I cordially invite you to come out to yet another Seoul meet up in the south eastern part of town. I'm not sure who's in Seoul at this point anymore but lurkers and veterans are all welcome to join me and (whoever else is coming) for some meat and drinks...
... and to celebrate the 9th anniversary of my 21st birthday!! Whee!!
When: Friday, April 15th 2011, 7pm <-- TIME CHANGE!! Where: Meet at Kangnam Station Exit 6 Why: Because meeting up with other TLers is cool. And it's my birthday.
------------------
Please let me know if you think you might be coming just so I can have a head count. Hope to see many of you there!

I just recently ran into the "Funny quotes of lilsusie and tasteless" back in SC1 recently. You guys were awesome. Both of you were funny =B Hope people meet up with you and happy birthday!
I'll be moving to Korea sometime next month, but I do not know what day. If I am in Korea on the 15th, I will definitely be there. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer.
I probably couldn't get there till 1am cuz i work till 10:30p and live in 천안...If it's gonna be an all-nighter then i'd prolly be down...Or if you made it a 2-day event; that'd be better^^
Long time lurkers not allowed to come? Will be in town doing a visiting elective at Seoul National University Hospital. (I'm a student in the USA) If it helps, I'm a friend of Wax.
I'd like to come but I don't really know any of you and my legs still a bit dodgy so I can't really go out partying or anything. But if its just like drinks in a bar and happy birthday type of thing count me in.
Definately looking forward to drinking with all of you. I've never, ever, done a meeting like this and have always been curious how these type of gatherings go.
Never had the chance to socialize and geek it out in a social setting...but then again we'll see
Rekrul. Looking forward to you bring out my huffy laughter. I've read your a awesomely humorous baller

It's usually just like this restaurant ---> Hof -----> ??? Hopefully there will be less torrential rain than last time!
Hi guys Would it be super weird if a lurker wants to join in the fun? I'm a korean living in australia but here for a holiday and it would be awesome if I could join lol!! or does everyone know everyone and I would be like the outsider that noone knows haha
I've been in Korea since 2007 and I leave Korea in the beginning of 2012, so I would be ashamed if I didn't meet anyone from Teamliquid in Korea my whole time here.
I live in Osan so that's about hour 30 mins away from Gangnam/Kangnam, but I'll be on vacation time that day so I wouldn't have to worry about rushing from work and getting to Gangnam.
So happy b-day in advance Susie! I'd be 100% chance of going, but it depends on the plans with my GF. So I'd say 50% chance of me going heh. She's a shy girl so I'd most likely have to go by myself. >,<
Hmmm. If finances are looking good I could maybe cruise over for the weekend. It's pretty conditional, but it would be cool as fuck to hit up a TL party in Seoul... We'll see.
I'll be there, is it ok if I bring some of the members of Girls Generation out as well? Just kidding, it would be a pain going out with them and I want to party on your 9th 21st birthday!
It would be a pain..haha, I don't think that anyone would have any reason NOT to go out with Girls Generation xD Are any of the progamers who're currently in Korea for the World Championship coming as well? Last time I went to the TL meetup was @ IEM Cologne, and there were sooo many progamers there..incredible!
If anyone has a place I can crash that would swing it. PM me about that and I'll run out and fix up a visa and reentry permit. I might be late because I have to work that day, but I'd love to chill for an evening or two.
EDIT: I guess I don't need a visa and a hostel has to be cheap anyways (though if someone has floorspace I'd still prefer that). Count me in. If anyone wants specifically Japanese crap let me know.
I see that quite a few people that don't actually live in Korea are going to be there or are there right now (in Korea). I was just wondering if it was easy to spend a few years there or if it's all vacation and people just going because they want to.

the funny thing is our clan meetup is the very next day in gangnam... not sure if i know people here well enough to come though! happy birthday susie nevertheless!
Long time lurker, just randomly found this thread and decided that I have to meet up with other TLers. I'm sorry, I have no idea who you are Susie, but you seem like a swell girl and I love celebrating birthdays, so please count me in!

