Dear Graham,

Hot damn! What wonderful news. Congratulations. Maybe the new 18th congress leadership are reformers after all!

Only one wish: How about threading today's post in your earlier Hip Hip Hooray thread, or better yet, with the big sticky Getting a Chinese Motorcycle License thread, rather than starting a new one. A lot more people will see it, and benefit from it, that way.

Congrats again. Now, do you have a bike yet? Warm enough to ride?

cheers
