Particularly well-know Asian countries, China, South Korea and Japan, maybe because most of the visitors seemed to be from Western countries.<br \/>The Japanese pavilion was one of the places I really wanted to go, but I would have to had to wait for over five hours, after 10 minutes I gave up. I thought forming long queues was like a patent for only Japanese people, but western visitors in the EXPO also did that. It surprised me a little.<br \/>I saw many drinking water fountains which had NORMAL water* and sparkling water in the EXPO. That\u2019s Europe. I wonder how about Beijing EXPO and Aichi EXPO\u2026 I\u2019ve been to Aich EXPO, but don\u2019t remember about the water.<br \/>*It mean natural water.

Because I was invited to the festival by them. I didn&#8217;t feel comfortable staying there. I thought it wasn\u2019t suitable for me because I wasn\u2019t dressed formally, I was a dirty backpacker. I was overwhelmed with shame. But I soon completely forgot about that feeling, because I was busy tasting many\u00a0glasses of sake, chatting with the people and getting drunk.<br \/>I can\u2019t deny the decorations at the venue of the Sake event were poor\u2026 The president of ACGI also complained, \u201cThey have this event in MILANO and many good sakes, but what is this place&#8230;\u201d. It made me think the words, \u201cCool Japan\u201d on the freebies were a shame\u2026 (Don\u2019t mention who do I think I am.)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_701\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-701\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-701\" src=\"https:\/\/u26884.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5605.jpg\" alt=\"\u3048\u3048\u9152\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/u26884.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5605.jpg 800w, https:\/\/u26884.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5605-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/u26884.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5605-620x465.jpg 620w, https:\/\/u26884.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5605-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-701\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u3048\u3048\u9152<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After that, we went to eat mussels including starting drinking again.<br \/>They were so delicious! Delicious. The white wine also was delicious. Hmm\u2026 delicious. This was a treat from the people of ACGI.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All of above were good experiences for me.
