The Shanghai Expo officially opens on 1 May. See the Big Picture for some very nice photos.

In other news, Shanghai decided (about three weeks ago! hey, it's not like they've known about the expo coming for eight years or anything like that.) to extend the traditional 1 May Labour Day holiday for the Expo opening. So the yaean office will be closed from Friday 30 April, opening again on Wednesday 5 May. Also most traffic is banned in downtown Shanghai during those days. Enjoy the good weather. Wear sunscreen.
