Eric Wong, managing director of a capsule bed manufacturer, poses in a modified capsule bed inside a showroom in Hong Kong, Jan. 7. The beds, which are modified for the Hong Kong market, have adjustable ceilings, a larger air conditioner and a TV. They are aimed at university students and budget mainland Chinese travellers visiting the territory and will cost $450 a month or $30 a night, according to the manufacturer.

    We could sure use these in US airports that are often packed with holiday travelers stranded by snowstorms. Would be nice instead of waiting 2 or 3 days for another flight, to have a place to sleep, read and watch Tv, in a quiet area of the airport.
