Thank you for sharing. Another thing they would do before they show you the bill is that, the mummy would tell you that the bill must be settled in the room only. I had this experience when I was in Nanjing. Other than lady's drink, the gilrs keep bringing in packets of titbits, and they would open a new pack even before the previous pack still has more than half of the contents inside. Those titbits are very very expensive as well. My friends argued with the mummy, but after they saw four to five guys loitering outside the joint, they paid up.
yo dt, let the pu(ssy) bro do it for you... haha...i think the six words "谦受益，满招损“ come from the sentence "惟德动天, 无远勿届, 满招损, 谦受益, 时乃天道".
谦 means 谦虚 > humble/modest
受益 means to benefit/benefiting/receive/ in sammyboy lingo, cum
满 means 自满、自傲、骄傲 > proud/pride/full of oneself/ or in spore context, yaya papaya...
招 means brings about/attract/cause/invite/ or in spore context again, kena
损 means damage/loss/broken/ in spore context pic cha
so, if you put the six words together, in simple english, i think you can take it as Modesty brings benefits while pride leads to loss.
don't humtum me if i dont explain it correctly or clearly hor... haha, anyway, thanks to PTR for sharing these 6 words...very enlightening...
Bro holein1,
Very detailed explanation, indeed. Thank you, I also learnt a lot from your explanation.

Thanks for the explaination for this Jialaowei... kekeke
One will benefit for being humble, but complacent would bring about losses.
This is the closest I can get. Sorry if there is any inaccuracy.
My 2 cent worth
yoyo bro PTR, i like your “杨六郎辕门斩子” story...haha...the actual story really teaches one how to be an acting king - in such a short while, one learns how to 无中生有、满天过海、借尸还魂、反客为主、笑里藏刀、暗度陈仓、苦肉计、连环计, etc...

yoyo bro, i totally agree with you. this kind of black shop i also partially kena in even korea!! and that time it's so "funny" that my korean friend is with me, and i even asked him to confirm that it's just those costs..when we were at the black shop, i started to get suspicious when i saw the ladies kept ordering LD...so after the first bottle, i asked for the bill..my korean friend got a shock...
as for that massage place, i will try to get ss or dt to go with me...knn...you got me so aroused....haha
regarding the weird accent i am not sure if u guys have watched Noose, if not take a look it's so funny.
Below link compilation of Michelle Chong's Noose episode playing LuLu the KTV hostess from China..
Wah Lao! i like the armpit hair part...she really sounded like ALL my chinese colleagues! hahaha!
look like all chinese do not shave or remove their armpit hair..
upz for u!

My friends, one ang mo and one singaporean got into one of these shops and was harassed.
He called me which happened that i am in Shanghai.
I asked him how much he has, he said 2k rmb in his pocket.
then i tell him, insist on paying by credit or visa and claimed that no more money with him now.
they argued for awhile...even asked my friend to withdraw from the atm, lucky he was quick enough to say forget PIN.
They managed to make him sign the bill with the Visa with a slightly different signature but looked similar..the chinese cannot really differentiate.
Immediately, he got back to hotel, call VISA and report lost...
the Bill did not arrive to him at all.
They are screwed!
你做初一， 我做十五！
I totally agree with you. My opinion is based on the encounters with some of the Chinese, and should not be generalised to all the Chinese.
1. They have the habit of be-little others. They have the habit of telling me "I do not understand your English", just because I do not roll the "r" like the americans. They do not notice that I have even more problems in understanding their English. Next time, just pay special attention to how they pronounce "N", "W", "M", just to name a few. Do you realise how they say "KTV" ? pay attention to the "V".
2. They claim that I do not know the Chinese history well enough. But when I engaged them in discussion on major "Historical Events" in the Chinese history, they knew very little or nothing on what I was trying to tell them. Yet, they like to test me, one senior person even tried to test me by saying "杨六郎衙门斩子“， which means just put up a show, in the discussion. I happened to understand, and told him "好！那我们就做个样子吧！” They should not assume that we "Jia Laowais" know nothing about them.
3. For those who had been overseas for a short while, or even gone overseas for their studies, they are even more 嚣张. They think they know all about oveseas, and Singapore being a small red dot, would not be possible to know more than them. I read from the newspapers on the ranking of our universities, NUS (top 30 in the world) and NTU (quite high, but forget), their reaction is "This is impossible". I told them that the ranking is not done by us, but done by the Times Higher Education based in UK. See the implications?
4. When they told me that they do not understand when we speak English, my reaction has always been, "If you are good in a language, you should understand it even if it is spoken with different accents". I ask them whether they understand when someone from Sichuan, North East, Fujian, etc speaks to them in Mandarin, they would answer yes. I would tell them that this is because you are good in Mandarin so even if someone from Sichaun speaks to you with their accent, you would understand.
Over the years in China, I met many such Chinese who think highly of themselves. Sigh.... They do not realise the reality that the Real Laowais are looking down on them. We, the "Jia Laowais" could stand up and challenge the "Real Laowais" with confidence and with convincing words in foreign language.
I would like to share with you all the six GOLDEN words in Chines
"谦受益，满招损“
My 2 cent worth。
Big Bro PTR,
Now that i read your post, SALUTE SALUTE SALUTE!
请受小弟一拜！

Bro c2b2,
Please do not say that. I am merely sharing with fellow brothers here on some of my humble experience.
What I dislike most is to look down on others, especially to people of your own origin. I would never talk back about my own compatriots in front of foreigners, instead, I would give them my 2 cent worth when we are alone, Singaporean - to - Singaporean.
More to tell you when we meet in Beijing.
About the encounter of your friend and an ang mo, I hope it serves as a warning to others. I have more of such stories to tell you, some of which are my personal encounters. I should say that I have learnt from a hard way.
