Sam Joffe World's Faire

Today I went to the 1889 World's Faire in the beautiful Paris, France.By traveling through the different exhibits and booths, I was exposed to many new cultures and amazing inventions that I had never heard of. In particular, I ate some food called a hot dog made of beef that was an extremely tasty cheap snack for me. Walking through art galleries, I saw a beautiful gallery filled with this new genre of art called Art Nouveau, which had its roots right here in the City of Lights. I saw the fascinating new elevators that now have brakes that took me all the way to the top of the magnificent Eiffel Tower, the true centerpiece of the faire. Finally, I noticed that all the rooms were illuminated at night by these new things called lightbulbs that shine up a room making a small fire inside a glass bulb hanging from the ceiling. I saw a demonstration of a new tool that harnesses x-rays to make a bone structure picture of a real human body. This will be a huge advancement to doctors and the medical field! I hope to come back here another year to see all the wonders that the world is creating together.
