Two days before the official operation of MMC(Main Media Center). At 5:00 pm,August 6th, the Press Workroom in this building has its first visitors: Scotte Richards and Nicola Hargreaves from the Great British delegation.

Newly arrived in China, Scotte and Nicola are not so familiar with the relevant information of Universiade. With the help of the workroom staff, they learn to research on the INFO system equipped in the building. With the INFO system, people can not only have direct access to the games information, but also get a comprehensive introduction to the transport, accommodations, tourism service etc. in Shenzhen.

Knowing they were the first guests in the Press Workroom, Scott Richards and Nicola Hargreaves expressed their surprise with a Chinese sentence: "Zhen De Ma?"(meaning Really in Chinese) The convenient service of the Internet in MMC has deeply impressed these two who have confirmed to the staff of the Press Workshop: "We will come back tomorrow!"
