Did I disturb you?

It was a bit of a bender yesterday. No makole. Just . . .

Beer with raw snail (of two varieties) with complimentary sea squirt and sea penis, as we were sitting on the docks watching the fish boats unload and the fish trucks load

Beer with walking and then kogi mandu, id est, steamed bun stuffed with meat and cabbage

Soju with maewoontang, Korean spicy cioppino

Beer with strolling through jewelry stalls and buying Alex a "Nike" hoodie "made in Thailand" and "made in El Salvador" (two labels, for extra authenticity)

Beer with billiards

Beer while searching for a cocktail, unsuccessfully

Imported beer in a bar with darts and fusball with movie-making Swedes

Jaeger booms (sic)

Beer strolling to dukpoki (rice cakes in sweet chili sauce) with odang-duk (fish tempura broth)

After all of which we arrived at the hotel and were surprised not to see our "do not disturb" sign hanging on our door knob.

You see, we'd talked with the maid that morning. We didn't want her mussing through our stuff when we weren't there. So we exchanged our own towels and emptied our trash before leaving our room.

To keep the maids out while we were out, we hung a sign to leave the room undisturbed.

Imagine how disturbed we were to find "do not disturb" not on our door but on the floor of our room!

Candace even photographed the evidence, up close so you can see the disturbing words.

As further evidence, CJ documented how each bed has two pillows apiece, not the three and two as we had left.

We had evidence. We were disturbed.
