Seoul never changes their sheets!
Seoul on fire? Say it ain't so! I can't stop laughing, even though I believe you.
At every "other" MP that I've gone to, the SP goes through the before/after ritual of bringing in/changing the towels and sheets (unless they are prestocked and prechanged).
But at Seoul, the SP at most brings in one and only one body towel. The sheet on the mattress, uh...is probably the one that we have all used...think back guys...did we see the SPs changing the mattress sheets before/after or was it just bring in/out a body towel while the SP zips up/down the stairs.
The mattress sheets have become toxic and flammable with the body grease and other fluids. No wonder Seoul was on fire!
This place is too surreal. Whoa in front of a downtown bus stop, Smoking door-man, the deadbolt door, Japanese sandals, 45 year old Pinky looking like Jabba the Slut reclining on the couch, girls behind the let's make a deal curtain, that darn shower attachment that won't get a steady stream of warm water, wow classic old style hard wood floors, mattress but no box-spring, a candle has more light - who stuck a mood light bulb into the lamp?
Still a memorable place. Heeheehee.
Man, I gotta try out BEX, hopefully they change the sheets on their tables.
Cheers!

Rome can't be built in one day...but...
Can't Seoul be built (at another flophouse) in one day?
Just rent a house...say next door...No need for new directions.
How many showers do you need?
Let's say...ONE! A real no-brainer...the old customers put up with it.
Flop a handful of mattresses, no boxsprings, onto the floor.
No need to install sinks, mirrors, tables, or towels, or sheets.
The most time-consuming thing is probably to install the double-sided dead bolt.
Seoul wasn't exactly "renovation/plumbing" intensive.
Pinky keeps answering the phone.
She doesn't even sound traumatized, just her usual giggling / curt self.
This place is so surreal, it feels like a David Lynch brothel.
Cheers!
