凄い賑わいですね。

他地方から大阪に移り住んだ近所の人の話では、万博期間中は故郷­から

親戚の人達が万博を見るために入れ替わりで泊まりに来て、半年間­常に

家に親戚の人が泊まってる状態だったとのことです。

Also, amazing the way the crowds parted for the ambulance. That would never happen here.

I was there also and remember those really long lines. I managed to sneak into a side door of the U.S. pavilion with the help of one of the exhibit's employees. As larrylynn123 said, its seems like yesterday.

Old is gold. I live near the park and I love it so much. It's my heaven! The video was recorded 4 years before I was born but I feel I was there in the crowds. Nowadays, it's not as crowded as then! Wow! Thank you.

This is stunning! Must have been shot on 16mm. It's so clear I almost feel like I'm there! Thank you for uploading this peek at what was probably the last truly grand World Expo.
