We have experienced Paris through the words of Hemingway and Balzac, the colors of Chagall and Delaunay, the wild adventures of Henry Miller, the recipes of Julia Child, the stars of Michelin, and the curated lists of Fodor's, Frommer's, and Lonely Planet. Yet, few have explored Paris through the unique perspective of the “Exposition Universelle”—the World's Fair, or World Expo.Paris is a living archive of seven Universal Expositions held between 1855 and 1937. These grand events left an indelible mark on the city, creating an urban diary of monumental achievements: the Eiffel Tower, of course, but also the Musée d'Orsay, the Grand Palais, and the Petit Palais.“Nobody Sits Like the French” uncovers these stories and many more. Blending travel guide and history, the book reveals a Paris invisible to most—a city where every glass of Burgundy, every sip from Baccarat crystal, every Monet or Gauguin admired, and even the modern marvel of a working sewer system, can be traced back to the legacy of a World Expo. https://www.charlespappas.world/buy-the-world-expo-bookhttp://www.yourlotandparcel.org
Josh and Melissa are back from the Inside Self-Storage World Expo and sharing their biggest takeaways from one of the industry's largest events. AI was everywhere, with vendors continuing to integrate it into their platforms. At the same time, we are seeing the rise of agentic AI in other industries, which raises interesting questions about where self storage is headed next. But even with all the innovation, one theme stood out clearly. The basics still matter. We reflect on our Management Mastery session and the encouraging number of owners who are focused on truly understanding and improving how they run their businesses. Strong operations, clear processes, and intentional leadership are still the foundation of success. We also talk through the tradeshow floor, where we saw more niche vendors than ever before. The number of options available to help operators improve every part of their business continues to grow. To wrap it up, we share the shows we are looking forward to for the rest of the year and why getting in the room still matters. If you're planning your year, here are a few events we recommend: Register for the NeSSA Expo in Connecticut using code Lighthouse10 - Register Here Register for The Big Ideas in Storage Conference in Texas - Register Here Register for MSM's The Show using code LSS2026 - Register Here Hosts: Josh Huff & Melissa Huff Produced by Lighthouse Storage Solutions

In this episode, host Jason Pritchard sits down with Tomohiro Fukuzawa, Founder and CEO of SkyDrive, to reflect on a landmark year for the Japanese eVTOL OEM and what's next in 2026. Tomohiro shares how 2025 marked a breakthrough year for SkyDrive, with hundreds of successful flight tests, large-scale public demo flights and more than 400 pre-orders for its SD-05 aircraft. A major highlight last year was showcasing the aircraft at the World Expo in Osaka, where more than one million visitors saw the aircraft up close, many for the first time. The conversation dives into the technology behind SkyDrive's compact, 12-rotor multicopter design, purpose-built for rooftop operations and short urban hops, as well as its progress toward simultaneous certification with Japan's JCAB and the Federal Aviation Administration. Tomohiro also discusses strategic partnerships, including manufacturing collaboration with Suzuki and operational partnerships across Japan, Southeast Asia, India, and the U.S. From alleviating traffic congestion in cities like Jakarta to transporting organs for urgent medical procedures, the episode explores compelling real-world use cases that highlight the aircraft's potential impact. Looking ahead, 2026 will focus on certification milestones, global market expansion, and further public demonstration flights to accelerate adoption.

If you've ever ridden an elevator, zipped a jacket, watched IMAX, or tapped a touchscreen, you've experienced the legacy of a World's Fair—whether you knew it or not. In this episode of Matters of Experience, hosts Abby and Brenda Cowan welcome Charles Pappas, one of the world's leading authorities on World Expos, to uncover how these massive, temporary gatherings quietly shaped everyday life.From the Crystal Palace of 1851 London to Dubai, Osaka, and beyond, Charles traces the evolution of World's Fairs through what he calls three eras: products, progress, and panic. Along the way, he reveals how expos introduced groundbreaking technologies, redefined optimism during global crises, and now confront urgent environmental challenges. The conversation explores why these events function as powerful engines of cultural exchange, national identity, and human connection—something no digital platform can fully replace.With vivid stories about iconic monuments like the Eiffel Tower, immersive pavilion design, and moments of pure serendipity, this episode is a love letter to shared, in-person experience—and a compelling argument for why the World Expo still matters today.
From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

