Korean sold in Mcleod Ganj

KarmaPhuntsok · Mar 9th, 2008, 22:54

A word of caution to anyone being invited to go for walks with strangers.

A Korean man in his 50's was 'sold' by a beggar to people in a village North of Mcleod Ganj. Apparently this all took place as he didn't speak any English or Hindi. After a big poster campaign in Mcleod his captors decided to dump him in the forest. He managed to get to Mcleod and was recovering in hospital.

This story is about a week old as I've not been online.

Unless you have a link I'm afraid this one belongs in the "b*ll*cks" category.

Like, what were they planning to do with this korean?

Hey, guys, Korean for sale in the market, seems like a good price, might give it a test drive and see if its worth it...

I did read, in today's newspaper, about girls for sale in Orrisa.

Maybe they thought he could build them a car?

Maybe they thought he was a car!

They have been making better cars according to Consumer Reports. But, better Korean drivers never! I know I drive in the largest (pop.) Korean city in the world..

Oh, pretty good cars, these days. In fact I'd seriously consider buying (but not spelling) a Hyundai. Unlike ten or twenty years back when I got one in London from a hire company and bits fell off the bodywork on the way home.
