World's Fair Passports

World's Fair Passports have been around since Expo 67.

Do you have a world's fair passport story?

Let me know if you do. I'm currently writing an article for China Daily about them.

The Expo '67 Site: 40 Years Later

I love visiting the sites of former world's fairs and finding little artifacts here and there.

There aren't many like me that could get excited at finding evidence of the foundation for the Australian Pavilion at site of the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, but I know I'm not alone.

This wonderful collection of photos documents the same views of Montreal's Expo '67 site in 1967 and 2007.
