Round Bed in Gangneung, Korea


The really cheap places have these round beds. Perhaps I am staying in a love hotel, maybe I do not know how to tell.

“A large portion of the hotel industry in Korea is comprised of so-called “love hotels,” a phrase that conjures the deservingly seedy image of neon refuges for adulterers, midnight lovers and anyone else escaping the scrutiny of friends or relatives.

Love hotels are recognizable by their often gaudy, castle-like exteriors and distinctive features to disguise their clientele, such as special barriers to shield the license plates in the parking lot. But love hotel owners are transforming the image of their establishments, upgrading them from cheap lust shacks to respectable getaways for married couples and lovers.”
