A good friend of mine was hired in 1970 to work at the American pavilion. That Expo sounded like a worthwhile opportunity to showcase Japan and for Japanese people to see firsthand what other countries and cultures had to offer.

The current Expo sounds like a big, old-fashioned boondoggle. Especially the casino.

Sounds like the shonky development in Australia. Where do these people get the template?!

Haha! I guess when it comes to greed and money, tutto il mondo e' paese.

PS Thanks for teaching me a new word!

True, that. What new word? Shonky?
