First Chinese genetic map unveiled
Shanghai Daily first alerted us to the fact that the Oriental Crown, China's pavilion for the World Expo, was given its first test light up yesterday night. The pretty awesome pic they snapped made us curious to see if we could find any slightly bigger ones. Well, turns out World Expo Blog has a couple sweet ones. Looks like that's the place to go for more Oriental Crown previewing!

Expo! Expo! F**K Yeah Expo!! Savior of the universe Expo!!
Encore! The lighting will be all the more visible through all the murky, white, carcinogenic air at night. Congratulations Expo.
I personally don't really care for the design of the structure...it's just like any other boring Chinese buildings out in Shanghai, lack of creativity. It looks like the designers stopped after they came up the idea instead of evolving it into a better one. And, why it reminds me 人民大会堂 is beyond me...
