It’s now officially 29 days to go until the World Expo in Shanghai. So instead of the originally announced 3-day Labor Day
holiday for May, the Shanghai governement extended the holiday period to 5 DAYS in honor of the opening of the World Expo on May 1.
Shanghai will be off from April 30 to May 4. (So shoo! Go travel some more!)
Also, I read that the permanent residents per household will be given a free commemorative transportation card worth 200RMB and the much-valued Expo ticket! Definitely something to look forward to!

What I can say…lucky Shanghaiists
Oh well, yeah. Think of it this way–it’s their time to shine this Expo anyway.
