I always wish the hotels were like they are in movies and TV shows, where if you're in Paris, right outside your window is the Eiffel Tower. In Egypt, the pyramids are right there.

Time You Ignorance Lie Listening Big Down Every Seconds TV Follow Propaganda Absurdity Feel Stuff Like Because Nonsense Lot Any Stop Taught Middle Want Upside Upside Down After Swamp Them Turning Hard Trap Hard Time Two Speech
