Jaw-Dropping Kaws & 100 Screen: Your Dream Apartment Awaits!
Jaw-Dropping Kaws & 100 Screen: My Brain Just Exploded (And That's a GOOD Thing!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's hotel review. I've just emerged, blinking and slightly traumatized (in a good way!), from Jaw-Dropping Kaws & 100 Screen: Your Dream Apartment Awaits!, and honestly? My brain feels like it's been through a KAWS art installation and then a full-blown spa day.
Let's get one thing straight: this place is insane. In the best possible way. Forget cookie-cutter hotels; this is a vibrant, pulsating organism of art, luxury, and, honestly, a bit of glorious chaos.
First Impressions – The "WHOA" Factor:
Forget "check-in." It's "WHOA, what IS this place?!" You're immediately bombarded (in a fantastic way) with visual stimuli. KAWS prints EVERYWHERE. Seriously, I think I saw a KAWS piece in the elevator. Then you're hit by the sheer scale. These aren't just rooms; they're apartments. And not just any apartments, mind you. These are apartments where you could happily spend a month lost in a world of art, comfort, and… well, let's get into the details, shall we?
(And note: I was initially worried about accessibility, as I have a friend with mobility issues. So happy to report the Elevator is a GODSEND, and they definitely have Facilities for disabled guests and Wheelchair accessible areas. Massive brownie points from me!)
The Nitty Gritty: The Room Itself (Prepare to Gawk)
My room? Pure indulgence. I mean, Air conditioning that could probably chill the Arctic, a Blackout curtains that banished even the faintest sliver of guilt about sleeping in late, a Seating area practically begging me to curl up with a book (or, you know, binge-watch Netflix…and I totally did), and a Bathroom that was larger than my first apartment.
Let's talk about the details shall we?

Seriously, I kept finding new little luxuries. A Coffee/tea maker, extra long beds, fresh Linens, an In-room safe box for my… valuable imaginary treasures… the Safety/security feature made me feel safe. I did so many things, too many other places.

What's not perfect
I have to be real here… Perfection doesn't exist, right? So, I'm going to drop a few minor things. The restaurant service could be a tad faster at times. And, maybe the check-in process took a minute? I'M NITPICKING.
The Verdict: Book It. Seriously, BOOK IT.

Saigon Luxury: 2BR RiverGate Oasis w/ Pool & Gym!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your grandma's itinerary. We're talking China, full floor window, KAWS, 100-inch screen kinda China. And let's be honest, my planning style? More "organized chaos" than "meticulous execution." This is going to be a ride.
Day 1: Shanghai - The Great Wall… of Wifi Passwords
- Morning (7:00 AM): Wake up in a jet-lagged haze. Shanghai Pudong Airport. Real talk? Airports are the world's worst. Like, why are we designed to spend so much time in purgatory? Found my luggage (miracle!). Smelled something vaguely of… delicious dumplings. Vow to locate these dumplings immediately.
- (8:30 AM): Taxi into the city. Holy. Smokes. Shanghai's a sensory overload in the best possible way. Skyscrapers that pierce the clouds, neon signs flashing, scooters zipping past… Reminds me of that time I tried to parallel park in Rome. Let's just say I needed some time to decompress.
- (10:00 AM): Hotel check-in. Found a place that, blessedly, actually has full floor-to-ceiling windows. Immediately start taking photos. Every single angle. This is because I'm obsessed with how the light hits in the window. KAWS figure on the desk (I actually squealed. A little). 100-inch screen? YES.
- (11:00 AM): The Wifi struggle is REAL. 10 minutes trying to find a network, and then another 15 minutes trying to get a password that works. Then I find the "English" version… It's not. It's like, Mandarin translated to… caveman English? Finally, success. Sort of.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Dumpling quest. The delicious smell! Followed my nose (and Google Maps, which occasionally led me into dead ends). Eventually, triumph! Found a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place with the BEST soup dumplings. Burnt my tongue. Twice. Worth it.
- (2:00 PM): Stroll through the Bund. Wow. Just… wow. The architecture is mind-blowing. Felt like I was walking through a movie set. Tourist trap? Probably. Did I care? Nope. Pictures, pictures, pictures.
- (4:00 PM): Wandered into a random art gallery. KAWS. I'm pretty sure it was a KAWS exhibit. Got lost in the art. Realized that art really just wants you in the moment to forget about everyday life, and sometimes, for more than just a few minutes.
