It still dosn't make sense to me. You go to a hotel... tell them you want to check in... they will check you in temporarely and you are not allowed to go to the room yet? You need to go to the Apoo first? He will sign a paper that you are allowed to check in at a hotel? Then you go back to the hotel and show them the paper that you are allowed to stay at the hotel and then they check you in?
Totally nonsense I don't believe it will happen anywhere in the world
