Traveler Sense Tingling ...

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I never thought any further about this but I believe I spot a pattern here.
Way back in Phnom Phen I met two women from KL, Malaysia who were very talkative, just chatting me up in the central market. They asked where I was from and on hearing Germany they became excited and one wanted to introduce me her sister or niece who was going to Germany to work. That niece/sister relative was very nervous she said and it would be good for her to hear about Germany first hand from a local. I agreed and they wanted to go straight away but at the time be it out of wariness, be it because of other plans I declined. We agreed to meet later but in the evening I couldn't find them at the agreed place.
I never really gave it another thought until this afternoon a woman offered me help with directions and also started to chat. Germany - she had a sister going to Germany to work. It began the same way. Come to think of it, the two women even looked similar, were of similar age. This struck me as strange. I didn't really want to continue the conversation and left before finding out what it was about. There's something fishy about this coincidence. Maybe next time I'll indulge her purely for reasons of curiosity. I now really want to find out what this stuff is about. Anybody heard of this before?
