More Shanghai Expo Images (Long)

Below are some more pictures of the various pavilions from the Expo.  The grounds were massive; there were pavilions on both sides of the Huangpu river with the technology-related pavilions on the Puxi side and the country pavilions on the Pudong side.  Even though I'm quite accustomed to walking a lot, even I was exhausted at the end of a day.  We only went into the Footsteps pavilion on the Puxi side and otherwise spent most of our time in the country pavilions.  The buildings are more impressive at night all lit up but I didn't have a chance to take pictures because we were too tired, hungry and cold by then to do so.
