Hey expat men: Don't take candy from strangers

candy_strangers.jpg Dear expat men, we get that Shanghai is filled to the brim with sultry sirens batting their eyelids and flashing their wares, and that it's probably too much to ask you guys to not partake in the debauchery all around you. But, beware; beneath each playful mermaid is a sea monster waiting to feast. Case in point: two Indonesian women who were just detained by police on Wednesday. Their catches - an Australian, a Dutchman and a Frenchman - all fell victim to the same ploy. Vulnerable and drunk (or just horny), these expat men accepted candy - drugged candy - from the ladies at bars around town. These unsuspecting men then took the pair home, only to have all their luggage stolen in the middle of the night. The two ladies were nabbed at their Huangpu hotel and are now under police custody, where they can do rich, lascivious expats no more harm... but don't think there aren't others like them out there!

    At least they weren't conned by ladyboys, like in Bangkok and Singapore. LOLLLLL!

    "an Australian, a Dutchman and a Frenchman". This almost seemed like the setup for a joke.



    I discovered bars weren't the right place to talk to "ladies"...

    @super688: for a "wealthy guy" you are nursing quite a sizable inadequacy complex.



    Almost the size of your candy-giver's implants. My condolence on your loss. Hope the lady didn't do a Lorena Bobbit on you.

    Great post!

  • When will they learn that western expat's who get sent to Shanghai aren't rich! They just spend every cent they earn.

  • oliverseal

    Guilty.
