China is celebrating harmony.  Odd, you might think, for a world power not exactly known for its humanitarianism.  Well, put those beliefs aside when you visit Shanghai’s World Expo 2010.  The first world’s fair to take place in China, the exhibition welcomes 189 nations to a five-square-kilometer, $50 billion playground.   Over 200,000 visitors poured in for the 1 May opener and fireworks extravaganza over the Huangpu River.  Events include folk festivals and cultural feasts, perfect complements to the Austrian theme “Feel the Harmony” or Pakistan’s “Harmony in Diversity.” Over 70 million guests are expected before the event’s close on 31 October.  Will you be one of them?
