Hostess at Expo ‘70

continued from page 27

hostesses were allowed to stay on at the apartment for two weeks to recover from a hectic six months.

I then went on a three month world tour and am now back in New Zealand working as an announcer for the N.Z.B.C.

Looking back now, I still enjoy some of the things that happened to me. I became very fond of one of the Japanese hostesses, and invited her to stay in our apartment before I left Japan. We had no extra beds, so had a lot of fun dividing my divan into mattress and base. After a friendly argument, my friend slept on the mattress on the floor. Much later, when round the other side of the world, a friend said to me, “Didn't you realise who she was? Didn't her name give you a clue?” I was quite mystified, and was astonished to find that my Japanese friend was the daughter of a well known millionaire! So I virtually had a millionaire sleeping on my bedroom floor.

My experiences of 1970, Expo and my world tour, sometimes seem like a dream. Only when I look at my photo albums and answer my overseas correspondence do I realise that it all did happen.
