The 1970 Osaka Expo was the first world fair in Japan, and it was one of Japan’s most successful events ever. There were over 64 million visitors in six months. Last Friday, the BIE (the Bureau International des Expositions), chose Osaka again. It will hold a world fair in 2025. Japan’s second-largest city was chosen over Yekaterinburg, the fourth-largest city of Russia, and Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. Expo 2025 will be held on Yumeshima, a man-made island, in Osaka Bay. The theme will be “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” Will you be going? (by Douglas Jarrell)
