Fish
The hotel that we're staying in has an unusual design feature; the toilet is enclosed in a glass cubicle, next to the glass shower cubicle, which is next to the bath, which is next to a large window to the bedroom. This means that your significant other can have a clear and unobstructed view of you on the toilet, whether she likes it or not.

Hotel after hotel...
I'm now down near the southernmost tip of Taiwan, in Kenting. The last two nights we stayed in the Big Eye Tuna hotel in Kaohsiung. This was a slightly strange hotel, as the facade of the building was made from foot-wide plastic scales, as if to confuse you into thinking it really was a tuna made flesh. Well, a mythical tuna-hotel made flesh. If the Taiwanese have myths about fish performing valuable infrastructural roles in the hospitality industry, that might well be the case.
