a view from the Osaka wheel

We took a ride on Japan's tallest ferris wheel at the Expo '70 Commemorative Park near Osaka, built on the site of the 1970 World Exposition. It was a beautiful fall day, on the quiet side, just perfect for visiting the nearby aquarium/zoo museum and checking out the "funny" bikes. We had no idea that, the following morning, the local papers would be all abuzz because Osaka had just won the competition to host the World Expo again, in 2025.
