Using the Phone

So John has decided he is not going to use our hotel phone any more! This morning he tried to call our travel companions in the next room to see if they were ready to go to breakfast. He pushed a "room" button that he thought he needed to push to connect from one room to another. A Chinese voice answered on the other end, and John just said, "Sorry, wrong number." Thirty seconds later (soon enough that I did not even know that he had made a phone call) three people showed up at our door! They did not speak English, and I don't speak Chinese, so much confusion occurred (especially since I did not know that John had even made a phone call!) We finally sorted it all out, but poor John decided that he was not touching the phone again!!
