From expo2010.cn
Oh hurrah, with just about 200-some days left to go, the main pavilion for the Shanghai Expo - that red one that looks kind of like a square temple - was finished yesterday, making it the first out of the four central pavilions to be ready for interior design work, according to Shanghai Daily. The pavilion highlights Shanghai's various eco-friendly initatives (solar energy, plant walls, and the like) spans a whopping area of 11.5 hectares - the size of 21 American football fields - and will house exhibitions highlighting the link between humans, cities, and the Earth. We can't wait to wander around inside it!

Obama could go to Copenhagen with his wife and shill for a Chicago Olympics but he couln't even spare a few measly bucks to bring a U.S. presence to this big party? Pathetic.
