So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Let us call him "Matt". Apparently they're going to be honeymooning in Bora Bora after their wedding in 2009. Here are some pictures of where they intend to stay: "How cool is that!" I exclaimed to my sister, "You could look through the floor of your hut and see the fish!" My elder sister, in her wisdom, mused, "What if someone went snorkeling under your hut?" She made a face that such a snorkeler might make as he or she swam under your hut and looked up through your floor, and it was very hilarious and troubling, indeed. So perhaps a glass-floored cabana isn't the best place for honeymooning activities, not to mention the difficulty in going to fancy dinner parties when the only way out of the cabana is by wading through 5 feet of water. Your rolley-suitcases wouldn't seem to do you much good either. Perhaps they outfit the place with a small rowboat or gondola. Hopefully you'd get a singing gondolier in the bargain, because I dare say if they didn't I'd make my husband do it, and I don't really know how well he'd like that after the fourth day of singing. Not to mention he probably doesn't know that much Italian. That's only a guess though, as I haven't actually met him yet. I've also heard talk about some completely underwater hotel rooms (specifically in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, see: 'Hydropolis'). In some of these the bathtub is made of clear plexiglass so that it will feel as if you are bathing with the creatures of the sea. Now the question here is: At what point do you begin to feel uncomfortable- like, when do you start suspecting that instead of watching the fish, the FISH are watching YOU? You really want all them fish watching you with your body awkwardly pressed against the plexiglass bathtub? You wouldn't sit in your room, gazing starstruck at the passing schools of fish, but then awkwardly jam yourself into the closet to change, lest the fish with their wide, blank, unblinking eyes seem to be staring at you? I wonder how long an alien could charge you to stay in a plastic bubble in the middle of his alien starship before you realized that you were the one in the zoo, and not the other way around? What are the fish really up to??? Are they in league with THE ARABS??? Are they just a whole society of voyeurs, luring us to build hotels in their midst so as to get a proper look at us? Sure they always seem to be frowning, impassive, those fish, but you know they're smirking at us on the inside! If I lived near the underwater hotel in Dubai, I would perhaps build a pair of underwater binoculars... and charge a fee for a little look-see beneath the surface. And you can bet my customers would react with a face not unlike that of a sub-honeymoon-cabana-snorkeler. 12 Comments. OMG the water is so clear!! » renaye on 2007-07-31 11:34:45 Holy crap. That makes me want to build a hut and befriend a volley ball. » sphincterbutt on 2007-08-01 01:06:14 That place is pretty. I'd like to go there, but I don't have much reason. » ikimashokie on 2007-08-01 01:31:42 I hope no one I knew in high school is getting married because that would scare me. However, I do hope several of them catch pernicious, potentially-life-threatening venereal diseases. OMG, J/K!!!111 Not. » ranor on 2007-08-01 02:14:39 In other news... Luke, is that a camera in your pocket or are you just ha-- Oh. It is, is it? Damn. » ranor on 2007-08-01 02:17:21 Wow, amazing. I want to go there! » alexsedotcx on 2007-08-01 02:34:53 it looks beautiful there. and the water is so clear and clean. I'd feel a little weird staying in one, though, esp if I knew that people were allowed to go snorkeling under the huts. » LostSoul13 on 2007-08-01 05:26:54 Lol, yeah. It seems like it would be more fun to be the fish *snicker*. Then again, they have an unfair advantage: they don't care if they're naked. » jinyu on 2007-08-01 10:46:52 ♥ WOW! I want to go there too! Do you see divers in the floor too?! » ShaShaBoo on 2007-08-02 12:03:52 i wish i could go to bora bora! » sweetpeach on 2007-08-02 12:14:59 Bora Bora is sooo gorgeous! » lyndeep on 2007-08-03 08:19:15 that looks pretty much amazing. and i am slightly jealous. and thanks. you've now made fish creepy. now what shall I do? » Helena on 2007-08-05 12:05:48
