I'm just back from the Milano Expo and while it was an enjoyable enough day, I didn't come away really seeing the point in it all.
It seemed more like a forum for insecure countries to grandstand and for secure countries to either do very little or not attend at all.
Yes, my partner and I were there in May and that really sums it up very well. However, I can see the advantage to a city in having large events like World's Fairs or Olympics as it is a way of getting infrastructure built and an event that attracts visitors for 6 months is certainly better than one that does so for 2 weeks and forces a City to build athletic facilities that are seldom used afterwards.
