I’ll be in Fukuoka starting Jan 15 or 16th it seems, but I’ll still be working my American job on central time for the first few months, so I’m not 100% sure what my schedule will be like just yet. 
I imagine it will be wonky with that and getting settled in. Work starts at 10pm JST and goes until 7am, so… it will be interesting. lol
Oh hey! I just took a quick look at your GitHub. Are you doing web dev out in Fukuoka? I was wondering what the market looked like for foreigners over there. Looking to jump away from system admin stuff into web development while I’m in Japan.
I can do anyday but Wednesday I think. Arrival time depends on the book club location too because I’m usually out on Tuesday and Thursday D:
Monday (anytime)
Tuesday (after 4)
Thursday (after 5)
Friday (anytime)
Weekends (anytime)
Ahh, that’s just a small digital resume I was putting together - I’m currently here in Japan for other reasons than I.T. work so I’m not sure about the I.T. job scene, sorry 
I think it would make sense for everyone to meet at first on the weekdays 
I’m personally free on Sunday all day and on Saturday in the mornings until 2pm.
Should we meet in Hakata/Tenjin/Ohori area?
Sounds good to me!
10 am is ok with me! I can probably bike to Seattle’s in 15 min so location is fine too
Which Saturday would you like to meet?
I’m ok with any of the two. Is the plan to meet up to discuss the books we wanna read?
@kuri_nana10 @Aethereas
I’m actually ok with meeting this week…!
The plan is to just meet up and get to know each other, what we would like to read and discuss and how often can the book club thing happen 
The main reason I wanted to start all this is to create a community of people who came to Fukuoka as foreigners and have a reason to spend some quality time together.
Never attempted a bookclub so I guess we can talk about organisation more generally :
- how often we can/want to meet ?
- what book ? do we take turns to pick the book or do we always decide together ?
- do we keep communicating on this forum or another platform ?
and as @novideotape said, just start to know each other 
@novideotape @Aethereas Let say Saturday at 10am at the venue I sent the link
@Suzy-du-Nord are you coming ?
@noxxxxxious we will let you know what has been said and you join whenever you can
I’ll be there!
If anything comes up on the day (late, can’t find my socks, etc.) I’ll post here 
I’m gonna be late - sorry !!
Yea, me too. I’m gonna be around 10-15 min late, sorry!
This was a good idea. Sorry for responding late. This sort of thing could work for me at some point, especially because on Saturdays I work not too far from that area. But there might not be much overlap time, as I’m often trying to get back home to my family around then… hope y’all were able to connect.
If you haven’t been there, I highly recommend the Junkudo bookstore near there.
Hello, everyone! I’ve finally made it to Fukuoka! 
How has everything been going? Was everyone able to meet up and stuff?
Oh hey! Congrats 
How are you finding it so far?
As for the meetings, yep! We’ve met a few times since November, you’re also very welcome to join if you have time on Sunday mornings (we’re doing a short story collection for the next time!)
Enjoying it quite a bit! 
It’s nice not being sardined in-between people like in Tokyo. lol
Awesome! I know I missed this past Sunday, but I’ll be there for this upcoming one!
Yeah I get that! Fukuoka is like a breath of fresh air after Tokyo (maybe even not so figuratively speaking lmao)
We’re planning on meeting 4 weeks from now, on 18th of February. If you wanna get together before that just to meet up and all, maybe some other folks would be up to it too Anyway, do you have a line account? I can add you to the chat!
Yep yep! Will leave this up until I see you’ve added me!
