When he saw a silver bus marked Club Class he got on it. Unfortunately the bus was for people going to a birthday party. The people on the bus helped Mr Kajuyama with his bags and found him a seat. He thought he was on the right bus until they stopped at a pub and everyone got off. They asked Mr Kajiyama to join their party and so he followed them into the pub.

He had a drink and danced to the music with the other members of the party. In the end he went back to the house of one of his new friends and he slept on the sofa.
