Woman, 86, gets lost during outing

An 86-year-old woman made a series of mistakes and got lost during an outing on Sunday. After buying a basketful of fruits and vegetables from a new supermarket, she tried to take a subway home, but got lost. She apparently mistook a stranger for a neighbor who could take her home and followed a young woman on a bullet train bound for Nanjing in Jiangsu province. After the train arrived in Nanjing, she realized her mistake. An attendant on the train found a piece of paper in her pocket with her son's telephone number and called him. She made it home early the next morning.
