World's Faire

Today at the World Faire, I had the opportunity to visit amazing exhibits. My first stop on this adventure, was entitled "Art Nouveau". In this section I discovered the "New Art", and the attempt to create an international style. This was fascinating to see because before, art was subjective to each country, but we have taken strides to make it internationally appreciated. The second exhibit I explored, was centered around the advancements of the Belle Epoch. I saw coca-cola, the bunsen burner, electric lightbulb, and blue jeans. These are daily advancements that can significantly improve the daily lives of my family and I. The bunsen burner will allow us to cook food much faster and more efficiently, and blue jeans give us daily clothing that is comfortable yet sturdy. I was even able to try on one of the jeans! I then continued on to the food exhibit! In this exhibit, I saw foods I never even heard of before, like popcorn and the banana split. I never had such extravagant deserts like these, but I was lucky enough to try them out. The banana split was probably my favorite exhibit at the Faire! The last exhibit I went to was the Telephone booth. I can't even imagine calling someone on a phone! This phone is convenient, and is much more advanced than the telegraph. Overall, this was one of the best experiences I have had. I am very excited to attend another World Faire!
