[万博] 愛・地球博

so much to see. our first excursion to the Expo occurred this weekend - needless to say, I want to begin working promptly (read: NOW). the color, country, sun and people are all out in full force. they hit me over the brow, one・two・three, don't let me go. vain attempts at wiping away the enthusiasm cease and the meaninglessness of former missteps drown out in the excitement. people make this their lives, and even i forget that my ascent is behind schedule.

can't we all be this sincere in dreaming of visions? each country showcases their best side, and the UN and Red Cross/Crescent pepper the place with reality. enthusiasm is real, though, and this affects change - just be sure to wear your sunscreen.

and the queues, my God the queues! enough for the entire field of management science to indulge their sickest sensibilities. plasma flat-screens bow to Super High-Vision and ol' "i never quite got around to decomposing" Mammoth welcome all visitors with equal flare.

the big Japanese corporations create the biggest stir, and i've got a sneaking suspicion that Toyota paid for it all.
