According to Pythaeus, she was on Tarawa (part of the country of
Kiribati), an idyllic island in the Pacific, straight east of
Papua-New Guinea. Allegedly, she spent a most enjoyable time there
with Mike Sandeman, Europe's most talented Shogi player ever (although
he never really bothered to prove that).
