"Food Olympics"

Did anyone go to the "Osaka Food Exhibition," otherwise known as the "Food Olympics" over Golden Week Vacation?

I didn't have the opportunity to go, some of my friends who went told me mixed reviews:
"It was my first time to go to the event, and I had a good time. I could try over 30 different countries' food."
"It was fun...."The food was great, but it was a little crowded."
"I couldn't stand waiting in the long lines...and it was hot!"

It is only held once every four years, that is why it is called the "Food Olympics."
Before Golden week I found this article about the swine (pig) flu and the Exhibition.
