Alright. Who knows of hotels close to the base in Yongsan, that allow pets, aren't hugely expensive, and aren't skanky? I would like to know.

I was aiming for intrigued passing traffic, so if prostitution is what does it then that's fine. Hotels? Question

No, man, no.

Koreans are sexually pure people...FIGHTING.


There are no homosexuals in Korea. Also, there is no prostitution in Korea.

If we trimmed this board of these kinds of tired old jokes, it'd probably be about 25% smaller. sparkling.

I've got bad news for you.

You won't be making any money doing private lessons.


Private lessons are illegal.


You are welcome.


ps this thread just increased by 50% due to your insightful commentary.

You are welcome.

well I don't think you really want to sleep with critters. Most hotels want to keep the rats out. I guess if you want a hotel with 'critters' that isn't skanky I'm confused. OH you mean a place for your dog...now I got it

Yup. Few days inbetween moving house, need a place that isn't gross, is big enough to house 2 people and 4 animals for a couple of nights, but isn't uber expensive. No rats is a plus.

Aw, this is crap. I really do need somewhere to stay in the pretty immediate future. Really really no one's got any experience of this? As long as it's within walking distance / cheap taxi distance of any gate at yongsan, and takes pets, it's on the possible list.

Really, really. Pay, the charge, get the room key, smuggle the dog in later. That's the only way you'll get past an adjoshi/ajuma in a yogwan. Seoul Motel, next to McD's in Itaewon, W30,000. Actually, I think the Hamilton Hotel takes dogs you just have to carry them in the lobby. About W140,000 a night, though.

Hang on, 4 animals? I am at a loss for words. How would I know how to get 4 dogs into a hotel? 3 nuns and a pack mule, maybe. I think you need a vet, try Itaewon Animal Hospital at Noksapyeong Stn. Not cheap, though.

USFK families also love the Kaya Hotel by the USO/Camp Kim. About W65,000. Pets, dunno. Certainly used to foreign types, though.

Yeah really really, smuggling in 4 animals (and out again to pee, and in again, and out again to pee) for the course of 3 or 4 days doesn't seem manageable. I guess we're looking more for a bigger hotel, rather than a yogwan, because since it's between moves we'll have a lot of shit. I know it's more expensive but we might get reimbursed anyway.

I know an animal hospital would make sense but we're not up for stowing them away when it's a stressful enough time for them anyway. They don't do great with separation, I'm afraid. Anyway, one dog we're dog sitting for a friend and it's kind of rude to shove him in into a cage when we promised to look after him.

Actually just had a look at the Kaya. Hmmmm. I dunno. Good suggestion though. I think we'd pay up to like W150,000 a night. I'm searching online and finding shit but the maps suck, so i can't tell if they're close enough to base. Anyway, thanks for the input, that was really (really really) helpful.

Very Happy

yep - we are in a somewhat similar, if not exactly identical, boat.

1 dog (almost identical to your avatar pic) & 3 cats.

They will stay with our vet until we head out for the overnight in Incheon New - Town. We will have their carrier-cages with us, so we are hoping that will do it (we are still working the logistics of the limo bus, as well . . .)

anyway, here is an option, maybe???

What about just getting a good vet/animal hotel recc for the area, and then getting a room nearby? You could visit them, walk them to pee, etc. Total cost should be about the same (most places charge 10/space/night), and none of the attempted hotel hassles?

No, it isn't a great solution - but we work with what we have . . .

Good luck (for all of us!),

Glen & Christina

(feeling especially sympathetic, because tomorrow we are giving up our house squirrels (chipmunks; mated pair; tame; 3 yrs. old) to our vet. She is thinking about keeping them herself, but if not, we know she will find them a good home.)
