Shanghai


Shanghai is hosting Expo 2010 ... to the tune of $58B!

There are complaints of long lines: waiting for hours to get into some pavilion.
Shanghai is the largest city on the planet: population 20M.

The last (and only) Expo we've been to was Expo 67.
We often had to wait for hours.

Montreal had a population of 1.2 M in 1967.
Canada's population in 1967?
About 20M.

P.S.
One of the countries that didn't have an exhibit at Expo 67?
China!!
