Really? We couldn't agree more and find the 1 million people an un-extraordinary number in China. We just liked that someone got a "Texas cowboy hat," which Chinese family may have made. We are pretty sure that if anyone visited the Taiwanese pavilion, it was Chinese soldiers. Were we gushing? Really?
