    Absolutely magical how while walking around the buffet he special orders an omelet with one hostess and when he sits down the host at his table already knows what he ordered, seconds later!! The restaurant is totally packed and the hosts aren't writing anything down, but they manage this with grace and smiles!
    I just finished watching a video about two guys who went to the most luxurious hotel in the whole of a certain country, went to that hotel's restaurant, were the only guests there, were given a menu where most of the items listed weren't available and when they finally found something on the menu the hotel actually had, it took an hour and a half to arrive. The contrast blew me away 😳

The place was a mix of modern urban with a touch of classic/ancient buildings, yet sorrounded by rural area with some filled with trees(almost like a small town in the mountains). In my dream the rural parts were greatly flooded by brown water. At that time i woke up. The dream was so clear and feels so real.
