Momentum for this year's World Cup has been building up in HK for months now. To generate buzz for the event there have been from TV specials travel shows to Brazil, McDonalds serving burgers from the competing countries, and most recently a meet-and-greet event with former English footballer Michael Owen.

To be honest I don't really follow the sport. But all of this hype is bringing out some very interesting displays to celebrate the upcoming tournament. Like Christopher Tan's
nanoblock exhibition on the World Cup, which features a spectacular depiction of Rio de Janeiro. I love how colourful the display is and was really impressed by the number of different buildings and iconic sights that are represented.

The World Cup starts this Thursday, I wonder if anyone will be trying to catch the games at work? I remember a World Cup tournament took place while I was in graduate school. My labmates set up a projector/screen to stream the tournament from online tv stations. It was a fun time because even our supervisor joined in to watch!
