room 1408...

after almost getting robbed in the streets of brussels, we found a hotel near the gare midi for the night...

quote (from the movie "room 1408" after stephen king...)

Mike Enslin: The room's gotta be filthy. I mean, the sheets haven't been changed in... what, eleven years?
Gerald Olin: No no no. We're very professional here. 1408 gets a light turn once a month. I supervise, the maids work in pairs. We treat the room as if it's a chamber filled with poison gas. We only stay 10 minutes and I insist the door remain open. But still.... A few years ago a young maid from El Salvador found herself locked in the bathroom. She was only there for a few moments, but when we pulled her out she was...
Mike Enslin: [sarcastically] She was dead?
Gerald Olin: No. Blind. She had taken a pair of scissors and gouged her eyes out. She was laughing hysterically.

unfortunately we forgot to preserve all the evil for future generations... what a shame! besides the "dirty red" ripped into the walls in 80 cm high letters the wallpaper was comin off everywhere. the bath room / toilett was a moldy dream in salmon... all that with a window towards a funpark with 130 dB glass shakin trance at closed windows...
