Expo III

Now we’re really looking formal here with a title like "Expo III"
The Expo is divided into “Global Commons”. They’ve grouped areas of the world together so that you can visit Europe, the south seas, Asia etc all in one area. Global Commons 6 is our favorite. It is most of the smaller, southern asian countries, along with Australia (you figure it out…maybe ‘cause it’s in the same ocean?). Anyway, we are impressed with most of the pavilions. Thailand is gorgeous. You enter into another world with a lot of information about the plants and animals that thrive in the country. They have a small restaurant there with some vegetarian choices…but I haven’t been able to try them yet ‘cause they’ve been sold out every time…pretty popular I guess.
The Phillipines is interesting the theme uses the coconut “Usbong: seeds of life” because it leads the world in exporting coconuts. It has a wonderful dish made with squash and coconut cream…delicious!
We also liked the Pacific Islands pavilion. They worked together to create a display with information from each of them. Guam is, of course, included as well as Fiji, Somoa and others. Makes me want to take off. I LOVE island life.
Malaysia is another one that is just a treat to go through. They wind you through the island life there – flora and fauna. Really a spectacular display. We have some great pictures of some of the dancers from there.
