[quote=CHRISTINE,398440]How long do you have to queue for visiting a pavilion at the Shanghai Expo site? You will be frustrated if you get the answer. To visit those popular pavilions such as China Pavilion, Spain Pavilion and Belgium-EU Pavilion, you might wait for more than 2 or 3 hours.

In order to skip the time for queuing, some people figure out an easy way---pretending as ‘the disabled’. According to a certain rule, the seniors (over 70 years old), the handicapped, pregnant women and babies can skip the long queue and enter the pavilion through GREEN channel. Thus, some people rent the wheelchairs at the expo site to pretend as ‘the disabled’ so that they can enjoy a quick-pass.

Because of the fake disabled people, those who are really in need of wheelchairs can not rent one. There are eight places inside the expo site that offer wheelchair rental service. Yesterday, a journalist visited two of them and was told that there were around 1000 wheelchairs but they were all rent out before 10:30.

A local graduate in Shanghai wrote a letter to the city leaders, condemning this shameful and uncivilized behavior.
