So I met a friend in Shanghai, who was hanging around the Swiss pavilion at the 2010 World Expo.

The Shanghai Expo ended last fall. My friend hung around in Shanghai for a little longer, took a long journey to Switzerland, and decided to accept my offer to come join me in Orlando.

It seemed like the right thing to do was to take my friend to visit relatives who are on the rooftop at the Energy pavilion at Epcot.

We then went for drinks at the Epcot Coca Cola pavilion.

I insisted that my friend try the Italian beverage, Beverly, of course. It's what you do when you take some to Epcot for the first time. But my friend thought the Watermelon flavor from China was much better. It brought back memories of last year in Shanghai.

We also enjoyed my favorite snack at Epcot together.

My friend didn't have the chance to visit Beijing while in China. Didn't know what the Temple of Heaven is.

We couldn't possibly make the trip to Disney without also visiting the Magic Kingdom.
