Sometimes an explanation only makes things worse

I was looking through some photos from my trip around Asia this past summer and there are some gems in here too good not to share.

But even the worst of hotel stays can be made better with some genuine Korean Karaoke!

And as my friends found, you can sleep nearly anywhere.

Just watch your step
