Shanghai World Expo

Oh! The World Expo is back again after five years and it will be held in Shanghai, China. At last, Beijing does not gain all the international glory

I had always preferred Shanghai over Beijing. The latter is just a piece of rock wrapped casually with paper and sprinkled with a little glitter. Shanghai is the smooth pebble which always shines without fail

To say it properly, Beijing is the inelegant official face of China. Shanghai, on the other hand, is more modern and cosmopolitan. It should have long been the face of China since a century ago

Beijing and Shanghai's rivalry is something similar to America's New York and Los Angeles. The Shanghainese are eager to prove that their city is the leading one for the world's most populous state. Shanghai will get its long-awaited attention and recognition when the World Expo begins but overtaking Beijing is another issue

Yes, Shanghai is more trendy and adaptable without a doubt but most importantly, the overall image of China must be improved. Whoever is the face of China must be responsible that it is a pretty face
