여러분 안녕하세요 ?

Friday February 20th at 10am, we left Sun’s guesthouse « StayKorea » to go to her sister-in-law’s « Annguesthouse ».

In the beginning, we didn’t want to move from our place, especially we had to take our biiiig packages xD

But well, we arrived in the guesthouse, it made us hallucinating.

It was really great : modern, clean, it looked nice. Besides, we were just 4 in the beginning : Syham my turu turu, Nanami a Japanese young woman, Pierre-Jean, a Starcraft French player and me.

Apparently, the guesthouse was brand new. We were barely just settling and there was the fridge delivery. ^^ The owner was really nice but she was only speaking Korean so no way to communicate in English. But it was good for us because all of us are studying Korean language.

하숙집 / Guesthouse ?

Like the title shows it, a guesthouse is one’s home that you can rent according to your wishes. The guesthouse owner decides of the amount about one night. From that moment, you have an access to all facilities in the house or in the apartment.

I took some pics of the second guesthouse, Annguesthouse, because I really loved it.

First, even if the 1st guesthouse was a big house, I prefered the second one, because it was in a great building, near to Hongik gate number 1. To reach to the guesthouse, we needed a access code. Indeed, in Korea, doors are most of time fitted with modern and in same time simple locking mechanism. So, you can’t forget your keys at home, it is safe ! ^^

Then, as soon as you enter in the guesthouse, you have to take off your shoes. There is a little space especially for that case. You just take off your shoes or your sneakers and you put slippers on. It is the same custom in Egypt but there is not small space to take off your shoes.

What can we find in Annguesthouse ?

A well-fitted kitchen, a korean bathroom, with the sink, shower and the lavatory bowl, there is also wireless internet, a computer with internet, 6 bunk beds, and in the mezzanine, 3 or 4 mattresses.

The breakfast is also given : the owner bought bread, butter, apple or strawberry jam, coffee packets, tea bags, sugar and milk powder.

About water in Korea, it is the same everywhere : everyone has his cistern with 2 taps in it, one for cold water, the other one for hot water. And that’s really handy, when you wanna have a coffee, a tea or a hot chocolate, you win time and you don’t burn your tongue !!

Then, the owner takes care of cleaning stuff and so on, however, we can't leave our used dishes in the sink, it is natural right ? The, sometimes, she just asks if we have dirty linen.

What else about guesthouse ? I think that’s all ^^

AH YES ! In that guesthouse, the tenants are completely free, the owner does not live with the tenants so we can just share good moments together without disturbing the owner. But that point depends on each guesthouse.

Here was my article about guesthouse. If I have something to add, I will inform you !

Hereupon, I will study for my last exam tomorrow !

See you !!!
