YEOSU EXPO



The World's Far is in Korea this year, and despite all the hubbub I overheard about the long lines and mass amounts of people, I went with a group of friends to the east coast city of Yeosu to check it out.

After a downpour at our arrival, we purchased some dollar ponchos and made the best of it. Street performance was seen. German beer was drank. Spanish tapas was eaten. The International pavilion proved to be the highlight of the adventure as the lines for the talked about aquarium and robot exhibit exeeded three hours in wait time.

It was oh, so busy but definitely proved worthwhile. It was a day of adventure, much like many during my time here, that involved a quick bus ride out of my city into another that yielded a feeling of being transported lifetimes away. The architecture was unique compared to the usual rectangular, cookie-cutter buildings I stare at in the city. And hey, the World's Fair really isn't something to miss.
