I too thought it was a floating hotel.
the concept of the hotel is as ridicilous as this headline. I assume -and for the sake of the owner and operator's sake I hope I'm right - that I wont go to bed in Montreal and wak up in Chihuahua!

Reading this post reminds me of something that I have always used to describe Japan. It is a land of extremes. Yes stereotypes, but on the extreme poles. usually a country would have one type of stereotypes, and for the benefit of not getting bombarded for a silly comment, I shall leave out the typing of these stereotypes since they are usually derogatory.
A land of extremes, Japan is where you would find the most cringe-worthy people walking among the most polite people in the world. You'd also find extremely stupid materialistic girls who shop in the same places are practical smart women. It is a land of neon signs, but full of tradition spanning centuries, even millenia. Then you have the image of a hip, electronic world, but also has been known for the record breaking amount of citizens celebrating their centenary.
Schizo? Hypocritic? No true self image? perhaps.
I love Japan for what it is, and I prefer to call it a Land of (cool) extremes
