The "rumor mill"

One of the great privileges of working at the Expo is the access to all the rumors that fly around. Some of them true, and some of them not so true.. In this post I will give you the chance to take part in the rumor mill that grinds everyday amusing most parties involved. I want to make very clear though that the following list of statments are only HEARSAY and as of today, have not been confirmed. As the expo moves along we may refer back to the "rumor mill" in order to verify or repudiate the statements.

HERE WE GO:
1) The Aussie pavilion is flipping kangaroo burgers...
2) On the first day og "soft opening" there were several fights, and several pavilions were damaged by crazy visitors on a rampage. The British pavilion was especially targeted...
3) Iceland has a former "miss world, or universe contestant" working for them...
4) Lithuania are lagging faaaaaar behind in their contruction. Will they finish on time?? Who knows...
5) The Saudi Arabian pavilion is the most expensive visiting pavilion...
6) Norway will be hosting a confirmation and a baptism on Sunday (not actually a rumor, but a fact, although interesting non the less)...
7) The bus system at expo is under the organizational spirit of luck and random...
8) Chinese ain't so savvy at standing in line... (note to self: must learn some martial arts for days when I am in charge of the line)
9) Yesterday Expo was pretty much closed because Chinese leaders were enjoying some VIP time around the Chinese pavilion... What about letting us know so we can get to work on time??
10) The finish uniform is apparently a cross between robot and bad style? I have to admit, I am looking forward to seeing them in this get up:) (especially since their pavilion is incredible)

I think ten rumors may be enough for tonight, but the moment I collect some more juicy gossip I will post them ASAP. I should also report that most of the pavilions are pretty impressive already even though they are not totally ready. I am very excited about getting started in our very own "green lung", or the "big tree" (even though the pavilion is actually made up of 15 trees..) as it is known.
Signing off,
Trine :)
