Is it just me or does the Saudi Arabia building look like Kami's lookout from Dragonball Z?

i cant see past photo #21

I cant view the whole gallery...

Idiostruct -- an idiotic structure without purpose.

I'm sorry, but it just looks like a sci-fi pop-tent competition. It would seem the theme is 'over-sized origami'.

Germany's is my favorite.

Beuh! USA building is terrible.
This is one of the few time I'm actually proud of a Canada international action.
Harper really suck, but, this time, look like he didn't messed up everything. This doesn't happen often.
Although, I would have liked a Quebec-only pavilion*, but I guess this is just daydreaming...

*I don't consider myself Canadian, but Quebecker.

I got stuck on #23. The little arrow button wouldn't take me any farther. :'(

Cool pictures so far though!

Can't wait to see their interiors!

The one picture looks like a blender

Gamenomad the American pavilion was designed by a Canadian, so don't be TOO proud

Japan's building looks like a wad of chewed bubblegum which was spat onto the ground by a passing god, but at least it looks better than our (US) EPCOT reject building.

We should have gotten together with the Japanese and made a pair buildings which transformed into giant walking Mecha.

Then we could have battled for control of the expo.

I also cannot see past the 23rd picture.

Canada, #17: "its illuminated vividly". Sorry. That would be "it's". Short for "it is", eh?

Our US Pavilion is terrible; it looks like a Google web server farm building - ugly. 'Course, Google does own the universe out to the 7th dimension.

Is it just me or did china build an immitation of the edo tokyo museum, but smaller and with some red casing?
search edo tokyo museum in google images.

Canada's pavilion makes the USA pavilion look terrible. Now this makes me happy to be a Canadian citizen, even if I am living in the US.

love it, thanks, but I cant get past picture 23, and darn the designer for the USA really let us down

I can't get past pic-23 going forward and cannot back through the images of this gallery.
I just got back from the Expo and it was incredible.
I'm looking for a book on the details of the pavilions: what the selection process was for each, how they were built, etc. This gallery (up to #23) has great pics. I took lots but with the quantity of visitors each day it's impossible to get photos without hundreds of people and umbrellas!
