lost or what?

The hilarious hotel room

From Incheon to Daegu on KTX

Welcome to Daegu.
To get to Daegu was a number of trains, of which I took a number of photos, many of which will look the same, so I will explain that briefly in boring detail in each photo.
I will however talk about the American couple behind me on the train.
They were probably in their late 50's, and reading a magazine together, loudly. Like perhaps he was hard of hearing.
Anyway, I was then treated to a 117 minute description (the exact time it takes to go from Seoul to Daegu) of how the lady needs to take a hair straightener and a hair curler with her everywhere.
She described to her husband in great detail that whilst her hair is naturally curly, its the wrong kind of curly, so to get the right kind of curls, every morning she first has to straighten it completely, then curl it.
This caused quite a bit of debate, the husband thought perhaps the straightener wasnt needed, as the curler would remove the wrong curlation and apply the new curlation (word he used) when it was used.
He offered up to his wife that he was an engineer, and he would know more about how these darn things work than she would. To which she responded, but you dont know about hair, cause you have none.
It would seem that in however many years of marriage that the guy didnt know what she got up to each morning, until they shared a hotel room, and now hes hoping for death.

Now onto my hotel room!
This is the most hilarious hotel room I have ever stayed in.
It has multiple kinds of wallpaper, a full PC with monitor, a VHS VCR, DVD player, blur ray player, 2 set top boxes, a water dispenser, an air purifier, a giant floor fan, computer speakers glued to the wall, no window, and various bottles of lotion and aftershave strategically placed around the room.
Checking in was hilarious, first I had to find the actual check in floor, theres no English, eventually I found a hole in the wall, and a very old lady through the hole.
I think she may have been filling in, as she seemed very panicked that I wanted to check in, absolutely no English, not even numbers.
I tried talking to her in Chinese, which she recognised as Chinese, but that seemed to anger her, perhaps she remembers the war.
She then tried to call various people on the phone, an old rotary dial phone, and after 9 tries, got someone on the line.
The thing is, I saw my reservation on a clipboard, with my name and details, in Korean, and I pointed at it through the hole, but she wanted to make sure I guess.
Eventually we came to an agreement that I could check in, she then chases me to the lift with bottles of water. I have no idea how she got out of her cage behind the hole as I saw no door!
So I find my room, turn on the tv and am greeted by Korean porn. About 100 channels of it.
It would seem the set top box I have gets just about every tv channel in the world, I still didnt scroll through them all but have found some news in English to keep me company.
I expect to get door knocked in this hotel at some point, and since the old lady at reception has no English, I doubt I can go tell her I dont want company.
They will have to knock loud though! My room has multiple doors to gain entry, each with chains, and the fridge in here sounds like a 2 stroke lawn mower.

Dont think for a moment I dont appreciate the situation, I love it. All for just $40 a night.
