Studying go in Beijing…
It’s been about a year since my last post. I’m heading to Beijing tomorrow for an intensive go study program. I understand twitter and facebook are blocked there, so I may post a few updates on this blog again.
For those interested, the go study program I’m enrolled in is 5 hours/day, 6 days/week for 2 months. The primary teachers are 9dan amateurs from Beijing University. Professional go teachers will be joining as well. You can read more about the program at www.experience-go.com
The program lets you choose whether you want to study 4, 5, or 6 days per week. It also lets you choose 1 or 2 months. I thought I’d be among the select few hardcore enough to choose the 6 days/week for 2-months option, but according to one of the coordinators that’s actually the option that most people chose. It sounds like I’ll be among good company with a similar love and intensity for go.
It sounds like they plan on taking us sight seeing for a couple days while we’re there, but I’ve honestly never been much of a tourist so don’t expect many photos.
