New online platform for youngsters to share Expo experience (with photos)
************************************************************

     The Government youth portal, youth.gov.hk , has launched a "Shanghai Wall Post" Facebook page (www.facebook.com/shanghaiwallpost) to provide an interactive platform for youngsters to share their experiences at the Expo 2010 Shanghai China (Shanghai Expo).

     Facebook users can simply log in to "Shanghai Wall Post" and click "Like" to join and receive exclusive news and travel tips relating to the Shanghai Expo. Young people can also share their experience of visiting the Shanghai Expo by uploading comments and photos directly to the page.

     There is also an online game, "Journey to Expo" (Chinese version only), that tests the knowledge of participants in relation to Shanghai Expo. By taking part in this quiz, players can challenge themselves to become an "Expo champion".

     Selected posts and photos from "Shanghai Wall Post" are also displayed in "Shanghai Wall Post - Journey to Expo 2010" (www.youth.gov.hk/expo2010), a special website created by the government youth portal to promote Hong Kong's participation at Shanghai Expo.

     The website also gives a glimpse of the best attractions in Shanghai through a collection of snapshots, and provides all the essential information on the programmes and activities to be staged by Hong Kong at Shanghai Expo. People can get the latest news and learn more about the Hong Kong Pavilion and Hong Kong's Urban Best Practices Area Exhibition. "Shanghai Wall Post - Journey to Expo 2010" can be easily shared with friends via Xanga, Twitter and Facebook.
