Going from a three-way back to separate? I'm not sure I understood the description of the recent starting point accurately.
The books give two ways of wiring three-way switches, the way I learned in grade school and another strange one, which I've found actually used in professional wiring; if you were expecting the simple one, that may be what's confusing things. (The alternative way doesn't work with X-10 three-way switches, so I had to convert it to the normal wiring for three-ways).
Perhaps the Asian in question could be compelled to explain what he'd done?