For what I know most of them (if not all) are leaving around the 10th so probably not
Now I would be considering to come, however I think it would be probably more worth it to stay at least a week or two. So I should be planning ahead, but right now I have no idea what I should do/visit over there. Another questions are: - does one have to have any special vaccinations - where is a good place to stay (like a hostel or sth.) and how much does it cost - how does one get from the airport to your Party
Yeah, we need to look after the camera more carefully this time -_-;

1) no 2) you can find heaps of cheap hostels on sites like hostelworld.com, most of the ones I've stayed in have been pretty good 3) Just take the bus with the big "Teamliquid" sign directly from the airport***
I'm losing count. =/ I'm gonna assume it'll be like 8 to 11 or 12ish with people coming in and out. I'm gonna cut out of the meet up a bit earlier though, this time. Please call if you will be later than 8 so that I can tell you where we are at the time. four one two one seven four seven seven - with the typical Korean cell phone code in the beginning.

Nah, I ain't coming if it's some half party. I thought it would be more like open fun birthday partying spirit till dawn.
Well I had this trip booked a good few weeks ago but barely gave it much thought until today: oh dayyyum i'm actually flying to south korea in under 40 hours.
looking vmuch forward to meeting a bunch of you nice TLers:D
Damn, I don't think I'm in Seoul next Friday. Oh well, next time there is TL meeting in Korea, I'll try to go. Hopefully take some pics with Jinro and Huk and those TL guys.
Earlyier this week I was booking a trip to the Hospital to finally do something other than moan about my leg and for some reason when asked if I was doing anything on this day I decided to say no. I think I can probabbly still make it because the meet ups not untill 8 O'clock and I think my co-teacher wants to use my bad health as an opportunity to skip out of school early but we'll see. I'll let you know closer to the time, I can probabbly get the appointment moved to since this is Korea.
Shit did Bisu and Jaedong just get drawn against each other in the MSL group selection thats mad. Bisu looks excitted Jaedong looks pissed off, Maybe we can discuss that else where.
Can I come as well susie? I've been living in Korea since 2008 and never had such a great opportunity to meet up with sc2 tl community! It would so great to see you guys there! I'm so lonely here... ㅜㅜ
I live quite far from Gangnam, about 1.5h away (in 파주) or more but definitely can make it by 19!

