As probably some readers already know my current plan is to study Weiqi in China due to the possibility of gaining a language scholarship there due to me finishing my BA degree in Chinese this summer so I have been busy filling out the forms required to apply for it.
The desired area where I want to go is Tianjin/Beijing area as there is probably the biggest concentration of Weiqi schools to go to. I will be contacting the Zhongguo Qiyuan shortly and inquire about study possibilities. I'll report those back once I know more about.
Right now I have completed a important step towards a longterm visa and the scholarship subsequently as I have passed the health check with flying colours.
Time left until going to China: 6 Months
To do:
- Submit scholarsip application
- aquire student visa
- Contact Zhongguo Qiyuan
- find a Weiqi school to study in
- have a plan B rental apartment option in case no scholarship is aquired
- study more Chinese
- study more more Weiqi

Two new Baduk schools for foreigners
As on Wbaduk News many might not notice this article I will put a copy here:
"Korean players dominate the professional go scene these days and now amateurs have some new opportunities to study with top Korean pros. The Yang Jae-Ho Baduk Dojang is recruiting foreign players to study go in Korea. The dojang, or training center, plans to offer English-speaking instructors, and the pro instructor roster — in addition to founder Yang Jae-Ho (l) — includes Yi Sang-Hun 9P, An Dal-Hun 8P and Yi Jung-Wu 7P. The Dojang currently houses over 80 students and school founder Yang Jae-Ho 9P is the director of the Korean team for the Asian Games. Accommodation and training at the Dojang is 750 Euro/$1000 US per month; a 10% discount is available to groups, or students staying for over three months. Cultural excursions are also included in the deal. In Australia, the Young Go Academy in Sydney is run by a Korean professional, An Young-Gil 8P. In addition to An, there are four other instructors, two pros and two strong amateurs; Yu Kyung-Min 6P, who won several titles in Taiwan, including the Chung-hwan Cup, Kim Hyun-Sup 2P, who has recently been in the Korean league, Jang-Bi, the amateur 7-dan who spent a year teaching at the Seattle Go center and won many titles in the U.S., and 24-year-old Lim Mi-Jin, a strong amateur female player. Though the Young Go Academy is smaller than Yang Jae-Ho, it also offers teaching in English, and due to the number of teachers, students are guaranteed more individual attention. Accommodation and training at the Young Go Academy is 800 Euro/$1100 US per month; a 10% discount is available to groups or students staying for over three months and cultural excursions are also offered as part of the package. For more information on either school, contact Sang-Dae Hahn sdhahn@gmail.com"
This provides new options for us potential Baduk addicts. :)
