Globetrotting

Egypt
Russia
Italy
We heard loads about the Italian pavilion and it was a unanimous decision to have it on our must visit list. And, we were not disappointed. They brought out their fashion, music and cars, and we were sold.


Shoes shoes shoes
Orchestra on the wall
Dolce & Gabbana
Versace
Germany
Spain
It was all about babies at the Spain pavilion, and the highlight was the mammoth of a baby at the end. He turns his head, bats his lids and pouts. Very creepy.


United Kingdom

Seed Cathedral
The UK pavilion gets my vote for their simple and straightforward idea. Inspired by the seed bank project, a seed cathedral was constructed, where at the end of every spoke, seeds of different plants are embedded. Seeds represent life and the continuity of it, and its nice that it was in line with the theme for the 2010 Expo, building a greener future. How more direct can it get.
