Bicycle for Chinese student

Posted on June 4, 2012 by Muravej

Today is Monday. In the morning, I met the Chinese student in our institute. He was doing OK during the weekend. We started talking in French.

We used to make a lot of mopeds in Japan, too, but they are not manufactured any more. When I arrived in Kofu four years ago, I saw one moped in a Vespa shop.  The moped, Piaggio Ciao,  looked very nice, and I bought it.  It … Continue reading →
