The front page of today's Apple Daily Newspaper (which I believe is the highest selling paper in Taiwan) decided to run a story today about Foreigners stealing Taiwanese women. This paper is basically a rag, but it's at least more aware of itself than the rest of the rags around.
So... this story... actually, there were 2 stories... both saying similar things about foreigners only after one thing from the women, then leaving them heartbroken. Also it says things about the foreign community uniting to talk about ways to pick up... which is pretty untrue, but whatever...
Anyway, without translating the whole thing, and I'm too lazy to do that, I can't really explain it all that well... except to say a similar thing happened in Korea not long ago, and foreigners started getting the crap kicked out of them.
Not to say that'd happen here, but if you don't hear from me for a while, you'll know what's happened
Reading further into it, it seems the article makes reference to a story published on the Department of International affairs website (written by a Taiwanese dude, for Taiwanese) which was about how to pick up girls... So, in response, the mayor of Taipei reprimanded the guy who wrote the article, because he said he doesn't understand Taiwan (despite being Taiwanese), reprimanded his supervisor (because he doesn't understand english, despite his job being mainly to do with English...) and fired the one and only foreigner working there (cause .... I dunno). Seriously, I don't care, but man its funny.
Way to be international

Dont get me started on Foreigners stealing stuff ... happens all the time over he in England; Jobs, Women, House, Money/phones (yes they mug people)
Its happens all over the world ... Foreigners go somewhere the move in ... i think there sould be REALLY stricked rules and laws on relocation ... governments should only let people in if thered be a help to the country ... not just because theres a silly war in there own country ... its called servival of the fitest and natural selection.
Just my 5 cents ... Abit oftopic, but the main jist is there
