Lately, I've been getting more emails from my the blog's readers than I ever did before. I like meeting new people and getting feedback - good and bad - about what I write. Of all the mails I got recently, the one I got yesterday really surprised me :
"Hey,
I hope you're having a good time in London, bro…
I'll tell what I've been up to.
Last October I took a China Airlines flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong. I met a flight-attendant, who I thought was one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. We spent the whole flight talking. I never really believed in love at first sight before, but when I first saw her in the Bangkok duty-free and she looked at me I knew she was exactly what I was looking for. Fate has brought us together to the same flights.
On the flight, she asked me what I wanted to eat - fish or ham, and I don't like this kind of stuff, but she took care of me and brought me a different meal which I liked, and her friend covered for her the whole flight so we can talk. At the end of the flight I gave her a gift I bought in Bangkok and she gave me her email and told me her name - which was impossible to remember.
When I got back to Bangkok, I lost the trip photos and her mail on the day I was going back to Israel. So, I went back to the Taipei trying to track her down. As somebody who knows the Taipei airport you know that when you leave the plane you see who boards the plane after you because the waiting gate is just across the line. I saw her and her friend waiting to board the plane, but she didn't see me and they wouldn't let me through. I quickly went down to the terminal and requested to board that flight, and they told me there are no more seats and that the plane is leaving. I finally found a different flight to Hong Kong, but it took a long time to leave and I lost her. I spent a fortune in Hong Kong since I stayed there for a week.
I just can't forget her, so I'm going to try my luck again and I'm planning to invest a great deal. It might all be for nothing, but I will try non-the-less.
I know it sounds like a TV drama but that's the state that I'm in.

Do you have any advice? Because you sound like a guy with a good head on his shoulders. How can I track her down?
Thanks, hope you'll help me and I promise not to bother you again, I'm just giving it a last try.
Thanks,
Anonymous"
You all got to admit that's a romantic story, and I would really like to help the guy. I wrote him what I thought he should do, but come to think of it - he could use others' advise on this one.
What do you think?
