The Elegant Guest House in St Petersburg

Today, I moved to another hotel, which seems a lot more accommodating. The charges are the same with my former lodge. But this one offers more luxurious rooms, so I picked it! The size and the facade of the hotel even reminded me of a homey Spanish house.

After a snack, I lugged in my large bags, checked the condition of my room, and dumped all my accessories on the bed. I needed to call home, so I tried to find a spare change for the payphone. But when I found none, I decided to choose a phone card instead in a local dealer located just beside the hotels washroom. It was then that I finally noticed the wide washrooms, so large that it can even accomodate 15 more customers. I was very impressed and amused with the spaciousness of the rooms. So after a quick phone call, I decided to go inside and check out the facilities. The first thing I've noticed, aside from the royal designs, are the toilet papers with Finding Nemo images all over it. I wonder how a pop culture character, like the bright orange Nemo, had swum its way into this foreign part of the world; imagine, Disney even sent Nemo across the globe just to invade the Russian toilet paper?! Truly, Disney, the international network chain, is more compelling than I have imagined.

I had no time to waste, so I strolled around some more to muse over the amazing sceneries in the hotel. Now that I'm very satisfied with my choice, the idea of a doze off soon became very tempting.
