My Trip to the World's Faire



Going to the world's fair is an experience that I have felt like none other. For the beginning of my trip, I decided to stop by the exhibit on the overview of the Food here. It was a very interesting exhibit. I learned that there was such thing as cotton candy! Ah, what a delectable treat. It feels as soft as a cloud to the touch, but one you lick it it disappears! If I ever an in Tennessee I have to make sure to stop by and get some more of that delicious treat. Also in the food exhibit, I learned of popcorn. Another amazing treat. Apparently it's made from corn! This tastes especially good when you put butter on it. Throughout the exhibit I tried many more amazing foods such as oysters, steaks, and cheese. My favorite part, however, has to be the first time I tried Dr. Pepper. It seems like just an ordinary cola, but actually so much more. I reckon I drank a whole bottle before the people told me to put it down!

On the second day, I visited the exhibit explaining the numerous inventions of the Fair. I first learned of the battery, an extraordinary invention. Apparently that's the thing that makes my automobile go! I also saw the amazing telephone created by Alexander Graham Bell in person. I'm thinking of getting one. I've heard from other people that it a very convenient way of communicating with others. Other notable inventions I saw in this exhibit included the Typewriter, Light bulb, Elevator Brake, Radio, Phonograph, and X Rays to name a few. But the most interesting invention I saw there was the motorcycle by Nikola Tesla. It's like a bike, but motor powered so you can go speeds that rival an automobile. It's a groundbreaking invention, and I must get one once I get back.

Overall, I think that this trip was very interesting. I learned all about the hundreds of inventions these people have made, while also getting to try the delicious food! I definitely plan on attending next year!