- (6:00 PM): Dinner in a modern Chinese restaurant. Menu was… interesting. Took a leap of faith and ordered a spicy noodle dish that almost blew my head off. Fantastic.
- (8:00 PM): Back at the hotel, staring at that glorious screen. Ordered a movie. The subtitles were… creatively translated. Spent a lot of time laughing at the (incorrect) dialogue.
Day 2: Shanghai - More Madness, More Noodles, More Stuff That Actually Matters…
- Morning (8:00 AM): Slept in (jet lag's still kicking). Coffee. Strong coffee. Hotel breakfast buffet. The usual suspects, then something I couldn't identify. Ate it anyway.
- (9:30 AM): Headed out to a local park. Watched a group of elderly folks doing tai chi. Mesmerizing. Felt a sudden urge to… learn tai chi? Maybe.
- (11:00 AM): Found a small, bustling market. So many smells, so many sights, so many people… I made a stupid mistake and got separated from my friend, and thought I'd never see them again (dramatic, I know). Panic. Then, found them.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch: Sichuan cuisine! Found a place that smelled promising. Ordered the mapo tofu (it has to be something, even if you don't know what it is). So amazing.
- (2:30 PM): The Yu Garden. Beautiful and crowded. Got a bit overwhelmed. Briefly considered hiding in a teahouse forever.
- (4:00 PM): Shopping! Tried to haggle. Failed miserably. Still bought a souvenir.
- (6:00 PM): Back at the hotel. The KAWS figure is starting to feel like a friend. This is when I realize how much I'm enjoying being alone with my thoughts, and how, in the end, it's really important to be with yourself.
- (7:30 PM): On the 100-inch screen, watched a documentary about the beauty of Japan.
- (9:00 PM): Thought about getting takeout, but remembered there are more dumplings to find, so…
Day 3: Shanghai - Art, and Food, and More Art, and a Realization
- Morning (9:00 AM): Woke up. Knew where to look for coffee.
- (10:00 AM): Found a neighborhood cafe. Delicious coffee, great vibe. Needed that.
- (11:00 AM): Museum. The Shanghai Museum. Incredible. The ancient art and artifacts were breathtaking. Got lost in the history. Felt completely insignificant and totally connected to something bigger than myself.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): The most amazing lunch… found by accident. Just the best noodles.
- (2:30 PM): Back to the full-floor window. Stared at it. (Still obsessed). Realized I'm going to miss this view.
- (4:00 PM): Visited a local art studio. Met an artist. Talked to them about their work (I asked questions even if I didn't understand much). Found out that the KAWS art is actually something.
- (6:00 PM): Dinner at a fancy restaurant. Fine dining is nice. But… I'd trade it all for another bowl of those noodles.
- (8:00 PM): Movie night on the screen. Realized I don't want to leave.
- (9:00 PM): Contemplated buying a KAWS figure. Probably will.
Final Thoughts:
This trip? Chaotic. Imperfect. Incredibly rewarding. I learned that it's okay to get lost, both literally and metaphorically. I realized that the things that seem superficial – the big screen, the fancy hotel – provide a sort of canvas for the real stuff. The food, the art, the people, the moments of quiet reflection… that's what makes a trip, and life, truly amazing. And those dumplings? Undeniably life-changing. Now, where's my passport? I'm thinking… Beijing next? Maybe. Depends on the dumplings.

Jaw-Dropping Kaws & 100 Screen: Your Dream Apartment Awaits! (Okay, Maybe) - FAQs That Are Probably More Honest Than the Brochure
So, About Those Kaws... Are They *Actually* Included? Because I'm Already Planning My Instagram Feed.
Okay, let's rip the band-aid off: No. The Kaws are NOT included. I know. I had the same eye-widening, heart-stopping, credit-card-trembling moment when I saw the photos. My exact (and slightly frantic) thought process: "Wait… Kaws? *MY* Kaws? Oh God, please let this be real! I'll… I'll sell my grandmother's china!" Then, reality: they're *decor*. It's like, they use the Kaws as a carrot and then… snip! You get just the *idea* of cool. Honestly, a bit of a bait-and-switch, if you ask me. Consider saving up to buy one after moving in. Or, you know, settle for a cool poster. Gotta keep things in perspective. My perspective, currently, involves ramen.
The 100-inch Screen - Is It *Actually* A Good TV? Because I'm a Couch Potato of Olympic Proportions.
