Disclaimer: I know it's March 2011 and these photos were all taken last year, 2010, but that does not mean I can't blog about them anymore. The way I see it, pictures/videos capture not the moment but the memory of the experience; it triggers back how you felt and what you saw... taking you back to that experience. ALL PHOTOS BY JI unless otherwise stated

Just to give you an idea of how MASSIVE the entire Expo ground was, they opted to divide it into 5 different section, A,B, C,D and E having each sections subdivided as well.
