Error puts Chinese tourist in German migrant hostel

 

DORTMUND: -- A Chinese tourist spent nearly two weeks in a German migrant hostel after mistakenly applying for asylum when he actually wanted to report a theft.

 

German media say the 31-year-old backpacker, who spoke neither German nor English, underwent a medical check and his fingerprints were taken.

 

A Red Cross worker later found out that the man's wallet had been stolen in Stuttgart. But instead of going to the police the man registered as a migrant.

well, that has stuffed his life forever...

 

 

...when he gets home, he'll be arrested for trying to flee communist China

(China won't worry about the technicalities of the case)

I think the Welcome Wagon is a little too welcoming when it's easier to apply for asylum that to file a report on a stolen wallet.

What was he thinking? He thought the German police can speak mandarin? Think again dude.

 

Mandarin not likely. Arabic yes.
