Y’all heard there’s a WORLD EXPO going on in Shanghai, starting in the next week or so? You’ve heard right? In Shanghai, it’s the excuse of the decade. High apartment prices? Expo’s fault. Favorite restaurant was closed? Expo did it. Tightening regulations on foreigners or perhaps just enforcement of existing regulations? Blame it on the Expo. I have been trying to find a bike, and I can attest that the Expo has commandeered every single old, cheap bike in the city.

Now if you want to cities of the Expo, you can go to these fine websites that have had sneak peaks of all the crazy pavilions that are still not built yet (I did mention this thing is opening next week, right?).

But here is my little addition to the web of photos of the Expo out there. As I took the bus to the airport, I got some pictures of the Expo site, but the photos I took are just blurry distant versions of the photos from the sites above. But right next to the Expo is what I believe to be the Expo parking lot. It is a pretty big parking lot! Here are my pictures:

Here are two of the Expo site itself. These were take from a bridge that runs right over the Expo.
