World Faire

Today I went to the World's Faire! It was in the beautiful city of Paris, France, and I traveled all the way from Oxford to see it. It was definitely worth the long travel. I saw hundreds of stands all selling different things. What first caught my eye was the beautiful art works that were displayed in front of shops. It displayed people in settings with lots of things going on and the eye is always attracted to the linear designs and ornate patterns. I also enjoyed the variety of food that were displayed there. A famous botanist, Burbank, had some of his famous foods to buy like the disease resistant potato and the Snowbank berry. Some of the novel technologies of the recent years were also on display, though they were too expensive for most. This included the electric oven, blue jeans, and even a refrigerator for food! It was also fascinating to hear about and even see some of the advancements that they have made in the medicinal field, like anesthesia, blood transfusions and x-rays. In the booths we also could grab food if we got hungry throughout the day. Foods from the US and all across Europe were displayed, and I really enjoyed trying an array of dishes. My favorites were the banana split and the hot dog.
