The EXPO

By Tetsuya INOUE

I went to the EXPO on August with my cousins. The EXPO is like a big exhibition. It was held in Aichi prefecture. The theme of the Expo was saving the earth. The sponsors were big Japanese companies like Toyota.

First, my cousins and I went to the Egyptian pavillion because it had a historical theme. I learnt about Egyptian pyramids. Pyramids are very interesting because they have many tricks to fool thieves.

Next, we went to the Chinese and Korean pavillions to learn about their traditions. There were a lot of people at the TOYOTA pavillion. My favorite place was the "Mitsubish" pavillion.

Then we went to the American and Australian pavillions. The security at the American pavillion was very strict, they even had a metal detector!

I liked the Australian pavillion because they introduced a lot of nature and it was very interesting. They taught us about their traditions for example aborigine dances and so on. I like Australian nature because they have a lot of forests, so it is cool.

I wanted to visit the Toyota pavillion but we couldn't go there because of we were so late and we had to leave. I wanted to go to all the pavillions but I couldn't.

At the Expo, I experienced learnt about many countries and cultures for example: food, food culture and so on. I have many good memories from the Expo and I am glad I went.
