From my article in progress:

After spending a week at the Davika Hotel, in a windowless room costing $20 a night, a bit too much for my constitution, I’m now contentedly tucked into the alarmingly-named Mixok.

For just $11 daily, I might just linger here until death do us part, though this wheezing rest house is likely to collapse before I do, in the middle of the night, under an impossibly huge moon. A final monsoon will wash us all away.
