I will do India one day, perhaps next year starting August.
But China is much more interesting right now because I can earn money along the way (under the table English teaching).
I'll get a Chiang Jiang, maybe bring it home at the end if it's not too many thousand bucks to ship.

Do any of you have experiences of travelling in China?

I lived in Taiwan for a year so know a tiny bit of the language and get on in Chinese culture well.
This is an interesting site (http://bertie.2-minute-website.com/phy/fred/2005/vacation/0504xinjiang/index.html) that Motu posted way back in 2005.
I'm sure there are heaps of other web resources out there, I am just beginning my search though. Looking for more personal experience comments here though.

Bought it from the guys themselves to support their fundraising / debt repayment, yep that was a good read.

They live in Wellington. Click on the bit that says, "Meet The Author", and go introduce yourself, or turn up to a Classic Bike club ride or meeting.

If it's Chinese greens you're after, Mr Chan's is closer.

There's a Last Hurrah video too. And the Silkriders' book.
