They don't have nets in the malls I guess? And Chinese people celebrate Christmas?

Rock bottom prices!

Hmmm maybe only in spirit. My friend is at Ningbo Campus for Nottingham Uni this year and she says her term doesn't end for xmas until like the 23rd and then restarts on like the 27th. Think she gets a day off for new years as well but otherwise she's in lectures the entire time. Compare that to Notts in the UK where we end this Friday 13th and don't start again until Jan 13th.

He had enough, the most spectacular way.

[Jeleh]

The guy deserves a medal for not fucking about to be honest.

[Tradewind]

I bet she'll take him seriously now. He sure showed her.

[Archimand]

i guess those prices was ...
to die for

[Tradewind]

I bet it was the christmas music that got him cranked up.

You see women, this is what happens when you take entirely too long to shop. Haha I kid, I kid but seriously what hardened determination to just jump to get a point across.

The only proper response

That's only outside the factory windows.


Though on subject, where do you live that they DO have nets in the malls?

And Chinese people celebrate Christmas?

According to Forrest Gump they don't.

This is alarmingly dumb. Wouldn't it be easier just to leave her? Or at least consider chucking her over the balcony instead.

Seriously! I've dated woman that piss me off or drive me nuts, but never one that would make me want to kill myself. Of course, in China with the whole one-child policy thing there's a growing disproportionate number of men over women, so I guess I could see where if you're one of the lucky ones that gets a woman that you'd go to great lengths to keep her, but when its over you freak'n walk away. You don't kill yourself!

[Shakadam]

You have to laugh at the stupidity of the whole thing xD

I can't really comprahend his thought process here... Why didn't he just leave her to her shopping while he sat down in a nice cafe or something? Or just get in the car/bus/train/whatever and go home without her then... Why would he kill himself? I just... wat?

He's dead...
