I took a teaching position back in the mid-00s in Korea. Because it was a new school, the housing wasn't ready when we arrived. The school decided to put us up in one because it was cheap. We were there for a month.
Nice? That's not the word I would choose. Random stains on the furniture and carpet. Hairs on the sheets. A vending machine at the end of the hall selling an assortment of toys.
They did have free pirated DVDs on a shelf at the end of the hall. It was all porn.
It did have fantastic sound effects at 2 AM in the morning, though.
Nice is definitely not the word I would choose based on my experience.
- nemothekid 8y agoI'm not sure about Korean real-estate, but $75/night would be ~2000/mo (which I don't think would be cheap). It sounds like he may have stayed at a place that was far more upscale than your experience.
- rlue 8y agoThe place your school put you up in probably didn't charge US$75/night. In my experience (in Taiwan), many decent, modern hotels offer 2- to 4-hour couples packages just to tap that extra segment of the market. In addition to those, there are definitely seedy places where you can get a room for 3 hours for around US$15.
