I went to the 1958 Brussels World's Fair.

They had a display with a copy of the Sputnik in the USSR Pavillion.  They
also had a receiver that would pick up the beeps.

In the American Pavillion, you could eat a real hamburger, (hard to get then
in Europe).

I also saw my first Color TV broadcast in the NBC Studio; actually, I think
it was closed circuit.  It was nice to be in air conditioning.
