The other day a hotel staffer asked to take my picture. I tried to say no, but they wanted it because I'm here an 'extended stay' guest and they wanted the photo so that the entire staff could know me by face and name. A bit startling. It is a very businessy hotel and reminds me of the hotel we used to stay at in Bangkok, when I was little. Too many patterns in the lobby and lots of overly shiny tropical woods. And marble. And chandeliers. The lobby bar seems to be a hub of business/microfinance/expat activity. Above is my room, overlooking a nice-looking slice of the otherwise fairly putrid lake.
I'm ready for the end of my extended stay.
