The Golden Egg

Have you ever accidentally gotten on a bus that was going out of service?

What do you expect would happen next? The driver would probably open the door and tell you to get off, and they wouldn't start driving until the bus was empty.

But that's not what happened to two tourists in Kyoto.

When they accidentally got on a bus that was going out of service in early June, the driver just closed the doors and drove away with them still on board.

And yes, he knew they were there.

But he was afraid to talk to them because they were foreigners, and he didn't know how to communicate with them.

As The Asahi Shimbun reported, the tourists — a man and a woman — got on the bus through the back door after all the other passengers exited at Kyoto station.

When they realized what had happened, the tourists asked the driver to stop, but he didn't understand them and just kept driving.

He later said he thought it would be best to deal with them at the bus terminal office.

When the driver wouldn't stop, the tourists called the police. An officer spoke to the driver over the phone, and the driver finally stopped.

They had been driving for around 20 minutes, traveling a distance of about 4 kilometers.

The West Japan JR Bus Company said: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Our employee training was insufficient, and our employee did not handle the situation correctly. We will thoroughly train our employees in the future."

Kyoto has a number of train and subway lines, but some of its most famous sites are most conveniently visited by bus — including Kiyomizudera temple in the east, and the gold-covered Kinkakuji temple in the northwest.

Kyoto Bus Driver Keeps Tourists On Board Out-of-Service Bus

El taco en México es uno de los platillos emblema a nivel internacional, por la gran variedad que tienen; desde tamaño, si son suaves o duros, hasta el contenido que lleva el taco. Desde un ingrediente hasta todo un platillo completo en un solo taco, los puedes encontrar desde un puesto en la calle hasta restaurantes gourmet.

Es considerado la comida rápida en México, pero con un excelente valor nutritivo. Puede ser un taco que tiene carne, verduras o frutas; o solo vegetales, puede ir desde carne al vapor o bien algún producto frito.

Usualmente la tortilla puede ser de varios ingredientes desde harina de trigo o nopal, o la tradicional harina de maíz.

La tortilla es consumida desde la época Precolombina y se prepara con un proceso de nixtamalización (maíz, agua y cal); después pasa por el metate para hacer la masa, y de ahí toma la forma de la tortilla.

Sin embargo, el taco hizo que, durante la época de la conquista, existiera la primera taquiza o el acto de comer en un colectivo tacos; iniciado por Hernán Cortes en Coyoacán.

Los primeros tacos eran de mole, guajolote y hasta de xoloitzcuintle (raza de perro). Antes de llegar a un estatus de comida gourmet, gracias a la nueva cocina mexicana, era considerada comida para la clase trabajadora.

El taco se puede dividir en 2 categorías, por tipo de carne o relleno y el otro por tipo de preparación.

Un mexicano te dirá que el éxito de un taco, más allá de la tortilla o el relleno, será la salsa. Este es uno de los ingredientes indispensables: desde una salsa roja (jitomate), salsa verde (tomate), guacamole (aguacate y chile serrano), pico de gallo (jitomate, cebolla y chile verde).
