There really hasn’t been a lot of progress in exterior construction, except for a few notable exceptions, because much of it has been finished or nearly so. I think most of the work is taking place inside the buildings, and a lot of landscaping is being done. The most [...] Related posts:

Enjoy.

This is the “backside” of the International Pavilion area, facing the train station.

And another shot of the same area.

It appears that most of the outside work is finished on the apartment buildings of Expo Town.
