Either Tom Hanks didn’t realize how big a deal the remembrance ceremonies for the 60th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge were going to be, or he just figured that since he’s Tom Hanks, he could wait until he felt like telling the Belgium tourist office he was coming, and let them do the work of finding him a place to stay.
Either way, the tourist office scrambled to find him a room, as all the hotels had been sold out for a year in advance.
I mean, maybe he didn’t know he could fit it into his schedule until now, but it just annoys me. The tourist office wouldn’t do all that work if I had called them up and said I wanted to come.
