Story:
One super hot day in Kyoto, Tara was walking around the markets when she spotted a man with a tent set up just outside the back entrance (by fluke as she'd gotten a bit lost on her way). The man had collected maps for years and years and had a folder from each country. He went through all the Japanese ones and helped her pick a handful of favourites, explaining them to her one by one.
