As promised

So in one of my recent postings I said that Korean hotels deserve a posting all of their own. Believe me, Koreans put the ho in hotel (sorry couldn't resist, I had a compliment on my Seoul-o pun so I figure I'll see how far I can push the cheesy humour).


Anyhow, enough of that.

So in Oz they had hostels, here they have 'love hotels'. Lorne and David said that they are usually pretty cheap and very clean and easy for a night or two when travelling. While Lorne was posing as the guard he sent Mary Ann and I off to find a love hotel.

We went into four that were all booked up and pretty much all had the same feeling to it, if you live near Whitby, think of the old Dynasty (the hotel, not my car), so finally we came to one with an open room and we took it. I should also note here that we had the option to rent the room by the hour or the night. (classy!)

The room had all the amenities one could ask for, toothbrushes upon check in, half used bottles of shampoo and conditioner, a vending machine in the corner filled with beer, dried squid and, of course, sex toys. (if that doesn't say love hotel what does?)

Well thankfully Lorne and Mary Ann acted the way they did and I managed to escape my night in such a palace and Lorne assures me that that is one of the worst ones he has ever seen, but I dunno, between the barber shop poles and love hotels these Koreans sure have a hidden side to them!
