I used to hear alot of hoo-ha about this exhibition when I was studying... and had always been interested to go.. so pretty elated when I got a chance to go because SSPL has a booth which a batch of us take turns to 'look after'.
The whole day in Expo was a super eye-opening experience for me. I never expect so many foreigners coming to the exhibition, some with their luggages, others is full suits. I mean here is Singapore, burning like fire, and these people were so dressed up. Shows how much they value this exhibit.
Saw alot of fanciful phones too! Some guy told me that in the past used to be the telecommunications that rule the exhibit, but this year it is very obvious that the phone companies that are the big shot. You can see how big Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, LG, Panasonic booths were... There was even one China phone company... started with 'H'. Can't remember already. And the models they hired were all of standard one =D
The scary thing is mealtimes. No matter how late you go for your meals, you will forever see a crowd of people trying to settle their meals too. Imagine if Expo did not just open their food courts 2 months or so ago. But I was told that in the past, for big events, they will have make shift food stalls too. As everybody knows, Expo used to have only BK as their eatery. Imagine everybody eating at BK in the past, you can roughly speculate how much BK has been earning those few years.
In short it had been a worthwhile experience. Knew alot of Malaysia companies too.
