World Expo 2010 Vol. I

Finally, I'm safe and sound back to KL!

Well, I know everyone is eager to see what I brought back from Shanghai, yeap, I had taken more than 500 photos for the whole trip! One of the trips that I had taken the most photos in a trip, or more precisely, in an exhibition!

I had never seen so many people flocking into the same place at the same time for the same reason! It's more than A-Mei's concert that only have 30,000 audience, guess what! There are 8 main entrance gates for visitors and when we were lucky to be in the least visitors'gate, but still with about 1,000 travel coach in one open space carpark!

And the photo I captured was only one of the 40 bus parking bays for the whole expo!

Alright, now comes the time after a good Q-up of 20 minutes as we are holding the more privileged tickets which is RMB 900 that good for 7 repeated visits.

one of the first pavilions is our neighboring country - Sawadeekrap!

Thailand!

As it's too near to us and I had visited too many times, plus you have to queue up at least two hours to enter, I have to say sorry to my Thai's friends...

Then come the next is Australia, well, another three to fours hours queue,
NO WAY I gonna do that!

Singapore Pavilion is one of the most popular pavilion for visitors, the exterior is silverish finishing, ultra modern design.

Again, the queue is one of the longest as you have to make sure you wee wee before you start your queue, else, you will be stuck in the middle of nowhere while queue till half way.

then comes to our motherland, Malaysia with Minbangkabau exterior design, which is one of the most unique pavilion, but you know, as Malaysian, we have been seeing this too many times, I don't have any curiosity to visit but the foreign tourists are very passionate about it! The queue is at least two hours.

me and my country!

the night view of Malaysia pavilion is awesome with harmonious lighting effect!

My comment to our country's pavilion is 70/100, the strange thing is when you see Ogawa Massage Chair sales booth inside the pavilion, some more got free testing of Alicafe's kiosk, must ask our Dato Ng Yen Yen for her precious opinion for this. :p

to be conitnued...

It was a interesting trip to Shanghai this time minus the unbearable weather conditions, well, we truly have to do something as I could significantly feel the global warming effect.Let's live GREEN!

Internet connection is simply helpless in certain area of China and the back-to-back itinerary don't even allow me to wee sometimes, what to say about logging on to FB or my blog to say Hi to all.

Anyway, I'm back in two days time and will upload all the interesting images that you may be interested to take a look, The World Expo!

Let me sort out all the stories I want to share with you in these two days and I promised to tell you lot more insights of the expo.

Cheers!

There are two exciting matters happening over this great week, firstly, I finally have my own blog diary to share with all my beloved friends, colleagues, classmates, travel buddies and anyone of you who loves traveling!

Secondly, of course, the hottest cake in the world right now about Shanghai! I am truly excited to have a chance to witness the once-every-50-years event - World Expo 2010.

Being a tour leader for a decade, Shanghai has nothing much new to me besides the development of new shopping malls and residences. However, this trip will be totally unique as the whole world is now in SHANGHAI!!!

I am preparing the trip on this coming Sunday with 17 lovely tour members ( in one happy family! ), let's get set for this auspicious trip together and I will updates all of you with my lovely camera shots as soon as I can.

Stay tuned, buddies!
