Following my earlier posting I'd like to add the following:
During my travels I met quite a lot of kind people: Sometimes it's hard to find out whether or not their kindness is for real or whether people just like the money you carry around.
Meeting my girl last year I thought she was special because she never asked for anything even though she was selling clothes on the beach and really needed the money. She just was nice to me.
Corresponding with her I thought it was only normal I'd send her some money as well: at least enough to buy stamps to write me back. In the letters she sent me back she always expressed that she felt embarrassed to accept that money since she would never be able to pay me back, which was proof enough to me she was (is) genuine.
Next to that: it took me four weeks of being confused and one and a half hours of begging and pleading before the truth came out.
At that particular moment almost every piece of the puzzle fitted.
Nevertheless, offering her to buy the house it didn't feel right to ask her whether or not she'd be mine: if she'd promise that it would have made me feel as if I had bought her.
A few days before leaving however, I had to know so I popped the question anyway to which she proved willingly mentioning that with me buying her the house her biggest problem in life was over and that now she wouldn't have to be worried anymore about loving whoever she wanted to. So that's why I'm going back as soon as I can.
Having come back home however it's hard to explain to my family and friends what has happened and talking with western people questions arise like "is every word she said the truth?"
If it isn't she is the most cunning person on earth because making up scheme like this is unbelievable but possible... If she has played me for a fool she has played her parents, friends, neighbours and relatives as well and because they are genuine friends of mine as well it's so hard to believe she isn't genuine...
Right now I'm waiting for a word from her to have some sort of confirmation of the incredible story I lived and hopefully will be living from now on.

P.s. To earn the money back which I paid for the house I have to work for about four months at my current job, so it's not too big a sacrifice in my opinion...
