Not so good time in China.
Remember that I’ve told you I had a good time in China. Well all was ok except for some things, as I got cheated quite a few times. In fact the first cheat was when I stepped of the plain:
1. was walking toward the exit of the airport to take a direct train to my girls town which is 2 hours away when some people I’ve asked for direction told me that its best to take a mini van there and told me to go to mini van. So I went the mini van turned out to be a crap old coach that broke down almost near the town and it took them 4 hours to replace it. It also cost more for this way of travel.
2. Went to buy electronics to make some money and bring back to UK. Well they sold me usb memory sticks 6 of which made by Sony of which none worked! So i took them back. Then they gave me another Sony product MP4 player which worked but as i’ve sold 3 of them on ebay in UK, they turned out to be fakes. And 2 of the buyers wanted their money back. Also one got lost by our terrible royal mail.
3rd con was when I played euro millions on net and won $46 dollars. Web site was in USA and promised to send me cheque in post which never arrived.
4. there were probably several other ways I was knocked but were to good to detect.
In fact i’ve not made any money in China. It appears that Chinese people in China are hunting foreigners to cheat them. When they see a foreigner on the street and alarm rings in their heads to go and do him. I was really easy pray being there for first time and not knowing how things work.
I’ve meet coupple of Chinese that seem to have a mind that works like this:
1. cheat him
2. cheat him again
3. cheat him until his finished
4. then step over his dead body and find another foreign fool
This happend in west also but in China its so blatant its shocking! In big shops with branded names like Sony being sold fakes!
If you going there you better have a good guide which are hard to come or you will be scammed!
The only good things I can say about China are those:
1. My Chinese girl friend offered me to stay at her place rent free. She is kind and loving.
2. Got invited several time to restaurant by few Chinese friends.
3. Food in China is really tasty and cheap! But watch out don’t eat at every restaurant as some sell food thats gone off (as we know where Sars come from , many vendors don’t know much about hygiene). To many restaurants and food sellers in China hygiene is as alien concept as human rights and environmental protection or the taboo practice of honesty to the Chinese government.
Best to eat in restaurants that are on main streets and not small off the street outlets!
4. Some friends went with me to help me find things to sell back in UK.
Told my mate about it in Wales. He said ‘Thats a third world”.
Completely forgotten that China is a third world and what that means. What that means dear readers is that there is no justice, no honor, no dignity, no respect. It is a place where there is only 1 God - money. You can buy anything or anyone there - children, babies, organs, military equipment, people for whatever you want, forest to burn down… If you wondering how this is possible it is simple. Third world is so corrupted that they will sell anything for some dough. You can get away with anything, most of the time quite cheaply as Police there is cheap!
Another think I've experienced while in China is a sad feeling that Chinese hate each other. It is a feeling just
like a feeling I have in London that if you have no friends here and no money people will step over you when you
fall down and give you any help. When you go down each 'level' you go down you get something ripped of you. At first
it be your clothes, then your body, then your soul. Just like in London, if you have no money and no contacts you will
need a lof of good luck to survive in the Jungle.
My other mate gave me the below link showing how
the chinese have been scamming foreigners for centuries it would seem and have become experts, many have suffered. http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=683070
