Olympic dreams and love hotels at APEC

to experience South Korean passion and spirits on Monday ahead of the arrival of leaders later in the week.

Here are a few notes from the southeastern port of Pusan, which is hosting the summit:

FEEL THE LOVE

South Korea's second city, with a population of about 3.7 million, is awash with hotel rooms.

But the five-star rooms go quickly in any city when leaders of 21 economies, foreign ministers and chief executives from some of the world's richest companies -- along with all of their related staff -- turn up at the same time.

As a result, media groups and other APEC participants are staying in places euphemistically called "love hotels" where couples can rent rooms by the hour.

Pusan's love hotels have spruced up their rooms, covered mirrors on the ceilings and put their cleanest sheets on round beds for a new sort of clientele.

News agency journalists found their pink-lit rooms to be spacious and clean, but lacking some amenities. Since typical customers do not usually worry about unpacking, the rooms come with no closets and only two hangers.

There are no exact figures for the number of love hotels in Pusan because they are not registered as such, but a city official estimated that about 30 percent rent rooms by the hour.

DRINK LIKE A KING

APEC has a happy hour for participants to down spirits fit for a king. Every afternoon during the event, South Korea's Ministry of Culture and Tourism is sponsoring a liquor-testing session where participants can taste wine-based spirits once served at Korea's royal court.

The drink called "samhaeju" has a deep and slightly sweet taste, not unlike mead, and is about 18 percent alcohol.

"This is a wonderful drink for cold days," said Kwak Yong-hwa, an exhibition worker.

The ministry is sponsoring a traditional Korean foods booth too, complete with people dressed in royal garb. The character who plays the king gets to use silver chopsticks because they are supposed to change colour if there is a poison in food.

The booth offers food-tasting sessions and a little hands-on experience with Korean cuisine.

Participants can roll up their sleeves and try making cakes with green, red and pink rice in the shape of flowers for a dish called "tteok".

OLYMPIC DREAMS

Pusan expects to announce during APEC that it wants to host the 2020 Olympics, a city official said on Monday.

Pusan Mayor Mayor Hur Nam-sik is planning a news conference to announce that his city will officially seek to be a candidate for the Summer Games in 15 years' time, the official said.

South Korea hosted the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.

BUSH TO RECEIVE GIFT FROM N.KOREA DEFECTORS

A group of North Korean defectors living in the South will try to present a gift of traditional ceramics to U.S. President George W. Bush, who arrives in South Korea on Wednesday.

The defectors want to thank Bush for his push to improve human rights in North Korea. (With additional reporting by Lee Jin-joo in Seoul)
