Hello James,

First of all, welcome to the forum ...

I'll try to be an answering machine then

For your motocycle questions, i'll send you asap the email of a french guy who is part of a cycle group in Changshu, and rides around Jiangsu province .... He will give you the necessary info ...

Americans around : yes, some in the University, some in some private schools, some in some companies ... Not sure about the exact number, but I know some are already one the forum ...

For teaching : Wally, from Australia, is the man in town, if you want to teach or find some teaching classes or sessions on the weekends, he can explain it all to you ...

Keep in touch,

Matthieu
