What is the cost for this EXPO fun?
The 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, to run from May 1 to October 31, will benefit from an estimated budget of 28.6 billion yuan (US$3.7 billion), it was revealed on Tuesday by Zhu Yonglei, deputy head of the 2010 World Expo coordination bureau.
It's cool to be white
While in Estonia most girls try to catch the first summer sun to get some tan, then here it's opposite. Most of the girls have umbrella with them during the sunny days, because being whiter is the fashion here. All subways are also filled with ads about whitening creams and other stuff that helps you to look more like Europeans.
Opening of EXPO was awesome!
I haven't seen this kind of fireworks in my life! It lasted for half hour over massive area, it was synchronized with music and they even managed to draw pictures into sky!
And all area was surrounded with human chain of soldiers:

...is delivering BigMac in minutes! They even have heating and cooling section inside the backpack. Would be nice to have something similar in Estonia also.
Street music
During the evening hours it's possible to see some factory "hobby" ensembles on the street.
Nice restaurant...
Was it a dog soup or not, I'll never know...but it was good...
This is how chef's suit looks like in ordinary street restaurant, but the food is delicious. Bon appetit!
Few more inches...
...and we're sinking. This ship is under-loaded in Shanghai terms. Sometimes it's only possible to see front and back part of the ship because the middle part is under water.
One night in piggy farm...
After that night I should get a degree in veterinary...
Electronics:
Installation:
I just "love" Chinese construction culture.
There are still some metal construction in the building that I don't want to touch. They have absolutely no idea what leakage current protection means...
Typical extension cord:
Supporting systems:
Huh! It's been a small pause in the blog...
...not because the life here is boring, but because we have been working almost non-stop on the pavilion technology. Today I got my first really good sleep after the planes from Finland arrived. Now the EXPO in opened and it feels great that we got it all working! Of course there is still a lot to fix and improve, but the basic concept is running well.
