Expo round two

I had to go back to the Expo before I left Shanghai. This time the weather was nicer so I had to wait in much longer lines. I waited almost to two hours to get into the UAE pavilion. It wasn't worth it. Lots of flashy nonsense about pearls and oil. I got into Iran's and it was surprisingly well done. They had live music and lots of Iranian food. The winner of the worst pavilion goes to North Korea. It was basically empty of people and artifacts. No music, no food, no art, no culture, no style and no line to get in. They did have lots of books written my Kim Jong Il for sale. I couldn't get into the China pavilion because I didn't know that it was reservation only. It looked pretty amazing though.
