About a year ago everyone was in stress to complete “Happy Street” in time. After the UK Pavillion has been demolished and the Swiss Pavillion moved to Hangzhou, there is a clear view on Happy Street!
Quite some Pavillions are still lining the Expo Avenue (世博大道), we still saw the pavillions of Italy, France, Netherlands (behind it Romania & Russia), Spain, Belgium, Nepal, India and Saudi Arabia.
Last chance today to visit the Expo with standard tickets, we’d better go and use the ones we still have to check out the Puxi section. Photos will be added to the Expo album, videos are below.
Overview of some highlights of the Puxi Pavillions: (Take care of the Trojan Horse! 
)
Puxi Pavillions seen from the sightseeing cruise:
There were more than 1 million people visiting the Expo in the same day today!!
This is an impression of what 1,032,700 people in the same place look like:
No water, no car, no plan today 
At least get around to sort some photos…

Hard to believe that todays’ total visitor count is so low 
, should have gone there today… 
We sent our photo camera into the world expo site (cuz we are not allowed to enter yet) and got a sneak preview of what the pavilions look like. You need to think away some of the construction that is still ongoing, but the size of everything is incredible…. Those cars and trucks in the pictures are really normal ones, these buildings are huge!
Keep your mouse on the photos to see what is what.
We got our own car ‘Expo approved’ today: We registered at the police station and got big expo sticker. It saves us from additional checking when entering Shanghai, since our IDs and driving licenses have been linked to our car already, so they don’t have to do it again. My line-up coming back from Suzhou, should be shorter now…
Driving back home over LuPu bridge we saw all the lights of the Expo2010. We stopped at the big entrance (Pudong South Road / Shang Nan Road) and found out we were not the only ones enjoying it… Still 27 nights to go before the grand opening on May 1st.
Cab drivers are not the only ones to get new cars for the World Expo. Today the Shanghai Police got 22 of their new cars handed over to them: BMW 5-series! I am not sure if getting arrested and being brought to the Police station during the Expo will be a punishment…
Only a few days it took us to spot the new cabs. We saw a Hybrid Buick on Sunday and overtook a Touran on the way to work on Monday.
With the Expo starting really soon, the special Expo-cabs are coming on the road. Both big car makers from Shanghai are providing them: Shanghai-GM chose to deliver their 2009 Buick Lacrosse 2.4L ECO-Hybrid, while Volkswagen is supplying Tourans specially made in a taxi version. Let’s see how soon we will see them on the road.
