An 80s Time Capsule

Vancouver
5/27 Edited to

... Read moreVisiting Expo 86 was truly a unique experience that captured the essence of the 1980s in a vivid way. The oversized 3-D glasses weren’t just a fun accessory; they symbolized the cutting-edge technology and futuristic optimism of the era. Standing there at 19, immersed in the world expo’s vibrant atmosphere, gave me a firsthand glimpse into how society embraced innovation and global culture during a transformative decade. Expo 86 in Vancouver was more than just an event; it was a cultural milestone that brought together people from all over the world. The expo showcased advances in technology, entertainment, and environmental ideas that were ahead of their time. Many Gen Xers like myself still feel a deep nostalgia for that period, remembering the blend of excitement and curiosity that defined youth back then. Reflecting on this experience today, 40 years later, highlights how much has changed yet how those moments shaped perspectives on progress and community. If you love exploring historical events through personal stories, revisiting Expo 86’s legacy offers a fascinating way to connect with the past. From the architecture and exhibits to the simple joy of wearing those iconic 3-D glasses, the expo was a snapshot of the future as imagined in the 80s, making it a timeless treasure for locals and history enthusiasts alike.

My first time at a capsule hotel 🌸
This is the ninehours capsule hotel in Tokyo and it was a nice experience. When I checked in, I went straight to the lockers to put away my stuff ( which was a backpack and a carry on) the lockers are small so if you have a lot of luggage I wouldn't recommend taking all of them to the hotel.
