When I was in Shanghai last month, I had the opportunity to walk around the Shanghai expo site. Although the expo had finished 2 weeks earlier, it was a good chance to see all the colourful/unique buildings without all the crowds.
My mate's gf was the manager of her countrys' pavillion, and managed to get me a security pass (officially I was there to help dismantle commercial displays, but unofficially just to have a walkaround with the camera).
Any and all feedback appreciated.
1. Can you guess which country this pavillion is for? The UK ! Apparently the 'hair' on the building was fibre-optic like cables, and lit up the building inside.

2. The Dutch pavillion was very cool. Now surrounded by a blue fence ready for demolition.

3. The French pavillion.

6. Some photogenic debris.

7. The South Korean pavillion was very photogenic, and also a good example that although alot of the buildings were very impressive, they were only designed to last 6 months.

8. At my other 'home' pavillion, the UAE. The main building in the background.
