Let’s Go Expo

Hurry! You only have until Oct 31 to visit the 2010 World Expo under way in Shanghai. There’s so much to do, and so much to see. So let’s go Expo! After greeting millions of visitors all summer, the 2010 World Expo closes on Oct 31. But don’t panic. Organizers say the China Pavilion, the top attraction at the Expo, will reopen on Dec 1. And China Daily reports the popular pavilion might stay open for at least another six months.
