Taiwan pavilion Shanghai Expo 2010 -The future is here

One more day, so come the new year.
But I want to remember, an international exhibition held in Shanghai this year,
and see the world that will come tomorrow ,and describe a memory from the distant for the younger born, 1975. Being a student in Milan, I first saw in a storefront shop, a small box filled with black buttons, and small red letters and numbers , the calculator.
Who can imagine, what we see today.
Indeed, imagine that someone , how would feel if he came with a time machine, in this international exhibition, will surely think it will be another planet, and we are the aliens.
Let's see a little dose of this international exhibition.

Taiwan’s creativity, sustainability of nature and local arts are among other stunning themes and visions that the Pavilion will share with the world.....
