Description


Oh, excuse me! Do you ever feel sleepy during the day, but then not sleepy that night? Actually, a lot of people have that problem!
你會不會有時候白天想睡覺,但是到了晚上就不睏了? 其實很多人都有這個問題。

Do you also ever feel sleepy when sitting on the bus or the train?
你搭公車或是火車時也昏昏欲睡嗎?

Guess what? A lot of people feel like that too!

You must have seen many people fall fast asleep on their way to school, or work, or on the way home when riding public transport.
你一定看過別人在公車上熟睡。

Well, in Hong Kong, a company that does bus tours decided to give these people what they want.

They started a new tour. A five-hour bus ride that just… drives around.

Passengers buy tickets to this tour… to get some sleep!
一家香港旅行社決定來幫忙。他們推出五小時繞來繞去的巴士行程,客人買票上車就可以睡覺了 !

That's pretty weird!

The tour bus also gives passengers an eye mask and ear plugs! Some passengers even bring their own blanket, pillow, and slippers!
旅行社提供眼罩跟耳塞. 有的客人還會帶自己的棉被枕頭跟拖鞋!

If you really can't sleep, maybe a long sleepy bus tour could help you. But I still think I'd prefer getting a good night's sleep in my own comfortable bed!
