This was another amazingly beautiful hotel. The decor was modern and ornate. The only inconvenience was the distance to the center of the city. The hotel was located near 3rd-ring of the city, and on a typically morning, it could easily take up to an hour to get to the center of the city (4 to 5 miles away). Granted the US dollar had been weak, the hotel was only around US$100 per night. There are still many parts of Asia where the US dollar can go a long way…
This was hung on the wall in my room – a “Ru-Yi”. It was intricately carved, supposedly used to scratch one’s back in the old days. =)
