The Modern 여관
I just arrived in Seoul about an hour and a half ago and checked into a motel in Shinchon about fifteen minutes ago. Hoo boy! These motels have really improved over the past few years. For starters, I am typing this post from my room using free Internet access:
There is a nice double bed with quality beddings:
A large screen television (perfect for late-night World Cup viewing):
A jacuzzi-style bathtub:
And then there is this (I’m not sure what it is for):
It says 사랑만들기 on the machine. So it’s for those who - cue music - FEEL LIKE MAKIN’ LOVE!!! Let’s have a closer look. We’ve got the “special condom”:
Special indeed. No need to worry about tearing that baby. Might have to watch out for splinters though. In the next photo you will see on the left a combo condom/breathmint package and on the right a - cough, cough - “traditional” ring for men*.
Next we have “Climax - Oil of Love” on the left (in Korean it says “Edible Oil”) and on the right we have “Fem Fem - Hanil Quasi Drug” for women. I’m not even going to comment on that one.
Finally we have this:
Orgasm gel (on the right). When everything else fails.
All this can be yours for a mere 40,000 won a night. All that’s missing is a little Marvin Gaye.
*UPDATE: My bad. In my haste, I misread “진동” for “전통”. So rather than a “traditional” ring, it is a “vibrating” ring.

Holy shit, where exactly is that motel?

welcome to seoul.
looks like you are all set for a good time.

That is not a 전통 ring. It is a 진동 ring. Not “traditional”, but “vibrating”. It is a a “Vibrating ring (for men)… experience handsome and strong manhood through gentle vibrations”

Jeff: You are indeed correct. My haste to write this post combined with my obvious innocence led me to misread “진동” as “전통”, so instead of a traditional ring we have a c*ck ring that operates in “manner mode”. Next time, for accuracy’s sake, I shall have to put each product to the test. I think the occasional visitor to this blog would expect nothing less.

What are you doing in Seoul? I thought you had like 6 months left on your contract.

I have a couple of weeks vacation, so I just came up here for three or four days to see some friends. Just finished watching the U.S.-Ghana game. What an exercise in frustration.

It would have been better if you had been strapped with your vibrating ring… then you could have had been gently massaged as you Ghana outscored us.

Yea… where is this hotel? I need a place to stay next month…

Jeff: Had I been strapped with the vibrating ring, you can be assured I would have switched over to one of the two porn channels. (Yes, that’s right - TWO porn channels.) And I would have been massaged much more vigorously than Onyewu massaged that Ghanaian in the penalty box.
G, Brian: The motel is located behind McDonald’s in Shinchon. Actually there are about three or four blocks of similar “love motels” in that area. The name of the place where I stayed was “Jella” (젤라). I highly recommend it.

Hey Scott,
Please post some pictures of the delicious Korean food you’re munching on while in Seoul.

Just how long is your vacation, dude? More like a sabbatical…

I stayed there last July before leaving Korea and I’ll be staying there for a day or two this weeekend for my return. It is quite posh comapred to some of the others.
Since I’ll only be in Korea for 5 months, I’d love to be able to live at this place. I wonder if I can work out some sort of special weekly or monthly rate…
