river hill

Last weekend David and I headed up the Han river, about 20 min outside Seoul, to meet up with his co-workers to hang out on river hill. It was such a wonderful weekend spent eating delicious (and super cheap) Korean food, riding on boats (and a lot of "I'm on booooat" singing), wakeboard watching, dock jumping and overall enjoyment of being outside the city playing in the sun.









Once again we stayed in one of the "love motels". Apparently this area is infamous for being THE place to bring your mistress for an hour or two. Not only is it close to the city but also seen as somewhat romantic. Although I see nothing romantic about places that rent by the hour and have a red light option in the room. The funniest part of all this was that rooms could not be booked for an overnight stay till late in the evening because the motel wanted to make as much money as possible through hourly rentals...oh so romantic. ick.

The room appeared clean. I wouldn't take a black light to it though. They are actually usually pretty cute rooms with funky decorations. I mean they make a good amount of money everyday. No I did not wake board. Too much money when you know you aren't too good. Riding on the boat was good enough for me.

Does love hotel basically mean the Shangri La like on Holly?
