Beware the ‘Ah Pu Neh Neh’: Malaysian Indian men’s hilarious spin on racist bogeyman myths and mixed marriages The manager of the Motel Deseos , Diana Echeverry, is pictured in a room at the Motel in the framework of the COP16 summit in Cali , Colombia October 25, 2024. With traditional hotels bursting at the seams, motels came to the rescue for visitors to the Colombia n city of Cali during the UN COP16 summit.
Showing AFP around his room in the Motel Deseos , the delegate points to the big double bed, walk-in shower and an unusual feature: a ceiling mirror. Usually rented out for a few hours at a time, there are no wardrobes in the rooms. And the double-doored cubicle is for staff to pass drinks to guests seeking seclusion.
“So the setup is quite different,” he said. “I have never seen a hotel with each room having a parking yard,” each enclosed, with a private door leading straight into the room. “We have adapted our establishment a little in order to be able to host the guests of COP16 and foreigners,” Echeverry told AFP.
Cali Mayor Alejandro Eder told reporters this week the city’s hotels were “100 per cent” full, with Airbnbs, houses and apartments also rented out.
