Today, I volunteered mainly as a guide in the East Area near the East Gate. This was my sixth day of volunteering in the venue, and my last day.

I have accumulated a fair amount of information and knowledge, and I am now able to respond to customer inquiries with smooth manner. The members working in the same group change every day, and some people are volunteering for the first day, while others have worked in other areas. I also try to share the information I have gathered with volunteers in the same team as much as possible, and also convbey to the staff who support the volunteer activities. In this way, I hope that the quality of volunteer activities will gradually improve and that the guests who visit will be able to spend their time comfortably.

Netherlands Pavilion

Water is the source of life, but the Netherlands, which has fought against such water and built its land under the sea level has exhibited ideas for coexisting with water and creating a sustainable world. We can tour the museum with a color-changing sphere given to us at the entrance.

Singapore Pavilion

Singapore, a small city with a high population density, is exhibiting a view of how it can coexist with the world and pave the way for the future.

Cradle of life

In front of the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion, the pavilion of the organizers of the exhibition, “Cradle of life” displays aquaponics, a system in which plants and fish coexist through material circulation, in a large sphere. This aquaponics technology is the cutting edge technology, and in November 2024, I introduced agricultural engineer team from Brunei to a company in Kanagawa using this technology. It is a little disappointing that the exhibition is outdoors and the information board is not very noticeable.

China Pavilion

This pavilion displays moon sand, which China, which has a long history with Japan, has collected using the latest technology. Although it is a large exhibition hall, the Sinocentrism can be felt in every corner of the exhibition, and the attitude towards Japan, the host country, seems a little questionable, so I personally did not like the exhibition very much.
