Indeed.

That baffles me as well, just as...

...this.
There are actually so many strange details about this that I still wonder if the whole story is actually true:
- why did the town hall employee even believe him to be a refugee? Chinese refugees are very, very rare after all...
- why let they just sign him an asylum plea (or generally speaking, any form) if it's obvious that he doesn't understand a single word of what he signs?
- how was the tourist planning to communicate if he didn't even know english? Didn't he even have any kind of translator?
- why didn't he complain much more when he was taken to the refugee camp and the several days after? Didn't he realize there must be a misunderstanding?
- why didn't anyone else sooner think of getting a translator?
etc...
