Better City, Better Life! Expo 2010 - Eats & Drinks

Most people took a 'learn about culture through experiencing the pavilions approach' but we went a slightly different way... We set out on a quest to experience as many countries as possible via their available snacks and beverages...


Mmmmm...Indonesia



Grilling meats

Chicken Satay


Beer of the Gods



And, 1 can of Bintang is only 40 calories!



Sweet hats




Ordering some wine from Australia



The disposable Australian wine glasses fill the stem!



She's never been happier...




Self-timer shot



That self-timer shot gave these two enough time to attack



Russia, Andrew's dream...



Naturally, we visited the Snow Bar



The menu




Apparently, in Russia they call it a 'Bloody Masha...'



The Bloody Masha!



*Sorry, the camera settings got changed to monochrome and we ended up with this green picture of the Canadian pavilion...



But, inside the Canadian pavilion, they had Moosehead!



And poutine!



They also had American mustard and ketchup!



Proud to be a Canadian



The Chinese representation of Canadian hockey players...


It was so painful to watch Chinese people eat Western food. This little boy took his burger and separated it before eating it. Then his dad took over used the knife and fork to cut and mix it into a cheese burger salad.




Mexico!!!

We went straight into the restaurant to grab some snacks!



On the tequila menu,
you could order shoots, bottles or jugs...




We decided on a Corona...



...and a Tequila shoot to accompany our nachos!



After we had our Mexican snack, these Taiwanese students interviewed us for a class project. Their interview was basically: 'Where are you from?' and 'Have you been to the Taiwan pavilion?'



This mom covered each bite of her pizza (from the Italian pavilion) with ketchup... Just another example of how they didn't understand how to eat Western food. At least it was Heinz...



Treats from Thailand!



Waiting in line



Chang, Thailand's finest!



Ice Dew, Thailand's finest!



Tom Yum (with noodles?)



Phad Thai



Sweet hats



Some afternoon steamed dumplings



Waiting in line to buy swirl cones




Snack Success!
