Rulezzz of the road

The Boyfriend is going for his motorcycle licence (and may I remind you we’re in China!).
First we wanted to get scooter permits, but we decided that motorcycles are so much cooler and sexier.
The first hurdle was to find out the what/where/how of this adventure and as expected this proofed difficult, much of the information on the internet in contradicting and so was advice given by friends. After The Boyfriends failed first attempt to find a driving school with lots of running around and frustrating dead-ends, while I was in the office happily doing absolutely nothing, the second try went very well. So well even that he enriched his stamp collection and is on his way!
After going through the paper mill, during which he collected at least ten stamps (I’m so jealous!), payments were made and now it’s waiting for the appointment to be confirmed.

Earlier, and here we arrive at the actual purpose of this post, we found the questions for the theoretical test in English (You can find these here)
