Top Pavis

Nothing says welcome to expo 2010 more than the Chinese Pavillion. Could be seen from most places around the site, shows you how big-ass its built. And how many Chinamen they needed to build it.

Corporate bodies also took part in the Expo, and most of their pavilions are built on the other side of the site, away from the country pavillions. Smart usage of scaffolding were used as an exterior shell which houses the spaces within.

The Serbian Pavillion is sandwiched between most of the European powerhouses, but the colourful and playful exterior makes it stick out like a sore thumb, in a good way, that is.

Designed by Sir Norman Foster, the UAE Pavillion resembles the sand dunes of the Arabic desert. Plated with dark gold plates, the exterior is freaking reflective and blinding in the glaring sunlight.


The Polish Pavillion boasts a facade which resembles the traditional Polish papercutting art. Very interesting to see at night, during which purple neons shine from within.

The South Korean Pavillion is probably Asia's best contender in this expo. Made up of symbols, symbols, and more symbols. The symbols eventually form a BIGGER SYMBOL by themselves, making up the whole structure that way.

The French Pavillion is all things french: Proud, elegant, neat, even snobbish at times. Prettiest facade arguably for me.

The Danish Pavillion. Almost resembles a Danish pastry to me, minus the holes. You get to cycle up and down the lanes provided inside the pavillion. Wicked. To imagine it as a self-supporting structure is mind-blowing.

Yeap the Spanish Pavilion. Screw the Spanish, they are like, owning every other nation. Made from rattan with multiple shades and patterns, creating an incredibly, almost unreal wavy structure.

Had to get this, despite not finishing the other books. Discreetly unwrapped one in Kinokuniya and never got to put it down. And i wasn't going to read the whole thing standing there in one shot.

Films I'm bringing to Shanghai . Note the Shanghai GP3 film (bottom right). Even the SHD is china-made. My strategy to smoothly pass through the Chinese customs

Never took photos of my own cameras before, so this is a first. FAMILY PHOTO. Even the flash wants a piece of airtime.

As much as i dislike digital, i'm bringing a Canon prosumer too. Needed to help me in doing my logbook. Best documentation gets 700 ringgit from the college. Not joking. I cant believe it too. 500 and 300 bucks for the 1st and 2nd runners-up respectively.

winners pot is like, what, 1500 RMB??

Teehee

Doing more reading out of total boredom. And mostly because my vocab is totally going down the drain. Neil Gaiman is my pick of poison, and probably he's the only author i read from nowadays.

This one's good. The most bizarre, weirdest stuff happens. Plenty of sex, more than I imagined, more than i asked for.

This one's darker, more sombre, less erotic, less interesting. Not done with it.

Just finished 2 stories from this, harder to fathom. A LOT harder.

And oh, did i mention that i took part in a battle of the bands competition recently? We got totaled by the professional full-timers though (read: old, 30-40-year-old tards.)
