Michelle，

Thanks for your info. I am certain you are not Chinese and actually worked at Owen College. I have nothing against Owen apart from his businessmanship that may result in you ending up in a shithole somewhere. There's probably a lot of cronyism in his realm resulting in him making a wallet-full out of selling you to a school. Besides from that, very good. I might recommend Buckland too. I certainly wouldn't recommended his brother who owns Omeida, more on that soon.

However, I'm not too sure that Owen owns Owen College, or even controls it. I see Buckland and Owen College as separate businesses. This is not a comment on Owen or Owen College, just one of the bosses.

I don't know if you and I are talking about the same person being hit with a bottle/same incident. The person I met was working outside of Guangxi at a school that Owen & Jennifer found for him. He then returned to Yangshuo for a few months before returning home. (Many do this.) He was not a drunk or mentally ill.

I'm also not sure if we are talking about the same owners/managers of Owen College. (Not Buckland.) I was at Owen College in early 2007 for one month. Then back to Yangshuo for a while in mid 2008. I always saw the same managers of Owen College in that area in their Golf Carts. I won't mention names, only to say a young couple, total of 4 B's in their names. The male of the couple has a serious attitude problem and I have every reason to believe that the story told to me was true. Judging by the way he treated me, he was capable of violence.

I believe that your story is true, but that we are talking about different incidents involving people.

Thanks, and don't get too mad!
