Daegu (Part 1)--27. Aug.

You have no idea how far behind I am. These are the pictures I took when I went down to Daegu with a few friends for the World Track and Field Championships. These were from Aug. 27-28. It's October already. Yeah, I'm really behind, I know. It's been unbelievable.



Anyway, these are the pictures from Saturday, Aug. 27.


Pretty self-explanatory, although this was at Dong(East) Daegu Train Station.



The information desk for the event's activities.



Some of the friends I'm accompanied.




One of the subway exits (dunno which one). I thought it looked a little daunting.




Reminds me of Daejeon's subway stations--empty, deserted.




Where we all spent the night.

In Korea, this is called a "Love Motel".

I think you can guess why . . . it's not specifically for sleeping, although there are people who do go to such places for the sole purpose of sleeping--like my entourage.





Can you see the heart? It's formed of the spoon's 2 shadows.

This was where we had supper that night (Dolseot Bibimbap--iron bowl of mixed rice with veggies . . . sounds better in Korean).




Our motel from the outside.




The main desk/counter.




Inside my room, looking at the wall behind the bed. The computer beside the bed worked pretty well (internet and all).




The bathroom with 2 shower heads: 1 for the tub and the huge one for in the middle of the bathroom (Korean style).




Tub, sink, and toilet. See the drain under the sink? That's for the shower outside the tub.




Down the hallway from my room.




Purple velvet . . . not sure what to think.




I'm at the doorway of my room, looking at the black glass. Just to the right (beside the black glass, past the phone) is the elevator. It's really small. Fit for 2 people . . . I guess this is typical. I didn't bother that much and just kept to the stairs.




Plants and lights from the ceiling.




Back in my room, standing by the computer and the bed, facing the dresser, tv, and other stuff.


Then, it's off to bed. The excitement of the stadium will commence the next day.
