And here is my top 3 of the best pavillions of Expo 2010...

...en troisieme place, le Danmark pour avoir offert un AR Copenhague-Shanghai au rouquin Jørgen Jørgensen...
...in third place, Danmark, for offering a return trip to ginger Jørgen Jørgensen...

...mais surtout a la petite sirene, la vraie! Les chinois semblent apprecier...
...but also to the little mermaid, the real one. The chinese seem to appreciate...

...meme si la recup commerciale n'etait jamais loin, avec une apologie a moitie deguisee du commerce de la fourrure :-(...
...even though, they did sell out with a semi-disguised promotion of fur trade...
On continue, en deuxieme position l'Australie forcement, ou tout est plus grand (et plus cher! le troisieme budget de tous les pavillions)...
Moving on, in second place, Aussie obviously, where everything is bigger (and pricier! 3rd most expensive pavillion)...

...ou les koalas sauvent des vies quand ils se tapent pas une tooheey new, gardee bien au frais dan s la glaciere...
...where koalas save lives, when they are not sipping on a tooheey new, ice cold from the esky...

...ou on n'a pas peur de son passe et de s'excuser...
...where it's ok to be sorry...

...ou on se demande ou est aller l'argent public exactement...
...where one wonders where all this public money went really ha ha...

...ou on fete la diversite et les milliers d'etudiants chinois qui vont avec (l'education, le 3eme secteur exportateur de l'Australie)...
...where diversity is being celebrated together with the thousands of Chinese students (Education being Australia's third export)...

...en resume, un pavillion qui claque du dehors, et pas trop commercial, encore que..
...in a nutshell, a striking pavillion, not too commercial, well until you get to the shop...

Et grand vainqueur est (et oui, ca me peine de le dire) ...la Grande-Bretagne...
And the winner is (and yes, it pains me to say so)...the UK...

...qui a su fuir les sirenes du capitalisme, de la recuperation commerciale et qui n'a pas laisse Tesco et BP choisir les contenus...
...who managed to stay away from the sirens of capitalism and commercial interests and didn't leave Tesco and BP choose the contents of its pavillion...

...et nous a presente a la place une superbe expo sur la nature et comment la preserver...
...instead, it was all about seeds, nature and how to preserve it. Bless!...

...dans un pavillion original tant de l'exterieur que de l'interieur.
...in an interesting pavillion, both from the inside and outside.
