A transparent cement Pavilion in Shanghai

From May, Shanghai will hold an Expo whose theme is Better City, Better Life. Over 200 countries will participate in the gathering, which will show the world the latest developments in science, technology and architecture.

Among the highlights pavilions is the huge red inverted pyramid from China, the Italian one, with 6,000 panels of transparent cement, while Spain is presented in a striking facade wicker pavilion designed by Benedetta Tagliabue.

From 11 June to 4 July, the focus of all attention will be South Africa and the World Cup. Outside of sports emotions and the events related to this (we explain everything in eventos magazine 28), the country offers other attractions such as natural parks or their wines internationally renowned. If you´re thinking of organising an event there and you can afford it, consider boarding your customers in one of the luxury trains that travel the country, aboard which we can make tasting courses.
