PAL's section. Long lines.
I went to the expo with my friends during lunch break. There were a lot of people; it was almost suffocating. It was also chaotic. Of course, the bulk of people were crowding PAL and Cebu Pacific's booths. Travel agencies selling Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok tours are teeming with people, too.
There are exhibitors from different agencies and some of the booths were really great. Take Malaysia's replica of Christ Church from Melaka and rickshaw from Penang. And Japan with cuteness overload which came with ladies in kimono plus a makeover booth courtesy of Majolica Majorca. I've seen booths from Taiwan but all they're handing out are maps and directories of leisure farms. Thailand has one, too, but it was simple. However, just before we left, about 10 lady boys arrived, perhaps to stage a show.
A couple of airlines have a photo wall and provide flight attendants' uniform you could wear while having your photo taken. Very cute.

The most rewarding part of the expo? For me, it's collecting travel brochures from country to country. Turkey has some excellent travel brochures in book form, Euro tours, too, in magazine form. Some booths give away reusable shopping bags with the name of the participating booth of course.
We didn't stay long and we weren't able to booth-hop as we only have a very limited time. Hope I could return tomorrow and visit all the booths.
