The Expo 2000, Hanover, Germany

My sister Rose and I went to see the Expo 2000 in Hannover. Below are some pictures from this visit.


Me emerging from the tent.	Rose reading the Expo 2000 newspaper after breakfast.

This is the camping we were staying on.	Here we are at the expo. The building in the background is the pavilion of the United Arab Emirates.

The inside of the Romanian pavilion. The walls are filled with living plants.	A view into the Hungarian pavilion. Very impressive architectually.

The Dutch pavilion from a distance	On the top.

A view of the garden below. Makes you thirsty.	On the forest floor.

A friendly guide made this picture of the two of us.	Another view of the Dutch pavilion, as we walk away.

Waiting at the entrance of the Croatian pavilion. It was very nice, unfortunately it was too dark to take pictures inside.	A band playing in the open concert hall. I forgot where they came from, but is sounded very nice.

There's a strange fog rising in the recycling theme pavilion...	No, it's a (re)cyclone. :-) Very impressive.

There was a kind of inverted bungee jump outside. Only DM 50 to have your stomach turn inside out.	Inside the Japanese pavilion. The spars are made of recycled paper tubes.

The Nepalese pavilion, from the entrance	and close-up.

A last view at it from the cable-car.	Traversing the exhibition halls by cable-car.

An aerial view of the Hungarian pavilion.	The United Arab Emirates pavilion looks exotic.

Near the end of the ride, and the end of our visit.	A last view of the Pavilion of Hope. Do you recognize the shape?
