Overview
Daniel traveled to Japan for dating and met a 40-year-old Japanese woman via HelloTalk, having conversed by phone for weeks before accepting her offer to stay at her apartment for a week.
Despite feeling disappointment and lacking attraction upon meeting her at the airport, Daniel engaged in sexual intimacy on the second night.
Feeling trapped when the woman took time off work and treated them as a couple, Daniel fled while she was in a restroom during a castle visit, taking a bus and a flight to another city while leaving his belongings behind.
Using personal information from the backpack left behind, the woman tracked Daniel down, obtained an apology, and mailed his possessions back to him.
