I agree, and would add that LoS is a place that turns civilised convention on its head. If the public door that caved in when you tried to open it was anywhere in the West, others would be on the defensive, not you.
This is the type of door glass that usually has wire in it in my country. I am amazed that a hotel has standard float glass on whatever it is called which breaks with sharp shards. If a child had run into that door, quite possible, it could have been a bloody mess.