In this episode, Ashurst Head of First Nations Strategy Trent Wallace is joined by colleagues Natsuko Ogawa and Lea Constantine to reflect on their recent visit to Japan. As well as several productive meetings with clients in Tokyo, the trio also attended World Expo 2025 in Osaka where Trent spoke about engagement with First Nations people in Australia. Natsuko reflects on her work over the past three decades, which has helped strengthen relationships between Ashurst’s Japanese clients and Australian businesses in the mining, resources, real estate and energy sectors. Lea explains why businesses seeking to invest in Australia are increasingly focusing on First Nations engagement. And Trent recalls the respectful, polite – and very frank – conversations he enjoyed with clients in Japan. Natsuko describes the “revelation” that there are so many “clear links between First Nations and Japanese culture” and explains how progressive Japanese businesses are seeking more opportunities to connect with and employ First Nations people in Australia. Lea reflects, “One thing that dawned on me in Japan was that Australia is well known for safety, security and stability. And Japan really values those things as well.” While Trent adds: “It was a joy to recognise our similarities and find synergies.” Packed with optimism, inspiration and insight, this episode provides plenty of food for thought for business leaders in Australia and Japan alike.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Incredible art, great camaraderie, a beautiful and historic locale—and some sketchy organization, long lines with overflow crowds, and none of the artist's names on any of those incredible pieces! In this episode, Jim (who could not attend) and Barry (who could and did) discuss the good and the bad about the twelfth World Model Expo, which took place from July 4 to 6 in Versailles, batting it all around with special guests Joe Berton, Pat Vess, Joan Biediger, and U.K. correspondent Chris Meddings of the Model Philosopher podcast.

This year, Catalonia and Japan are strengthening their ties with a yearlong celebration, including Catalan Week in Japan, taking place from May 27 to June 1 at the Universal Expo in Osaka. This week on Filling the Sink we explore the relationship between both territories and visit the Expo to find out how Catalonia is promoting its culture. Head of Catalan News Gerard Escaich Folch joins host Beth Cohen to explore the concept of the Universal Exposition and its impact on the host cities, highlighting the monuments in Barcelona which are relics of the 1888 and 1929 Expos. We look back over the historical relationship between Catalonia and Japan, which dates back to the 16th century with a visit from Japanese Christian travelers Tensho Ken-oh Shisetsu dan to the Montserrat monastery. Our ACN correspondents in Osaka bring us all the details of the Expo activities, from pa amb tomàquet workshops to wine tasting, virtual reality tourist visits, videos on the history of Barça, a lesson on how to paint like Miró, and interactive architecture exhibits. We hear from Michelin-star chefs Carme Ruscadella and Joan Roca, who are ambassadors to the event, and catch up with Yoshiaki Matsumoto, leader of a Catalan rumba group in Japan. We also hear from some Japanese citizens celebrating Catalan culture in Osaka. This week, our Catalan phrase is “Fer-ne cinc cèntims - “To make five cents of it,” which means to briefly resume something, keeping it short and sweet.
The Krewe gets an exclusive inside look at Expo 2025 Osaka with Sachiko Yoshimura, the Director General of Public Relations & Promotion!

Studio GSM, internationally renowned for its expertise in experience design, teamed up with artist Justine Emard, whose work is exhibited around the world. Their respective approaches to immersive creation met the objectives of COFREX (Compagnie Française des Expositions), in charge of organizing the French Pavilion at the World Expo: to create a sensory experience to promote French creation and excellence in Japan during this major event.Together, GSM and Justine Emard co-created the overall narrative of the exhibition and the paintings that make it up, with the contribution of COFREX and the Pavilion's partners. They established the artistic and scenographic principles of the experience around the common thread of pulsation. GSM is also responsible for the Pavillon's visual identity, including the logo, signage, artistic direction of the exhibition, and the attire of the hosts and hostesses.“This experience is the result of an ambitious co-creation process with all the project partners. This is surely the greatest challenge that GSM has taken up over the past two years: to bring together all the players around the table and imagine together this Pavilion in the image of France.” - Fabien Lasserre, Project Manager, GSM Project to listen to in this new Com d'Archi.Image teaser © Justine EmardSound engineering : Ali Zogheib___If you like the podcast do not hesitate:. to subscribe so you don't miss the next episodes,. to leave us stars and a comment :-),. to follow us on Instagram @comdarchipodcast to find beautiful images, always chosen with care, so as to enrich your view on the subject.Nice week to all of you !
