  1. An #India-#Japan alliance could prove monumental for the #solar industry. The International Solar Festival at the #OsakaExpo set an optimistic tone for future partnerships to both counter #China & the increasingly anti-solar #US

  2. I finally got round to sorting through all my photos from my Japan trip in April. It's fair to say that I got a bit snap-happy while I was out there. I've not added captions (because, honestly, who has time to write over a thousand photo captions?) but, if anything needs an explanation, leave me a comment.

    Let me know your favourites!

  3. Went back for another assignment at #Osaka #worldExpo #Japan and saw no line at the mediocre #India (sorry, "Bharat") pavilion but a decent line at the far-superior #Indonesia pavilion.

    Word has gotten around, it seems.

  4. Mathematics as a Bridge Between Cultures at Expo 2025 Osaka 🇯🇵

    From July 18 to 27, 2025, researchers from the University of Liège (ULiège), the @unifr (UniFr), and the University of Luxembourg (UniLu) will present the project “Traces” at the World Expo in Osaka.

    This project is the result of a great collaboration between three universities from multilingual countries with strong commitments to both research and public engagement.

  5. #India pavilion at #Osaka #WorldExpo was a #Hindu-nationalist showcase, adorned with religious symbols, showcasing temples and and scriptures through. Didn't see a single mention of #Islam anywhere nor much of anything from #SouthIndia

    Stark contrast to the far superior #Indonesia pavilion next door, which highlighted the country's cultural & natural diversity, not highlighting one religion or ethnic group over others.

  6. Have to cover an assignment at the #India pavilion at the #Osaka #worldexpo tomorrow.

    I wonder how they're going to react to a #Japanese outlet sending a #SouthIndian American journalist to cover their event?

  7. 🇯🇵 I’m at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Nippon for the next 2 days!

    Is there a country you would like me to visit and report on? Reply and I will try to visit.

  8. 🇯🇵 I am on my way to Nippon for the first time! This also is my first “just for me” travel—no work, no friend or family instigation—in a long time. The break is much needed. I will visit Kyoto, Tokyo, and Osaka. So many more places I would like to see that will have to wait for a second trip to the country.

  9. #EXPO2025 #Osaka #Kansai #Japan that many have worked hard for has finally realized their #opening ceremony today. We are looking forward to visiting it in a few weeks' time. #subarashi #素晴らしい

  10. #CocaCola is installing what the company claims to be the world’s first #hydrogen powered vending machines at the #WorldExpo 2025, which will open to the public in Osaka, #Japan, on April 13th, 2025. Co-developed by #FujiElectric, the machines don’t need access to a power outlet and instead rely on replaceable hydrogen cartridges to fuel a chemical reaction that generates electricity theverge.com/news/633779/coca-

  11. I’ve lived in this city for decades, and only now do I discover (by accident / serendipity) these wonderful modernist pedestrian bridges.

    They were part of the 1930 World Expo in Antwerp, built in an old entrenchment-turned-park.

    📍: Mastvestpark, Antwerp, Belgium

  12. President Yoon Suk-yeol visited #Busan on Wednesday after the city's failed bid to host the 2030 #WorldExpo, reiterating his push for Busan's infrastructure development to support its growth as a global hub.

  13. #SouthKorean President Yoon Suk-yeol arrived in #Paris to make a final appeal for #Busan's bid to host the 2030 #WorldExpo ahead of next Tuesday's decisive vote among BIE member states.

  14. Foreign Minister Park Jin will travel to #France this week for the final pitch in #SouthKorea's bid to host the 2030 #WorldExpo in #Busan. He will meet with BIE officials and seek support from member countries before the November 28 announcement.

  15. #SouthKorean PM Han Duck-soo plans to embark on a five-nation tour of #Africa and #Europe to garner support for hosting the 2030 #WorldExpo in #Busan and strengthen bilateral ties.

    The host country will be decided in a vote by the Bureau International des Expositions in late November.

  16. A scene from Aichi-Expo Park (Ai Chikyu-Haku Kinen Koen (愛・地球博記念公園).
    The Weltexpo took place there in 2005.
    Unfortunately, I was not privileged to be there.
    It wasn't until many years later that I managed to visit.
    In addition to a museum, the site has now been converted into a park.
    I'll have my next chance at Expo 2025 in Osaka, if it takes place.

  17. We have a winner! In the final round of voting, Belgrade has beaten Malaga 81 votes to 70 and wins the right to host Expo 2027 in Serbia.

    The theme is "Play for Humanity: Sport and Music for All".

  18. That leaves Rome, Busan, and Riyadh in the race for Expo 2030. Voting takes place in November.

    Tomorrow, meanwhile, BIE members will be voting on the hosting rights for the smaller-scale Expo 2027 (or 28, if Phuket wins). It's a five way shoot-out between Bariloche, Belgrade, Malaga, Phuket, and Minnesota. Looking at flight prices, my wallet would not mind one bit if Malaga wins the bid (plus the city genuinely looks an interesting place to visit)!

  19. So, the BIE have announced that Odessa is out of the running for hosting Expo 2030. Which is fair enough. As much as I love the dream of a post-war Ukraine welcoming the world in 2030, serious logistic planning would need to start from late-2023 onwards, and that just seems impossible (and, probably, distracting).

  20. Exactly one year ago, I had just finished my first day exploring Expo 2020 in Dubai. Yup, I'm going to be thinking about travel a lot this week. I gotta get my next holiday sorted.

  21. Huh, just realised that yesterday would have been the opening day of Expo 2023 in Buenos Aires, if it hadn't been for the pandemic. I feel like I'm missing out and, yet, I'm not sure I would have been able to afford a trip to Argentina. Conversely, I probably wouldn't have been able to go to Expo 2020 if COVID hasn't delayed the opening and given me an extra year to save up.

    Either way, my wanderlust is growing to severe levels and I need to book a holiday. 😅
