Minding your own business

Many national pavilions have cancelled passport-stamping services because of people like Willen121, who create problems at queues waiting for stamps. However, pavilions are now starting to resume stamping services using volunteers provided by Expo organizers.

Willen121 said he needed to collect more than 100 stamps for each passport to sell them for 260 yuan each.

While having the opportunity to enter the Expo Garden at will is required for those in the passport stamp business, others who do not have this privilege have turned to other means to make some money. Liu Fangchi is one of those. He owns dry cleaning and laundry shop close to Gate 2 in Puxi section of the Expo Garden.
