Shanghai World Expo (Part I)
Arriving at the Expo we could not believe our eyes... >95% of the visitors are Chinese... and there are around 500,000 visitors/day!!!
With this Chinese crowd, and over 2 hour long lines, we got into "Portuguese mode". We got in to the Portugal pavillion through the exit. When it didn't work in the France pavilion, we just pretended to be French nationals and used INSEAD as an excuse... In the Singapore pavillion we used our Permanent Resident cards and for the Cambodja pavillion we went legit... there was no line!!!
Shanghai on a friday night? Crowded!!!
The amount of people in the street was amazing... never thought so many Chinese could fit in such a small place... clearly I hadn't been to the Shanghai World Expo 2010... :)

Shanghai is one of those cities in which you just want to walk around and enjoy the cosmopolitan thing...
"Tourism is the number one industry in Xi'an"
The first thing our "guide" tells us is that Xi'an's main industry is tourism. Who would have guessed? They're always trying to rip tourists off...
In the souvenir shop, the peasant that "discovered" the Terracotta army is autographing 20€ souvenir books... He get's a monthly salary of around 200€ to be there...
