Jutting out of a cold, dank city fog, a massive triangular monolith erupts from the skyline. The city of boxy, concrete apartment blocks below can’t match up to the sheer size of this bizarrely shaped building, which reaches 1,083 feet into the sky. Despite its foreboding appearance, it’s actually a hotel that’s a little taller than France’s Eiffel Tower or New York’s Chrysler Building. With 3.9 million square feet of usable floor space and 3000 rooms, it’s big enough to rival some of the largest hotels in the world! It was even designed to include casinos and nightclubs, so you’d think it’d be bustling with life! But despite its shiny façade, this hotel has never welcomed a single guest, and has actually laid empty for almost 30 years! With all that information, can you guess where this incredibly creepy hotel is? Well, brace yourself, because I promise you’re not going to believe what I’m about to tell you.

Well, if you want to find out, grab your pickaxe, as we explore the story of Dashrath Manjhi, the most patient man in the world.
