Milan - Day 1, Expo Milano 2015

After a efficient trip from the airport to the NH Collection Milano President Hotel we decided to take in the Milano Expo 2015 (http://www.expo2015.org/en). It is basically the World's Fair focused on food and sustainability. Entrance is 39 Euros day or 7 Euros evening. The place is busy. The theme of Expo 2015 is Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life. Expo runs from May 1 to October 31. Over 140 countries have created pavilions to show off the creativity through architecture, exhibits, food and yes, music. We were advised to visit Germany, Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, USA and Slow Food Organization pavilions during our visit. Some lines to enter pavilions reached 1 hour so we spent most of the day wandering, eating and enjoying music.
