Visitors face long queues to get into national pavilions but those who make it into the Swiss one are rewarded with raclette and a glimpse of Heidi.

It is mid-September, but the heat still hangs heavy over Osaka. The temperature sits at 32°C, and the air is thick with humidity. Within minutes, sweat starts to drip. Still, the intense conditions haven't stopped crowds of Japanese visitors flocking to the Expo.
