My hotel, The Lotte, is reputed to be the best in Korea. Clean, posh, with very good service. The buffet is famous. Though a bit expensive, of course. Which made me wonder how come so many guests are young. My one complaint is that there is no lobby where one can sit comfortably and meet a guest. Unless one pays, of course.
\nIn China, hotels in this class often have a so-called KTV, meaning a brothel, built in. Here they don\u2019t. The Seoul Lotte does, however, have a \u201cladies\u2019 floor\u201d where men are not allowed. I doubt that I missed much.<\/p>\n

Young Korean women are stunning. Many have sweet faces. Small breasts, but well-shaped asses and legs. Among them the shift back from pants to skirts (or shorts) is well under way. Makes them look even better.<\/p>\n
