These are questions from those preparing for or thinking about serving in Peace Corps China, answered by current or returned volunteers.

We try to answer questions that are posed here in comments, but if you do not receive satisfactory answer there are a couple other places you might try cross-posting your questions to: Peace Corps China Facebook Group, PCChina Yahoo! Group, and or send a Twitter message @Chinkerfly and it will be passed along to the China twitterverse.

Disclaimer: Keep in mind that (1) every volunteer here has different experiences from the next, and (2) China is constantly changing, so make sure to note when the advice was written–some dates back as far as 2002 and may possibly be outdated.
