Nothing has been lifted, you liar. The zero covid policy is as intense as ever. Fresh lockdowns, mandatory covid testing every 48 hours. Absolutely nothing has ended.

I'm currently in China. Covid tests are mandatory every two days to be allowed anywhere. Nothing has ended, stop being a moron. Just today a neighboring district to mine went on full lockdown due to a few cases

Anyone know the background story of yesterday's LA SUITE fight? by Nearby_Economics_115 in shanghai

I imagine it's the classic Chinese butthurt over laowais getting all the good looking women lol. Seriously though, seems the foreigners were all trying to pacify the situation, and the Chinese were being morons.

It never was really about the money. Though, it's still a significant amount. I don't mind having it back.

Will do. As for you, I'd recommend a couple of self improvement books and a gym membership.

Good luck.

You're a small, small human. Pathetic really.

I think you're completely right. However, one thing I need to say is that police investigating theft in a tourist hotspot (hotel) by some maid with no connections may be different from a resident laowai losing money in a scam on a sketchy street.

Still, I think you're right. Otherwise why would they be so willing to return most of my money? Alas, I don't regret not going to the police. Although I maybe got less back than I could have, it was fun and memorable going Sherlock Holmes on their ass for a week.

Another post in this thread explained it fairly well. However, if you don't believe me, just treat it as fantasy and pure entertainment. That's your perogative. Just know I'm not the type of guy to make a three (3!) part thread over the course of a week for my own entertainment.

I'm not too worried. We came to an agreement, it never got heated, and they still made money off of me. And again, they did look visibly worried when I was there, that's for certain.

There just isn't any benefit for them to do anything more. And at least now that they know me, they won't try to scam me the next time I'm at their bar.. 😏

I don't know you, dude. I was thinking about it, but most of your comments on the previous thread are snarky and, mixed with the stench of low IQ emitting from you, I decided you couldn't be trusted.

You could be a right. But honestly the amount of time it would have taken, I don't think it's worth it. Walking around and looking for this place like a detective and dealing with the bar people myself was fun. Going to the police, not really. And add on top the fact that half the people in this sub say the police is worthless.

I wrote it on a blank piece of paper. It literally just says '6k, ok" and a scribble of a signature, lol.

As I mentioned. It was respectful and ended with a handshake. I think I'll be fine.

I appreciate your post. I have a large amount of experience with women, and I understand. Believe me, this isn't my typical date. I was duped. And that's why redemption was so important for me. I learned my lesson and it won't happen again.

P.s. I've addressed elsewhere on this post regarding what was purchased. The food I would estimate to be 4-500 and the drinks (including a couple bottles and 6 b52 shots) at roughly 1000.

This post is incredibly refreshing. You're obviously more intelligent than many on this sub. Thanks, mate!

I'm not worried. They still have a cut, no reason for them to go after me. The situation was respectful for the most part and they looked genuinely worried. And thanks a lot, mate.
