Was in Shanghai last week to visit the Expo. The sights were amazing.
But the crowds definitely had a culture truly their own (to put it nicely) :rofl

Wanted to share my take on the expo. I recall reading from somebody's blog that "If you don't go to the Shanghai Expo, you will regret it. But if you go to the Expo, you will regret it even more." :D

Loads of pictures, please be patient (and be forewarned) :photo

    Loved the photos. I was there in May also. Due to the age of some folks in our party we didn't stay for the evening lights - so thanks for your great photos!
