Communication confusion

This photo of our marvellous Landlady, she brought us a tray w noodle soup, Korean pancakes & a herbal power drink as we left.
We rode about 30k & still fresh decided to continue, no hotel destination less than 70 Kms that we knew of. Wind forecast was 30 gusting to 40, we feel it was higher. In fact we wonder how strong a wind can be biked into as we feel we were pushing the limit.
We arrive in sangju, 95k, see a cafe & a town across a bridge, cafe lady says a motel in 200 meters, we want to nail this down so confirm that she means further along the road & not over the bridge, more than 200 meters later we ask some bikers, no,no motels, turn back heading over the bridge, Jim asks other bikers, motel? He looks up & set back about 200 meters behind the cafe are about 6 motels.
Out for supper, Jim says no to sitting on floor (most Korean restaurants) there is a Chinese restaurant but it seems closed, no it is open, they are conserving electricity! Menu on wall, all Korean. We ask, chicken? No, Pork? Jim provided an oink, No. Owner points to the middle of the menu, Marlene, "he said Rice" Jim, "it could be Offal, or Anything," Marlene, " it will be Ok! "Jim, "what is the Price" M "it will be Ok, even when they charge us twice what they do the locals.
Supper, delicious fried rice w fried egg about & $10 . Photo Jim getting checked out by Korean woman! First thing in AM up & over the pass.

Wow Jimbo - it normally only happens in films - you seem to be enjoying the moment? I trust Marlene was looking the other way and it was someone else photographing the episode!
