I finally got around to making it to the World Expo at Shanghai (上海世博 - literally: Shanghai World Museum) after many weeks of studying, hanging out with cool people, and doing other more interesting things. I don't really like tourist places unless they have something really neat and unique to offer. I like to learn about the history of places and go see them, just without the crowds and the repeated items everywhere. Why would they ever want to make a 1000 copies of the same necklace?
What made it even cooler is that I got to go with a very special person: my Mom! 100 years from now, we will look back on this event and commemorate it as being a very special day. Out of the 200 pavilions offered at the Expo, we managed to get into about 6 of them: Poland, some chinese metal industy, Africa, Colombia, USA (with our flashy VIP status), aaaaand Luxembourg. All the other lines were at least a 2 hour wait. Why would anyone ever want to stand in line for 2 hours, much less 6 hours for some of the pavillions!!?!?! That's just crazy.
I'm tired, so I'm going to hold off from describing it for now. ;) peace.
