Lieber Herr Lighthart,

Congratulations on your ardent desire to write of the woes and worries of today's expats living and working in the PRC. 'Tis, indeed, something which should, in fact, be shouted from the rooftops. On the other hand, and with all due respect, might I suggest you write such an epic IN DEUTSCH, as opposed to English... that is unless you are willing to engage the services of a first-rate PROOFREADER. On re-reading your pitch to this forum, this should be quite apparent.
