It is interesting to notice that the Chinese organisers decided to put Iran and North Korea next to each other, in a rather less attractive part of the Expo.

I’m not sure of the North Korea pavilion’s sense of taste…

The meta-narrative of the Iran pavilion is balanced and subtle!
“Iranian city, the city of justice and benevolence”
