I agree with the post stating that it would be better to shell out a few extra Won for an upscale motel. I doing so there will be no hassles, and you get all the extra goodies.

As for what happend, my guess is that the man knocking on the door was with his friends and were in the area of the motel. Upon seeing the two of you enter, they decided to "do something about this"(soju talking) and entered ready to kick some western @ss. Being as drunk as they were, as soon as she said she was alone they just stumbled out.

The owner theory makes no sense to me because he/she has a key to all rooms, and if the door was dead-bolted he/she would have told the woman inside and excuse as to why they had to change rooms. Once the door was opened all hell would have broken loose.

I do have to say that this is the first I've heard of anything like this happening in Korea in the 3 years I've been here.

butterfly, in case you hadn't realised this is the general discussion forum. It doesn't have to be about teaching. also, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. i couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag, but when my gf is being abused i'm not going to stand for it. you may be a spineless jellyfish, and that's ok if you can accept that. after 2 years of just turning the other cheek, or just ignoring it, it gets a bit much.

butterfly, you're right of course. i've just realised i do go on about the same old thing. ignoring people that disapprove is the best policy. in fact if you do this, it makes the person look even more foolish.

I can personally attest to the fact that K-men, even in groups, will back down when confronted. It happened to me and I prevailed.

This is not to say I am confident of winning every time. Fight a Korean for any just reason, such as self-defense, and see how fast you are removed from the country.

What does help is making friends with Korean policemen. When some psycho (American in my case) fails to respect civilzed behavior, your police buddy might do the confronting for you. This usually results in said psycho's realization of how very far he is from home.

Never start a fight on someone's home turf. Homie's always have the advantage. That said, if push comes to shove, either be prepared to suffer the legal consequences, or do whatever has to be done to protect yourself.

I've never had a problem with any of the love hotels I've stayed at when I'm with my girl. Then again, I've never slummed it in a fleabag place, either. Most of the deluxe places only charge around 2���� for a 3 hour stay, which is usually plenty of time to get the deed done. Full nights run 8-10����, but they're worth it. Flat screen, PC, steam room, whirlpool bath, disco lights, etc.

Check out Mong or Noo-noo in Jongno, or Ezen in Sinchon...those places rock.

There was one occasion when I got some strange looks...during NFL's opening weekend, there were also tons of MLB games on TV as well. Me and a friend got a double room (2 beds) with 2 TVs, a projection screen, and a PC. I brought my Xbox and a handful of games, DVDs, etc.

We stayed up playing games and watching sports, drinking Hite pitchers and eating pizza. It was totally a "manly" thiing, but from an outside view, seeing two guys check into a love motel with suitcases full of god-knows-what must have been strange.

Try being in the inside room with a booming voiced foot Samoan man banging on the door looking for his girlfriend....scary.
