Expo 2010 fever

Everyone here is talking about Expo 2010. Tickets aren't cheap, coming at 200 a pop. To help them make even more money, or to recover the cost, depending on your viewpoint, there are the day-pass and week-pass options.

I'm just thankful that the construction madness is almost over. Traffic isn't that congested as before. But I suspect the relief will be short-lived. The regime will need something else to generate public interest, distract attention from social injustices etc. Peking 2008, Shanghai 2010. What next? Canton 2012? More city governments will be clamoring for a huge event to stir the local economy.
