Here are two more preview pictures of my China trip. I attended the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai China. The place was huge as every country has their own pavilion to showcase the country. It was not as interesting as I hoped however as it seems to be catered more towards local people in China as opposed to appealing to foreigners. The wait for some of the pavilions were also extremely long which makes the attraction a lot less attractive. The more popular pavilions such as the China pavilion pictured below, Saudi Arabia, and Japan had a wait time of up to 4-6 hours. That is way too long of a wait in line to see something for 20 minutes. For local people in China who don’t get a chance to travel to other countries, it may be worthwhile.  I didn’t go into too many pavilions since I was not willing to wait more than 1 hour. There are so many people at the expo that the normal wait time for a pavilion is about 1-2 hours. The structures were very impressive so I chose to just enjoy most of the pavilions from the outside instead.
