Thanks for your replies, it's really a relief to know you have someone around who can understand you.
I'm still not sure if I have to go to Ningbo for the test or I can do it here, waiting for the guy who is helping me to reply. I already have an international driving license but it's only valid for cars, so I guess I'll have to do the driving as well. And I'm quite worried about that. Do you have to the driving test on your own bike or they normally provide you with it? I don't want to buy one before I get hold of the license though. Is it possible to take it on a variator scooter as I don't have any experience shifting gears so far.
I've chosen gn125 and ybr125 because they are the most reliable and cheap bikes here, at least that's what I think after reading numerous reviews. And it's also easier to register them. Do you think I can buy a decent one easily for 4000-6000RMB? If there's a good alternative I would be more than happy.

I've fixed the video, so now people outside the great firewall can take a look at it. But don't expect much, it was just made for saving memories and doesn't cover the whole trip, however it has some nice shots.

ZMC888, thanks for the compliment but my English is by no means perfect, I'd say just not bad. But it's completely of no use here.

After the situation with the license clears a bit I'll have more questions regarding all the stuff needed for the trip, gear, gps and stuff. Will be digging deeper into the forum for now.

Btw, if someone is desperately struggling without some of the blocked sites I can recommend "tor", though the speed is not always that good it still opens any site and sometimes you can even watch youtube videos without waiting at all.
