Pohang Daejam-dong Phone

The bed was round, so it was really unique lol. I had a good rest, thanks hehe.

As soon as I checked in, an older woman—maybe a middle-aged woman, maybe a grandmother—told me to go upstairs, so I went up to unpack and then came back down to check something in my car. She grabbed me and, scanning me up and down, asked where I was going. I thought she might have some short-term memory or cognitive issues but was hardworking. The bathroom door was old and didn’t close well, so there was no ventilation; it was very humid and hot, so I turned on the air conditioner, but it kept shutting off, which I found odd. At midnight she called the room phone and asked if I had the heated pad on while the AC was running. She said if I opened the window it would be cool, so to run the AC moderately. Telling me to sleep with the door open in a row of motels and listen to the noise—well, given her limited cognition I figured that was understandable. I didn’t know she was somehow pulling electricity from the Strait of Hormuz, and I apologized. Luckily the hot water seemed to run 24 hours, which was a relief. Even though her memory wasn’t great, she called 45 minutes before checkout to remind me, and that was really touching. Oh, and one more thing: the parking lot is narrow and crowded, so once you park you may not be able to go back out and come in again. Guests should keep that in mind!
