Le Hotel

Le Hotel is a French Colonial compound oozing with old school early 20th century European chic. Think Palm trees and white verandahs, gazebos overlooking immaculate green that trims the edges of a water carpet. On the sides of the carpet are deck chairs and over sized descendants of the colonial masters themselves in their striped costumes and beer bellies.

I don't get it though. Why would you go back to an EX (you know she is not yours anymore, plus you know how messy it can get!) if you can get the same back home? You don't have to travel, pack or get a visa to get "colonial charm", your mother-in-law back home is "colonial charm".

Ah, but le secret of this sophisticated and complex behaviour is : It's cheaper.

DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG... (thank you SISQO) Plus you get to play big boy and gloat over your success in infusing "culture" into a civilization that could have been damned and lost in "uncivillized" political ideals. Sacre Bleu!

Rantings aside:

1. The weather is beautiful.. Sipping Japanese Green Tea on a French verandah in 22 degrees weather with beautiful Vietnamese women calling you "Madame" and eating pancakes is calming.

2. The hotel is beautiful... I love my room very retro French boudoir. Red roses. Black and white ceiling to floor panels. Wooden floors, deep bathtub, vanity mirrors.. NICE. Very Dita Von Tesse, burlesque..

Still miss home.
