The most amazing hotels in the world part 4
February 10, 2014
The final installment of the best (and strangest) hotels in the world. 19. Hotel-Restaurant Öschinensee, Switzerland This looks like a nice place, although a little cold and gloomy.

13. Hotel Le Sirenuse, Amalfi Coast, Italy Another cave, although at least this one is light and probably without bats. They do need to get a gardener in, though.

The saga of McDonald’s in India
October 6, 2013
Leaving the hotel, I was smacked in the face again by the smell, the heat, the people, the cows. I’d been assured the hotel was in a nice part of town, Paharganj, but it didn’t look nice at all. If this was the nice part of Delhi, I was going nowhere near the rough parts. […]
