 |
|
I received a very nice invitation to visit an English language Baduk (바둑) club in Seoul. On March 13th, at 12 noon, a couple of retired professors (Korean) will be leading a discussion on board games. I understand refreshments will be served. It sounds like a wonderful place to meet some nice people, share information and play board games. It's located near Gangnam station. I know they are also interested in playing chess.
If anyone is interested, I can probably get more specific details. |

It's nice to see that people are interested. I think it would be a nice experience if you enjoy board games. I haven't been able to visit yet, but I hope to in the future.
Here is a link to the club site: http://badukenglish.cyworld.com/
Most of the site is in Korean, but there are some posts in English. |

PLEASE MORE DETAILS! DO WANT!!!
Do you have to be invited? I would like to go to this. I'm 5kyu on KGS, not sure how this translates in Korea (probably super weak. lol). |

I'm reasonably confident that anyone may attend the club.
Here is the address of the club as sent to me by email:
"Our club is located in the middle of 'Gangnam' & 'Yeoksam' subway station(line no.2). The address is Yeoksam-dong 735-18, Gangnam-gu, Seoul ('Young' building, b1f / Dowha engneering company's building). We have had meeting twice a week regularly and often meet at the retired professors' home (Bundang-gu, Seongnam-city / near 'Migeum' subway station on Bundang line)."
That's about it for details. Maybe, you can glean some more information from the link that I provided earlier in this thread. If I learn more, I will be sure to pass it on.
If anyone attends, I'd like to hear what you think about the club. |

| It seems to be about a 80 minute trek for me. :/ If I can make it, I'll be there. It's rare to see Baduk lessons in English (that's not online). |
