15 Amazing Pavillions from Shanghai Expo 2010

Expo 2010 is a worldwide event that is currently taking place  in Shanghai, China and started May 1st.  As a reminder, here is more information from the official website: “World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is the occasion for China to bring the world at home, and for the world to feel at home in China. By dedicating a 5.28-square-kilometer area at the core of the city to exhibitions, events and forums on the Expo theme, “Better City, Better Life,” Shanghai hopes to build a powerful and lasting pilot example of sustainable and harmonious urban living.” The event is expected to gather up over 70 million visitors until the end of October and so far it looks like the estimations were good.
