Will we ever see this future in our lifetime?
This place where I’m standing
didn’t exist before, and it won’t exist anymore
in a few months, and yet it’s the largest wooden
structure in the world. Welcome to the Expo 2025
in Osaka, Japan. For months, all eyes have been on Osaka, as the city hosted the World Expo, a celebration of innovation,
sustainability, and cultural exchange. – Hello [in Korean]
– Hello [in Korean] We were lucky enough to visit all the large pavilions that won
the Expo’s top awards, and many, many others. The event was so successful that
it even turned a profit, something few Expos can claim. And it drew millions of visitors,
mostly from Japan. So what was it like for two foreigners to cross the planet to witness history? Flying taxis, transport pods
that may change the way we travel, and even a heart created from
stem cells in a lab. This video is our way to
relive the magic. I’m still crying. Osaka, Japan – If anybody ever wanted to know
what to do at the Expo, I have the official guidebook right here. – That’s a lot. – It’s a thousand pages. – Are you sure? – Yep. Three hundred and four. Three hundred and four pages. – First stop, the store. because of this. I need one. Ta-da! Home sweet home. – Hello! Your first, first pavilion. – Let’s go to America! This room is called the Innovation Room, where we talk about different innovations that America has with Japan, and the ways we work together to
create a better world. – Is it gonna take off? Is it gonna take off? [Music] [Laughing] Greetings to everyone in the
US pavilion in Osaka. I felt like I was in Disney
here, you know, all the tech, animation, amazing. Like in Epcot. Among the innovations in the US pavilion, they’re heavily focusing on
space exploration. I think we’re in for something
very cool right now. Wow, this came from the moon. Some of the upcoming events here that we’re very excited about. The World Cup… 250…
– One, two, three. – Yes! 250th anniversary of the country
and the Olympics. You can stamp here,
the countries that you visit. I got my own passport here,
first stamp. Okay! [Laughs] I’m very happy to see Brazil with “s”, you know, for the first time. – They’re here! No doors open. Well, you know what that means, Renata? We go to Canada, because they’re open. – Canada! – Canada is open, and I get to wear a pin. Proud Canadian that I am. What did you get, Renata? – Canada is not only open,
but they gave you a pin. – Hello.
– Welcome to the Canada pavilion. – You’re talking to a Canadian. – Oh! – You already got the badge.
– I got one, yes. – Maybe I can level up
– Level up, uh-oh What part of Canada are you from? – From Victoria. – Victoria, okay. – Which part are you from? – Medicine Hat. – I think I’ve gone by… – Excellent, thank you. – How cute! Let me see, let me see. They pamper you here. Excited to see your country? – This is an AR technology piece. So there will be some icebergs. Point the tablets at the icebergs. There’s a lot of different
things to discover. I think you’ll recognize a lot of places
and try to enjoy it all. – Excellent, thank you. Salmon. – Wow. – Salmon. – It does get a little dark. – How cool. Oh, wow. – Lots of things are hidden. – Uh-huh. – Ah, It’s like the formation of the country. – Wow. The ice shield has melted. And it revealed the country. Come here, come here, come
here, come here. This is Canada. North to south. We came in from the north. And you know how I knew? 49th parallel. – Wow. Newfoundland is the very typical
of eastern Canada. The colors of the houses. This is Quebec City. Hotel up on the hill. Classic hotel. And you go on down and here’s
the old, original city. – Very cool that you can see the
whole Canada over here. So I’ll let the Canadian guide me. – It’s a gigantic iceberg. Come here. Niagara Falls. – Beautiful. Ready for Canada. – Number two. – Where are you guys from? – Florida. But he’s Canadian, actually. – If you want it in the correct zone, it’s in the Empowering Lives zone. See, this is the green. – You need to pay attention.
– I did not pay attention [laughiing] Oh my goodness. So there you go. – Just anywhere there. – See, green, green.
– Yes. Yeah. – There you go. – You should be the one showing this. You’re the Canadian one here.
