Preparations are zooming ahead now, it looks like I may be in China for a month in total! First of all visiting some students and staff at a few universities in Chongqing, then attending  Wales Week with colleagues from other Welsh institutions on the 1st and 2nd March at the Harbour Plaza  . After that I'm moving on to Changsha and Zhuzhou City.  If plans go well I may take some annual leave and fly my family out for 10 days after my work has finished.  My son and wife will love China!
