12-Hour Extreme Adventure at Osaka Expo

Embarking on a whirlwind journey at the Osaka Expo, from 9 AM to 9 PM, I managed to visit 7 pavilions without any reservations, completely draining my energy bar 💥 The adventure began at the Heart Pavilion near the West Gate, where a 70-minute wait was totally worth it! The LED immersive experience was packed with cutting-edge technology, and the Astro Boy IP collaboration made it a paradise for anime fans 🎬 Even the afternoon downpour couldn't dampen the enthusiasm at the China Pavilion. A 105-minute wait surrounded by fellow compatriots was a must to show support 🇨🇳. The Japan Pavilion was even more exhausting, with at least a 120-minute wait! But the Doraemon and Hello Kitty IP collaboration was irresistible, and the solid educational content made me want to shout, "One more round!" 📚 The India, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Portugal pavilions each had their unique highlights. Unfortunately, I missed the France and Austria pavilions, and the super popular Future of Life Pavilion was reservation-only, leaving me out of luck. Biggest takeaway from the 12-hour marathon: don't attempt this without stamina! But seeing the incredible designs from various countries made the exhaustion totally worth it. For those planning to visit the Expo, remember to reserve spots at popular pavilions and stock up on energy boosters 💪