– No, that’s okay. – Yeah. There you go. Yeah, we made it. Qatar blended their traditional dhow boats
with the Japanese wooden architecture. The line was too big and
we couldn’t get in. This is a lesson we quickly learned here. In two days, we’d only get to see a small
fraction of the 160 pavilions. Japan now, it’s a circular structure,
representing the cycle of life. So smooth. In the U.S., you could only see the moon. Here you can touch Mars. This is one of the world’s largest
Martian rocks. Wow, Japan is recycling
the entire food of the expo, and they’re showing here,
in the pavillion, how they’re doing it. There’s an audio guide. Only in Japan, right? Where else could you find
a cute way to display algae? They used Hello Kitty’s to show
thrity two different types of algae. And why is algae so important? Look at this. They can absorb 14 times as much CO2
as compared to a cedar tree. Among other things.
Using the same amount of water, 50 times as much protein as beef. It’s amazing how they made recycling a whole
show here, and how beautiful it is. And now we see the full circle,
stools being created from the recycled materials
mixed with algae. Same concept for so many other products. This is a DIY football because you can not
only do it yourself, you can replace… You can put the colors that you want. Parts can be replaced. – Is it really made of leather? – No, it doesn’t say. Inspired by traditional Japanese
bamboo baskets. The kick feel should be similar
to a real football. – Do you get it? Artwork made by water dropping,
and it dries so quickly it continues. – Japan! Got it! I got it! Where are we right now? – Turkey. – Turkey, but it’s not Turkey anymore. – Turkiye!
– Turkiye. Wow, they blended the Turkish
and the Japanese flags. Look at this, with the sun and the moon. Look at this. – Do you like a Turkish carpet? – Yeah, that’s beautiful. So symbolic of Turkiye. Look at everything, how beautiful. And everything’s for sale here. – I guess the idea
is a Turkish market, right? – Yeah.
– You can pick up stuff. – Yeah, a Turkish bazaar. – Bazaar. – It’s beautiful. Look at the Japanese construction
technique, how amazing. No nails to hold this entire structure. It’s all made of wood honoring Japan’s long-standing tradition in
wood construction. – I notice this line. It’s up here too. Oh, they cut the wood like this. They fit. Then you come over. It’s one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen pieces. They connect at different spots. Total wood, right? – Uh-huh. – And is there no screws? – No nails. No nails, no screws. That’s how they hold it. Or… – It’s amazing. – Interesting. Oh, one last thing. Two different. One, two. – This place where I’m standing
didn’t exist before, and it won’t exist anymore
in a few months. And yet, it’s the largest wooden
structure in the world. This is the signature of the Expo 2025
in Osaka, known as the Grand Ring. And it’s a two-kilometer circle. Look at this. You can walk all over. Pretty good view of what to
expect when you go down. The plans are to preserve only 10% of the
ring, and repurpose the rest of the wood to build social houses in an area
affected by a recent earthquake. But it turns out that people here fell
in love with this structure. And now many want to preserve it as is. There’s even an online petition. The reason? It embodies the event’s
overall message of Unity in Diversity. As for six months, all countries peacefully
and happily shared this space. Also, you get a pretty good
view of the area, something that otherwise
wouldn’t be possible. A lot of innovations that
today we take for granted were first showcased at these Expos. Examples? – Microscope. There was the ferris wheel. – That’s important, huh? – And the telephone. And for those of you who don’t know that was a precursor to the cell phone. – This is the second time that
Osaka is hosting the Expo. The first one was in 1970. It was the first one in Asia,
by the way, at that time. It was actually revolutionary
because they introduced a lot of things that today
we can’t live without. Washing machines,
moving walkways, monorail, mobile phones that evolved until they
became our cell phones. It is also here that they introduced
the famous Japanese toilet you know, with the bidet functions. And also electric bikes, electric cars. Imagine, this was in 1970. I had read that the first fast food chain,
say that ten times fast, fast food chain, was introduced at the
Osaka Expo in 1970. And you know which one it was? Ehhh, it wasn’t in McDonald’s. Ehhh, it wasn’t Burger King. It was KFC. – KFC, yeah. And they opened the doors for all the
others that came after that. It all started in Osaka. – Do you see the half roof? – Mm-hmm. – It’s a mirror. A mirror. – That’s so amazing. While most of the other buildings
just have a regular roof, look at Thailand. – Yeah, it’s cool. – Some pavilions have nice
outdoor cafes or rooftops. Look at Belgium. – Oh, Vatican, Italy. I was told we should go there. We should, as in we must. As in, we’re probably visiting. – I didn’t know Algeria is so big. Look at this. Largest country in Africa, the Arab world,
and the Mediterranean basin. Did you know?
