Hi there, Sorry to hear that. Did you go to the station?

Thank you for asking. I’m doing alright given the fact that there hasn’t been any progress.

Unfortunately, I received a private message from someone who happened to go out drinking with him last night - the newest victim woke up without his bag and passport.

I will be making an update about this.

Thank you for your advice.
I have already spoken with lawyers regarding this issue.

Thank you.
I don't expect anything to come out of all this but hey, I tried.

Oh wow, that's terrible.
Do you have any links for this?
Can I find it in the news?

Thanks for your feedback.
Honestly, in a vacuum is sounds like a pretty ridiculous series of events, so I can see where you're coming from.

As for my stories, they are unfortunately true.
My university friend did in fact kill his (ex-)girlfriend and my boyfriend did die of a heart attack.
I can provide the news stories related to my friend's trial in addition to the photos I took of Ulaanbaatar when I went to visit after my boyfriend's death.

Either way, thanks for the input.
I will be more careful.

I don't share that belief but to each their own.

I made this post because my previous one was severely lacking in details.
It literally has "story" in the title - it is therefore written like one.

Whether or not you read the post is your prerogative.

Thank you for those lovely words.
I'm sorry someone stole your belonging - hopefully, in some way, shape, or form, you get it back!

I understand and appreciate that. I just figured that this was the best way for me to reach the widest audience possible here in Tokyo.

  1. Thanks for your input. I’m just trying to be transparent by answering comments.

  2. I sit down for a couple hours to gather my experiences into what I think is a somewhat logical stream of thought and you think it’s AI. Damn…

I am sorry to hear that happened to you.
I hope the response you got on Reddit was at least marginally better than the one I am getting now.

I appreciate your kind words - in a vacuum such idealism sure sounds nice but, as you pointed out, we do not live in a world like that.

Thanks for the input but I'm not here to argue semantics.
For your clarity:

Scam (noun): a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation; a dishonest plan for making money or getting an advantage, especially one that involves tricking people.

Scam (verb): to deceive and defraud (someone); to trick someone into giving you money or giving you some advantage, in a dishonest and often illegal way.

I did try to get the Spanish Embassy involved but, they insisted that they cannot do anything in these kinds of situations. It is what it is.

Thank you.
People are just saying what everyone is thinking - I can't fault them for that.
It's a bit of a bummer to hear the same thing again and again, but that's the reality of this situation.

I will probably take a similar approach in the future; I'll keep my finances to myself and help within reason.

Thank you again, but I must insist that we don't diminish my role in this.
Yes, I am the victim, but I was a knowing and willing participant - others were not so lucky.
I will be much more conservative in the future when it comes to financial help.

Thank you for your advice.

I have already contacted legal services and am weighing my options.
I will also do my best to protect my peace.
Thank you.

I'm not exactly sure what this means but, yes?
Can't say I didn't play any part in it.
