I live  in Shanghai, China where excitement is mounting ahead of the World Expo which opens on 1st May 2010.

It promises to be a great spectacle with amazing exhibits, light shows and of course fireworks.

If you are planning on visiting Shanghai during this time I would recommend you get hold of the My Shanghai A La Carte map which is available at www.alacartemaps.com or from Chaterhouse Bookstores in Shanghai or the JW Marriott hotel at Tomorrow Square - it will be a big help to get the most out of the city