– No. – But 80% of the country is covered
by the Sahara Desert. – Look how big. Oh, you missed it. How big it was. – Algeria’s fight to stop desertification dates back to the country’s independence and
have since inspired global solutions. – Hmmm, reforestation. You can write your wishes for Algeria. That is so nice. And your wish is to visit Algeria. – Yeah, you’re right. Okay. Cambodia. – Angkor Wat. – Want to visit that one too? – I will. Textiles. – How beautiful. How detailed. – Latvia, Lithuania. Recognized with rich cultural practices. And sites. – Where are we right now? – Lithuania or Latvia? – Latvia and Lithuania. – Which one?
You can’t be in both. It has to be one or the other. – Yeah, they’re promoting the Balkans. It’s missing one, right? – They’re what? They’re promoting the Balkans. – Only the Balkans? I thought the Balkans were south. – Baltics. – Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. I’m going to Latvia. You end up in Albania. Doesn’t happen that often. – Ahh, Italia! Italia! Oh. Look at this.
– It’s like a space station? – Yeah, but we have
the view from Earth also. – And you click on this and it
tells you what it is? – Yep. Let’s see the Earth view. Hawaii. Osaka. Nothing. Nothing to see in Brazil. – Wow, I think this image perfectly
represents what Italy is. They’re displaying a combination
of art and innovation. This sculpture and other
original works of art will stay in Japan
for temporary exhibitions. – When you come to Italy,
go to the Holy See, Vatican. – They brought a masterpiece
by Caravaggio that we didn’t see in Rome,
and we see all the way in Japan. The meaning? Beauty renews hope and the human spirit,
guiding us towards a shared future. Four original sheets of the
largest collection of drawings and writings by
Leonardo da Vinci. – Jeez, they are really bringing
out some art, huh? – Yeah. – Italy’s pavilion is a museum. Antiquities in the Italian pavilion. – Venezia, the most ancient, smart city. How, cool. They’re highlighting Venice here because
it’s a city that over the centuries had to adapt, you know, to all the adversities
it constantly goes through. So it has always been a place
of innovations. Here, I got two different stamps. In one pavilion. Got both the Holy See in Italy. – Two for the price of one. – Now you may ask, what’s the connection between Leonardo da Vinci,
Caravaggio, and so on? Those were all people
ahead of their time. Italy won the Gold Award
in Theme Development. – Ahh, what you get here? – Bomboloni. It’s like an Italian donut, but its Italian, you know,
so there’s more on top. than a regular donut. – Looks good, but you only got one. One bombolini And you know what that means? I’m always hungry. There’s nothing left for her. [laughing] This looks like some nuts,
walnuts and caramel. Mm. Mm. That’s good. Oh, I think it has
a little bit of stuff inside, too. – A little bit. – A little bit, I think. Yeah, it’s got a little bit
center-filled grandma. – One thing very important
I forgot to mention before about eating or shopping
here inside the expo, it’s all cashless. If you just bring cash,
you cannot do anything here. What I read online is that it’s
a way to speed up, you know, the cashless
movement here in Japan because this is still a very
cash-based society. But then you might think,
“Oh, I don’t have a credit card.” A credit card is just one
method of payment. They accept more than 70. Now, what is the Expo? You know, this is a long-standing tradition
that started in the U.K. in 1851. It was a way to show in what
the most brilliant minds in the world at the
time were working on and what could general people
expect for the future. And a lot of landmarks that
we see all over the world, you know, were created
for these expos in their respective countries like the Eiffel Tower,
Grand Palais, Petit Palais in Paris, the Space Needle in Seattle,
the Atomium in Belgium, and even the head of the Statue of Liberty
was on exhibition in Paris before France gave the whole statue
as a gift to the U.S. So some of what we see today
and think about the Jetsons might be just regular
life 50 years from now. That is a flying taxi.
That’s a flying taxi. It’s like a bunch of drones together. Whoa! Yeah! When do you think we’ll see
this on the streets? Woo-hoo! Ah! Look, ma, no hands! It’s landing all by itself. He’s got no hands controlling it. Very, very cool.
But how different is that from a helicopter? – How is it different?
