Lankham Hotel, where I've stayed nine nights, with 11 more paid for. My room is on the second floor. Each morning, I open a window at dawn just after 5AM to see and hear spontaneous life again. Across the street, an old lady would be sitting in front of her house next to her walker. Two doors from her is a place serving egg noodles with duck for $1.74. It opens at 7AM.

I type this sitting at that long table outside Lankham.
