Quarantine Day 7: Garbage

The hotel will no longer take my garbage out. They're saying by government policy, it has to stay in my room until I'm released from quarantine (9 more days). They gave me some biohazard bags and some disinfectant along with a very complicated 2 page manual written entirely in Korean on how to properly pack my garbage. I've tried translating it but to no avail. Google's image translation breaks down on passages this long.

Upon closer inspection, the "disinfectant" appears to actually just be an odor eliminating scented spray. I can see why this would be necessary because after only one day my garbage smelled terrible. The meals they provide are largely seafood based, which makes it worse. Here's a picture of some kind of tentacle I've been eating. The scented spray is nice but it really just doesn't cut the mustard here.




The staff kept calling about it and saying it's a government policy and I can't keep leaving garbage out for pickup. I really don't want the garbage in the room and have been protesting. They typed up a rough, abbreviated translation of the manual and left it on my tarp. I was able to get them to take one last bag of garbage out but I think that's about all I'm gonna get.
