That's a place that I'd love to stay at, I'd spend all day and night in the lobby. What an experience it would be.

In Australia a lot of the resorts are set up similarly to that with an open area rather than a closed foyer. Generally to allow the air flow.

I noticed it was very similar in Bali too. Not so much in NZ though.

The American Way is to build a completely artificial structure in a hostile environment, totally enclosed and separate, then dare reality to fuck with it.

Well I should probably have said 'up north'. Down south they're mostly closed in because it's generally cooler climate. I suspect it might be the same in the US?

I also thought, if this happened 100 years ago, that elephant's head would be hanging above the bar.

Bartender: "We don't get many elephants around here."

Strange. Most elephants are among the more dangerous animals encountered in Africa.

clerk: I'm sorry sir. We do not check in couples without luggage.
elephant: What are you talking about. My wife and I both brought our trunks.

Zambia? Damn, we were hoping this was Tuscany.
