Kyoto meetup! :) - Zorlee - 2013-02-04

Instead of derailing the "Do you ever feel bad that... (方言 discussion)" thread further, I figured I could just start a new thread Smile
Anyway, there are several members on here living in Kyoto, so wouldn't it be fun with a get-together? I'm thinking beer! But if you don't drink, no problem! Smile
Just throwing out some dates - I'm free Monday - Wednesday next week (11th - 13th), so if we could fix something on one of those days, that would've been cool Smile

Even though I'm starting this thread, I gotta say - I really do NOT know Kyoto, so it would be hot if someone in the know (Tzadeck anyone??) could recommend a good place (bar / izakaya).

Looking forward to see you guys! Everyone's invited! Big Grin

Hey! Yeah, I'm down with this idea.

I'm busy Monday, but I could do Tuesday or Wednesday. Tuesday is a bit better for me just because I work later on Wednesdays usually.

And yeah, I know Kyoto pretty well so I could recommend some places. Best to get an idea of how many we have first I think.


Kyoto meetup! :) - Rayath - 2013-02-04

I'm busy on Wednesday, but Tuesday is okay, as long as it's from 18:00 or later. Smile


Kyoto meetup! :) - Zorlee - 2013-02-05

Cool, let's go with Tuesday then Smile
Is 19:00 a good time to start?
I live north of Kyoto Uni, but anywhere around Sanjo / Shijo / central Kyoto is fine with me!


Kyoto meetup! :) - Rayath - 2013-02-05

It would be nice if it would be in a walking distance from Kawaramachi eki, but if something a lot better is a little further, I can live with it. Smile


Kyoto meetup! :) - Tzadeck - 2013-02-06

Tuesday at 7 is fine with me.

Yeah, we could meet somewhere in the Sanjo/Shijo/Kawaramachi area. Since we'll be a pretty small group we can talk about what kind of restaurant/bar we want and head there. No need for reservations or anything. Since it's 7 I assume we'll be eating too?

Maybe we can meet at Sanjo-Keihan Station in front of the subway ticket gates? It's simple because there is only one subway gate. Kawaramachi Station is a bit more difficult for meeting people who you don't know since there are more people and a lot of different ticket gates and exits.

Also, of course, if anyone else wants in let us know!

I'm coming back to portugal until the 4th of march, do you guys think you could meet after that date too?

No problem. Smile

CarolinaCG, if it will be fun there's no reason not to repeat it. Smile


Kyoto meetup! :) - Zorlee - 2013-02-07

No problem! Smile

One thing though, I just realized that I double booked this day >_<
I'm going to an onsen with some friends during the day but I don't think we'll be there longer than 5-6. However, if I run a bit late it would've been nice to have an e-mail or something to contact you guys. I'll send you guys an e-mail with my contact info.
Most likely there won't be any problems, but I just wanted to let you guys know to be on the safe side! Sorry!

I'm an hour and a half from Kawaramachi and work Mon-Fri but if this ever happens on a weekend I could show up. 8)


Kyoto meetup! :) - JimmySeal - 2013-02-07

I'd like to join in if I'm welcome. Anywhere along shijo is the most convenient for me, but sanjo is fine too.

Yeah.. I'm in England until the 26th of Feb too...


Kyoto meetup! :) - Tzadeck - 2013-02-11

Okay, see everyone at the Sanjo-Keihan Subway ticket gates at 7:00! Anyway we can let other people know it's us? Haha. I'm blonde, at any rate, so that helps.

If anyone else is going to be late or anything you can pm us and we can get in touch. I have an iPhone so I can check my e-mail and this website easily if anything comes up.

Yeah, please come!

Wish i could join ya, but i'm 9501km away from Kyoto Sad

Hope it's a good night though!!!


Kyoto meetup! :) - Tori-kun - 2013-02-11

Goes without saying, but make sure to take pictures and show us Big Grin


Kyoto meetup! :) - Zorlee - 2013-02-12

Cool! See you then Smile
I'm blond as well, and will probably be wearing a black jacket and a colorful scarf!

And I'd love for you to join us Icecream and Tori-kun! Let's have a meet-up in Europe sometime Big Grin


Kyoto meetup! :) - Tzadeck - 2013-02-12

I'll be wearing jeans, a gray coat (a pea coat), and a purple/gray/white scarf.


Kyoto meetup! :) - JimmySeal - 2013-02-12

Hey folks,
There's a high likelihood I won't be able to make it today. Something urgent has come up at work. I really wanted to go, but if I don't make it, don't wait around for me. Have a great time, and I hope there will be another meetup before too long.


Kyoto meetup! :) - Zorlee - 2013-02-12

No prob man!
Of course, it would've been awesome if you could make it, but don't stress it! Smile

I concur, take some pics for us. Wish I was in Japan to attend. :\


Kyoto meetup! :) - Tzadeck - 2013-02-13

Kyoto meetup was a success! The four of us went to an izakaya and had a lot of fun.

I didn't take any pictures, but if I remember correctly someone took a picture of the food or something along those lines? When we briefly talked about it we decided we didn't really want a picture of our faces on the forum. Next time maybe we'll try to catalogue at least the food and scenery better!

Anyway, I hope to do it again, especially when more people are around.

I second that. Are there any members here that are living in Berlin/near Berlin? If so, contact me Smile


Kyoto meetup! :) - Zorlee - 2013-02-13

Yeah, the meetup was a success! It was awesome to meet you guys Smile
Hope to do it again with even more people from here Smile


Kyoto meetup! :) - Rina - 2013-03-10

Back to Kyoto! Anyone up to take a coffee?


Kyoto meetup! :) - Tzadeck - 2013-03-10

I'm traveling until the 16th, but I'll be around after that. Smile
