I have been to the following countries: Canada, USA, Dominican, Hong
Kong (I refuse to accept it is part of China lol), Japan, France
I like SAGA because of the ninja design. ... I'M KIDDING. ok I like
SAGA because people these days are so oblivious to the world around
them and have this stupid mind set that the world only revolves around
them. I think these people need to open their eyes and realize how
priviledged they are and how they can actually help defeat poverty!
(dare to dream...) anyways...1 person can't make a difference, but a
group of people definitely can.
