Go on, Franky Sin boy, we all believe you now - you must have been China's only and worst-treated foreign victim of its own parochial and greedy employers...

Now you even have to defame Voldemort (remember, you didn't even know how to spell his name in that lengthy thread in which you duelled with him!!!)...

COme on, Franky: do you think your credibility is on the rise?

Ah maybe it is - it can't fall any further anyway!

Roger, your need to be an ahole seems to greatly exceed any possible redeeming qualities you might possess...

As for "defaming" "Voldermort," and the spelling of his name. "Voldermort" is his user name here, certainly not his name. The "spelling" mistake I made was because his email address is "Valdermort," also which is not anything close to his true name.

By the way, Voldermort, Valdermort, Moldy-wart, whatever your user name is, why is it that you use one surname at school and yet, you use another surname on your business cards??? Nothing suspect there!

The guy is a pathological liar, and I'm pleased to be as far away from him as possible (and still be in China). Please find me someone in the teaching profession in the Panzhihua area who has something good to say about him (who is not one of his drinking buddies), and I'll silence myself about this matter.

What can we do to gain a little more silence from you, Roger?

Yes, Roger, you and my hypocritical ex-'colleague,' "Voldermort" deserve each other!

Having lived in Shijiazhuang for a year now, I can honestly say that although this city has many pitfalls (pollution, lack of culture), it makes up for it in several key areas.

There is a lively foreign community here and although that may not be why many of us have come to China, it is a good lifeline to have around when needed. Furthermore, there is enough going on in this city that you can often find stuff to do. It is within easy striking distance of many places of interest in China as a major travel hub. Thus, I would not dismiss the Shiz out of hand.

It's that kind of honest - but not completely negative response that i was hoping for - Thank you so much for making me less nervous about the whole thing.

You are most welcome, JesseM. If you do end up making it to Shijiazhuang, send me a PM and we'll go for a beer.
