I wonder how many Japanese friends of mine remember about or actually visited to one of the most exciting events, EXPO ’70 (日本万国博覧会, Nihon bankoku hakuran-kai)which was held at Senri (千里) in Suita city, Osaka, Japan between March 15 and September 13, 1970. The theme of the Expo was “Progress and Harmony for Mankind” (人類の進歩と調和). I think this was representatively and typically the biggest event for Japanese in the period of rapid growth of Showa (昭和の高度成長時代）, in concurrence with Tokyo Olympic Games (東京オリンピック) in 1964.
We can still feel our emotional elevation by visiting EXPO 70 Commemoration Park and the EXPO 70 Pavilion at the same site, where you can know all the statistics, models of all 77 countries pavilions and everything. The EXPO also featured demonstrations of early mobile phones, local area networking and mag-lev (MAGnetically LEVitated) train technology, all of which mankind has lived out in these 43 years. (＠_＠;)
