Inside Hotel Bahalap. Quite elegant enough for me. What I really love is that there is a mosque close by and I hear the dawn prayers every morning between 4 and 5 am. Kind of like hearing monks sing Gregorian chants. A heavenly way to start the day and I find myself waking up for it. A feature of Palangkaraya is a Christian church with huge cross out front in the same block as a mosque. They are getting along. Wonderful!
