Yay (!), another list, this time to hold all the little trivial and fluffy facts that don’t have a place elsewhere, but are fun to know anyway ;). It’s hardly filled at the moment, we’ll work on that.

Australia

First hotel with the new X’s setup (subgroups/teamleaders).

Brazil

With Sweden the only hotel with a temporary experimental (and very orange) homepage design;

Moderators in Brazil do not have the ‘MOD-’ prefix as usual, but have ‘MOD_’.

Canada

Shares (part of) staff with US hotel, and has lots of same campaigns.

China

In beta stage, Chinese hotel consisted of two hotels, one for Beijing, one for Shanghai (two languages), seperate hotel views, seperate furniture/rooms, but one account would work on both hotels;

The only hotel with localized staff and HC badges, in a directory seperated from the other hotels;

Hotel closed, August 2007, reasons unknown.

Denmark

The office in Copenhagen also serves as the office for Norwegian and Swedish hotel.

Finland

First hotel, and often the first to receive updates.

Was the first hotel to receive v9;

Replaced (fired) their mods with SOS’s, supposedly less repressive and said to be cheaper cause working from Tunesia, Northern Africa. Also said to be bots, and much complained about.

Germany

Best voted fansite worldwide, HabboTimes, is German.

Italy

Management is notorious for displaying unreleased furniture in rooms (gotta love it ;).

Japan

In many cases the last to receive updates;

But catalogue always well filled (lots of things that are seasonal/on occasion elsewhere);

Moderators in Japan have the prefix ‘MOD☆’;

The best alteration artist worldwide in our view, satoh-teki, is Japanese;

And last, something in Japanese culture that makes staff not add “Exchange” to catalog (while newer updates are there) ?
