 |
|
| Just interested in seeing if anyone has gone to the motor show this year. I'm very interested in going. I'm trying to figure out how to get there fastest on Saturday morning. It's open to the public until Sunday and I believe costs 9,000 won for admission. I'm located in Suwon. Are there any express buses or trains that I can take to get over there in West Ilsan? |

yeah I'm going.
There is a Suwon bus to Kintex. Look on the website.
Suwon IC > Kyungbu Highway > Shingal JC > Youngdong Highway -> Ansan JC > Seohaean Highway > Chonam JC > Seoul Outer Circular Highway > Jayuro > KINTEX IC > KINTEX

I wish I could go. I mean, when that commercial comes on and I hear "We gotta do something for Earth" I'm like, "Yeah we do!" and I want to go to the auto show right away.
Run-on sentence for effect. Seriously, every time I hear that commercial's tagline I just crack up. |

If you go by subway, ride the #3 line to either Juyeop or Daehwa Station and get a taxi to Kintex. It won't cost much. You can just say "Kintex" to the taxi driver. If you're hungry, get a bite to eat before you take the taxi. There are plenty of restaurants around both subway stations. In fact, there's a McDonalds practically in the Juyeop station. You enter the Grand Department Store at the subway station level. If you take the escalator up from that side, you are about a block away from Starbucks. Just walk straight at the top of the escalator. On the other side of the street is a KFC and other restaurants. Enjoy!

Dude, there are many people who've never been there and don't know the area that well. Instead of just disagreeing with me, why not tell them how to get there from the subway station? |

I won't bore you with the details of how hard it was to punch that up on Google. |

KINTEX is pretty good about handling big crowds. |

MUCH better than when I was here last time a couple of years ago. They seem to be much more flush with money so about 80% of the cars on display had a model standing next to it. Please do not be another geek with a telephoto lens just taking pics of the girls though. There were a ton of Korean losers already doing that. BMW brought a M1 there and debuted a 1 Series M. GM had a pretty cool display with a flying life-size Camaro, dancing robots and a dance floor where you got swag for making a fool of yourself with their models. VW gave away a flower pot for watching a really lame video about conserving energy. Lots of older Koreans trying to pick up as much swag as possible; usually in the form of large cloth-like bags from the various companies.
DO NOT go on weekends. There is an annoying number of Koreans who bring their kids and want to take pics of junior in a Benz. They are not interested in the cars whatsoever. |
