notes on guesthouse

this is an interesting guesthouse. last week slightly different crowd to this week; one gentleman with a laptop letting us watch his girlfriend strip for him in a far away land over MSN-with-webcam; another drunk all the time and angry that everyone else seems to get more girls than him and especially angry at aforementioned gentleman for allegedly stealing a Japanese girl who had stayed here before. the owner came up to me one day and asked if I wanted to go to meet a korean girl who wanted to meet English people - I had nothing else to do that evening so I went along, and found someone who not only is cute but also likes to drink lots; between the owner, myself and pretty girl got through four bottles of soju at a nearby bar (along with a few plates of good spicy food). Somehow from there, her and I ended up back at hostel where first-mentioned gentleman proceeded to hit on the girl and secondmentioned (after not talking to anyone) handed over a note to her along the lines of "I do not like [the first person], but here's my email address if you want to hang out alone". Eventually (0600 or so) people passed out around the place; at 0800 I tried to wake girl to go to work without much luck; she continued resting all day and didn't go home until the evening. Then I went to Tokyo, returning to discover in my absence that one person in a drunken fit had voided his bladder all about the place (thankfully it had been cleaned up and even better none of it appeared to have sprayed all over my possessions (for once)). Others in the hostel have suffered from (2x) not being able to move into their new apartment and (1x) deportation. So it sounds like my weekend was generally more successful. Now I have been told that the girl is not allowed to visit the guesthouse (not sure if its some no-visitors policy that the owner is trying to enforce, or if he is terribly embarrassed about the behaviour of some of his guests (me?!) being seen by other Koreans). Drunkard has tidied his behaviour rather since the weekend, but still lies in bed muttering to himself for some time before passing out. One last evening in Korea tonight (which will involve alcohol, no doubt - preferably the cute Korean girl but failing that there are a bunch of other people in the hostel who might be persuaded) and then I am off to do it all again in Hong Kong.
