UAE Pavilion at Expo 2025 welcomes a million visitors in less than two months
The UAE Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai welcomed its one millionth visitor today, marking a major milestone since the Expo began on April 13. The achievement comes in less than two months since the Expo opened, highlighting the Pavilion's powerful storytelling and global appeal. The one millionth visitor, a Japanese construction industry professional from Kobe, was greeted by Shihab AlFaheem, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the UAE to Japan and Commissioner General of the UAE Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka. A special commemorative certificate was presented to the visitor to celebrate the moment and acknowledge the significance of the milestone. "Reaching one million visitors today fills us with immense pride and reaffirms the Pavilion's role as a vibrant platform for fostering cross-cultural dialogue and innovation," said Shihab. "Each visitor who walks through our doors becomes part of the story we are telling. It is a story that reflects the UAE's values, our people and our vision for the future," he added. Multi-sensory journey through UAE's story Since opening, the UAE Pavilion has welcomed a steady stream of visitors drawn to its immersive storytelling and striking design. Built around the theme 'Earth to Ether', the Pavilion offers a multi-sensory journey through the UAE's story, highlighting the people and innovations shaping its future, drawing on heritage to accelerate collective progress for life on Earth and beyond. Taking design inspiration from the cherished date palm tree, the pavilion reimagines 'areesh', traditional vernacular architecture of the UAE. Fusing agricultural date palm waste with Japanese woodworking expertise, the pavilion bonds the two cultures in the spirit of collaboration. Emirati culinary experience Visitors can experience an authentic Emirati culinary experience at the pavilion's restaurant, peruse a curated selection of products by UAE-based creatives at the shop, and enjoy a dynamic range of programs activated in the workshop space. Located in the Empowering Lives zone, near the Japanese Pavilion and Shining Hat exhibition hall, the UAE Pavilion welcomes guests daily between 9am and 9pm until October 13, 2025, when the Expo concludes. The UAE Expo Office serves as a national platform to convene people, ideas, and innovations in service of global progress. Incubated by the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation and operating under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Office leads the UAE's strategic participation at international expositions. About Expo 2025 Osaka Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai is being held from April 13 to October 13, 2025, under the theme 'Designing Future Society for Our Lives'.

The Secret Life Of Your Coffee: Understanding What's Really In Your Cup
Subscribe to our FREE Ever wonder why that RM15 cup of Starbucks costs what it does? As Malaysian coffee culture evolves beyond our beloved kopi and teh tarik, here's an eye-opening journey into what really goes into crafting your favourite brew. Picture this: While we're rushing to grab our morning coffee in KLCC or Bangsar, somewhere in a distant farm, a coffee tree has been quietly growing for three years to give you that perfect cup. Talk about playing the long game! It's like raising a child: These trees need nurturing from day one and will keep giving back for 20-25 years. From Seed to Sip: A Coffee Bean's Coming of Age Story The process is mind-blowing. That single coffee bean in your cup started as a tiny seed, taking six weeks to peek out of the soil. Farmers call this the 'soldier stage'—imagine a tiny green recruit standing at attention. Two months later, it enters its 'butterfly stage,' spreading its first leaves like wings. Only after this teenage phase can it be moved to the main farm. But here's where it gets interesting for us Malaysian coffee lovers: While we're debating whether to get hot or iced lattes, Starbucks' R&D team plays matchmaker with coffee plants. They're creating new hybrid varieties that can handle our increasingly unpredictable weather (hello, climate change!) and produce beans faster than your favourite drama series can drop new episodes. Fast Track to Your Fix: How Science is Brewing the Future These science-backed hybrids are like the Tesla of coffee plants – more efficient, more resistant, and ready to produce in just 18-24 months instead of the usual three years. For farmers, that's like getting your ROI faster than a profitable stock market! The processing part reads like a spa treatment for beans. In Sumatra, Indonesia, our coffee-producing neighbour, they use a unique 'wet-hulled' method that gives Malaysian coffee lovers that distinct, bold, earthy flavour we've grown to love in our Starbucks cups. So the next time you're sipping your expensive coffee at Pavilion or Mid Valley, remember: you're not just paying for beans in hot water. You're tasting years of patience, science, and craftsmanship. As we say in Malaysia, 'Tak kenal, tak cinta' (To know is to love) – and now you know why that cup of coffee is truly special. Now, who's up for a coffee? Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .
