We are now in Chang Hua, where Yen-Wen’s da jie (older older sister) lives. Her house isn’t big enough for all of us, so Lillia and I are staying in a motel just down the block. It didn’t look very promising when we pulled in late last night. It kind of looked like one of those self-storage places, with two rows of corrugated steel garage doors facing a wide driveway. But oh my, we had no idea what awaited us within. Our suite is the most aggressively ugly interior I have ever seen, but it is huge. It’s easily half the size of our house. The immense bathroom features a large shower stall, a giant Jacuzzi, and a regular-sized footed bathtub. All the toiletries are supplied, including condoms, which Lillia found on her bedside table. Maybe that explains the weird décor. Anyway, this hideous palace, after Da Jie’s aggressive bargaining, is costing us $63/night, including breakfast. Not bad.
The bedroom. Dig that couch.
The vast bathroom with the giant jetted tub. Notice it has its own flat screen TV, so Lillia can watch Sponge Bob in Chinese while soaking.
Our air-conditioned "patio".
Sign on footed tub saying that this is the one for taking milk baths!
