Lately I've been watching a lot of Chinese movies, many of them feature Triads fighting with each other both in China and/or overseas, however I find the Chinatowns here really calm, I would never imagine any Triads being active here, maybe in America it's different as there are bigger Chinatowns there but here in Europe I don't catch any vibe of what is pictured in these movies, am I being paranoid? lol

Maybe there are not enough young Chinese males there and/ or they are content living in a nice cool climate and enjoying tasty coffee and chocolate in Belgium.
