World Expo Opens in Shanghai

Yesterday saw the opening of the World Expo in the historic Chinese city of Shanghai. The Big Picture, which is probably the best photographic blog in the world, has an amazing array of photographs which will leave you gasping and wishing that you could get there to see it all. True, there are going to be an estimated one hundred million visitors to the event - buy 95% of those are going to be Chinese which means the rest of the world will only be sending a paltry five million.

So, if you can't make it yourself and want to see what your country and others have contributed to this mind blowing exposition, take a look at these fascinating pictures HERE.
