Shanghai Expo Highlights (Part I)

- - Author 作者：Rafael Lam posted on 張貼於: Monday, August 16, 2010




The Shanghai Expo is like a big amusement park!

There are so many things to see. You need to spend a lot of time there to see everything.

You also need to queue up! I decided to go to those pavilions that didn’t have long queues.

I guess I made the right decision. I managed to get into the pavilions and I saw many cool things!



上海世博會就像一個大遊樂園！有很多東西參觀。

您需要花很多時間，才能看那裡的一切。

您還需要排隊！所以我決定去那些沒有大排長龍的展館。

我想我做出了正確的決定。我進入一些展館，還看到很多很酷的事物！

    Oh, I know Tonga! I have a good friend who lives there.
    She's actually a New Zealander but moved to Tonga for good.
    Tonga used to be a British colony too.
    Actually, there were many British colonies in the Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii!

    Photo 3 is so Brazilian. Just like my post for today!
    Come and see Brazil in London Calling! Ha ha...

    紐西蘭館,世界貿易中心協會館, 大平洋聯合館(包括多個大平
    洋群島的細展館)! 最後去了世博軸和各展館影夜景!
    紀念品和手信就好豐富, 除了PIX.31-33幾款小金幣外,
    還有多款世博展館撲克牌和世博會吉祥物「海寶」公仔等等!

    To London Caller,
    Have many Pacific Islands very famous,
    like Samoa, Tonga, Solomon, Fiji,
    they are all nice places!

    I don't know that's Brazilian or Jamaican baby,
    but I'm sure the pic.5 is Canadian baby,
    I also took a picture of American and others babies!
    I will find out more Brazilian charateristic in your blog!

  22. Rafael Lam17/8/10 23:08

    Yes Ristinw, the trip was good! Specially I
    went to Nanjing Road and the Bund at night!

    Of course Expo was worth visiting,
    that's more the reason to go to Shanghai now!

    That's definitely a Brazilian baby because you can see the "globe" on the baby's right hand side. It's the same "globe" on Brazilian flag.
    You can go online to compare them now. :-)

    To London Caller,
    Oh! I can see the Brazilian flag now!
    Because the globe is on the corner of the baby stomach,
    I didn't see it clearly... I'm sure that's Brazilian baby now! Thanks! ^.^
