There's a Rat in my Hotel Room, What'm I Gonna Do ???

'The hotel said it came from the luggage': Aaron Aziz discovers rat in Cambodian room
July 25, 2022
published at 12:47 PMByKhoo Yi-Hang
Aaron Aziz found an uninvited guest in their Cambodian hotel room and went without sleep for a night.

'Squeaky clean'? The room may not be so clean, but it's certainly squeaky.
Singaporean actor Aaron Aziz recently revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post that he found a rat* in his hotel room in Cambodia.

[*CEO News says that this tiny rodent is probably a mouse].
The 46-year-old was there with his wife to aid their friend in the restoration of a mosque.

However, upon arrival at their room in an undisclosed hotel in Phnom Penh, they were met with a strange guest: a rat.
Aaron also shared a picture of the rodent stuck to a glue trap that was allegedly left there by hotel staff.

He said: "Good morning from Phnom Penh… we couldn't sleep well — I couldn't sleep, thinking about [the rat]."

He shared that even after changing the bedsheets, he couldn't find rest because he had previously contracted leptospirosis — a rare bacterial infection — in 2010 from a rat.

But despite the rattling experience, Aaron still wished the best for the trapped animal.

"I stated many times, 'Please let it go'," Aaron said. "The hotel said it was released. I hope that's true."

The hotel later provided Aaron and his wife with new rooms.

Imbecile :)
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Was walking on 19 south of 172 the other day and saw a rat 3-4 times that come out of a sewer entrance right in front of me. Also river bistro had one scurrying around under the outside tables when I had breakfast there a couple weeks ago around that same size.

This is probably about as interesting as that story.

Rats are a part of life. Subtropical environments and big cities are a natural place for them to breed in excess. I have seen so many rats in restaurants here. so I've gone cold about getting sick from it, or getting a disease from it. So now I just want to arrest the Food Safety Council back in the nanny states.
