Sizzling Shanghai (Part 2)

We spent almost a whole day at the Shanghai Expo 2010. We got there just as it opened at 10am. Most of the expo is on the Pudong side, with a smaller section on the Puxi side (Pudong and Puxi represent respectively the areas to the east and west of the Huangpu river that cuts through Shanghai).



Overall a very impressive showcase, and as might be expected, with throngs of people visiting.  I reckon this could become the most visited Expo ever! Here's a selection of photos from our day at the Expo ...
Photo (1) : At the China pavilion (didn't go in as the queue was about 4 hours long)


Photo (2) : I love the architectural designs !

Photo (3) : At the Malaysian pavilion. Negara ku .......


Photo (4) : Some shots with the Malaysian dancers performing outside



Photo (5) : We didn't go in but sampled some Malaysian fare outside. Alas, taste not so sedap.


Photo (6) : This is the Singapore pavilion, supposedly shaped like a music box

Photo (7a) : No Sinos, I haven't returned to Siem Reap. This is within the Cambodia pavilion.


Photo (7b) : The Kingdom of Cambodia pavilion

Photo (8) : G'day mate, here's the Aussie pavilion


Photo (9) : With Cisco colleagues in the Estonia pavilion


Photo (10) : In front of the Latvia pavilion


Photo (11a) : UK Pavilion


Photo (11b) : Standing outside the UK pavilion


Photo (12) : Finally, with a colleague outside the Cisco pavilion


Well, there are obviously many, many more pavilions and sights that I won't be able to show ... so if you do have a chance, go visit it yourself. The Shanghai Expo 2010 continues till October 2010.
