well i have my letter of invitation and some rather horrible looking passport photos for my visa application so this is sure to get more exciting soon ..... honest ..... with pics and everything...

confirmed booking

finally did it today and I'm going a day earlier! Here we go then. Now I just have to start sorting everything out. Accommodation, visas, meetings, transport ....

OK so not quite China yet... more like Wales

actually it's not quite booked yet - will sort it out in the morning. With the tricky return journey time it is hard to fit in the two meetings I need to have.

The start

Just started things off now ... booked my flights to China today! Need to sort out that visa now ....
