To my surprise it seems that people living in these countries do not seem to be very sensitive for the effects of mold.Also, most people do not seem to understand what I mean when I report back at the reception for health problems in my room. It could be either that the local population has grown immune to the problem, or there is a general mood of ignorance that will blow at their face at one rainy day.

I am just now in Dublin at a business related conference. I had booked for a 'executive class' room that should have been good. I arrived during night so I could not check much around the room. But in the morning I knew there is a serious problem as I have to take a long walk outside to be able to breath properly again. I then approached the hotel reception to change the room.
The girl on the reception was very nice and helpfull and offered me another room in the same wing, even though I had a feeling she thought I was just another difficult problem with funny excuses. I went to check up that room and it was even worse that the one I spent last night in. There was no other rooms free, and this lead me to planning to leave the hotel. After quite a lot of discussion the receptionist agreed that I can have a look at another room, even though it is of lower standard and cheaper.
This lower class room turned out to be much better than the so-to-speak better room. Atleast the window panes or bathroom had no visible signs of moisture damage. The girl in the reception had really difficulties to get her head around that I wanted to downgrade to a lower class room. But in the end it all worked out just fine, this time.
