In 1933, World Expo Chicago set up its theme, and then the following expos also had their special themes.Text How I “Survived” the Shanghai ExpoAn Overseas Visitors Personal Experience My aunt in Vancouver shared a wise Chinese saying after she came back from her trip to the Shanghai Expo:“If you didnt go to the Shanghai Expo, you would regret it. If you did go to the Shanghai Expo, you would regret it even more.” I laughed. However, there was a lot of truth to the statement. For the price of an admission ticket to the Expo, you could get to witness a great human accomplishment: Over 200 architecturally cutting-edge national pavilions in a 4-km2 exhibition site. At the same time, you could get to witness and experience the exhausting 4 or 5 hours long queuing lines. Believe me: the Expo itself would wear you out after Day One. In addition, you shouldnt have come just to visit Shanghai for the Expo. Shanghai was a dynamic, modern, international city the “city of the future” and it is really worth breaking up your Expo visit with trips to the Bund, to Nanjing Road, to ultra-modern Pudong, maybe even to the neighboring cities: Hangzhou and Suzhou. And if youd been to Shanghai many times already and seen all these sights, then you could use the rest of your time to do the one thing Shanghai was best known for: shopping, shopping, shopping.How I Chose The Best Pavilions to See “What were the best pavilions to see?” This was a good question. With over 200 pavilions and such limited time and such long lines, you wouldnt want your day at the Expo site to go to waste. Actually, answering this question would start with yourself. If youd been to France, there was no point waiting an hour to see the Fisher Price version of France in the French Pavilion (although still quite beautiful).The Real Stars I enjoyed most: mid-sized Countries pavilions You might be very much exhausted by queuing before the heavy hitters of the Expo the China pavilion and the big “brand-name” countries but you will also discover that there are some real gems mid-sized countries pavilions.Mid-sized countries pavilions had short lines (10-30 minutes at most) and their displays could be quite beautiful and informative! Two that I enjoyed were: Indonesia and New Zealand. Indonesia had a long, snaking exhibit that showcased everything from coral reefs to ruins of culture. New Zealand, while short on the actual interior display, had a roof garden with everything from stuffed animals to Kiwi trees and herbs. Some countries were too small or poor to afford their own stand-alone pavilion. In that case, they rented space in a pavilion warehouse, usually grouped by region or continent. The Africa pavilion reminded me of a college activities fair, with booths and stands for individual countries. These places are also great if you were looking to learn more about a lot of countries in a short amount of time. Simply stated, the Shanghai Expo was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Maybe its because, after visiting the Expo, you would probably tell yourself that you never want to do this again. But once you get to recall this rare Shanghai Expo experience sometime in the future, you will probably be happy that you had the chance to partake in such a world-class event and such an unusual experience.Language Points1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences1.
