... up some chips.  We all settle into bed, snug as four bugs in a rug, or snug as four teachers in a cheap love motel.  I make an attempt at a wake up call and can't figure out Margaret's watch to set the alarm and neither can she ...

... on my own, taking the subway and going to the various shopping districts.  The subway is clean, well maintained, efficient and cheap.  I love it.  However if I stand still looking at a map for more than 10 seconds, someone comes up and ...

... I would say hi. I just reread the last email I sent and it looks like I was in Daejeon. So in Daejeon I found a pretty cheap motel (it was cheap for a good reason) and someone had told me that thursday was going to be the end of rainy season so I had two ...

... anywhere near Jeonju were sold out until at least 11pm!!! Very tired from two early mornings and late nights, we decided to crash in a cheap motel near the bus station, have some chicken and beer and get an early night before heading off on the 7:30am bus ...

... entry that we moved. We're in another motel in the same Insadong area of the city but it's sadly not a so-called 'Love Motel'. Nope, it's a more mainstream, 'your-parents-would-rather-you-stayed-here' sort of place, one that doesn't give us access to ...

... me to an exit to take that will lead me to them, PLEEEEEEEASE holla! ;)  I usually stay by Nambu Bus Terminal, in Plum Motel (take Exit 5, and U-turn out of the exit. Turn left by Lotteria, the left again at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, then your first ...

... as fuck and crazy disoriented, I was just relieved they didn't lose my luggage so I figure fuck it lemme just get a cab to Seoul find a motel and figure everything out in the morning. A cab driver comes up to me asks me where I'm going. I tell him Seoul ...

... crew for the evening, and the night was quite entertaining and quite late... while in busan, i checked into a love motel, which is basically a cheap hotel for men to go to when they cheat on their wives...or for foreigners who are looking for sweetass ...

... this it was only one more movie to Seoul... there I managed to find my way to Insa-dong before collapsing in a cheap motel. Then next morning I constructed an intricate, massive lie to cover my Pharmacy test for the University of Saskatchewan in ...

A taste of independence: On the 14th (Monday), I hopped onto the seoul transit system myself and trekked from hwakok dong to yongsan station ALL BY MYSELF! it was so amazing! The people are kind of nuts.... and koreans, like I said earlier like to ...

... Then, I tried to get in a cab and they kept passing me up and shaking their head no.  Being out of Seoul, I thought perhaps I didn't know "Gangwondo Taxi Protocol."  Anyway, I figured they were only picking up groups of people, not ...

... into the 7-11 with the Lonely Planet Korean for 'where's a hotel'. No problem. Now Korea has something called a Motel - aka 'Love Motel' - very cheap, colourful, and with lots of room features (e.g. big baths). This was also rather pink & neon. More ...

... in search of some dinner.  Haenam was typically Korean, with exactly the same shops, convenience stores and interiors as in Suwon and Seoul, but it certainly had more of a rural feel to it.  We attracted a few more looks and fewer smiles than in ...

... that are very cheap to use.  Busan's subway system is smaller, and thus MUCH easier to navigate than Seoul's.  Both offer cheap transportation though.  Taxi's are available in even the smaller communities, and compared to the U.S. and ...

... in a hungover state and to time your arrival to coincide with Korean Memorial day just smacks of carelessness. Not knowing where your motel is futher adds to the agony and thus we wandered the streets for half an hour like prisoners of war on a ...

... first sight of North Korea was the Kaesong Industrial Complex, where South Korean companies have many factories profiting from North Korean cheap labour. After this industrial complex the road narrowed a lot and we were in real North Korea. Alas, we were ...

... didn't get off to the best start - the accommodation I had booked had no record of us so we ended up in a Yeogwan (Love Motel). These are places that are usually hired out by the hour by amorous young couples but I think they are fairly used to foreigners ...
