Between classes I had a fun and innocent time playing frisbee with Angela, Trey and Neal in the Imperial Garden near Doshisha.How was I to know that after Joint Seminar, I would happily say goodbye to Trey and Neal at the Kyoto subway station…..

AND FUCKING BOARD THE WRONG BUS HOME.

Usually I take Bus 16 at Kyoto Station back to Minami Ku which is where I live.

The bus stop is this big pillar.

I was standing somewhat behind the bus stop. I saw Bus 16 coming in the distance. I checked that it really said Bus 16 and Minami ku on its dashboard.

So when a bus pulled up at the stop I complacently boarded it, not knowing it is actually Bus 81 which overtook Bus 16 at the last minute.

So cheat people wan!

I was wondering why so many people boarded the bus this time, and a lot of them were students and office workers.

Usually my bus consists of like 5 people and everybody is over 70 years old.

I thought it was cos it was 5+ pm that time that’s why so busy!

I only realized 20 minutes into the ride when I noticed the places and names didn’t look familiar.

But I still bluffed myself into thinking that maybe because it is 5pm therefore the bus makes more stops to accomodate more people.

Then the bus was suddenly empty except for me and 2 other people. Maybe they were lost too.

And the bus stopped at some bus station – those places where they keep buses at night.

!!!!

And I was stranded at a place where there were only bus stations, and mechanics.

I thought I reached Osaka already.

I called Kanae (host sister) and meekly told her I had gotten lost. But I couldn’t even tell her where I was.

I found a restaurant and asked the waitress where this was.

She probably thought I had amnesia and even forgot how to speak properly cos my Japanese sucks.

Then I made her talk to Kanae and tell her where I was. And the waitress damn fucking nice! Probably I looked fucking sad and pathetic so she made me sit down, gave me a glass of water and called a cab for me. T____________T

Then the cab came and I had to call Kanae again and let her tell him where I live T___________T

And it turned out I was only 10 minutes away from home. Wtf. How embarrassing.

I got home later than usual but safe. All for 1620 yen wtf.

Okay, review test tomorrow, babai.
