Oh I've been in China since October, so you could say I'm quite fresh off the boat. There's not too much to tell, I used to be a firefighter until the economy took a nosedive. Now I'm in China and (quite frankly) enjoying a happier, less stressy life.
As to the link on reddit, I want to say it was hiding in /r/TEFL, but it could have been in /r/China too. I didn't reply to it, so I probably couldn't find it again if I tried! Basically, somebody said to check out the cafe for info on teaching abroad and personal questions, then somebody else said "pfft, screw that, go to raoul's". So I clicked, and then chuckled, then read some things, then chuckled some more, then found some rather hilarious things, realized this was a bunch of people I can relate to, and registered.
