Australia
Was pretty good!!
From the entrance, to the walk up to the video presentation, to exit.
Was one of the first pavilions to be completed due to its ties with China, I remember reading some where; the Aussies spent quite abit.
(1) Entrance (2) Coffee Stand! (3) Awwhh What an Hour long Line?! (4) This is called VIP bitches muahaha; This was in front of the line in picture (3) (5) Warm Lighting (6) Capt Cook and co. (9) Peng Peng the not so hospitable Mascot (10) Some abo art (11) Middle thing in ANZ theatre (12) Close up (13) A city that replaces it (14) Screens to shield the transition (15) huuh? apparently its a sand sculpture the kids made (16) Farming in Australia is Awesome....

Features
LONG WAIT but none at night at about 8-9 BUT I WALKED IN LIKE A BOSS with my permanent residency visa stamped on my passport
Video Presentation; 9 minute long; story of 3 kids (one chinese, one caucasion, one aboriginal) and their different backgrounds/city/origin
A walk through Australia's History with the present being Kevin Rudd's apology to the Lost Generations
Must go!
Well prepared, structured and presented, obviously for made with Chinese tourist in mind (given that the video presentation was made in mandarin) summarized what was distinctively Australian in the video (surfing culture, AFL, outback, barrier reef, cities, Victorian architecture)
Luxemberg
Features
Nice Rooftop garden nice place for a walk,
Videos of everyday life from residents of Luxemberg and what life is like for such a multicultural city (44% Foreigners)
Some Facts of the country (2nd largest financial centre, population size, the dunno what act that allows Chinese nationals to get 1 visa that allows you to travel to multiple countries)
Worth it/so-so while there isn't really much to see from a tourist point of view, I was pretty interested to see what Luxemberg had to offer as a place to live/work in as I am a finance/accounting graduate and would definitely like to be in the city thats the 2nd largest financial centre.
New Zealand
(1) Kiwis LoL (2) NZ Entrance (3) Geysers (4) Some Random Sights
Features
A Rooftop Garden
Some Videos and pictures depicting life in NZ
Looks nice on the outside but is pretty dull inside
(Boring might look like a decent pavilion from the outside but is actually pretty lousy inside, the garden wasn't even close to WoW-ing me)
Greece
Features
Projecters projecting various parts of Athens
A row of popular greek leaves like basil, and so on (I fail at cooking)
The Greek government cut the expo budget by 40% leaving the Greek expo organizers with little to work with.
(So-so) some projectors to project daily Greek life in Athens but nothing to WoW people or stand out from the Europeon Pavilions.
Holland
You'll be pardoned for mistaking Holland's Pavilion as a circus with its neon lights and unorthodox bright colours. Its queues are pretty minimal thanks to its large capacity but doesn't really have much to offer or see.
(1) Some Dutch houses (2) Spiral Stairs (3) Some Dolls? (4) haha i have no idea what this was (5) Teapots, a look of traditional Dutch Dinner table (6) Welcome in the Netherlands? a message of how everything is welcome in Holland? (Marijuana being legal) (7) Tulips (8) Side View of Pavilion (10) Front view (11) Football Dutch Style is like playing Rugby maybe worse, just ask the Spanish; BAMMM Xabi Alonso getting Owned, De Jong was obviously playing the wrong sport, amazing how the ref didn't see that.
Features
No Queue
Some Dutch Artwork
Some Random objects (Chairs, dolls, inanimate sheep)
So-so, nothing much to see but is convenient due to its large crowd capacity.
Thats it for now,
I did mention that I went to 13 pavilions but I don't think I'll cover them all because they aren't really worth mentioning.
