9. If you are moving to another country in the future would you find it helpful to ask fellow globe-dwellers with experience of that country for practical help with regard to customs, banks, companies, jobs, education etc?

Some people have to know everything before they cross the street. I don't so I learnt on a need to know basis. Learning about my new country was part of the excitment & learning curve.

10. How long time do you think that somebody has to spend in a country, before he or she would be able to offer valuable help to other globe-dwellers? Would you yourself be able to offer useful help in countries other than your native country?

Difficult to give an answer to that one. Of course I would be happy to help anyone else come to China tho my knowledge is not general i.e I have never even visited Beijing.
