It's the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill blacklisted at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada.
Burchill was 1 at the hotel on business and planning to 2 some friends in the area. They had asked him to 3 some pepperoni (辣香肠) from back east. So he 4 a suitcase full of pepperoni. As he was 5 that it would be too warm, he 6 it out on the table near an open window. He thought his pepperoni was 7 and well chilled (冷却) and he 8 .
That's when things went 9. "I remember walking down the long 10 and opening the door to my room to find an entire flock of seagulls," Burchill said in a recent letter of 11 to the 4-star hotel. "The seagulls immediately went 12 . They rushed to the window, 30 or 40 birds all trying to 13 at the same time, and pepperoni—everywhere. The curtains were falling down, the lamps were falling down, It was a real 14 .
Older and wiser now, Burchill chalked up the incident to youthful indiscretion (莽撞).
"I have 15 and I admit responsibility of my 16," he said in the letter. "I come to you, 17 , to apologize for the-damage I had 18 caused and to ask you to 19 my lifetime ban from the hotel."
His letter 20. Banned from the hotel since 2001.Burchill is now welcome to come back, the Fairmont said.
