From the somewhat underwhelming sign that adorns the entrance to the French Pavilion, one might not have very high expectations for what the interior might hold. But, with typical French artistic flair, this is one of the more beautiful country pavilions at the Expo.

There are three halls, which I’ve [...] Related posts:

I was lucky enough to be present for this performance of the Central African Republic. I love African music–it’s so energetic and exciting, in my opinion. So, these folks were a real treat–exciting rhythms and a bit [...] Related posts:

I was going to give a grade to each pavilion, but, me being a teacher, that seems too pedantic. I’ll [...] Related posts:
