Pavel, I couldn't resist thinking about funny coincidences, and had to take this "pavillion group" shot:

Hehe nice one Rui! We are still good neighbors despite the unfortunate split of our countries in 1993. Thanks for taking it! Did you enjoy your Expo visit? I'm sure it must have been a great experience?
PS: I only now noticed there is also Portugal pavilion! This is definitely strange but very nice coincidence!

Markus, thank you so much for the kind words
Pavel, now you now why I took this shot, hehehe. Quite an unusual organization that made us neigbors ;-)
This Expo was amazing, one experience of a life time. But a very complicated too. Everything was too much... too big, too vast, too crouded, too expensive, and so on...
One thing troubled me. It was a matter of visiting or photographing the pavillions. It was not a good idea to just walk around and take some good shots in case you wanted to visit the Pavillions. For a matter of minutes you could have to spend much more time waiting in the lines... so we had to "run" all seven days to visit the maximum as possible. In the end we could count more than 80 Pavillions on our list, which let many Chinese completely mad when watching our passport full of stamps!
Altough we didn't made the top, China, Saudit Arabia, Japan, for example, which would have made us lost almost one day for each of them :shock:
Phil, I've learned a lot there during an entire month. Now I can recognize something like 3 caracthers, and speak 4 words... believe me, I'm pretty sactisfied with this acomplishment!! :mrgreen:
