A few years ago the British
team Manchester United
played the Spanish team
Deportivo de La Coruña in
the Champions League.
Two Manchester United
fans wanted to travel to
Spain to see the game.
It wasn’t possible to fly to
La Coruña direct, so they
needed to fly to Santiago
de Compostela, and then
get a taxi.
They booked tickets to
Santiago on the Internet.
They checked in at Heathrow
Airport at 9:00 p.m. because
the flight was at 11:00
at night.
When the plane landed
they were very surprised! 
It was morning!
They walked out of the
airport and stopped a taxi.
They asked the taxi driver,
“Where’s the game?” The
taxi driver answered,
“What game?”
They weren’t in Spain. 
They were in Santiago, the
capital of Chile!
