Went to the Expo on the 3rd day ( till the 5th day )...
We have to queue up to go in, like the sheeps in farm? ( well, the fence makes us look like animals though )
and they have security check and you cannot bring water inside just like airport..( can be refilled inside expo ).

my pass to the Expo!

It's freaking HOT that day. Look at the temperature. 31 Celsius. FOL

Bought an umbrella outside de Expo, which is damn hard to open. fml.

Lupu Bridge ( 卢浦大桥 ) behind us!

Use bus, train or ferry to get around the Expo. We use mainly bus, train and legs.

There are a lot of pavilions to be visited and it's impossible to cover all in 3 days.
So we only pick those that has good reviews.
and if the queue is not that long, then we'll pay a quick visit.

We decided to tackle the case pavilions ( 案例馆 ) on the first day.

Hong Kong - ok la

Love the shadows... ( forgot what case pavilion is this. =X )

Got my first chop on my Expo 'passport' at Pavilion of Future. Nice. I mean both pavilion and the chop

Say hi to red kungfu man

Hamburg House. No free hamburger though..

London Case Pavilion

Like this place with all the greens and whites...with infusion of technology

Huge-ass projector screens

Went to the other pavilions in the afternoon..

Oh Hi Malaysia! There you are.

Not bad la, stil got a handful of people to queue up for it. But we have IC so we can get through the express land. yeeha!

to be frank, it sucks. *roll eyes

Nasi Lemak for 35Yuan anyone? That's around RM17 for just a plate of nasi Lemak. 10 times the price back in M'sia. FYL haha

The ugliest pavilion - Iceland. Didnt go inside though

super high-way

Denmark. Didnt go in

well, i couldn't possibly do this with ck. haha

Netherlands - the most humble pavilion? sacrificed itself so that we can get good shoots of the other pavilions beside it. ( especially UK Pavilion! )

UK pavilion - by far this is my favourite. I mean, I didn't go in but design-wise, i think this is the prettiest

Poland - Got special VIP pass from Jimmy's fren who is working there. no need queue! yay! Nothing much actually but I like the lighting effect

Queued up for France Pavilion. er..nothing to see.

Saudi Arabia - only for those willing to queue 7 hours for it. heard that it's good

Korea - colorful. but i won't spend hours to queue for it too

some other pavilions...Top right is Africa's, bottom right is taiwan. No idea on the rest

Went to Israel pavilion with Ck ( Jimmy n Ning went for Japan PAvilion which im not willing to spend 2-3hours queueing for it ). And I think it's surprisingly good. The video is awesome.

the tall building on the left ( partially hidden by the middle tower on the right ) is The Iconic Shanghai world Financial tower ( yes, I googled the name haha ) which looks like a bottle opener
