Man, I look like an idiot in downtown Seoul today...

I saw a taxi that had a HUGE "BBC Top Gear" ad down the side of it. Sadly, my camera was in the bag and I quickly tried to snatch it out, but he started moving away from me. I started SPRINTING down the sidewalk to get a picture of it, but alas I ran into a big group of older ladies who held me up too long so I did not get the shot.

I will try again later, but I thought that was pretty wild to see such a thing in Korea.

It seems TG is popular everywhere. I was watching the WRC coverage and it was amusing to see BBC Top Gear boards on the side of the track.

These were ads for the Korean and Greek editions of the magazine, respectively. One day, I might post the ads I've got from countries around the world, some of them are quite funny...
