Foreigner gets himself into dangerous romantic triangle
What do you think of the mess this foreigner got into?
Craig, a laid off property lawyer from England, met his Chinese girlfriend and her husband in a private room in the second floor of a teahouse. Jade translated her husband's first words: "He said he will avenge you."
"What the hell does that mean?" Craig responded.
She translated her husband's reply as, "God only knows."
In the beginning
The teahouse meeting was two months after Craig first met Jade, at the bar where a handful of foreigners in town met on Fridays.
Craig felt isolated in the mid-sized city near Shanghai where he had been teaching English since moving to China in September. People treated him like a celebrity, asking to take pictures with him or shake his hand, but he had no Chinese friends or girlfriends.
Things with Jade, who was about 30, the same age as him, were going so well that he was considering asking her to return to England with him, where he hopes to resume his career after the jobs come back. He found her limited English a relief, precluding speaking for the purpose of filling silence.

> Craig started receiving threatening text messages in English. "Go out China, I will kill you; by the way, f*** your mother."
I very enjoy this humour article!

Re: Foreigner gets himself into dangerous romantic triangle
The funniest bit is the last page...
where the poor hero of the story shifts from "excitingly dangerous affair" to "wtf I don't even know the name of her hometown and she's trying to have my child already with or without my consent?"
what a jackass
Sometimes I feel it is maybe unbearable always be traditional Chinese girl.

Oh we can swear in the Global Times now?
Hmmmm.... so many possibilities for future cartoons!
Oh, sorry to steal your thunder Craig, oh, I mean Chris, but everyone at TBJ please check out the Global Times tomorrow.. I've kicked Garfield out and I've got two cartoons featured... one "language" and one just "general funny." Please lemme know what you think!

Re: Foreigner gets himself into dangerous romantic triangle
What a pathetic, tabloid-type "story".
What the hell kind of newspaper prints rubbish like that?
It's embarrassing to think someone actually spent time writing that tripe.
If the story is true, that foreigner deserves all the trouble that is going to fall on his head in the future.
I don't know what irritates me the most, the guy in the story or the actual story itself.
Sickening.

No, I don't.
And I especially don't enjoy reading crap about stupid foreigners and idiotic Chinese people who should have their skulls cracked open like f-ing coconuts.

Re: Foreigner gets himself into dangerous romantic triangle
Yeah, you're right.
I'm in a very grumpy mood right now because of an "incident" I just had at a restaurant. Some days I just can't tolerate the incessant rudeness of the Chinese and I completely loose my sh*t and go berserk.

I'd love to see someone pull a loaded crossbow out of a backpack, or did the other guy stand around waiting while the hubby cocked it then carefully placed the bolt in the weapon.

Re: Foreigner gets himself into dangerous romantic triangle
Wow, that was ridiculous. The Global Times are clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel for stories not to mention "writers"
"Within a couple of weeks, Craig asked Jade to marry her"
Craig is a woman?
I honestly think a 12 year old could paste together the contents of this very forum and pop out a more interesting read.

Re: Foreigner gets himself into dangerous romantic triangle
That whole story is absolute f-ing gold. I read the whole thing from start to finish and almost, almost dropped my beer laughing.
The only good thing I can fathom from it is that the old bloke doesn't give a sh*t about what anyone else thinks. But a pedo or a murderer could say the same couldn't they!?
I have just been talking to her on the computer. We have never been closer

Re: Foreigner gets himself into dangerous romantic triangle
Just to clear things up, I was referring to the guy who broke up the marriage and then didn't know what to do with his life next. He just felt lonely, had no game and wanted some sex.
As far as the old guy is concerned, he knows what he wants from life so he doesn't really count as a "loser" although the story itself is indeed entertaining....

Re: Foreigner gets himself into dangerous romantic triangle
Yeah sorry Blackman. I should have clarified that comment better. I wasn't referring to the same piece as you were.
I just stumbled across that story link.
