The Vast Expo




We finally made our way to the Expo. The place is like EPCOT with 70 country pavilions and probably 50 or so other pavilions by corporate sponsors. It is so large that the have their own bus system to take you around.

There are a couple of hundred thousand people here and 12 look like TJ and I.

The lines to get into to pavilions ranged from 2 hours to 5 hours on the long side. To add to the lines, it is very hot - close to 100 degrees.

Germany's line was at least 4 hours long. Luckily the Chinese don't have an affinity for Munich beers and sausages. I was able to walk right up to the bar and order a beer imported from the Hofbrauhaus in Munich.

Rather than waiting in the lines, we did a short pub crawl through the European pavilions and even stopped in Ireland for fish and chips and bangers and mash - although that is more UK than Irish.

We will come back tonight when the tour buses leave. #end
