Richard is visiting a new city in a country he has never been to before. He signed up for a group walking tour to find out about the city's landmarks and history. He had always heard that the people in this area had light hair, blue eyes, and were very tall, yet he is seeing many people who do not fit this description. He also saw on the news that this city may be dangerous because a tourist was mugged in a park in the city center just last week. The tour guide assures him that he is safe and that the mugging was an isolated incident. Later in the day, Richard is taking pictures and finds that he has lost the tour group.
