She didn't go off to live in a commune, but bought all sorts of expensive knick-knacks to stay in the game. @szaszha: There were many schemes like this in China (before the government decided that they were to be the only scheme in town), and my friend’s mom got sucked into it, mostly out of boredom.

I look forward to these every week. This seems to be a big problem over there. A few years ago Haruki Murakami wrote a book about the fallout and the victims of the Aum Shinrikyo Saron Subway gas attacks called Underground. It's really a heartbreaking read but I think it's worth checking out since this is the stuff of ruined lives. Anyone interested in how someone can get into the frame of mind to get exploited by a cult should also check out the show "Welcome to the NHK". Great translation again!
