China Moments: Day 6

Labels: , | at 18:45

Rise and shine to a brand new day! Here we are at the Shanghai World Expo 2010! The girl was really excited on paying a visit to the World Expo. And even though she knew that there would be millions of people (not forgetting the weather of course) , there seem to be no stopping her. Moreover, she accompanied me back to China this time round just because of the World Expo! Indeed, we were greeted by throngs of people upon reaching, and were only given 4.5 hours to explore the entire area, which is of course impossible... Therefore, after clearing security, we displayed our "Singaporean Kiasuism"... We actually starting running! Haa...

Our first stop; Thailand pavilion! From that moment, we were just busily snapping from pavilions to pavilions and running from area to area...

The Asian Countries Sector (Not all)

Not forgetting a couple pic with our country's icon -
The "durian''!

Due to the girl's forgetfulness (didn't bring IC), and that our passports are with our tour guide, we could not join the priority queue given to Singaporeans to visit the Singapore Pavilion. However, we did manage to visit one, at least, and that's the New Zealand Pavilion. Is that a sign to my next destination I wonder... Haa...



The European Pavilions

The weather was really hot and warm on that day. By the time we finished taking picures of the Asian and European pavilions, we were dead beat despite only exploring half the size of the whole Expo area. And having skipped lunch, we were both hungry and thirsty, resulting in me having this sudden craving of an ice cold drink to cool myself down. And so, the girl nicely got me a bottle of coke. It was like reviving a dead man from it's tomb... Shiok!!!

By the end of the Expo tour, everyone looked breathless and tired. Nonetheless, it was pretty rewarding with both of us busily snapping away and us getting a free tan. The girl had something extra, a pair of white toes... =P

To end off the Expo tour, I present to you the 3 most popular booths. Each pavilion required the people to queue for more than 6 hours to get in! Make a guess on these 3 pavilions?

They are Saudi Arabia, Japan and Korea Pavilions! (left to right)

We ended off our Shanghai Tour with a trip to Tongrentang, a place where they provide foot massage to spread the culture of Chinese Medical practice. Of course, I didn't try as I am really afraid of the ticklish sensation. =x The girl also gave it a miss as she had tried it during her previous trip.

Thereafter, we bid farewell to Shanghai and continued with a 5 hour journey to Yiwu. By then, it was already nightfall. We checked in to our hotel, Days Inn Hotel, whereby we had our dinner and an early rest.


A pretty nice and cosy hotel for us to recharge for our next exciting day!
