More Discussion on Tibet Just a word out to all of the Chinese who are pissed off about biased Western media coverage and uninformed Western protestors. I'm a regular white guy who supports China. I don't like the situation in Tibet but I don't like the situation in lots of places. I think that the Chinese position regarding Tibet is not unreasonable. Heck if so many Americans are so pissed off why don't they talk about giving back to the Native Americans and Hawaiians before they start pointing fingers at other countries! I think the way people in the US and Europe are acting towards China is not reasonable at all and I hope that some sense will get into people's heads before this goes too far. Dui bu qi. |

Crime and Beggars in Shanghai Hi! I just came on 20 march to shanghai for holiday. Just found your site and it is great! Will like to share an incident that happened to me the other day. Was walking along area around Xiang Yang when vendors approached me to ask me to go to their shop. I said no and carried out walking and the vendor pursued me, constantly pestering me and showing me the name card and asking me to go to their shop. I was hassled for about 50 metres and finally she gave up. However, later I found out the real scam. She had pickpocketed me. Luckily, she could only take my nokia battery which was kept on a travel bag. I realised then that this was similar to the gypsy children in Italy. They asked for money with a placard and underneath the placard was the real sleigh of hand. The Next time vendors approach me, I know what to expect. I hope your readers will too. |
