ShanghaiThere's been a lot of buzz in the press recently about the Shanghai World Expo, taking place from May 1-October 31, 2010. The scheduled event-- the next world's fair-- is expected to draw the largest number of visitors in the history of world's fairs (70 million). As explained by Wikipedia, "the theme of the exposition will be "Better City – Better Life" and signifies Shanghai's new status in the 21st century as a major economic and cultural center. The expo Logo features the Chinese character 世 'world' modified to represent three people together with the 2010 date." The goal of the World Expo 2010?
