Gwangju Spring Flower Expo: March 26th - April 4th.



The Gwangju Spring Flower Expo (광주봄꽃박람회) will run from Friday, March 26th, through April 4th at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center. It's billed as the "Earliest flower Show in Korea". Both the website and the online brochure (.pdf file) are generally unhelpful with specifics, though it does look like there will be topiaries, various gardens, and yodeling from the Gwangju Berner Oberland Yodel Club (광주오버란드요델클럽). Their message board says they'll perform on the 3rd at 4:00 pm and the 4th at 1:00 pm.

The convention center is accessible via the subway stop of the same name, tickets cost 5,000 won for adults, and the expo will run from 10:00 am through 6:00 pm those ten days. You'll find photos of years past via a Naver search.

Great...even though you're living back home now you still know more about what's going on here that I do. That's pretty amusing but you are so helpful. I will try and check out that exhibition soon.

Thanks Roy, I hope you have a good time.

It's harder to write about Korea from back home, and harder to keep myself motivated to do it, but I've always taken an interest in the stuff going on locally and enjoy covering it.

You're some kind of crazy, expat saint. Thank you, good sir.

I take that as nearly the highest compliment.

You're welcome.
