It was the most incredible weather weekend. Ever. The rain that has been bothering us for weeks if not months stopped, nasty clouds of smog disappeared, the sun came out, temperatures rose and gorgeous, gorgeous blue skies emerged.

There is no way I can do justice on this blog to the weather we had this weekend. We've never seen it like that during the last three years. It was fantastic and it lasted, well, for four glorious days. The same exact days that the Expo was broadcasting the opening of ceremonies live to the World outside.

As we were sitting outside, having a picnic with a bunch of other foreigners, the same topic of conversation rotated from table to table: This is unbelievable! Blue Skies. Unseen of. We LOVE the opening of the Expo.

Today, the broadcasting vans have left the city and many of the foreign reporters have gone home. And the weather?

It's raining again.
