Surprised.

I'm in the port city of Ningbo, of which there will be much more later.

I couldn't help but notice that the Western fascination with taglines seems to catching on. My free map of Ningbo contains an ad for the Nanyuan Inn with the tagline...

Economic. Diaphanous. Surprised.

Fantastic, eh. I almost wish I'd come up with it.

was it really 'diapanous' rather than 'diaphanous'?

describes a substance, especially cloth, which is so delicate and thin that you can see through it:

It was diaphanous.

I didn't actually see the hotel to check it's opacity.
