                                            May 08, 2005: Warm and good weather.  First day to attend the EXPO 2005.  The theme is "The Wisdom 

                                            of Nature".  At least 129 countries have provided pavilions or set up large scale displays as part of regional 

                                            pavilions.  Many countries supported the EXPO theme; whereas many were showcases of their culture.

 

                                            The Romania pavilion included an operatic singer following by a folk marriage dance that was comedic

                                            in nature.  Each country attempted to decorate their interior with native colors or materials.  Holland was

                                            no exception with glazed blue and white tiles covering each wall.  Poland used basket weaving type

                                            material to cover the exterior.
