| Czech Pavilion |
The Czech Pavilion has given us an amazing surprise not just because of its attractive exhibitions but also its hard work for the Shanghai Expo 2010. While most pavilions are closing their doors at 09:00pm, the Czech Pavilion still welcomes new visitors at 09:30pm. The Czech Pavilion is a rectangular building. On the walls of the pavilion, there are a large number of ice hockey pucks patterned in the map of the Old Town of Prague, the capital of Czech. Ice hockey is the national sport of Czech. The entrance of the pavilion is rather pretty. It looks rather like a giant spiraling ribbon. To enter the pavilion, visitors have to get through the ribbon coils. The theme of the Czech Pavilion is "Fruit of Civilization". In the exhibition hall, there stands a brass statue. In the Czech tradition, people believe that they will receive good luck if they touch a certain part of the statue. It is the first time that people could make a wish with the statue out of Czech. A giant kaleidoscope, named as the Czech Pearl, is shown with various beautiful patterns. Scientific technologies achieved by Czech include nanofiber, contact lens, and crystals. Other than visual displays, the pavilion lets visitor participate in the interactive programs. Sitting on a small airplane, people can see themselves appear on the TV screen and fly over the Czech cities. In another section, people can generate electricity by rubbing the thermal paper. The quicker a person rubs, the brighter the light will be.
