But in saying that, I did have five hours to kill in this place so by the end, I knew it back to front.
The floor plan is in the shape of an 8. The middle bit of each floor served as a floor reception. There are 5 levels and a rooftop. Level 1 is the main reception and pharmacy area. Level 2 comprises of three surgical theaters, an x-ray viewing center and a few consultation rooms. Level 3 and 4 are dozens of in-patient bedrooms for normal plebeians, small individual rooms with shared bathroom facilities. Level 5 has a giant presidential suite for a presumably extremely wealthy patient, around a handful of luxury suites for wealthy patients and a kitchen + dining hall.

I'll stop boring you with words and let you experience it for yourself.

general feel of this place summed up in this picture
almost feels like a school
looking down at the garden from 3rd floor
this garden is probably tidier than my own garden...
surprisingly sturdy staircase (floor reception in background)
the scene which broke my heart (it no longer looks like a surgical theater)
ether: used as an anesthetic - a few decades ago..

Last but not least, the place was strewn with mementos of a Japanese ruled era. The whole hospital is suspended in some sort of 70's Japanese themed atmosphere.
