| Source of Energy |
Among the various exhibitions in the Germany Pavilion at Expo 2010, we appreciate the "Source of Energy" the most. This is the highlight of the Germany Pavilion. The show is very impressive. It is really a fantastic and marvelous journey.
After we had finished our tours moving around from one section to another section of exhibition in the Germany Pavilion, we subsequently came to the last part of the exhibitions. Going down stair and through a door, we got into a large hall where was rather dark. We then found ourselves standing among crowds of people who were spreading around a large circular hollow space. Seeing through a metal-wire barrier, we spotted a giant sphere hanging in the air at the center of the hall. When the show started with glimpse of lights on the metal sphere, we recognized that people were standing around the sphere in different levels. There were around several hundreds of people at a time watching the ten-minute show performed by a 2,000kg metal sphere. We later on learned that the sphere was 3 meters in diameter and covered with hundred thousands of LEDs.

| Watching the Source of Energy |
Two narrators came into the hall to lead the show. A young German man named as Jens and a Chinese girl Yan Yan started the introduction with dialogues. Yan Yan invited one of the volunteer visitors to blow on her microphone. We were surprised to see the sphere respond to the blow and start moving. It looked like that the movement of the sphere was pushed by the blow. Everybody cheered up and shouted. Jens encouraged us to shout loudly. Our noises made the sphere swing like a hanging pendulum. Yan Yan divided us into two groups. The group with louder noises made the sphere swing more to the opposite side. The louder we could shout together, the greater gradient the sphere would swing and turn. The colorful image patterns on the surface of the sphere kept changing, twinkling and sparkling. This had lightened up the entire hall. As we shouted to a greater level, the sphere revolved faster and the lights turned brighter than before. This cheered us up and let us feel the power of co-operations in the delivery of energy to our city.
