My visit to shanghai

I went to Shanghai to visit the 2010 World Exposition with my roommates, Yorlanda and her friend, Lily on September 22 .

On that day, we got up very early , so when we arrived at the railway station ,we still had enough time to have a breakfast and didn’t worry about missing the train . the weather was not cold and not hot . I  believed  it was favourable for us to visit the world EXPO .  Nevertheless , It began to rain before our train reached the shanghai ,the destination. The bad weather added to the difficulty of this trip. We seemed to ponder many things except the weather. Actually ,  it was very terrible for us because all of us wore T-shirt . Fortunately, it stopped when we got there .

   I was so excited when I saw the modern city, shanghai ,even though it was my second time to visit Shanghai. we quickly found the bus which could take us to the EXPO. One misfortune followed another，my bag was broken , but it had no effect on me to admire the scenery. Before I went to shanghai, my friend told me that it was hard to visit the Expo because the lines for visiting the China pavilion or the popular pavilions were so long, it took a  long time to get in. however , When we got there , I was still surprised that there were many people, who all came here for Expo . I saw this crazy and crowded scene while stepped into the Exposition yard.  On that day, there were about 480700 visitors to expore in the EXPO in the mid-autumn festival . I was astonished by the data .

   For this trip , there were two places that had left a profound impression on me . one was Lithuania , I went into this pavilion by myself . the weather was cold and it was raining . The worst of all was that I had no clothes to keep myself warm . I felt cold and lonely .But there was one thing worth of my comfort , I saw their excellent musical play.It was fascinating and funny . The other was Switzerland . we saw there are full of people and we lined up for nearly 3 hours . In this pavilion , we watched the movie about Switzerland. It had the marvelous landscape .

No matter what, I enjoyed this journey of Shanghai Expo; it widened my vision of the world and brought the new thoughts about the various cultures into my life .
