Thanks for sharing this… unfortunately, I won’t get to Japan before the Expo ends, so it’s great to get this insight to some of the pavilions and details, through your eyes.

Yes, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I really hope I can keep sharing about different places before your trip to Japan, so you’ll have a better sense of where you’d like to go.

Congratulations on having your own exhibit on display! I'm sorry I missed it when I visited last month. I must have been close, though. While the iPS cell display was the most significant, my personal favorite was the Saudi Arabia exhibit because of its unique design and live DJ.

Thank you for the kind comment! And yes, the iPS cell display really was amazing, but I didn’t get a chance to visit the Saudi Arabia pavilion myself… it sounds so cool, especially with the live DJ! Do you happen to have a photo of it? I’d love to see what it looked like!

Wow, thank you for sharing the photo of the DJ! I had a pretty similar impression when I visited too. It was like the whole world had shown up at once. I also ran into issues with the reservation system, but I realized that it was faster to actually line up without reservation than trying to make reservation.
