Urumqi Fair

This was the website for the 1998 Urumqi Fair held in Xinjiang, China.
Content is from the site's 1998 archived page to be perused for historical purposes only.

Did you know:
Since 1992 the Urumqi Fair, formerly known as the Urumqi Foreign Economic Relations and Trade Fair, has been held annually. Its purpose is to promote trading and market exploration in Northwestern China with foreign countries located mainly in Central Asia. The last fair was held in 2010. The event is now known as the China-Eurasia Expo and has become the leading trade platform in the region, extending its trading reach beyond for Central and South Asia to the entire Asia and Europe.

When I was working for Archer Daniels Midland Company, the world's largest agricultural processor of soybeans, corn, wheat & cocoa, I attended several of the Urumqi Fairs including the 1998 show. But that was years ago. I am now working for an online casino affiliate that features a number of well respected online casinos. If you are into real money slots I suggest you check out Online-Casino-Party.co. I was surprised but I really enjoy playing slots online after working all day with clients. Sometimes I play with real money, and other times when I want to check out a new slot game I will just play the free version with "free" cash. Boy is it fun to make crazy bets knowing you won't lose and money. Of course if you win big on a free game you can't collect your money either.
I admit I flailed around for awhile after I left Archer Daniels Midland Company, but I now recognize that being involved in the designing and maintaining websites is really my passion. Sometimes the road to your true calling takes you the long way around. But I have finally arrived.
