Since there has been quite a buzz in the community for the past month about this event, I recommend people showing up by 7:15 tonight to get a decent seat. The RAS has recently initiated what we hope to be a new tradition -- pasta and beer at the near-by Jacob restaurant (tel: 734-2030) that offers decent fare at reasonable prices following the lecture. The venue serves as a good way to meet up with others of similar interests. The restaurant is located on the north-south ally that leads from the back entrance to Somerset Palace out on to the main drag. Be there or be square...

It's one of the tallest buildings in its area. VERY easy to find from Anguk if you go out exit 6 and look up.

Go back to http://www.raskb.com/ and click on "Open Lecture" square near the top, then click the first item, "LECTURE VENUE - Change in the RAS Lecture Venue -Somerset Palace, 2nd Floor" -- you'll see map and directions. Anguk Station Exit 6, then walk west (towards Gyeongbok-gung) across the double intersection, continue half a block and its on your left -- before the Hanguk Ilbo Bldg. "It is located the same block of Jogyesa Temple and Jongno-gu Office. It is also the next block of Hankook Ilbo Korea Times and the Japanese Embassy." Greetings from Jinju City, Queen of the South.

The "Possible Selves / Bi-cultural Identity" talk is up there now. I don't know how often a new one will be put up; by the current pace this one by Myers should get up there in six weeks or so...
