During my one monyth stay from 1st through to the 31st July, we visited only diaspora Nigerians, so I did not meet Americans from per se.

However, Hokkaido Railway Company did not shut down its services for the sake of the young secondary school student; hence, facilitating Harada to complete her high school education. The train that was assigned to pick Harada picked her up twice a day, for three years, until she completed all of her high school studies. The railway company received unparalleled acclaim for their selfles…
