Urumqi

Well here are pictures from my 3 weeks in Urumqi China while I was there giving a Data Warehouse class to Markor Furniture. The class went very well and I had an opertoinity to experience a part of China that most westerners will never see. Urumqi is the capital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region which is the largest city in China's western interior with a population of about 2.5 million people. Ürümqi has earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the most remote city from any sea in the world as it is about 1,400 miles (2,500 km) from the nearest coastline.
