Hello! May is here~! Which means my holiday is coming! In one week's time.. This will be my longest trip so far (10days)
Shanghai shanghai I'm coming!!
Prepared and excited about the trip? You bet I am. Went into the Virtual Tour of the Expo (www.expo.cn) trying to see what's happening in the different pavilions.. This will be the largest World Expo held so far. Of cos, Chinese ppl like 面子.. so regardless how much needed to build this expo, they just throw in the money and indeed a wide eye-opener to the world. Now, Shanghai is the centre of attraction after much fanfare.. It's indeed a time for the world to know China and China to open up the business to the whole world..
And thanks to ASA, they did a countdown of the number of days to World Expo 2010 on TV.. So a good countdown for me as well. I had been religiously reading my Straits Times, especially when they wrote about the World Expo, I ensure that I do my homework well enuf. And as it is the first week of opening (Day 2 as we speak), huge crowds were seen queuing into different pavilions. Newspapers mentioned that popular pavilions like Japan and Taiwan, will require a queue of 4hrs to get in. For Singapore Pavilion, it will take abt 1hr to get in. OMG.. I dare not think about the queue to the China Pavilion.. Heard that it requires advanced booking on that day of visit in order to go in and see. The whole world is going to Shanghai~~!!
Well, let's see.. as me and YX are going on a F&E trip, we had set aside 2-3 days for the Expo.. Till then, updates later~!!
Looking forward.. Definitely.
