I'd probably take getting robbed by those guys any day over any one else though. Politely takes my money and then gives me a cab ride back to my hotel... Couldn't ask for a more friendly ring of thieves. They should teach our stateside gangsters a thing or two. | ||

And I like the way chinese gangsters go about their business, not saying what they're doing is okay by any means but getting you back to your hotel and so on. | ||

It can happen in any country. while I do agree each city has its "dark corners", one can not deny the high difference regarding minimum/average salary between china and its "blessed" neighbours japan/s.korea, which affects the psychology of each and every of their citizen and their potential getting involved into criminal activities. you should read up on employers for Apple or any other major company in China, the desperation of just getting their families fed is quite 3rd world level there. | ||

Lets rob someone instead of making a decent living like a normal human being. Good luck bitter That's a little uncalled for, no? No one was hurt and Bitter got back to his hotel safely. It was just a $1600 scared straight lesson on why you shouldn't travel alone. | ||

No. Just no. Just because China have a really large population (largest in the world lol), the amount of people in each sector (middle class, low class, high class) are more than any country. Technically, China is the richest country in the world. | ||

I speak Chinese, I'm a foreigner and I could have helped him get home safely. "Shanghai. Heaven built on Hell." -Mu Shiying EDIT: I nominate that next year's wcs world championships be held in Taipei. I've walked out of many a bar and night club there wasted and never bad to worry about this sort of thing happening. On November 16 2012 21:41 Uni1987 wrote: So much assholes here jesus.

Good luck bitter I agree with this statement. What many of you don't realize is that day9, mr bitter, and all of the other casting figures in at wcs right now are world renowned and you can't expect someone to know all of the languages and customs (both good and bad)of every single country that they go to. | ||

If you didn't know: murdering people is also illegal in china and if they get caught they don't want to get in jail forever because they murdered someone. These small pseudo-gangsters who mostly only try to steal from tourists are not these type of russian mafia guys who would kill someone. Just saying people who are mugging/scamming/robbing aren't know for making the most rational of decisions. But you are awfully confident in exactly how their reaction would have been. Also I know the leg was a joke, but having a leg broken is way worse than losing some money in my experience. Two months on crutches, and likely surgery | ||

And then you think to yourself that the main character would never follow this shady guy to some whorehouse in real life. Guess MrBitter comes straight out of the corny hollywood movies as well. Glad nothing actually happened to MrBitter tho (other than the scare and money loss of course). | ||
