The past few days have been incredible. I have seen and experienced things that I never would have thought even existed! The excitement started on the first day of the World Faire. I made my way to one of the colossal buildings that held the exhibits and took a peak inside. Before I knew what was happening, I found myself neck deep in some of the most fascinating things you could think of. The first thing I saw that really caught my eye was a display of a man by the name Luther Burbank. He grew up on a farm and did not have the highest education, but nonetheless he created so many different types of plants. He made all these new things by taking two different plants and growing them together, or something of the sort. As I made my way across the fairground, I smelled an off scent, something bad to be sure. This only drew my curiosity however and I made my way over to discover the source of the smell. I found an outdoor exhibit where they had large containers of fuel which appeared to be connected to these small metal tubes that were pointed straight up. The apparatus itself was very strange looking, but what happened next really took my breath away. The man operating the thing let the gas flow through the metal end bit, and then made a spark above it and it lit on fire! Now this itself was impressive but what took the cake was that the fire could be adjusted. It was anywhere from a lovely orange to a fierce blue color. To summarize my experience at the Worlds Faire, I would say that it was a collection of some of the strangest yet most intriguing things in the world and I would not hesitate to go back again because the things there are simply amazing.
