this statement is totally untrue ...
the story that i mentioned abt getting rob, tied and beat up was a taiwanese and even hongkies too ...
so such scam is universal ... anyone and everyone is a possible victim especially when u r not careful or greedy ...

and i agreed with bro pink flyod .... ur method could turn the other way and u'll get hurt or probably killed ...
dun under estimate the chinese ....
人肉叉烧包 is generated from HK .. a chinese territory ...

TS lucky he was not stab or beaten up....

In PRC, they can draw out knife n stab you.........and get away with it.
The Gong-an dun give a shit whether u alive or dead.

As mention by Bros, if alone, cheong in-house hotel sauna or ktv.

[coolmanks]

Cannot agreed more with you on this.

There are times to talk loudly and there are time to eat humble pie.

Anyway, if you travel alone in China, the best entertaiment outlet is your own hotel KTV and massage / sauna. If those are not avialable in you hotel, ask the front desk for recommendation. Don't listen to pimp lurking outside your hotel or taxi drivers.

and if you are unlucky and not yet dead from the stab wound,
maybe a shitty passerby or maybe the JC himself will cut out your organs to sell too.. then u will sure be dead.

Don't be a hero in a foreign land.

I agree with bro pink_Flyod. Not worth try even it means it works 9 out of 10 times. U don't want to be paying for the 1 time that don't work because it won't be a matter of money anymore.
No one like to be cheated.. But if it's just $$$ then move on and better spent your time making more and enjoy more.

This Happens in all parts of China

1) so be careful
2) gotta learn to be smart
3) dont follow idiot who ask you to follow them
4) best not to talk to anyone
5) taxi driver sometimes who KNN type, must be careful
you need to assess the driver..some are good
some are black drivers, who bring you black bar
6) your life is precious, not worth to risk it
3000 RMB or even 10000 RMB is more worth it than your life!

7) count yourself unlucky if it happens to you, learn from this

am learning every day

8) make frens and brudders with locals
both black and white, esp police and you will go a long way...

Black shops, are all over, so be careful

and for goodness sake, where got brudder so free, read the whole forum and refresh page by page...just post and learn from each other lor, wau lau!
only scholar read every page, page by page, 1000-2000 pages
must as well spend that time to go and cheong and learn from mistake..

bro adiddas,

so fierce ah... hehehe... its a sunday wor...

is it the same hotel checkout feeling on a sun afternoon?

[whitegals]

When in China, please play it smart, and dun act like you have a lot of money. The gals won't be impressed, they'll just think, ho sey leow, another Robert.

And please don't listen to that kuku who tell people to act garang, you are a foreigner, they take one look at you, straight away they can tell, act garang and you may end up on the wrong side of a parang.

Sure, unless you have 关系 with the 公安 or some 干部，and you have some guys in your room packing heat, sure go ahead and be garang...

[tikopei]

agree....

never never act tough in china, unless you are 110% sure........

Ignore the kuku advice of acting garang

[fulham]

You are lucky you were just brought to a KTV and lost some $$$, when venture into unknown territory always be extra careful, do not be so naive, and follow stranger to their recommended place, and always avoid street pimps at all cost.

In China, you can just go to those normal sauna, or massage place in China, these are plentiful, but check the price first before entry though. I do go alone, it is relatively safe.

Just my personal views, in Shanghai, in China or anywhere in the world, if we travel alone or even with friends, try to fit in together with the locals and don't dress or act like a tourist/foreigner. Never ask a stranger (taxi driver, pimp or someone on the street) to recommend and/or bring u to any place to cheong......u will be lucky to pay and come out alive.

Yes, we must be steady when situation arises, and also bring only sufficient cash out each time, we don't want to be short of cash and refused exit (surrounded by local gangsters) when we kena makan by the locals and/or also don't wished to be seen as carrying excess cash and become an easy target. One thing for sure, they only want your cash, not our life, for a start.

I travel alone to everywhere and so far so good in PRC, maybe i am lucky, and most important I will try to fit in as a local (my dressing are localised), although most of the time my language may gave me away instantly when I speak, and I nevered trust or go along with any stranger whom pretend to be friendly and act as a Cheong/Shopping guide etc.
