The Expo trail
Well,, Expo is all they say it
is. . It's',fantastic and • fabulous,
exhausting and expensive. It's
'1 got', everything, from Saturday.
night in -Hayfork Centre .to a
round -the -world cruise' in your
• private yacht.,
It's true that'the line-ups are
long at some of- the , pavilions,
but you .can, easily get around.
this Some. `people put on 'a
walking east and, are ushered
to the head •. of -the line. Others
use. a wheel -chair. Or you can
buy a sailor suit. Visiting sail-
ors march _straight : to the head
of , the line, wink at the ;girl
and walk in. ;
One chap I . know spent two . .
hours in.a line-up withno
strain it all. He was organized.
He set up his :folding stool, 'sat
down, put on dark glasses to
make him 'think he was : in a.
bar,; and openedthe. quart -size,
thermos of • ic-cold martinis
which he had prudently
brought ' along.. All • about : him
people were cursing, fainting.
and wishingthey,were-home in
bed:He, killed the quart and
never did make the pavilion,
but he made a' lot of life-long
friends when lie shared his po-
tion, -rand still claims it, was the
best party he'was. ever at,
•
Another . middle aged .' friend,
whole' only. normal exercise is
walking out. to :the car, went to:
Expo with his son; fifteen:. The
boy is a • fiend. for organization
and had a. series .of plans and
time -charts .• worked:. out. They
covered, 57 ' ,pavilions in two
days. Thoroughly., Three `weeks
later,- the, old man is still limp-
ing, clutching • his; chest in the
region of his heart, ' and you
can, make him jump:; two feet
straight up merely' by` uttering
the word "pavilion." •
One way, of getting . around
smartly, saving time, and'. giv-
'ing your dogs- a ;rest: is' to hire
a pedi-cab.. This is a rickshaw
type •vehicle propelled by a
youth on a bicycle. Holds . two. •
And; ..it's only 25 cents • a. Min-
ute. 'Come, now, . don't be so•
' cheap. Normally, it costs you

you into tipping him for not

One thing you, can say. about
Expo is that•''nowhere in the
° world can "you get'so touch for
so 'little, And so little, for so
much, The first applies to all
•the wonderful free entertain-
ment, the sights and sounds.
The; second applies• to ' liquid
refreshment.. ,
Many people feel it's a. great
pity', that • these ' magnificent
buildings ,should, simply be de
• molished when :the fair ends:,'
Some think it would make a
fine university, ;Others'believe
it could become a great inter-
national centre 'for the
exchange of. ideas and, cultures.
• Something' like the United'' Na
•tions; without. the scab -picking
and back -stabbing.
Montreal, which had the im-
agination and ` guts to create
the thing, will, probably sal-
vage something, Torontowould
solve the • problem with; dis
patch The whole `thing would'
be knocked down smartly • to
make a.super parking; lot:
Whatever happens, I hope
- they don't take. it. away until,.
we get there. What's that? =You•
thought We'd." been?' Oh,.. no:
We're • just getting packed at
the'moment.
-You ' don't have to go ' to
Expo to write a column about
it. I 'could 'write a book.. The
country`is full, of Expo experts
who are• only too ready to fill
you' in. ,on •'everything'abont. it
after spending., two bewildered
days •'there, .We've been hearing
about Expo from friends, • rela-
Lives, . neighbours; and casual. '
acquaintances . until. we:. •have
Czech blown 'glass:. coming out '.
our ears.
It's rather amusing to • have ..•
people who have never . seen,
anything,. bigger 'than the
county: fair dismissing the` Rus=
Sian' pavilion as "brittle" : •or
"ponderous,'." or praising the
British pavilion as ''subtle or
"wonderfully ' .understated:'
They've picked' up these, •ex= . `,
pression ;from; the': critics and
are going touse them even if
it makesyou throw up.
Everything- we've. heard
about it has 'been :Contradicto-
ry, , from the availability of lav-
atories to the priceof meals.
However, that's life,: that's peo-
• pie, and that's probably Expo
Today we leave. We're all,
set. My wife hasn't ' 'slept for
two nights and has a blister on
her.: heel. Kim has '.a fallen
arch. I have :a vicious corn on
the ball of ••my foot. But never
mind that. It's the spirit that
counts. And ours are very' low.
