Overview

A viral sensation that captivated 90,000 readers

 

In this bustling metropolis of Seoul, where traffic never slows down and international cultures collide, along the winding hillside roads of Hannam-dong by the Han River, sits a small guesthouse that welcomes new stories every single day.

 

Some guests have a habit of leaving things behind—like frozen mice, bloody bandages, and their grandma's urn. Some others even leave themselves behind—like when they pass out in the bathroom. From ridiculous laugh-out-loud daily encounters to the peculiar behaviors of strange and unusual guests, from gripping tales of criminal check-ins to guests' final farewells, Summer has accumulated a lifetime of extraordinary experiences running a guesthouse for seven years in Seoul as a Taiwanese.

 

Hilarious, bizarre, heartwarming—and occasionally bone-chilling—the guests who come and go from Summer's guesthouse showcase impression-shattering antics and behaviors that puzzles common sense. Having already captivated tens of thousands of readers online, these absurd daily encounters and ludicrous slices-of-life stories will fascinate anyone.

 

Join Summer on this extraordinary journey where every check-in brings a new adventure and every guest carries their own universe of stories. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable exploration of humanity in all its beautiful, messy, and surprising glory.

Author(s)

Born in summer, hence the name Summer. After graduation, she worked many jobs: children's English teacher, talent agent, celebrity assistant, marketing planner. Now, besides being a columnist, she still juggles multiple roles, including running a guesthouse in Seoul. 

 

Among all her endeavors, what she's persisted with the longest is writing down every bizarre, heart-wrenching, deeply moving, and extraordinary story that happens each day. Currently pursuing the goal of having "a free spirit with a refined soul," she's living in Seoul with her Pomeranian, Chilin!
