上海滩

最后一夜,我拖着就快走得断了的脚,走到上海滩去。其实根本没什么心情去欣赏它的夜景。因为太多人了!到处都是人,挤得满满的。什么滩,什么水都没看到。如果许文强返生,我看他看了都晕。。。可是无论如何,这里还是上海最像欧洲的地方。

上海老街

地铁站里各式各样的“福”剪纸。在我们走去新世界的途中,意外地转入了这条小巷。 然后我看到了我最最最期待的一幕!
穿着睡衣上街的上海人。原来真的有哦。还看了了一个大婶穿睡衣踩着脚车到菜市场里买菜。呵呵,被从前的人引以为傲的身份象征,在我们眼里竟变成了一个笑话,多可悲。
我很喜欢这里古老的气息,古老的房子,古老的生活方式。没想到在这个闹市中还会有这么的一个地方。
走到街头,经过一个公园,一转又转进了另一个世界。世界各国的餐厅都可以在这里找到。来这里消费的都是一些西方人,富家子,高薪白领。在这里发现了一间星巴克,可惜没时间坐下来好好的品尝。
不知道住在老街那一带的居民,会不会把这里当成他们朝圣之地?梦想着有一天,可以在这里的任何一家店铺买上一样东西。或许对某些人来说,这只不过是件九牛一毛的事,可是有些人花上一辈子的储蓄,也无法得常所愿。 这也难怪为什么那些暴发户会有着不可一世,挥金如土的心态了。

Shanghai World Expo - 4

Today is the third day i went to Expo. I wish i would never came back again when i saw the queue.Still thinking of turn back and go other place first, but before my leg execute the command, i had already been push by the bunch of people toward the gate.
Expo was pack with people today.Every single famous pavilion took 3-4hour queuing time. I was so tired and cant feel my leg already.
So as what i spoken to my mum before, i just took the photo outside each pavilion.

Its like a live geography class when walked around those pavilions. Some of the countries i didn't even heard about it before. Very soon, i will leave this place and go to see the real shanghai.

Shanghai World Expo - France Pavilion

Actually i had no confident in entering France Pavilion. It was because for the past 2 days when i passby it, the queue was always long. On the third day morning, i decided to give it a try. I told myself, i willing to queue for 2 hours to enter it.Somehow i am very lucky! Although the queue seem extremely long, but i only queue for half and hour! some more i got some free gift - a balloon form Michigan. :)
Once you enter the pavilion, inside was empty with only a garden. Suddenly you feel the natural and you will calm down immediate from the long hot queue outside.
First exhibit was true man show. hahaha, show you how the French cook work in progress. Anyway, French people was famous in fine dining.
Then the statue imported from France.
Painting imported from France. I imagine if they brought in Monalisa....the queue will be few km long.

Last but not least, LV!!!!This is totally out of my expectation.
I think France pavilion was one of the best pavilion in the expo. You got to see so many exhibits. So is worth to queue. At their souvenir store, some people were asking the storekeeper weather they sold perfume. What the!!!! perhaps they also asked weather they sold LV or not. hahahaha!
I bought an eiffel tower t shirt here. Cost me RM50 but the quality was not good. I knew you all will laugh at me, bought the eiffel tower t shirt at Shanghai??? :)

Shanghai World Expo -3

Turkey Pavilion at night. Not much people as well.Inside the pavilion was like a museum. Display all the antique things.
Counter selling Turkish souvenir . Its not cheap ooo...
Denmark Pavilion is one of the pavilion that i listed as a must go . I am so lucky on this day this time, i just queue for 10 min to go in. :) I didn't choose to ride on bicycle as i though it looked funny.
The main purpose i wanted to go was this Mermaid Statue! Imported from Denmark! At least now i no need to go Denmark already. It quite far from us but yet you can saw it clearly.
I love this quote, that hang inside Denmark Pavilion. Each visitor can also get a free copy of "green" booklet. Inside the booklet it told what Denmark people believe and how to make their city a better living place.
Its going to rain soon, so we just faster went into a huge pavilion, Africa!
I was like attending a geography class. I didn't know that there were so many countries in Africa. Some i heard of it, some not. They were selling their handicraft. It was very nice and unique. However the price also very "nice".
Look at the gorilla brand coffee! Don't even knew that Africa was famous for coffee???

Shanghai World Expo -2

I love Findland Pavilion. We queue for 30mins to enter. Once we enter, Wow, inside is empty.You can only saw a big rock and blue sky. What a surprise!

We follow the crowd, walk through a side door and go into the exhibit area. I just feel calm here. The projection image is nice, the air is cool, the display item is simple and beautiful. Unlike Malaysia Pavilion that try to dump in as many product as possible.

Sky become darker, i found actually this was a good time to visit the expo. Less crowded. We able to go into Austria Pavilion without queuing.
As expected, the music performance in Austria Pavilion. Hihi, the hometown of Mozart.
This dinner set cost me RMB50. Guess what? i didn't even able to finish it. It was not tasty at all.
Ukraine Pavilion at night
We enter Greece Pavilion without queuing too, after we entered, we knew why there is no queue.
In fact, inside is a restaurant. ..What the??!! I told Sunyi, don't worry sure there will be some exhibit, i am sure there will had at least the olive oil.
Then we found out, yes there were some exhibits.The 4 botols of oil on the table ....What the?!!!
强!
