Welcome to Expo 2010 Shanghai China

     Universal Exposition or Expo, also known as the World Fair and World’s Fair, is the name given to various large public exhibitions held since the mid-19^th century. They are the third largest event in the world in term of economic and cultural impact after the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games. They have been organized for more than one and a half centuries—longer than both the (modern) Olympic Games and the world Cup. The first Expo was held in the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851. Now you can participate in this amazing event in Shanghai China. It is the first time World Exposition is held in a developing country.
