Daegu 🏙️

After the Templestay we took the bus back down the mountain and into the major city Daegu.

This is where the first hiccup of the trip happened. Unbeknown to me I’d accidentally booked us into a ‘Sex Hotel.’ Booking.com had said it was a fantastic place for site-seeing with a central location, clean facilities and many amenities.

However, on arrival we realised that every floor was named after love, the sensual floor, the love feelings floor, and a bible verse on the wall all about love. I overlooked this as just a quirk of what had been reviewed as being “a great hotel.”

But after checking in the penny soon dropped. The reflections gleefully handed us two comfort kits including condoms, lube, and fresh wipes.

Shocked we headed up to the room and were greeted with stained walls, handprints on windows and mirrors, an old PC computer < god only knows what people have searched on that, and around 5 packs of tissues dotted around the room.

After taking it all I decided there was 0 chance we were staying there and quickly took photographic evidence of the horror show.

At reception the lady looked surprised - she must have thought we were quick. I told her “there was no chance” we were staying there and then we had a broken conversation over google translate.

We left and within 5 minutes I’d booked us an apartment down the road, due to booking it at such last minute we got a £500 a night apartment for £150 (score).

After a short backward and foreword with booking.com they gave us a full refund. There were more concerned that we’d been put in a smoking room rather than the booked non-smoking room.Leggi altro
