READING
THE WRONG BUS
A Japanese businessman had a big surprise last Sunday when he got the wrong bus to the
airport and missed his flight.
Zenko Kajiyama, 32, went to Waverley station to catch the bus to Edinburgh airport. He had a
meeting the next day in London and he wanted to catch the evening flight. When he saw a silver
bus marked Club Class he got on it. Unfortunately the bus was for people going to a birthday
party.
The people on the bus helped Mr Kajiyama with his bags and found him a seat. He thought he
was on the right bus until they stopped at a pub and everyone got off. They asked Mr Kajiyama
to join their party and so he followed them into the pub. When he looked at his watch he saw it
was too late and that he had missed his plane. At first he was very worried, but then he decided
to stay in the pub. He had a drink and danced to the music with the other members of the party.
In the end he went back to the house of one of his new friends and he slept on the sofa. The
next morning he took a taxi to the airport and flew to London, but he was too late for his
meeting.
