The free Wi-Fi was so slow I could use it as a meditation exercise. The housekeeping was conveniently forgetful, so I got to enjoy my own little scavenger hunt every day. The taxi service was a thrilling roller coaster ride, just without the safety measures.
Oh, how I missed having a hot shower! The hotel's water basin for shaving was the perfect temperature for growing ice cubes, but unfortunately not so great for shaving.
