Okay, so I think that some of the updates on this have been emailing to me, so I wanted to test this out. As far as I know, right now there's me (A Daegu Lady), A Gyeongju Lady and A Seoul Lady? I believe all three of us are teachers. Any other Korea A Ladys out there?

I know it's a long shot, but there are at least two of us 'Pinners
here in the Hermit Kingdom. I'm located in Daegu, and the other lady
is down in Masan. This message is a general call: are there more of
us? (i bet there are!) where are we? Let's get together for chats/
crafts/whatever, and eat pajeon and drink makkeolli (or burgers and
jack and cokes. or coffee!)

[Emily]

In Seoul! Surely there are more of us out here?

Seoul in the house! (In the 집?)

[Emily]

Should we do a facebook group?

[Grace Avila]

Facebook Group sounds good if we can make it private or closed? Facebook seems a bit easier than Google Groups, but I'd also rather my real name not be tethered to my Hairpin ID(anymore than it already is...)

[Emily]

I tried to make a group, but facebook wouldn't let me make a group
with no friends in it.
So I pouted and now I'm going to make a smoothie to console myself.

[Erin]

In Seoul as well! Two thoughts:

1) Can we make a FB group if two of us friend each other?

2) If the FB group would be private anyway, would an email be a decent alternative? I'd probably miss things on FB, but mass emails can get annoying. 

[Grace Avila]

LET'S DO THIS. Sarah- I found you on Fbook. Do you mind if I add you so one of us can set up a Fbook group?

Anyone up for a Seoul Pin Up this month?

Shall we postpone this until after vacation times? Or take further steps to make a facebook group or something?

[Grace Avila]

Okay made the group. Search 'Korea Hairpinners' if you're interested in joining :) (I accidentally made a 'Seoul Hairpinners' group for .5 seconds. Skip that one if you stumble on it!)

Add away! I leave for Vietnam today, but if we get the group up and running, then we can worry about time and date.

[Karlee May]

hey I tried searching for the group on facebook but I couldn't find it?

Just joined the group - I'm in Busan but will be in Seoul August 25 & 26 if anyone is interested in a meetup on those days? 

[Grace Avila]

I'll probably be in Seoul that weekend. Maybe we could do a small meetup at Craftworks if anyone else is in?

[ulan...@gmail.com]

Hey y'all!

I'd be interested in joining, but I don't have (or want) a facebook. :(

Is there a way I could be added to a message list, even if I'm not a member of the FB group? Or maybe details could be posted to this group as well as the FB group?

- Ulana

[Grace Avila]

I'll try to cross post details from the fbook group as we figure stuff out. I think right now we are trying to pick a spot for a meetup and debating between daegu and daejeon (probably sometime in September). Any input?

[ulan...@gmail.com]

Thanks!

I live in Seoul and haven't been to either of those cities yet. I'm assuming they're easy to get to from Seoul - do you know about how much time it'd take to travel there? Would it be by bus or KTX? I'm open to exploring new parts of Korea!

[Grace Avila]

Hey Ulana,

Yay! Another Seoul 'Pinner :) Another person(Emily) on the fbook group expressed interest in meeting up at Craftworks on the weekend Nina wrote about. Would you be interested in that too?

Daejeon is 1 hour away by train and 2 hours away by bus. Daegu is about 3 hours by train and 3.5 hours by bus. Since everyone is coming from different areas, I figure we can all figure out our own transport details and try to arrange arrival times close together. I'm coming from Seoul, so if you want someone to travel with I'd be down to work something out. I'm in Hongdae, so I'll be taking a train wherever

[ulan...@gmail.com]

Yes, I am definitely down for meeting at Craftworks! 

I'd be interested in trying to work out a travel buddy thing. I've actually never taken the KTX yet, even though I'm on my second year here! I live pretty close to you (Eungam at the end of line 6), so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks for relaying the info to me. Not having a facebook is really a hassle sometimes.

Hey all! Update for anyone not in the Facebook Group:

Mini PInup in Seoul on Saturday evening. We'll be going to a pop-up restaurant in Hannamdong that serves Alabama style barbeque. If you're interested, send me an e-mail directly and I'll send you more info :)

Any Korea folks still around? I'm in Gyeongsangnam-do, and can easily travel to Busan/Daegu/(let's be real pretty much anywhere, although Seoul is a bit far for me).

[Jaimie Stettin]
