That is pretty awesome. It looks like a very nice place. I agree with you that the glass bathroom is something that I would not be too fond of. I just don't think anyone needs to have that intimate of a relationship :). I stayed in a hostel once when I was in NYC. It was very interesting. I am not sure I would ever want to do it again, but I am glad to be able to say I had the experience of doing it once. I have a question about the counterfeit goods. Is the quality still decent on them or are they just crappy knock offs?
