SHANGHAI - Liu Ming is not just another visitor to Expo 2010 Shanghai.
He does tour the pavilions, to be sure. But most of the time, the man with a backpack is intent upon getting his business done, which is selling fake Expo souvenirs to curious visitors. He keeps his eyes open for the police, and sells only when they're not around.
Stuffed in his backpack are not only some food and snacks to sustain his one-day trip in the Expo Garden, but also piles of fake Expo mascot called Haibao, among others, that he finds extremely popular with visitors and are easy to sell.
