Shanghai Expo 2010

May 9, 2011

As the Expo was closing at the end of the month and I still hadn’t visited the famous Spanish pavilion I joined a day trip event organized by CEIBS. We went to the expo on the day that holds the record number since the exhibition was opened. In China, this means a lot of people. More than one million people visited the Expo that same day.

The lines for all pavilions were amazing. Lines of 5 hours in most European pavilions and a 6 hours queue for Saudi Arabia Pavilion. We were lucky because CEIBS could gave us VIP passes for the Luxembourg, Italian and Spanish pavilions.

The Spanish pavilion
The first room of the pavilion is amazing. The second room is very weak because the message is not clear and the third room has Miguelito. Nobody really knows what is doing there but it helps to create hype and attract media.

The best part of the visit, the restaurant in the Spanish Pavilion. I had amazing croquetas! Almost as good as the ones my mum cook.
