Follow Josh on TwitterMeet up in Seoul
I'm safely in Japan (Osaka to be precise) and am heading off to my first round of meetings today. I've been Skyping and connecting with no problems, which is a joy -- although I have to admit that I am having Blackberry withdrawl.
Some of you inquired if I will be going to South Korea and the good news is, yes!
I've arranged so that we can have a small gathering for lunch in Seoul on Friday, September 15th at 12pm, near the Grand Intercontinental Hotel. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to me at cli@forrester.com and I'll send you the details.
Similar to the get-together in Tokyo, I'll have some short comments about my current research, but I'd also like to learn as much as possible from you about how social computing and search is used in South Korea.
So hope to see you there!
I wish you all the luck in the world in Seoul. It is the one place in the world I hope I never have to go to again. Despite having interpreters, it seemed like another planet, not just another country. And do watch out for the n-course banquet. They like to treat honoured guests to monkey brains. Not for the faint hearted.

Dennis: Relative lack of English speakers in Korea -- maybe right. (But then what about in France, Mexico, etc?) Monkey brain -- you probably watched those Indiana Jones reruns too many times.

Enjoy Japan. I am fortunate enough to go there a fair bit because my wife is Japanese. Konnichiwa
