"The exterior is covered in gold-plated tiles, the interior is golden, and rooms feature real 24-karat gold-plated bathtubs, sinks and fixtures, door handles, and yes, toilets."

Pretty amazing. I should spend a night in that hotel and bring my aqua regia bottle (hydrochloric acid/nitric acid). I wonder if anybody would notice that the room would "weigh a bit less" after I checked out 😉

I like this quote:

 

The Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple is the richest temple in the world. Not only is the exterior of the Hindu shrine to Maha Vishnu completely covered in gold leaf, but there are also unbelievable treasures found inside. Only one of a total of six treasure vaults has been opened to date, with a total gold treasure estimated at $1 trillion. Trillion!
