If I remember one thing from this hostel besides Alen and Tamilan, and the wonderful focus of these days, let it be the wonderful door latches. When opened, the latch of the door stays retracted, either by magnet or spring, and only when closed again does an attracting magnet pull the latch back out of the door and into place to hold it shut. This has the minor effect of making the doors look tidier, smoother, when open, but much more resonant with me is how quietly it lets the doors close. These, coupled with a softer closing (dampening) door frame would be a mute dream.

May my future home have such a set of doors, if doors it should have at all.
