Jake,
It was “services of a bathologist”, not “pathologist”.
Found on the web from a comment on the Westin Beijing Chaoyang in China…
My Bathologists
Trying to make my way back to my room, I remember that a bathologist awaits. I have to make the difficult choice of which bath I want between a choice of 4 (complementary). The four choices are India, Orient, Mediterranean and Arabia. I choose Arabia which provides aromas of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, geranium, cumin and amyris (what’s that?). When booking my bath over the phone, I am asked if I want rose petals in the bath (rrrr disgusting). Mrs JohnSIN not being here today, we shall skip the rose petal and go for the real stuff.
30 minutes later, 2 pretty bathologists arrive in my room with what seems to be about 2 tons of material. Besides the bath foam, 1.5 tons of candles are spread in the bedroom and bathroom, including one on a small tray left on top of the heavenly bed (I see a fire hazard, am I the only one?). I am doing my emails when Mrs. Batho 1 comes and give me a “bathologist education letter” (I kid you not) as if she was tendering her resignation (she did it very nicely).
I am then asked to open my burden basket (a little pretty basket which happens to be scented) and take 3 deep breaths. I do not know exactly what is the penalty for non execution, so I abide by the Westin Policy, close my eyes and enjoy the scent of …something (very nice).
My bathologists then leave the room after telling me that they will be back in 35 minutes. It sounds like my mother telling me she will check if I have cleaned myself (I was then 7 years old). Unfortunately, I have ordered room service and tell them that I shall in fact call them when I am done with my bath and dinner. Of course, watching TV, in a scented bath, in a darken bathroom with 1.5 tons of candles burning in the room is a great way to relax. Heavenly I say.
