Local guest house: Window above door

 

Beautiful room. But why is there a window above the door?!

One of the strangest building standards here, most notably in hotels, is the practice of placing a transparent window above the door. This could possibly be acceptable if not for the fact that none of the windows ever have a curtain or anything else to prevent the hallway light from coming in. Bright hallway lights or porch lights beam in and illuminate the room even with your interior light off; why in &#^@ sake is this design the standard for guesthouses in Tanzania?!

The most egregious case I've experienced
