It has amazed me at how many people have not sought independent and professional second and third opinions. Some of these have had serious problems later.In any country where you can't read the language, be it another European country or Asia, you have little choice but to rely on one or more lawyers. Respected authorities such as the Asia Wall Street Journal can usually, but not always, be relied upon, as journalists are sometimes incorrect and improperly influenced (as witnessed by letters to the editor which are actually published). The more respected sources you research, the better.
