Visiting the World's Faire

June 1889

Today I visited the World's Faire. It was in the beautiful city of Paris, France. I was rather hungry, so I first visited the food's booth. I tried 'cotton candy' for the first time and it was amazing. It melted in my mouth! I will definitely buy this treat again. Later, I found myself standing under the Eiffel Tower and I was awestruck. That led me to seek out the Eiffel Tower booth. I was surprised to find that it's the tallest building in the world!

Because I love hearing about the advances in medicine and like to stay up to date, I decided to visit the radiology booth. I learned all about the x-ray and all the applications that radiation has are amazing. However, I found that it comes with many health concerns, so I will be sure to warn my colleagues. Following up with what I found about radiology, I visited the advances in vaccines and medicine booths. I was surprised to find that life expectancy has improved (woohoo!), but a disease known as cancer has become a prominent issue. However, I can relax a little bit because vaccines for diseases such as typhoid fever and cholera have finally been discovered. 

Overall, visiting this world's faire was a marvelous experience. I am proud so say that I am part of such an innovative era. I can't wait until the next world's faire here in 1900!
