Yeosu, Jeollanam-do, South Korea
India
====
Was interesting and had traditional shaped arches and a photo of the Taj Mahal to pose by. There were traditional handcrafts and a large bazaar at the end selling many local goods from India. There was also a small counter serving indian snacks. The bazaar was quite lively and fun to walk thru.
Egypt
=====
Was hardly worth the bother. All they had were a pile of blocks in the shape of a pyramid. I suppose with current political problems they didnt have the resources to organize this
Pakistan
=======
The Pakistan pavilion had a massive photo collage outside with a man in traditional dress from the north ushering people in. Inside were many photo exhibits of traditional life and the rich cultural heritage.
Like India they had a handcrafts bazaar at the end. There were wood carved items and figures made from onyx.
Sri Lanka
=======
Had traditional handcrafts but an interesting replica shrine in the middle which you could enter after removing shoes. Towards the end was a food counter selling fresh goods.
Atlantic Ocean Joint Pavilion East & West
===============================
These were two large pavilions on either side shared by a collection of countries. There were many African nations in one and Caribbean ones in the second.
Turkey
=====
This was a large two level pavilion. At the entrance was a vendor selling turkish ice cream which comes with a trick show when you try to buy.
The main level had some painted ceramics and historic artworks. The second level was a cafe selling many fresh made turkish food items.
