Cheap "Hotel" Room

This was the room that I slept in last weekend (for one night) with my friend Ken. His wife stayed with her mother.

The room was not in a hotel, but rather a "minbak" (민박), very spartan, with sleeping mats on the floor in lieu of beds. Usually a minbak consists of a room in a private home; this was a small building with efficiency rooms, some with long-term occupants, others available for nightly rentals. Cost = $30.

It wasn't very comfortable, as you might imagine, but it was next to the mother's building and--for one night--it suited our needs.
