What's up, everyone! This is @ramengirl! I recently hosted a global meetup in Busan, South Korea for the first time! I received much feedback before the meetup that it's going to be difficult to attend for the meetup this time because a lot of people are going to Olympic Games in Pyeongchang and also it was Chinese new year holiday :( But so many people came to Busan for the meetup so I was very impressed!!
For this global meetup, there was Steemians from Korea, United States, Canada, Japan! Especially I want to say thanks to @shogo who came from Japan for attending this meetup!! Also @ludorum, @romi, @successtrainer, @siritable who came from Seoul to Busan!

Three hours before the meetup I headed to the table setter which is the place for the meetup. With the help of @dobdirection, we took out the draft beer machine, and also prepared simple snacks such as fruits and cookies :)

Steemians started to show up and I gave people the name tag and also this cute little Snoopy bag that @fuelbuddy sponsored. This bag is a real product that sold in Japan!! @fuelbuddy Thank you so much once again for your sincerity!

The atmosphere of the meetup was like a festival!! Yesss we had our own little Steemfest in Busan ;) Some people felt awkward at the beginning because they're not used to parties but they got used to it right away and had a good time.

We also created a fun game that guessing what was the price of Steemit on February 1st, 2017 which is almost a year ago! The winner gets 10 Steem! Guess what was the answer? ;)

Wow, it looked like you guys had so much fun, well done @ramengirl! Would the next one be in Seoul? Lol.
Heyyy @rea!!!! Actually, I'm thinking about that there days!! Can't wait for next SteemFest to see you!! I miss you guys!! <3
This meetup looks like so much fun! Good job organizing your first one! You could be an event planner! Even the food looks good. I definitely want to go next time if I know about it in time.

I wanted to ask you a question actually. How do you manage the budget of the meetups? Do you ALL contribute or someone sponsers it?
Hello, @himshweta!! Actually, we didn't need a big budget because the place we had meetup was owned by one of my Steemian friends!! He offered us a place for the meetup, and also we got the little bit of participation fee from people for drinks!! And I paid the rest of budget!! :D
conggratulation, good job my friend @ramengirl. im very like this post, thank you