cheapest method: 1) get out of the airport (i assume incheon) 2) ask where korean air busses to coex mall leave (should be exit 11?) 3) go to said exit 4) buy ticket to coex mall / imperial hotel? should be 15k won 5) take bus to coex mall / imperial hotel? 6) after about 75 minutes exit at imperial hotel and search the nearest busstop for an area map 7) locate the next station of the subway 8) go to subway and take it to gangnam station (should be one stop) - ticket is 1k won? 9) take exit 6 10) ??? 11) you are there ... no profit
easiest method: 1) get out of the airport 2) take cab 3) say "to gangnam subway station 4) pay a quadrillion won 5) ??? 6) you are there ... DEFINITELY no profit
Note that the directions may not be 100% accurate as i wrote them from mind. If you really going, please check back and write me a PM, so i can give you a more detailed description
There's a bus that goes to the Gangnam bus station directly from the airport and I think it was $16 two years ago. You can walk 2 blocks to the subway from there.
Taxis are stupid cheap. Me and Zatic took a cab from Suwon to Gangnam and it was like $30, wtf.
Ok, thanks for your help, though I'm not coming this time due to change of plans. However I definitely want to visit Korea one day. Maybe next year I'll drop by. So happy birthday Susie and everyone enjoy the party!
After a couple of failed attempts to buy a ticket with cash I decided to dash the plan. I'm going to take the ferry in 2 weeks, which should be easier.
Oh wow theres a direct bus from my little town to Gagnam station thats pretty useful. My legs not been that great this week (actually really strugerling) but with a direct bus starting at my town I can definately get a seat and sit down the whole way. I'll wear some blacked out glasses and pretend to fall asleap so I can ignore all the Agimas who come and stand next to me expecting me to get up and give me a horrible look because I can't explain I have a bad leg to them 나는 다리(를?) 아프다?
Oh jeez, THIS Friday! I thought it was last friday and was kicking myself. 7 PM it is!
Greg_J, that's awful man. Try 다리를 다쳤어요. They don't take that? They answer to us >.<
Fo' reals, though. If you would like someone to back you up in the native tongue, there are enough Korean-speaking TLers who should be more than willing!
I'm the laziest guy on the planet I just don't think I am cut out for learning languages. All the teachers at my school are really helpful and happy to help me out when I ask which is cool ^^. Any surport would be apreciated but what I need really is someone to just stand behind me and crack me around the head a couple of times a day and tell me to get off my ass and do some work. maybe just slightly before I've watched seven epsiodes of something and wasted the whole day.
Actually when I first moved here I had no internet for 2 weeks and studied so hard probabbly half the Korean I know (not a lot) comes from that 2 week exposure to no internet. Maybe I should disconect my internet for 2 hours a day or something.Actually maybe I should just sign up for lessons that would force me to more.
Anyway see ya all tomorrow I'll be the white guy limping around using a unbrella to take his wait all the time.
I should be there tonight. My gf wants to come along though... haha she hates anything to do with Starcraft though >,< I told her it's mainly a group of Starcraft players, but she wants to come anyways.
Just come. Whatever. The invite says for everyone to come so just come, stop asking questions. My number is listed in the OP. Call if you will be late. I am not waiting long, be there by 7.
Haha... me and Doa left early to catch the subway and still didn't catch the last transfer train.. we had to catch a cab with a couple guys who luckily were going to the same area and one of whom knew a little English. They saved our butts.
Happy birhtday, looks like a good time; sorry me and jon couldn't make it. we literally didn't get in until late yesterday and had a rough time traveling + things that needed to be seen to. either way <33
Great meeting up with all of you guys!! I was the asian guy in the suit who got abit excited throughout the whole night lol. What happened to everyone who went to hong dae? I got in a later cab and got off at hong dae station but I couldn't see anyone...so I circled around like 5 blocks and caught a cab back to an anma in kang nam on the recommendation of the cab driver but SO disappointed...lets just say it was a fucking waste of my 200 bucks for a fucking shitty sex with an average chick and the only meal they give you is instant noodles...Damn I was hoping someone like Rekrul could point me in the right direction for a good anma but alas he disappeared way too soon =( anyway I met some awesome people last night and it would be cool to catch up again...in GSL or something
Tony, you've reached your goal! congratz! I got to Sinchon with Martin and as he went home (cuz he lives like a few blocks away from there) I wandered around the place for a while and tried to find a bus to get home but all buses were finished by then ㅜㅜ. So I got a taxi that cost me like 45,000W! and I got home after 3am....
This is Lucas btw.
I've had a great time last night! Awesome people were there and so many names I just don't remember-sorry. Susie, I'm really glad I had a chance to meet you. You're such a wonderful person. I'm still impressed how passionate you were about the sc community and stuff like that last night. Big props to you Susie!

ATOM HYUNG! you left wayy too early =(
Tony! Im the swede that got in the early cab.. We waited for you guys at hong dae station for like 40 mins. So we left after a while.
Im going to most gsl's next week, hope to see you there!
Yeah we waited at the Hongdae station quite long, afterwards we went to a PC bang until ~3:30AM. Afterwards I went to Burger King to wait for the first subway to go back to Incheon and had quite some fun there with some drunken weirdos ^^
Hey guys! I got off at Hong Dae station but I might have got off at the wrong side or something...I was so disappointed!! I made a thread here and it would be awesome to meet up with you guys again!! lets set a date and go for dinner, etc. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=213525
