I'd probably get on the anti-war bus by mistake and have to listen to the endless drivel they spew. This guy gets on the party bus.

A Japanese businessman has missed his flight from Edinbuirgh after getting on an all-night party bus instead of an airport shuttle.

Zenko Kajiyama, 32, from Tokyo, had been intending to catch an evening flight from Edinburgh to London Heathrow for a meeting the next day.

Mr Kajiyama was at Waverley station trying to find the airport bus stop when he saw people boarding a silver coach marked Club Class. The 45-seater bus was actually booked for a mobile birthday party.

He misunderstood the revellers when he asked them if they were going to the airport and ended up touring pubs and clubs. "I have very much difficulty understanding how people speak in Edinburgh. I like the Scottish people very much, but their voices - it is difficult and strange to my ears.

Guess he missed that meeting. But if life serves you a bowl of rice, make sake.

"Then I looked at my clock on my hand, too late. I missed my aeroplane. At first I was very angry. I felt stupid. But I was enjoying the bus - I have never been on such a thing before. So I stayed for the whole night because it was funny. And the girls were very pretty too.

"I was not lucky with them, I am sad to say. But I did do lots of dancing to the music - great. They should have karaoke too on the bus, then it would be perfect. One person even let me stay on his couch for the night."

Too bad you didn't get any Kajiyama-san but I'm glad you had a good time.
