Japanese Volunteers Begin Serving in Expo Park

• EXPO 360° ICS will launch a brand new live show during the upcoming World Expo -- “Expo360”.Our reporters and hosts – both Chinese and Western – will take you inside each Expo pavilon for a cross-cultural look at the exhibits and the people and society presenting them.

36 volunteers from Japan have just started working as Expo volunteers. They arrived in Shanghai last weekend. After some training, they are now stationed in Zones A and B in Pudong and Zones D and E in Puxi, near the Japan Pavilion and the Japanese Industry Pavilion. Recruiting of the Japanese volunteers started this April in Japan. Most are college students and retirees - the oldest is 66, and about half of them speak Chinese. They plan to work in the Expo Park for 14 days. Then another 40 Japanese volunteers will replace them.
