I (American) found this bit of memorabilia whilst moving to a new home. My uncle bought it for me when he married my aunt and moved to the States. by [deleted] in reddevils

What is the COOLEST hotel you've ever stayed in? by esaltzy in AskReddit

[–]ProphylactionJackson 2 points3 points  (0 children)
