I was only at the expo for a short time, but managed to catch part of the show. Suzy and I took 15 Maori on a shopping tour; it was awesome to hear about their traditions of tattooing. I’m looking forward to going back to the pavillion to see their entire performance!

Sandhya said she read that they’d created new hybrid flowers that will withstand the flower-wilting hot summer!

Can you see the “ugly” object in this photo that’s been camouflaged for the Expo?

IMG_4584Really, the electric boxes are getting painted in camouflage.  Camo doesn’t usually go so well with urban surroundings!
