Buddhist word of the day: On the overview map of Kyoto train station I noticed this funny thing, instead of saying ‘You are here’ it simply said ‘Now’. I guess it comes to the same, except ‘Now’ would be true not just for the Kyoto train station map, but for most places you go, if you think about it. A little lesson in how to never get lost.
