Jochiwon is located in South Chungcheong Province. As of 2011, Jochiwon has a large foreign community consisting of native English speakers considering its rather small size and population. This is due to the existence of two major universities: Hong-ik University and Korea University Korea University Sejong Campus, both satellite campuses. In addition to the universities, there are numerous public schools.

Many of the foreign teachers that work in Jochiwon live in the Chim-san-ri neighborhood where you will find numerous restaurants, mini-markets, bars, karaoke room businesses, batting cages and other games, internet cafes, apartments, bakeries, markets and a park. The estimated native English foreigner contingency is 50.

Jochiwon is centrally located on Korail's Gyeongbu line. It is a 90-minute ride on Mugunghwa-ho to Seoul and trains run approximately every 30 minutes. Just outside Jochiwon town limits is the town of Osong home to Osong Station, a station with KTX service.

Jochiwon is conveniently located between three major South Korean cities: Daejeon, Cheonan and Cheongju. Each offers access to creature comforts (Western chain restaurants and shopping) that cannot be found in Jochiwon.


Famous People
gollark: I don't really agree with Chinese room arguments.
gollark: Photonic ML hardware is apparently beginning to exist and is very efficient, so that could help in a few years.
gollark: There is apparently work on accursed optics things for the displays, and batteries... are harder, but maybe minimising power use with more efficient hardware can be done.
gollark: Enough minor conveniences stacked together gives a useful product. And you can fit smartphone SoCs into slightly bulky glasses - there are already AR devkits doing this. The main limitation is that the displays aren't very good and it is hard to fit sufficient batteries.
gollark: Also, you could sort of gain extra senses of some possible value by mapping things like LIDAR output (AR glasses will probably have something like that for object recognition) and the local wireless environment onto the display.
