I know a woman (ex-girl-friend 30 years ago) who was scheduled to go to JAPAN under contract. I had lived in Japan when i was 17-19 y.o. (Dad was a Lt. Col Air Force Cross and DFC precipitant).
I knew of these stories from the worldly men who flew with my Father.
I was immediately ALARMED and asked "Who" is contracting you. Where are you staying? I then told the stories no one wishes to tell. (This was her dream. Thus she was perfect prey).
Long story short,... she did not go. The man organizing the product (the women) was under investigation with 3 alphabet identities.
She did not go. What happened? Who knows.
I read this story with melancholy.
