Australia maxicards - Shanghai World Expo 2010 ( 18.05.2010)


The Shanghai World Expo 2010 takes place from 1 May to 31 October 2010, with over 190 participating countries. "Peng Peng" (鹏鹏) is the name of the welcoming Australian kookaburra mascot featured on the stamp. 
"Peng" is indeed a very well-chosen name - the character "Peng"(鹏) evokes a sentiment of ambition and glory in Chinese (鹏程万里) and “Peng”(朋) also means "friendship" in Mandarin.
