Japan: Angolan Staff Bring Joyful Farewell on One of Osaka Expo’s Last Trains

As the Osaka Expo came to a close, the final day left a mix of excitement and bittersweet emotions among the staff. On one of the last Osaka Metro trains departing the site, a group of staff from Angola brought the carriage to life, singing and dancing together. Their joyful celebration reflected both the exhilaration of the Expo’s successful conclusion and the tinge of sadness that comes with saying goodbye. Amid laughter, music, and shared camaraderie, the atmosphere became infectious, spreading throughout the train as everyone joined in the spontaneous farewell. In that moment, it seemed that the unspoken motto was clear: “Let’s all part with a smile.”