– Yeah. – It’s all electric, and you can
pilot this in the U.S. and very soon here in Japan
with no pilot’s license. – Wow! It’s an ultralight category aircraft,
so anybody can fly it. It’s extremely easy. You saw I pressed a
button and it took off on its own. I pressed the button and it
landed all on its own. It takes all the hard parts of flying and
makes the computers do that for you. – Wow. – This really is kind of the future
of aviation in that way. And we’ve had hundreds of people in the
U.S. already come and fly this. Again, without a pilot’s license
and about one hour of training is all it takes to learn
how to use this aircraft. – That’s amazing. Is it the same model that
you have in Lake Nona in Orlando? Because I’ve seen something
similar there. – Yeah, we were in Florida and this is the
very same model that we have out there. – Oh, okay. Very cool.
– Yeah, absolutely. – Awesome. Thank you.
– Yeah, absolutely. Thanks, y’all. – Oh, they’re also testing new
mobility devices here. You control with your own body. Move forward. Stop. The expo is huge. There’s so much to see,
so much to walk. You need multiple days here because in one day or even two,
you cannot see everything. Some pavilions accept reservations and we were able to make
a few, that definitely helps. But it’s like a lottery, you know, so we didn’t get a lot of those
that we applied for. Look at the headset for you
to listen to the audio guide. How cool! – And I get to take it home?
-No. – No, okay. – He lives here, so…
– Okay. – It works. Look at this. Look at this, Germany.
100% renewable energy by 2035. From the mascot to the displays, everything here involves the
concept of circularity. Germany won the Sustainability Award and
the Silver Award in Theme Development. – Urban mining. Demolish the buildings,
reuse the materials. – You had to find a game, didn’t you? It’s very interesting how Germany is promoting sustainability through their cities. You know, it’s not only showcases the cities
like some countries are doing, but they show what the cities are actively
doing for a better future. Guess what I found right here? – Dresden.
– Dresden. Dresden, yes. Do you miss it?
– Yeah. – Our most recent trip to Germany
was exactly to Dresden. If you haven’t seen the video yet,
it was during Christmas. We visited beautiful Christmas markets. Check it out. There’s a biergarten here in Germany.
Guess where we’re having lunch? – When in Germany? Bier. – Cheers! Thank you very much
[in German] Someone was missing
his German sausages. – Fish. German Fish. – It is so cool because everyone is
speaking German here, all the waiters, you really feel like you’re in Germany. – Good?
– Mm. Very good [in German] They really made it efficient here, right?
Fast and… – Um, where are you? – They have them here for sale. As s plush. Aww. – That’s a good idea.
– Very cool. – Money, money, money, money. – So cute. – Hello [in Korean]
– Hello [in Korean] – How do you say hello in Korean? [She responds in Korean] – It’s going to ask a question. I give
an answer. One-word answer. Life. – They’re recording our voices here. The idea is to use our voices to
create some sort of song. And this is the result. Real-time AI music mixing everyone’s
words in different languages. Korea is super high tech,
but when we got into that room, I felt like in the Netflix show, you’re
in the room, don’t know what’s going on. Okay, it’s coming. It’s coming.
It’s coming. It’s coming. It disappeared. What is that? Oh! This is a Korean technology that
transforms CO2 into hydrogen. Hydrogen is a topic here at this show. A lot of companies are talking about it. I don’t know how could I cry
at a presentation… in a show like this, but Korea did an amazing job. Because they not only mentioned
what they’re doing, but they showed what they’re doing with
the technology of the future. And it’s amazing what they’re doing
with phones, you know, because Korea is famous for cell phones. What they’re planning, you know, holograms,
transferring data between phones… It’s amazing if all that comes
through in the future. – Why did you cry? – Because it was beautiful. – What was beautiful? – The video was so emotional. – The story. – It was a roller coaster of emotions,
very beautiful story. I’m still crying. Thank you all. Welcome to Saudi Arabia! This is your host… Welcome to the Saudi Arabia pavilion. – Thank you. – It continues thru there. – Wow, Saudi Arabia, you go from building
to building like this. This is so beautiful. – Marsh. Look at that.
– Wow, they have that in the desert. – It’s man made. – Still, look at what they’re
doing in the desert. – Pearls like Doha. Qatar. Saudi Arabia has a vision for 2030. It includes a ski resort.
– That is crazy, huh? – I want to see that. – Saudi Arabia is really
positioning the country as a place, you know,
thinking about the future, sustainability, inviting
tourism, women. I thought it was very, very interesting, especially as the next Expo
will be right there, 2030. Saudi Arabia, done!
