Two more hotel/restaurants that carry the 3 monkeys in their logo have been added to this website. One is in Macau (near Hong Kong) and the other one in Nikko, Japan.

May 06, 2009 Chris Ewan: The Good Thief's Guide to Amsterdam

I have just finished reading this most enjoyable crime novel.

I made a special effort to buy the first English edition that shows the 3 monkeys on the cover jacket.
