In 2008, they held a similar exhibition in my city, and your post reminded me a lot of everything I experienced and lived there. You were better prepared with chairs for waiting, hehe. I love the central theme; it's a unique opportunity to travel the world in a small space, learning about other cultures and ways of life.
Of all the pavilions you show us, my favourite is the Philippines, it's very colourful and welcoming. I can't believe that polvorón is a typical sweet in your country, what a discovery! In Spain, we eat them on Christmas, I suppose it's a remnant of the time when the Spanish were there.
The night view adds a magical touch to the experience. Although I can see that the queues made everything more difficult and tedious, it's well worth it. Thank you for bringing us closer to this great event.

2008?! Wow that's really a long time ago!
Actually my companions received an advice from their neighbor to bring chairs because there will be a lot of waiting and waiting while standing is so tiring. So we also borrowed chairs from neighbors. It was really a good move because if I got tired, I would directly sit. 😅
Polvoron is a sweet delicacy in the Philippines! I don't know how much it differs from Spain but would love to try that version too! I bet it's also sweet!
It’s a long time ago, yes… I’m feeling old now. 🤣
Good neighbours, not only did they give you advice, but also the chairs!
I have researched a little and the polvorón of the Philippines and the one of Spain is the same. 🥰

I was also surprised the neighbors lent us their chairs! They're really kind!
I checked the ingredients of polvoron and it seems to be the same. Maybe you're right, it's a remnant of when Spain conquered the Philippines and left us with this snack. Aaaaah, all this talk about polvoron and now I'm craving for it 😅
