I am Canadian and visited expo 2000 with great pleasure, I wish I had been there longer. I do not understand why the german people did not visit expo an greater number, we had expo 67 here in Montréal and I grew up hearing about how wonderfull it was(55 million visitors. Best regards Pierre Caron</p> Heelo dear friend It has aready been 3 years but still I often think of expo 2000 and llok at all the pictures I took.
