20101022 Shanghai Expo (5: Bits and pieces)

There were long queues outside most of the pavilions! Due to overwhelming response, the authorities also stopped new crowds from joining the queue at the more popular pavilions such as China and Germany. Although we spent 5 hours at Shanghai Expo, most of the time was spent outside the pavilions. It is impossible to visit all the pavilions in one day!

Bye Shanghai Expo!


With this post, I completed what I wanted to blog about my Shanghai work trip. Do pardon the quality of photos as most of them were taken in low light. You know lighting is very important for a good picture, yah!

Cambodia or rather, Ang Kor Wat is one of the 'must visit' place on my wish list. 








20101022 Shanghai Expo (3: Cradle of civilization)

The first pavilion that we visited is Turkey. My Istanbul colleague, Sibel, explained to us about her home country's history. Turkey is well known for its architecture and arts. Historical buildings and art galleries are my cup of tea ; I hope I will have the chance to visit this country one day.

I can tell that the performers were freezing in the cold but they still put up such a wonderful performance for us! Kudos to them!
