Your story really does strike a chord with me.

While yes, there are some girls that do this solely for money so they can spend, spend, spend... there are some who are forced to do it.

As a man, sometimes we have this "knight in shining armour" complex which makes us even more vulnerable to these sob stories. Granted, some are fake but there are some true stories among them.

It's really hard for us to imagine the lives they lead. I have a vietnamese friend here (she's studying here for her degree) and she admits that coming from a rich family in HCMC, she too doesn't experience the hardship that some of her countrywomen face.

I mean... my BX never got to go to school. Working in padi fields from 6yrs until she was 12, then washed dishes in restaurants till 15. Learnt how to do hair & nails from her cousin then worked in a hair salon from 18-21, then came over to Stinkapore be KTV girl.
