This is the Most Beautiful Place in the World
Summary
A subway rider shares an unexpectedly passionate love for Marriott Hotel basement pools, calling them "the most peaceful and beautiful place in the world." He's visited about 30 of them while on tour and prefers them to any boutique hotel. The atmosphere is what gets him: church-like reverb mixed with a bad smell, creating something between a monastery and a bathhouse. He describes screaming, piss everywhere, bubble beards. Kareem learns the devotion runs deep. The guy's had intercourse in one of these highly chlorinated pools. No fear whatsoever.
