Medeth Alqahtani will expand his collection of national pins over the next five years as the 49-year-old Qatar Pavilion official plans to participate in the next two Expos: Yeosu 2012 and Milan 2015. Alqahtani has already become famous within the Expo Garden for his collection of 500 World Expo pins. "I will give the pins I collected from around the world to my children, and I hope they can have the same hobby as me," he said.

The Expo has given him a chance to make new friends and understand different cultures, he said.