It’s big. Saudi Arabia won the Gold Award in
Architecture and Landscape. Ah, baby, look at that. – It’s made of gold. – Wow. That’s a literal interpretation
of their theme as you’re invited to
chase the sun across the continent. – Hello
[Australian slang] – Reliving the beauties of Australia. – Spectacular. – We came here at the wrong time. This should have been
a place for breakfast. Right?
– Oh, yeah. – Yes, remember how good Australian
coffee and hot chocolates are? – Flat white, flat white. Where’s Australia’s little brother?
New Zealand. Where’s New Zealand? – Haven’t seen. – Oh, New Zealand. Where are you? – Aaahhhh!!! [laughing] Ah, one of my favorite countries.
Too bad the line is so big. Wow, this is Uzbekistan, how different. We tried to visit so many other countries,
but again, two days are not enough. Not every country has a
mega massive pavilion. You know, multiple countries
are also located under one roof, like here where we are right now much faster tour around the world. I found a country on the
other side of the world that also speaks Portuguese. and I know very little about it. This is Timor-Leste. – Is this better than Copacabana,
Rio de Janeiro? – Rio de Janeiro? – Beach of Rio de Janeiro. – A good place for tourists Here is Dili (the Capital).
Bali is here. Indonesia is here. This side is Australia.
– Okay. – So we are between Bali and Australia. – Okay. I’m curious to know what
the accent in East Timor is like. If it’s more similar to Brazil
or if it’s more similar to Portugal. Yes, we’re here just to show our wealth, our natural resources, agriculture, fishing, tourism… to show the world what East Timor has. And it seems like a very beautiful country, right? – Very beautiful, very beautiful.
– The beautiful beaches… – The material there, everything very beautiful.
– Yes, exactly. Exactly, exactly. I really liked it. Thank you so much for
your attention, your kindness… introducing the country to us. Thank you!
Nice meeting you too. Thank you. Likewise – Thanks.
– Thanks. Gordon, I have been to Ethiopia.
– Without me? – And you don’t even know.
– Without me? – Yeah!!! -Not for sale! – Nice to see Ukraine represented here. – There is probably metaphors and stories in that. You know what I am saying?
– Of course. They don’t even have
the name of the country there. Everybody else does.
This is what they have. And then, they give people scanning
machines like if you’re checking the price That’s a strong metaphor. – Then they are trying to
protect the rights of LGBTQ+ people They protect the lives of civilians. – And this is what you get
from a megaphone. A very symbolic stand. The exhibition was funded
by the Japanese government and Ukranian businesses. So that no state funds would be used. Ukraine’s message is actually a very strong In times of war, what are
the innovations they are doing for society to keep going. For example, how do you deliver mail,
how do kids get education, how do veterans get treatment? Thank you very much!
– Thank you. Thank you for your attention;
it means a lot to us. – May all this end! – Thank you very much. – One of the factors that contributed
to the success of the event It was the mascot,
Myaku-Myaku. Especially towards the end,
there was a surge in popularity And even though the Expo has ended, merch sales continue until March. How cute. [ Laughs ] Ah! Among the things you find at the store, expo-themed mochi. Thank you very much
[in Japanese] Thank you very much
[in Japanese] It looks like these are German crepes. Uh, but one is with maple and the
other one with cinnamon. Which one is this?
– Maple. – And you’re keeping that one? Yeah. [laughing] We gotta share here. – It’s good.
– Is it? -Yeah. Mm. Mm. Mm. And if the rain caught us by surprise, it was time to rush inside
another pavilion. We’re now in China. Ooh! This is so cool. Can we do 3-D? Wow! China used technology in a
whole different way to showcase what they have here. Some features I’ve never seen
in exhibitions before. Look at this. The earliest water and
conservation system ever discovered in the world. This one here in China, this is
the city, Liangzhu, China. – Five thousand years.
