Shanghai Expo = long lines. From the entrance to the pavillions to the buses to the food - you have to queue up for everything! We only went to a few exhibits and China, Italy, and Turkey are our clear favorites. Here's the jaw dropping section of Italy:


Cool right?? The entire orchestra's on the wall! There's lots more cool bits of surprises inside the pavillion. The 1 1/2 hour wait was worth it for this country.

And the moving painting of China is definitely something to see. It depicts the busy everyday lives of a town during the olden days and every single person moves along the huge painting. Couldn't tear my eyes away from it. Here's a clear photo, but it's probably better appreciated through video.

We were in the Expo for 3 days and it's easy to get worn out by the crowds. An aunt who's part of the tour succinctly said (in Fookien of course): "You'd regret not going, but you'd regret it more if you did." I don't share the same sentiments right now, but when I was under the hot sun shoving my way through people or waiting impatiently (and sweating buckets) in the never ending line, I had the exact thought in mind.
