Another foreigner was video taped while having an argument about bringing a towel into the gym.
Supposedly, he forgot his towel and did not want to wait for his girlfriend who was on the way buying a new towel.
This very frivolous incident made it into the CTI news and it sounds very discriminating towards foreigners.
I stopped counting how often she said 'WAI GUO REN" .
Shit happens all the time and everywhere. So, what is the value of this news?
[quote=“Cornpone Hercules”]I can hear the foreigner saying “do you know who I am?”
An English teacher? [/quote]
Who cares who he is and where he comes from. In the US this news most likely would be this gentleman did this and said that, not, that foreigner did this. The foreigner said that.
The news seems to focus on foreigner a little too much for my taste.
He also is American according to his passport. Therefore, they should say the American did this and said that.
I am a German by the way.

I don’t know why they are getting their panties in a knot over the spitting. Ever been to a pool in Taiwan? People spitting regularly and then bathing in it. Pretty raunchy if you ask me. I’d rather see someone spitting at the gym than in the pool.
What a loser, would the cheap English teacher just shell out the 100 kwai for a towel cmon. I strongly dislike those randomly aggressive people, chill out and buy the towel. I will personally support deportation.
spiting and arguing? open handed slaps? WTF? over a towel. come on, if your going to make the news, make it for knocking the guy out for spitting on you. don’t slap the kid and argue about it.
definitely an East coast American accent.
Seriously get the towel for 25 NTD guys. Why is there any fight? I’m embarrassed to be a Lao-wei, with guys like this arguing and spitting. This guy is clearly in the wrong and should be publicly shamed, if you don’t have required equipment pay the 25 NTD or leave. If your girlfriend is coming with the towel wait for her. These actions would not be accepted here or in your precious USA, why should it be here.
Yes, we don’t care who you are pay the 25 NTD for the towel.
Anyway, according to Apple Daily’s “First TV”, the American forcibly tried to enter without a towel. That’s when Mr. Wu stepped in to stop him or something like that and thus the argument proceeded afterwards.
Frankly, this American is a total dckhad and I wouldn’t mind btchslapping him.

He would’ve been tased by the police in 'merica (and that’s considered lucky).
