The Big - O

This past weekend I had the joys of going to the World Expo, 2012 in Yeosu Korea. After an amazing (sarcasm) night bus we (Tammy, Jeff and I) arrived in Yeosu for a full day at the Expo. At 8:15 am our adventures began.  I don't have nearly as awesome footage as the website itself so I highly suggest you CLICK HERE and view the video put together by the advertising and tourism committee. Below are some photos from the expo (some photos I took, others Tammy took - Thanks for sharing)! HEADS UP click on the first picture and you can then enjoy all the photos displayed full sized.

The Big-O during the day time.
Every night at 9 and 10pm it turns into the center of attention for the expo.

A Look out over the expo. The exhibition grounds were huge!
A grain elevator turned into an organ.. that actually played music.
A digital bamboo forest.
Sweet architecture.

At the Malaysia Exhibit.
The Byrka's in Burqas.



 Denmark's earth friendly, ocean sustainability lego exhibit! 

Visited India.


Can't forget our heritage. Probably the best pavilion at the expo that we experienced.
The staff at the pavilion had the worst outfits (Germany wasn't known for fashion...), but an extremely interactive, educational exhibit.
Oh and all the staff spoke German, English and Korean fluently. 

The Big - O show - Ring of Fire
So many people at the Big- O show (definitely a highlight)



Goodbye Expo! 
  
 The next morning some people in our group went hiking. Due to my foot I had the joys of chilling out, reading and catching up on some R&R. 

If you've made it this far... congrats! My last post was about diving with sharks in Korea and we (all divers) finally have a youtube video. Sure its 23 minutes long (please note I didn't make, upload or edit this video)... so please feel free to just watch a few minutes of it. Enjoy! 

Until my next adventure,

M
