I’m in Korea again, three years after my previous trip. It’s my first visit to a Korean trade event though, and there’s probably no better place to start than the biennial Seoul Motor Show (on April 10), with beautiful cars and promo models.

Leaving the place after four and a half hours
Seoul Motor Show was held at Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX), a huge venue in Goyang City, 60 minutes of subway ride from central Seoul. The major themes this year seem to be electric cars and recreational vehicles.
Haven’t done photography for a while, forgotten so many basics. Should have carried along better gears – flash is essential, and perhaps a telephoto lens too – the pictures could have been better. It’s a fun experience regardless.
