Shanghai World Expo: Weird and Fun Stuff From Around the World
Fireworks illuminate the sky during the opening ceremony of the World Expo in Shanghai on April 30, 2010.China kicked off the six-month World Expo -- the largest world's fair ever -- with a lavish star-studded opening gala attended by a host of world leaders. Before it closes on Oct. 31, visitors will have seen some of the best, most brilliant, and most bizarre things countries from around the world had to show off. China saw it as a way to demonstrate its growing power and influence in the world. Others saw it as an excuse for a good time.

S-wheeee-dish!Visitors enjoy a slide inside the Swedish pavilion.


Seed Cathedral
The U.K. pavilion was a six-story object formed from some 60,000 slender transparent rods that extend from the structure and quiver in the breeze. During the day, each of the rods acts like fiber-optic filaments, drawing on daylight to illuminate the interior. Encased on the inside of the rods are seeds of plants used in conservation programs around the world.
