No, the answer is not correct Peter.

I never know where the fuck you are. Do my house 4624 College View Avenue. Then maybe, just maybe I will get it.

David is right, Lisbon at Gare do Orient.

daan said...

Yes! Lisbon is correct.
The area where Expo98 was held 11 years back. I worked there that summer and have good memories about the time and the area!

bravo David!

David said...

Well... Since I live in Lisbon I guess it was a little bit like cheating no?

daan said...

I noticed that. You were just lucky:)

But how is that area nowadays? I know Madonna performed there in 2004, but what else is going on at the Expo98 area?

The main gold was not achieved. They tried to put the city and the river togheter but there are no boats and the marina is deing.

There are mainly upper-class apartments and big companies offices.

But it is a nice place to visit, there is Pavilhão Atlânitco (atlantic pavilion), were Madonna performed in 04, witch has big concerts and shows. The largest aquarium in Europe (Aquário Vasco da Gama), a nice Shopping (also cald Vasco da Gama), the Lisbon Casino and a convention and business exhibition bureau.

You may see more info at www.portaldasnacoes.pt/ and www.parqueexpo.pt

Thanks for the information David! Pity that it didn't really worked out. I bought a beautiful book about that are in 1998, about the architecture and the plans. too bad it didn't work out the way they wanted.
