Hi
It might be interesting to know that I was trying for a reservation in
Copenhagen to stay for two days. The hotels say yes at first and as soon as
I say that I am disabled, they withdraw the reservation. This kind of
stigmatisation is unheard of In Asia, though guilty of much more in other
areas
