QUEBEC CANADA Do you like very cold weather Then maybe you would like to visit the Ice Hotel in Quebec an extraordinary hotel made of snow and ice The rooms and all the furniture in them are ice You sleep on an ice bed in warm blankets of course and sit in an ice armchair Even the flowers and newspapers in the room are frozen Only the bathroom has heat You can watch a movie in the frozen theater or if you are thirsty have a warm drink at the ice cafe and listen to a band Sang hee Ha recently visited the hotel from Seoul Korea I have always seen this in my dreams she said but the real thing is unbelievable
The hotel is only open for one season each year Each winter about 35 builders work for six weeks to put up wood and metal walls Then they cover everything with snow and water which quickly harden to ice In spring this ice palace slowly disappears until nothing remains but a small lake
