I spent the night before my wedding at the Nantou Hotel. Tradition goes that the groom has to arrive at the bride’s family’s house and pick up the bride. Since I live on the third floor of that house that meant I had to be away for a night. Although the room looked very clean when I walked in, it really showed its age after closer inspection. Perhaps most noticible in the single-bed windowless room I stayed in was the unusual odor that permeated the air after I took a shower [I'm quite sure I wasn't the source of that smell]. The reception on the television wasn’t too great on any channels that may have been worth watching, so like any other hotel I visit I began rummaging through all the written material in the room. Before long, I came across the laundry service sheet I posted above. I got a kick out of it, but that might be only because I was tired and lonely.

H.K. shirts = Hong Kong shirts??
that’s my theory.
i’ve heard of Hong Kong foot but not Hong Kong shits!
Must happen when you eat too much Dim Sum… still that’s pretty pricey for Hong Kong shits when there are people down the street practically giving them away.
I was unaware of this custom – however I too did this myself – with family staying in the same inn. About two years ago I was married here – on this island – Taiwan – it was a great event that seemed rule itself, smoke – a magically force that tempts gravity – and so it be – wed and ready…
Nathan – I had to be told each step as we went along, there were also times where the people telling me would argue amongst themselves over the order or details.
