People I met in this region - Part 2 (Story of River)
Let's conclude the storied story (?) of River - our friend from Chicago who wandered to Laos to look for a river and the man in her dreams.
I went to Kung's cafe to look for the river seeker. According to Kung, River has left Laos over a year ago. This is Kung's story as to what happened to River:
"River was buying food from Khuadin market one day when she bumped into a Lao man. River was shocked because the Lao man was dressed exactly like the beautiful man standing along the river in her dream. In other words, the man was wearing the same green pants (Note : River did not tell me that the man along the river in her dream was wearing green pants. Can her dream get more bizzare?). River was smitten and decided that there was no need to look for a river anymore because she had found the beautiful man in her dreams. Her destiny was fulfilled!
River thus fell in love with this Lao man who was a sculptor. However, the Lao man used her. The Lao man claimed to do a lot of work for charity and used River's help although his activities were really all for profit. E.g. when the Thai government gave away free tree saplings to the poor Thais in Northern Thailand, the Lao man tricked River to cross the border to Thailand with him to help grab as many free tree saplings as possible (even though he is not Thai). The Lao man told River that he was taking these saplings for the poor in Laos. However, by a twist of fate, River discovered that the Lao man was actually selling these saplings at the market for his own profit.
River was disillusioned and left the Lao man. She decided to leave Laos with a sad heart."
Welcome to Bizzaro Land!
If looking for a river in her dream is not bizarre enough, I still can't believe she fall in love with a man just because he was wearing the same green pants as the guy in her dream.
I wish River the best of luck in her future endeavours. Or in her quests to look for geological features like rivers or volcanoes.

huh? That man probably heard her dream story from someone and wore green pants to pretend to bump into her.
This woman lives in her dream. Well, at least she woke up to realise how bizzare it is.
How many years did she waste in Laos?
I never thought of that. Sneaky.
She wasted two years in Laos before waking up to the fact that she was being swindled by a man in green pants.
Ha ha... but seriously, woman in general has the "ability" to be this stupid.
Not Singaporean women. They are too smart and practical to be taken in by figment of their dreams or fantasies. They are of course, vulnerable to posers and ah bengs.
Ha ha... how true. You forgot to add, vulnerable to LVs too.
