PHOTO POST; Shanghai: World Expo 2010.
On our second day in Shanghai (June 8th), we went to the World Expo. To be honest, I thought the interior parts of the pavilions were a little underwhelming (but then again, I had no idea what to expect anyway), but the architecture and designs were insanely good. We didn’t get to see a ton of the insides of the pavilions; mostly because the place was packed and the lines were super long, but it was worth it to see what different places all over the world came up with.
I don’t have photographs of all the pavilions, because it was hard to get great shots without people blocking the way, and I wasn’t used to the 35mm lens I was using (no wide angle shots, I’m afraid) but I hope these photos give you an idea of how massive it all was.
On the way inside.
Family picture, minus me. LOL.

because there really were some beautiful things that I saw that day.
Strange seating! They also had a bike lane.

I love the pictures, Carina. And insanely jealous! The Netherlands’ look very interesting.
Zet! You should def. go if you get the chance. It’s super tiring to line up but even just walking around to look at these pavilions = worth it. Denmark pa lang, OK na sa akin e.
