Taking a bus

A few days ago, I watched a video on YouTube. It was a video about taking a bus in Japan.

He indicated several key things about taking a bus in Japan and of course, there’s something that a polite passenger wouldn’t do on the bus.

While watching the video, I recalled some good memories of taking a bus on a trip. In particular, I used to take a bus with some Japanese friends that I met in a hostel in Roma.

It was the second day of my very first trip in Italy. After getting some breakfast at the hostel, I decided to go to some tourist attractions. Well, firstly, I would like to go to the colosseum. So, I asked a hostel staffer how to get there. She gave me a map and told me how to get there. And, I kept asking about getting a ticket. She told me that I could buy a one-day ticket at the hostel.

It was my first trip to Italy and I didn’t do much homework. So, I thought that it would be good to buy a 1-day ticket in the hostel. I bought the ticket and went to the bus stop.

I didn’t wait too long and got on the bus. When I was on the bus, I saw some friends that I saw at the hostel. They were also taking the bus. We were on the bus and quickly chatted a little bit.

I told them that I was planning to go to the colosseum. Well, I don’t remember where they were going. However, a key thing which I will never forget. I was ready to get off the bus and they saw my 1-day ticket. They smiled and said, “You don’t have to pay.” That’s something interesting. But, I’m not going to tell the rest of the story that they told me.
