Thanks again for a wonderful class. I loved experimenting with our field trips and blog as a way to experience the fairs and to share information. And now, happy opening of the Milan Expo. Like most of the VictorIan-era fairs, it opens during a time of financial crises and corruption. Nice to see the World’s Fair traditions are being upheld! According to the New York Times,
“But the event has already faced a corruption investigation that saw several top officials in the organising body arrested, cost overruns, and construction hold-ups that will mean large parts of the 110-hectare site will not be ready for opening day.”

Thank you as well for a great class! I had a lot of fun and really learned the extreme importance and significance of something that I really knew nothing about.
