sydneysandiego confirmed she had contacted their head office and CC'd their corporate and European HQ.

It's easy to say in hindsight "you should have done this, you should have done that" but more difficult when it's happening to you and you're in an unfamiliar surrounding and country. There is sometimes a very fine line between flirting and harassment.

I thought sydneysandiego acted intelligently in dealing with the creep at the time (didn't open her room door when he followed her there, pretended her "husband" was in the room, made it very clear to him she did not welcome his attentions).

Bretteee, you say you're happy you're not pretty, as if you think you will be protected from harassment by being plain/homely. Well I have news for you, harassment/abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of age, sex, race, looks etc so don't get comfortable thinking it'll never happen to you.

In any case, how can you tell from what sydneysandiego wrote what she looks like?
