we were on holiday in Japan, taking the 300-kilometre-per-hour bullet train from Tokyo down to Kyoto. We were disembarked to change trains about half way, and were supposed to catch the 1.13pm train onward. At 1.11pm a train pulled up at the platform we were on and so we jumped on. We ended up going 300 kilometres per hour in the wrong direction, and yes there had indeed been another train two minutes later – we were just used to jumping on the train that vaguely looked and sounded like it was the right one at the roundabout time. It’s all good, the same incredibly efficient rail system that we got lost on ended up getting us to Kyoto only 30 minutes later than we had expected.
In beautiful Melbourne.
