Today, I decided to take a solo trip to one of the local malls here in Seoul. This way, I had a chance to take some pictures and see some of the sights without slowing anyone else down every time I whipped out the camera.
The Hotel Amigos
The above picture is our current hotel, and shows the fairly cramped quarters of our actual room. Considering how rarely we spend any time there, it’s not _that_ bad. In fact, I’m even dropping its Stankometer score down to an 8. They actually came in and cleaned the room while we were gone yesterday, though that might be because they thought we were checking out. We’ll see if the rating stays that low tomorrow when we return.
Not exactly high-tech
The TV, water dispenser, air filter and mini-fridge are functional as far as we can tell. The air conditioner however, is not.
Three-Mode Shower
Body sprayers, hand sprayer, and overhead fixed sprayer. Yep, that’s a shower. Note the shelving…
Toothbrushes... And Toothpaste
Nope. Still not touching them.
Hotel Amigos
This is the outside of our hotel this morning when I left for my trip to the mall. Not pictured: The curtains hanging over the entrances for cars. Also not pictured: Desperation and sweat.
Victim?
I really have no idea what happened to this stuffed… bear-thing which was lying directly across the alley from the entrance to Hotel Amigos. Considering where the tear is, I really don’t think I want to know. What I do know? I feel cold inside.

Interesting photos Josh. Anxious for your take on the mall and your trip to and from. What a tiny hotel room. I was surprised at twin beds in your “sex hotel”.
Apparently comfort is not the #1 issue!!
We are off to Bangor today. Alan has a meeting, the Honda gets an oil change, and we are selecting and purchasing the trim moldings for the small bedroom in the ell. Then it’s back home in time to feed C & R.
Yes, forgot to mention the new Sonata is very nice.
Love to you and James. Be safe.
