Shanghai Day 2 - World EXPO
Monday, July 19, 2010


Regretted not buying the 160RMB day tix in Sg…so we had to wake up at 530am to queue up for the ticket. Sequence of getting into the EXPO is as follows:

630am- start queuing for the entrance tix
8am – Counter open
815am – bought the ticket, start queuing for the entrance
10am – passed the security check
10am – had lunch at Singapore pavilion. U can ask y we ate at Sg pavilion, we were too hungry n there’s no queue

Did I mentioned we stood from 630 to 10am. Some ppl bought chairs at 15RMB. The rest of us just squeeze together (imagine the sweaty arms!! )Trying to cut Q and create personal breathing space, pushing here and there…..i would say it’s a good experience. U just got to be rowdy there.

1030am – got ourselves into Singapore Pavilion through the back door n found that it is such a disappointment…really pity those who had to Q for 2 hours just to get inside to watch a 7min MTV.




Singapore/Malaysia Pavilion


For those who want to go to the China Pavilion, have to start queuing @ the entrance at 5am…this is madness, this is China. We went to pavilions with little or no q, or Qs that move very fast – Italy, Philippines, Holland, Tunisia, Africa, Brazil, NZ, Singapore,Sri Lanka, Pakistan. Pavilions with super long Qs are England (4 hours) , Japan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia. I think basically it’s either its too beautiful inside or its just crowd control less than adequate.

In conclusion, EXPO is definitely not for the weak. Its hot (but there’s water cooler @ accessible locations) . Be prepared to stand and squeeze and feel “China!!”

China - at night. It is the biggest pavilion, although be did not get to see it, we sneaked a peek from the exit. basically lots of history and icons of china.


Spain



The Philippines


One of the restin areas...alot of ppl are zzzzz by noon...





Africa:

Lets learn a new country - Latvia!

NZ Pavilion which reminds me of ADM building back here at NTU Singapore…

Italy Pavilion – the best , its like MOMA, and the service crew had uniform designed by Prada






Holland – not very nice, but we can oversee the rest of the Pavilions from here. Like England!
