Well, I didn’t want to go but H finally forced talked me into it. Not even on a normal day either, on a saturday.. which by all counts should be far worse than a weekday.

And it wasn’t half busy, as we were regularly reminded as we walked round, “THE QUEUE FOR THE GERMANY PAVILION, THE UK PAVILION AND THE US PAVILION IS NOW 4 HOURS, THE QUEUE FOR THE FRANCE PAVILION AND SWISS PAVILION IS 3 HOURS.. etc etc etc” (the announcement didn’t actually say “etc etc etc”, I added that bit myself… Actually it turns out that yesterday, when I was there was the busiest day and the first day which the park reached it’s full capacity of half a million people (stats here), lucky me, the Saturday before there was only 360,000…

Anyway, I’ll probably blog about a couple of things, but I won’t bore you with more pavilion pics etc which everyone has no doubt already seen, ok, just one:

How H would look if she grew a ginormous platinum ‘fro

This is how Expo looks when there’s half a million people there:

Looks like a lot of fun negotiating those crowds eh!

We took a golf cart through the crowds to get from one side of Expo (Europe) to the other side (Asia), it took an age to wind  its way through the crowds.

Here’s something weird though, why would a golf buggy which typically moves at between 5 km/h and moves at a maximum of 10km/h need a speedo that goes all the way up to 100km/h??? Do they race these things in the middle of the night when the park is closed?
