Silvery white hair and beard, slightly fat body, kindly like a Santa Claus - this is the first impression of Vincent Gonzalez Loscertales, Secretary General of the International Exhibition Bureau. As World Expo of Shanghai approaches, he travels more and more frequently between Paris and Shanghai, and looks forward to a great party that he has fought for nearly 10 years.

Recently, in the office of the National Exhibition Bureau in Paris, Loscertales accepted an interview with Xinhua news agency. He told the anecdotes and highlights of World Expo's preparatory process, and sent some warm and practical tips on World Expo.

Wear good shoes to stroll around the world

In a month or so, Shanghai World Expo will open the door to the whole world. How can we enjoy this wonderful event? Loscertales presented the visitors with a brilliant plan: active participation, careful planning, a detailed guidebook and a pair of good shoes.

He laughed and explained, "I hope people will not just come to Expo Park with the feeling of visiting. World Expo needs everyone's participation. If you are a student, then I hope you can learn a lot from it. If you are an ordinary citizen, you should compare the content displayed with your daily life and think about how we can improve our life. More importantly, everyone should enjoy this great event, which will be a grand festival for all mankind.

Loscertales finally said: "for tourists who are tense, I suggest that they take a guide to the world to experience what they are interested in, and for those who have the chance to stay for a few days, there is no need to say a detailed plan. At the same time, I have a pertinent reminder that I must stare at the time of my visit, and then remember to put on a pair of good shoes!"
