"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

The Lafayette Hotel
If I were to describe the hotel in a single word it would be "funky". It has an air of faded glory that resonates with my minor motel fetish quite strongly. Am all checked in, unpacked, and will head out shortly to get something light for lunch, with a main dinner later. Or maybe the reverse, I haven't really decided yet.
