| Post subject: | Hi from Korea |
Hi Guys! I have watched this fantastic new forum grow and I have finally decided to step in and say hi.... so 'hi'. I do not play Go online, but I am currently studying everyday at Yu Chang'hyuk's Baduk Dojang (Dojang = Dojo). My rank in Korea is 1d, but world rankings seem quite variable as I just got back from Japan where I was ranked as a 5d. I guess it shows rank is merely relative so it doesn't really matter.  Anyway, I hope to get to know you all soon. |

Good to have you on the forum, welcome! How come you chose this one, as I guess there must be lots of korean forums on Baduk as well, right? The Dojo where you are studying, is this like a school where you are going to and taking lessons? Anyways, I hope you will be enjoying this forum as much as I do. See you around. |

Well, to be honest I am actually not Korean even though I am living there at the moment. I can speak and write a fair bit, but I am pretty slow at it so an English forum is still easier. I chose this school to study at because it has a good reputation and is probably the strongest Baduk/Go school in Seoul. Every weekday I go to the school and study from 8:30am until 9:00pm. On weekends I study from 8:30am until 6:00pm. Study includes Life and Death problems, as well as matches, game reviews and lectures. It is pretty full on, but very enjoyable too. |

Welcome! It's always interesting to hear how things work in Korea, and I think some people were looking for information on go schools in the east. |

Hi! Can you please tell me how much it costs to study there? i would like to know all the expenses and requirements if possible. Is there a foreigner discount? I heard from my reliable Korean friend, who works for Oro, that many of them have this. Thanks! |
