Hi! I know there are a ton of community centers around Gwangju. Baku opened one, but I can’t remember what part of town. Also, I think all the districts have centers that have libraries, activities, lessons, and community rooms for rental.
Can we add a special subsection under “Living in Gwangju” that lists all the community centers, big and small, in Gwangju?
Just an idea.
Is there an email address to contact to inquire about the yoga?
