I drove down the dealership strip, and saw the Bentley dealership, and Porsche dealership. I saw tons of Maserati's, but didn't get pictures of all of them. There are some very nice cars in Seoul!

 

Enjoyed checking out your photos.

Thanks everyone! I had a great time!


Right now I use a Canon Rebel XT. I am looking at upgrading to the 20D or 30D in the future though.

The lenses are also important. In these shots I used either:

Canon 28-135MM Lens
Canon 10-22MM Super Wide Angle Lens


As for the MINI, I have a 05 Jet Black MCS.

 

Well done Connor!
It's been over 10 years ago since I last worked in Korea and I can see a lot of nice changes there in your photos. Your photos were a nice trip down memory lane. I spent a lot of time driving there from Kangnam-gu down south to the semiconductor factories and it's especially nice to see that the car market has opened up properly now. When I was there, Koreans could only purchase a Hyundai, Kia, or Daewoo cars, that's it. They had a few rebaged Acuras and Mercurys, but those sold for >$100k equivilant in USD.

Man I miss the great food there and the warm hearted people, fun times indeed. I envy you!

 

Nice photos - thanks for sharing a bit of your trip with us...
