Hi AndyCCAA,

I'm pretty much in the same situation as you: I'm German, came to Beijing three months ago to study Chinese (at Beiwai/BFSU - where do you study at?), will stay here till end of June at least, and just passed the driver's license test today. I also don't want to get a motorcycle to ride it around Beijing, but for traveling. So I'd appreciate if you share any further findings here.
