About the boxes, this is also what my mechanic told me, that's why he suggested the side bags instead.

What about "Du's workshop is in Yongkang in south-central Zhejiang" and meeting there? I didn't get it, what is this?

I'll be as prepared as I can be for this trip I guess, of course I'm still in the process of arranging everything, I still have another 2.5 month.

MJH=/ I'll be leaving on the night of April 28th / 29th, and i won't be in Wulumuqi before the 6th of May. The weather there will be a way better than now.
Of course i won't be going in either February or March.
