Four years ago Leslie's, cousin Bill shared with her his desire to go to a world expo. In particular he wanted to go to the 2025 Osaka Expo. So we put it on the spreadsheet and here we are. Bill, Diane and Abbe have joined us here in Osaka. This was our first day visiting and we were duly impressed. It is a very large layout, there is a wooden circle that you can see above. It is the largest wooden structure in the world and it is 2 km around,
There are thousands of people arriving
Many are dressed like the mascot or have a mascot plushie
Standing in line, the umbrellas came out
So many flags
So many don'ts, most interesting is no baseball bats or golf clubs
Another set of don'ts, no displaying banners, no distributing plant seeds
