MEDC World Tour : Day 21, Beijing (June 23rd) - MEDC China Day 1

Posted Monday, June 27, 2005 4:21 PM by jamespr
I started Day 21 a little misty eyed - figuratively speaking. After all, MEDC China was the last MEDC event for 2005. At this stage, I'd been working on the events for nearly 9 months so they're very much a part of life and it seemed a little strange Read More...

Posted Tuesday, June 21, 2005 9:49 AM by jamespr
