Here are the main groups for Gwangju and Jeollanam-do that I'm aware of and that merit posting. Some I've left off on purpose, occassionally because the administrator was a dick to me, but usually because they're small social clubs among friends, not really created for the purpose of recruiting members Likewise some aren't here because they don't get updated, and some have probably just evaded my notice. Feel free to add your own as a comment.

There are a couple groups for Suncheon but they never get used or updated. If you're in Suncheon or coming here, join the Yahoo mailing list instead. Actually, I'm disappointed that Suncheon is so poorly represented on Facebook. Maybe it's finally time to put my Suncheon Trading Card Club online.

Brian,
Nice article - but nicer cards. What exactly are you getting for manwon? Does it say anywhere?
I know Seoul has their own list of Facebook groups - that they number in the dozens makes each group so small and fragmented; the larger-oriented groups don't always or necessarily mix. A few do meet up in person though...
This is one thing I'm not satisfied with the Samsung camera I use. It takes shitty pictures of things close up, and it's nearly impossible to photograph text. I can't even focus on things close up, so these pictures and the picture of the misspelled immigration card in the Japan post were taken with my cell phone.
The 10,000 won is just the charge of delivery (출장비). I don't really collect the cards, but I picked up a few in Gwangju with an eye toward eventually using them in a post.
Yes, very nice cards.
Facebook is actually for once an underrated resource. It's hard to find the good groups, but once you do, you'll find some worthwhile information. Daegu is fairly well represented.
Regarding Dave's ESL: It's a hangout for losers and morons, and I've spent the past week seeing how many enemies I could make by simply stating facts. Turns out, there's a LOT of enemies to be made by simply stating facts.
Brian,
I wanted to ask you a few things:
Did you take the fast boat from Fukuoka to Pusan? How was it? I tend to feel sick on boat rides.
Do you know anyone down your way that would be into an occational apartment swap? I really would like to get out of Seoul sometimes (really really), but dont want to stay in a love motel or pay more than that for a tourist hotel.
Whoa you got Yada Akiko rookie card! She's proven to be a real talent ever since they brought her up from the minors.
There is also a Naju Facebook group as well.