– Do you see this? This community built a dam, to preserve
water, 3,000 years ago. So that was before Rome. First, you see everything that
China is already doing in terms of sustainability
with the cities, and now you see the future. Look at what they’re doing
with electric cars. The vehicles can actually get
fuel from the road. There’s something on the surface
that recharges them. Incredible. You recharge simply by driving. Wow, in China, you go from ancient
to the future just like that. – What we hear in the news is
so far behind, huh? – Yeah. The first time that the world
sees these images of life 4,000 meters deep, this far underwater. Oh, pieces from the moon. Almost like US and China kind of
agreed beforehand, right? Both are showcasing pieces from the moon. China won the Gold Award in
Exhibition Design. Look at their facade, how cool. It represented bamboo slips arranged
like an unfolded traditional Chinese calligraphy scroll. The various countries and regions were
located inside the Grand Ring, but outside was not empty. She reacts to us. Look at that. Oh! There’s more than just countries
here at the expo. They also show some really cool progress
in science and technology. Things coming up in the future. Look at the future of train travel. – Pods. – You have these pods that go
directly in the train, so you don’t even have to walk. And here’s one of them. Wow, this would be really cool. This pod goes directly in the train. You don’t even need to walk out
or walk in or walk out. – The pod can go on a ship,
helicopter, plane, train, on a mobile, car.
– Wow! They’re promoting as “from home to
destination with no transfers”. This is amazing. – Forget Elon and Tesla. You’re not driving anymore. – The future of travel, this is the
future of wind power. This is the future of wind power. The wind not only produces energy,
but also produces hydrogen, which is a clean energy. Here, people simulating the wind. And look at the solution for people
with reduced mobility to go where a wheelchair can’t, or to bring anyone to places
where a car also can’t. And there are many other projects that
recognize your movements to control things. – So it’s like learning engineering,
building something. This company created an entire
heart from stem cells. Super tiny, it’s like a baby heart. Beating as fast as a baby heart. Wow, can you believe,
life created in a lab. This other one here is like a patch that
gets attached to your heart. IPS cells were developed
over many years with Japanese scientists
playing a central role The future of medical care, look at that. It flies through. This is actually a system for minimally
invasive remote surgeries performed by doctors somewhere
else in the world. – It automatically goes up and down. – Wouldn’t that wake you up? – I don’t know. This pavilion will now be reused and
moved to a different location, like a few others at the fair,
such as Luxembourg. This area might host Japan’s
first casino resort, scheduled to open in 2030. Interesting to think that 35 years ago,
this land didn’t even exist. Yumeshima is a man-made island in Osaka. If you’re now already excited about
the next World Expo, you don’t need to wait five more years. There will be a smaller,
specialized version in Serbia in 2027. The Expo isn’t just an event,
it’s a window into the future. Every nation shared its vision
of what’s next. Some ideas may shape our lifetime,
others will wait for the world to catch up. But here in Osaka, the future is
already becoming real. From the Expo’s innovations
to a local professor winning the 2025 Nobel Prize for breakthroughs
that could change medicine. The future? We’re already living it.
The Future was on display at the Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, and we were there. For six months, the world gathered on Yumeshima Island to imagine what life could look like in the decades ahead. From flying taxis and self-charging cars to entire hearts grown from stem cells, every pavilion shared a vision of what’s next — how we’ll live, connect, and dream.
In this video, we explore those ideas — walking through the world’s largest wooden structure, visiting award-winning pavilions, and asking the question: will we ever see this future in our lifetime?

► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world… stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also, to help people plan similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he’s actually camera-shy. That’s why he’s behind the camera most of the time 😉

Beautiful
Magnificent
👍🌈👍🙂🙋🧿 Thanks Renata
Hello everyone! In my last video, I mentioned I was working on a few projects… And they've been really keeping me busy this year 🙃. Now I'm hoping to finally get things back on track… And before you ask, no, I didn't forget the Jubilee video I promised. But as the World Expo has just closed in Japan, I thought it made sense to first share our reflections and lasting impressions on the topic, as the timing is perfect. It won't take long until the next video, so see you again soon ❤. And thank you so much for being here 💕🙏, it means a lot to me.
3 evig nem lattalak titeket…Ez az en computerem hibaja lenne?

Nice to see that a lot of Bamboo was used, the fastest growing, self reproducing tree in the world. Can be used for many things, paper, compostable containers, disposable products that would otherwise not be recyclable, also anti biotic so no nasties can live on it, self sanitizing cutting boards and kitchen counters. Once laminated into beams immensely strong for construction. Naturally water resistant.

Hello Renata,
I really like your videos and have never missed a single one, but you might want to correct the channel description: "New videos fresh from the road every Saturday or Sunday."
Helpful like always
When I am dead, no more Expos…
