I spent a week at EXPO '67. Mostly in the Barbadian pavilion, soaking up the excellent rum.

I was serving in Germany with 4 CMBG during our centennial. The Germans laughed at us saying that 100 years was "modern history" and that as a country, we had "keine kulture".

I said - "That's true, but our homes have central heating, flush toilets and we didn't kill 6 million people in WWII."

That usually terminated the conversation, other times getting a little testy .....

I was in First Horse at the time. Caught a flip back to Canada for Expo.
