World Expo in Shanghai. It's not everyday you get to see a world expo and it was an amazing feeling just standing amongst the elaborate buildings and the hundreds of thousands of people. The weather was stinking hot but Shanghai tried their best to keep peoples cool by installing sprinklers and shade all over the expo grounds and above the long queues. We didn't see many of the so called "BIG" named pavilions as none of us are that way inclined, to stand in 4 hour queues was not why we were there. We just wanted to soak up the atmosphere and see whatever opened up for us. We did however see Australia Pavilion blasting through the queue (at dinner time) in an amazing 20 minutes maximum.
Made me proud, they did a wonderful job. Funny to see everyone aghast when they found out about our low population. We also had an aussie dinner there, tasty! Another night saw us fine dining in Luxembourg pavilion, a refined experience in China :-)
We explored Expo for three days in total and around those days we explored the rest of Shanghai!
The Bund at night was even busier than Expo but is a sight to behold.
Lingering around the alleyways of TianziFang....always a treat!
I love Shanghai to visit and I can see why many expats decide to make Shanghai their home....There are many of the comforts from our homelands to be found there,but, I think I couldn't live the life...Always great to come back to Yichang.
