well i'm sorry to hear you had to come here... but thats how things are when all the labor jobs get moved to here, eventually the rest of us western workers have to follow cause all the damn jobs left north america and europe...

its either that or they bring the retarded chinese labor to north america, and hell, people wouldnt deal with that kind of stupidity around them...

so its go where the work is...

you can get a bike here, though im not sure about where you can and where you cant, but if you want to do the cross china thing, you will need to regsiter the bike or get someone to register the bike for you atleast. You probably dont Neeed a drivers license, but you can generally get that for about 1000$ no requirements other than passport and cash and put your name on a test paper or something.

you can also get a stronger than 250 cc bike, you just have to check import stores, if your in shanghai, there should be some around there. I've been contemplating getting some faster more powerful road and sport bikes myself..
