities at the same in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Chongqing, Harbin, Dalian, Qingdao, Xian, Nanjing and so on, totally more than 300 leading hotels in more than 30 cities. Most of these hotels' Check-out time were postponed to 14:00, and some hotels' were delayed to 15:00, or even 16:00. The guests will not pay any fees. According to the old rules, if the guests had not yet checked out in 12 o'clock, hotels often will charge a half-day room rate.

The industry insiders said that the "late check-out" would greatly improve the feelings of the guests, reflecting a more humane, differentiated services, but also meet the practical needs of our guests. Ctrip launched the "late check-out" activities which indicated in the hotel industry "12-point check-out" rules were quietly changing.

Hotel CEOs: 'The Worst Is Behind Us' will it bring any hope to Xiamen hotels?

Everyone is talking about recovery , now the giants are foreseeing . Here is an Indsutry summit recently telling...

Will Xiamen Hotels business arises with hopes?



June 03, 2009 New York -
Hotel executives this week agreed that the "panic" throughout the industry has mellowed, and most believe a return to more prosperous times is closer than they previously assumed. Midtier and budget brands, which have enjoyed a degree of insulation during the ongoing recession, may be particularly well-positioned, though most executives from companies with luxury brands also expressed optimism here at New York University's International Hospitality Industry Investment Conference.

"We are actually hopeful and are starting to believe that there will be some signs of the year improving," said Choice Hotels International president and CEO Stephen Joyce. "The unemployment [rate] is still growing, but at a much lower rate than we have seen previously. People will begin to believe that this, too, will turn, and, as a result, we will begin to see a much stronger third and fourth quarter [and] into next year, hopefully getting out of this negative trend."

Hilton Hotels Corp. president and CEO Christopher Nassetta and Starwood Hotels & Resorts president and CEO Frits van Paasschen agreed, saying they expect to see positive movement. "The worst is behind us," said Nassetta. "We are on our way, and we see some great telltale signs. [We] will start to see some significant improvement over time, but it will be a slow, arduous process." Said van Paasschen, "There is a major pent-up demand effect between 'staycations' and canceled business meetings; there will be a rebound."

Gary Mendell, chairman and CEO of lodging investment firm HEI Hotels & Resorts, echoed that sentiment, saying that those companies canceling annual meetings this year will schedule those meetings for next year. "Even if there is a down market, you can't not have people getting together two years in a row," he said.

Not all hotel leaders speaking at the NYU event were optimistic. Though the U.S. market "may have hit bottom," Accor chairman and CEO Gilles Pelisson said his company is "a little bit more conservative looking at the U.S. We don't see a very high level of recovery." Pelisson also noted "very bad" economic conditions in Europe, including France and Germany, and said, "For the rest of the year, we all [will] have to manage through the recession as we see more layoffs, closings, etc." He spoke more optimistically about China and Brazil, saying those economies "have some muscle and can deliver the strongest growth."

Many hotel companies already had made tough decisions to survive the faltering economy, including layoffs and reductions in services and amenities. Though some now have a more positive outlook than during the previous several months, cost-cutting efforts remain in place and will continue even as the economy recovers, according to executives.

"We have been able to use this downturn as a catalyst to streamline our operations and to really remove overlaps by cutting back on resources and making ourselves more responsive," said van Paasschen. For example, Starwood has cut more than 30 percent of its sales team.

"We made tremendous strides and took a lot of unnecessary cost out of the system," added HEI's Mendell. "For our industry, it usually comes down to payroll and we are figuring out ways to do things more efficiently today."

Meanwhile, Joyce said that midtier and budget brands under the Choice umbrella are performing better than expected. He anticipated a "lingering effect, where people are going to have to justify--particularly on the business end--where they have to be staying. As a result, we are seeing a trade down into our markets, where folks are moving a segment down based on their business requirements or their personal travel desire of wanting to stay within their budgets."

Choice is increasing its sales force by scooping up the "incredible talent" that typically is unavailable, Joyce added, and welcoming newly converted properties into its system.

"We are doing really well in this environment because our brands have a value orientation to them," Joyce said, noting Choice's "strong" balance sheet. "There has been a big spike in conversions, and my company has been able to benefit from that significantly."

With its own portfolio of midtier and budget brands, Wyndham Hotels Group also has reported an increase in conversions. "Obviously, when times are good, there are many hotels that are just satisfied with what they have because they are doing OK," said CEO Eric Danziger. "When times are bad, they look for better. They look for hope--a St. Bernard to rescue them."

In the luxury segment, hoteliers are feeling the pinch as the very word luxury is viewed as "dirty," the CEOs agreed. But they also expected demand to eventually pick up again.

"We are a firm believer that over time luxury goods and products and services will be in demand again," said Hilton's Nassetta. "In fact, the trends in the next decade or two are quite good for people wanting luxury, customized products and services." Hilton is expanding its luxury presence worldwide by developing several new Waldorf-Astoria properties by year-end, he continued.

"Luxury will absolutely bounce back," Starwood's Van Paasschen agreed.
