That hugely colorful “temple” I saw on yesterday’s adventure? Turns out it’s a hotel! The Grand Hotel no less, according to one intrepid reader (an in-the-know co-worker). As a hotel, the building seems a bit less intimidating to visit than a temple. I’ll definitely go back (photo op city), if only for a meal. Certainly there’s even a world-class restaurant within…
Speaking of meals, another co-worker introduced me to a hip, happening cafe creatively named Cafe Cafe.

Just what I needed!
