Jan 29th, 2019: Groundscraper Hotel
China is a mysterious place to we westerners. Very old, it went through many phases over the centuries.
Certainly smart people, I read they actually had movable type before Gutenberg, and their writing isn’t a few letters but hundreds of symbols. You can’t forget they were the couriers of one of mankind’s greatest gifts... gunpowder. Then Nixon, Steve Jobs, and the Waltons arranged to transfer most of our wealth to China, and they’ve been using it for many projects. They build lot’s of normal hotels and some of these showstoppers. Quote:

Shimao Wonderland Intercontinental Hotel
Bad enough, but not as bad as I was expecting: My version of Firefox didn't really like that website. They got along, but they didn't really like each other.

337 rooms, 127 parking spots, you can tell it's not a US hotel.

Ahh Shanghai. Stayed there for 3.5 months in 2005 while on business for my employer. Memories.
