Canadian resident Marc Lachance met that special someone on a bus to Havana while vacationing in Cuba.
"We liked each other and spent the day together. But I was too shy to ask her address or telephone number," Lachance told the Belgian publication De Morgen. He got her first name, Sabine, she speaks French, she was travelling with a friend named Klara and that she is from Belgium.
Arriving home in Canada, Lachance realized that Sabine might be "the one". How to track down someone, when you have a first name, the country they live in and the name of a friend, Klara?
"Finally, I looked up in the phonebook the addresses of all women named Sabine," Lachance said. "There are 3,700 of them. I was shocked it's such a popular name."
He has written to all the women named Sabine in the Brussels phone book. Namur is next then the rest of Belgium.
"It is costing me a lot of money," Lachance admitted. "And what if her name is not in the phonebook - I dare not think of that."
Nor think that she might be married, have a phone in another's name, be "GOOD" friends with Klara or lied about the country.
Fool for love, comes to mind.
