To slander Raoul Duke is personally offensive to me. During the years I was in China, Raoul Duke (and his website) offered great information, advice, and commaraderie for me -- and countless other FTs in China. He has saved amny a foreigner from various disasters and offered a community of supporters to those who seek understanding and experiential wisdom.

I'll take the well-educated and informed opinion of Raoul Duke any day over most posters on the board.

I highly encouarage readers to visit website and meet lots of wonderful fellow expats.
