What makes visitors queue up for more than 5 hours in Shanghai Expo?

Saudi Pavilion

Have you ever queue up for more than 5 hours before? In Shanghai Expo, you never get away from a crowd of people queue up outside each themed pavilions. Queue up for pavilions are basically the only thing that visitors will do. Saudi Pavilion had caused people to queue for about 8 hours. This is crazy, but what makes people do that? Is that valuable to waste time on queue up? I will leave this for you to answer.

Crazy, Crazy!! This is the scene that is going to be in the expo.

Since the expo started, Saudi Arabia was already have a reputation, its innovative “Moon Ship” shape , the most expensive cost and the largest High Definition display (EVEN BETTER THAN IMAX). Those are the selling points for the visitors to queue up for 9 hours. Want to know how it looks inside? Don’t worry, you don’t have to queue up for 9 hours in Shanghai. Because, here is a video and a few shots of the interior pavilion. You just have to wait for the video and images to load.

What do you feel now? Do you think is valuable to visit the pavilion?

Want to know what people do when queue up?

Of course, “eat & drink” is the most important things. You can see food wraps and cans were placed everywhere on the floor. Rubbishes become ’smell’ while they are there for 8 hours or so, ’smell’ also caused by the weather in Shanghai.

Therefore, people who have experience of queue up, they would bring some foods with them. What if people who doesn’t have? No worry. People can ask staffs to request for temporarily leaving to buy foods.

What can you do next? Get your gadgets out!!!! PSP, NDS, knockoff iPad, etc. In fact, some local visitors, like students, they will bring text books with them. Study while queue up. Chinese students are so hardworking!!!
