Shanghai Expo Highlights (Part I)





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!

  10. 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...

  16. 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!

  23. 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. :-)

  26. 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! ^.^
