Battling Siki was a Senegalese born French light heavyweight Boxer who was known to fight his way out of bars after refusing to pay the tab and to occasionally take his pet lion for a stroll down the Champs-Elyseés. 
He also won the medal of honor for bravery in WWI and was gunned down in Harlem at the age of 28.
 His former home in Saint Louis, Senegal is now Hotel Siki.
The two year restoration boasts custom built furniture and an incredible collection of wax prints made into pillows, chair cushions and lamps all made by the owner. We love it here.

your heart has low self esteem warsanshire: you think the best parts of you were spent on unrequited youth. i disagree. you believe all your sweetness was wasted on somebody who didn’t notice your existence. you’re all i see.  i circle your heart, hajj.  even your sadness is my favourite colour.  when i hear your name, i think ‘that’s my song’.

i’m not sad warsanshire: but the boys who are looking for the sad girls always find me. i’m not a girl anymore and i’m not sad anymore, if you want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ if you think i’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star, well the sky is vast and have you seen the sky in the morning? have you seen how it looks against the sun? i’ll swallow you whole.
