No picnic in the park

Why I am not going to the Shanghai Expo or anywhere close to it

My parents are coming to China for the first time later this month and want to climb the Yellow Mountain (Huangshan), mainly because they saw it on Avatar. My mum raves there will be spectacular views, unbelievable scenery and mystical serenity.

"Why wouldn't we go?" she asks. A little too bluntly, I reply, "No, you don't want to go. There will be too many Expo visitors."
