Shanghai World Expo

When I was in school, one of the values that was drilled into me was, 'If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well'.  China seems to have taken this principle to the max for this expo.

65 BILLION US dollars to showcase Shanghai and China, amazing pavillions from the host country and the UK, Netherlands and Norway - and probably many others besides - and all to be pulled down in October.

What does all this say about world poverty and world priorities?
