how to say no in a nice way 🥰
Telling someone “no” is not rude, it’s called setting a boundary!! and you can set boundaries in a polite way! it doesn’t have to be “rude” and if someone doesn’t understand or takes it the wrong way, that’s on them. Being a people pleaser is rude to yourself!! You are not putting yourself

This is the ninehours capsule hotel in Tokyo and it was a nice experience. When I checked in, I went straight to the lockers to put away my stuff ( which was a backpack and a carry on) the lockers are small so if you have a lot of luggage I wouldn't recommend taking all of them to the hotel.
