However, for those of you who don't want anymore words from me, just pictures, here are some of my favourite photos taken around the site.
 |
| The Chinese Pavilion (left) is one of the most impressive at the fair |
 |
No, it's not the great white north. It's regeneration!
|
 |
| Inside the Canadian pavilion there are no words. Visitors are handed an augmented reality tablet which produces some very attractive images |
 |
| A good way to get an overview of the site is from the 2 km walkway along the top of the circular mass timber structure....supposedly the largest in the world. |
 |
| This lunch at one of the onsite restaurants was remarkable in that I never had any contact with a human being. I ordered the food from a tablet on the table, and it arrived on a conveyor. When I was finished, the bill appeared on the tablet! |
 |
| Inside the French pavilion was an interesting display of French fashions. |
 |
| Inside the USA pavilion there was absolutely no mention of tariffs |
 |
| Throughout the site there are public art installations. This one comprised old wheelchairs. |
 |
| All this greenery was found in the Belgium pavilion |
 |
| There were a lot of medical innovations on display |
 |
| The Philippines pavilion was most attractive, especially at night |
 |
| For a brief moment I thought I was back at EXPO 2020 Dubai. When I was there, there was a surprising absence of international visitors. |
 |
| The Future Cities pavilion takes a look back and forward at the five key stages of Society. |
 |
| Kawasaki's futuristic horse! |
 |
| Inside the Chinese pavilion I was greeted by a guide and videographer. I am sure they deleted my comments as soon as the tour was over. But I was impressed! |
 |
| One of the Chinese pavilion displays told the story of a day in the life of a modern middle-class family |
 |
| An impressive theatrical production in the main theatre featured this acrobatic individual in a wheelchair |
 |
| This toilet analyses your stool and provides advance warning of health issues |
 |
| This Honda vehicle is steered by gentle body movements |
 |
| A sea of solar panels surrounding the site helps power the pavilions and transportation, such as this EV bus that derives its power from the road pavement. |
 |
| EXPO 2025 offers a glimpse of the future. And based on what I saw it is promising! |
For more information, check out the many videos that you will find online. Better still, visit Osaka before October 13th and experience the fair yourself. I don't think you'll regret doiing so.
