2-year Countdown to London Olympics

Last night, a party was held inside the UK Pavilion to mark the two-year countdown to the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games.  Richard Barnes, Deputy Mayor of London, hosted the event. He encouraged expo visitors and exhibitors to make London their next stop in terms of both the Games and business opportunities. Sharing in this vision were four Shanghai-based athletes who hope to participate in the 2012 Olympics. They recieved a Next Stop London flag capturing the best wishes from London. In addition, a troupe of young musicians from the UK's National Youth Theatre delighted the audience with a lively performance.
