Back from Shanghai


I'm back from shanghai expo, have to say that the Expo is good but not the people. Throughout the 3 days I've seen magnificent structures, beautiful pavillions but disappointed by the visitors. 500k daily, thats what the officials said but what it seems to me was that 490k are chinese who are partially well, not very much educated in terms of moral values. You can pretty much see queue cutting very often and most of the time, I find myself trapped in a group of "Aunties" who created noise. On the whole, I still feel Expo is a job well done......correction, relatively good job done.













Expo entrance

Besides the Chinese, Saudi Arabian, Japanese, Korean, German, Taiwan, Indian pavillions, I practically went to all others. Cool right? No, its time wasting and some of these pavillions are lacking contents and decorations.
Australian pavillion is by far one of the best I've seen. It has this super cool 360 degrees rotating screens with a center stage that shows different sculptures changing during the show without us knowing.
