Frank Wong (Canadian, company budget manager):
This is the first time I've been here in the Expo site on the east side of the Huangpu River. My company has a pavilion on the west side of the Huangpu River. I still remember the first time I went to the construction site. It was in late December, and it was chilly. But the construction workers were working hard in the bad weather. I truly want to show my respect for them.
Shanghai is my birthplace. I tried to find the old house I once lived in downtown, but failed because of road and building reconstruction projects. The only thing that remains unchanged is the road's name. I don't think it's bad, because the city is becoming better and better. Although I spend most of my time in Vancouver, Shanghai will always be the place I call home.
My family and I went to the Expo site during the trial operation in late April. It's normal to find problems such as overcrowding or not enough catering booths. I think it's good for organizers to improve and do it better.
