New Office

Dragon Exepeditions have just moved upstairs and now have a much larger office. Still a lot of decorating and unpacking to do, but feel free to drop by and see our new space. We have moved about 80m from the old office, of which about 50m is directly up. New address is 3-2-1708, still in Luofu Shijia. Our phone number remains unchanged.
