Nintendo surprised fans on June 18 by announcing a new chapter in its 40-year-old Zelda saga, one of the Japanese video game giant’s biggest cash-cows.
OSAKA : From sweeping vistas of lush, island greenery replete with tropical birds, fish and alligators in pits to a sleek, dreamlike vision of the future, Singapore ’s World Expo journey has come full circle, from its first foray in Osaka , Japan, in 1970, and back there again in 2025.
Singapore’s pavilion, a vibrant red hue in the shape of an orb aptly named the Dream Sphere, bears the tag line, Where Dreams Take Shape. It sits on a 900 sq m plot of land, with a diameter of 18.5m, and stands 17m tall – or about seven storeys – at its highest. “Hosts and participants alike face many challenges, including to create an excellent experience for visitors and to ensure the World Expo leaves a lasting and positive impact on the world,” he added.Osaka also hosted the jamboree in 1970, which marked the first time the World Expo was held in Asia. That was also Singapore’s first time participating, with its pavilion showcasing a tropical garden paradise.
“We hope the Singapore Pavilion can stretch imaginations and give us a glimpse of what Singapore and Japan can do together in the future.” On Jan 10, Singapore became the first country to break ground and start building its pavilion, a $36 million project that aims to astonish both in its scale and unorthodox spherical design.