Alright, the 100-inch beast. Yeah, it's big. Like, *really* big. Like, "are you sure you can afford the electricity bill for this thing?" big. And honestly? I haven't seen it in person yet (still trying to scrape together first month's rent!), but, based on the *other* units in the building, it's probably… fine. Probably not the top-of-the-line, OLED-glowing, mind-blowing experience of your dreams. More like a solid, reliable… rectangle. Expect some reflections, maybe a slightly wonky viewing angle, and possibly… (and this is a fear I'm carrying around like a particularly grumpy chihuahua) – a broken remote. But hey, think of the potential for epic movie nights! Just… bring your own popcorn. And maybe a pair of binoculars, just in case.
I've Seen the Gym Pics. Is it *Actually* Used, Or Just a Showpiece For Marketing? Because I Like the Idea of a Gym, But I Also Like Pizza.
Okay, let's be brutally honest: the gym? Probably underutilized. Look, I'm *trying* to be optimistic. I'm picturing myself, regularly grunting and sweating, sculpted like a Greek god. But let's be real. The siren call of the couch, the 100-inch screen, and the convenience of delivery apps… it’s a powerful force. My guess? You'll see the same three yoga-pants-clad heroes, a couple of lonely treadmills, and a dust-covered weight rack. Don't get me wrong, it's there if you *really* commit. But if you're anything like me, your biggest workout will be the trek from the fridge to the sofa. And that’s a workout of *epic* proportions, let me tell you.
What's the Deal With the 'Luxury Amenities' - Are They *Actually* luxurious, Or Just... Okay?
Luxury amenities. Ah, the buzzword. Probably the most *loaded* concept of the whole shebang. Depends on your definition of luxury. Pool? Probably chlorine-y. Hot tub? Likely crowded with people who somehow convinced themselves they *deserve* to be in a hot tub. Rooftop deck? Could be amazing! Could also be wind tunnel. Concierge? Might be amazing at getting you a pizza. Might also mistake you for the cleaning person. I'm leaning towards "okay." I'm thinking they are functional, but not necessarily a decadent experience. My gut feeling? It's all about managing expectations. Think less "resort," more "slightly-elevated basic." But hey, maybe there's a secret champagne fountain I haven't heard about yet. Fingers crossed!
How's the Noise? Because I Need My Zzz's. And the Idea of Non-Stop Partying Makes Me Want to Move to a Cave.
Okay, noise. That's a big one. Living in a building with a "Jaw-Dropping Kaws" and a "100-inch Screen" screams… potential for partying. I spent a night in one of the units – a *very* late night – to see. One of the *other* units. The noise was... well, it depended on the night. Some nights were quiet, but other nights were filled with laughter, music, and the all-too-familiar sound of someone trying to assemble IKEA furniture at 3 AM. It's a gamble, really. Management claims soundproofing. We'll see. Definitely invest in some earplugs. And possibly a sturdy noise-canceling strategy.
Parking - Is It a Nightmare? Because Parallel Parking Gives Me Anxiety.
Parking, the bane of modern existence. I *believe* there’s parking. I *hope* there's parking. I haven’t actually seen the parking. Based on the building's location? Prepare for potential chaos. Expect tight spaces, a possible lack of spots, and the constant feeling of being judged by the cars around you. My advice? Public transport, Lyft, Uber, or possibly... learn to parallel park. (I'm working on it. Seriously. It's a process.) Or, if you have the option, try to befriend the parking attendant. Bribery is generally frowned upon, but a friendly chat goes a long way. Think of it as a social experiment with your car as the subject.
What's the Building Management *Actually* Like? Are They Responsive, Or Will I Have to Beg for Every Repair?
Building management. This is the million-dollar (well, maybe a thousand-dollar rent) question. I've only had email contact so far. They *seem* responsive. But responsiveness doesn’t equal repair efficiency. Are they the kind of people who swoop in the moment your toilet overflows? Or are they the kind of people who tell you to "just deal with it"? Only time will tell. My strategy: be polite, be persistent, and document everything. Take pictures of any issues. Keep a detailed paper trail. And, perhaps most importantly, develop a strong relationship with your super. They're the unsung heroes of apartment living. Pray they're good ones. Seriously. Pray.
The Location - Is it Actually Convenient, Or Just Close to a Bunch of Fancy Coffee Shops I Can't Afford?
Location, location, location. It's one of the things that really sold me, and what will make or break me.Stay Scouter
