| Chinese use to say "I have loose a bicycle" instead of "someone has stolen my bicycle". Why? When I arrived in China with a few other foreigners, we all bough new bicycles... mine (stolen inside my building, the guard who knew very well my bicycle did nothing to stop the robber), my flatmate one, two of my second flatmate, one of my friend, his girls friends friend, etc... all have been stolen within 3 months. So, I bought a old crappy one, one year later someone STOLE it. PS: I do not find funny to see someone who has been STOLEN. |
