About Me
- Louise
- Tales from a self-proclaimed Aussie Nomad in Shanghai. It took me all of my first 20 years to leave Australia, finally ending up in Dili, East Timor in 2000. Since then I haven't wanted to stop traveling. Yet, as simply holidaying doesn't quite scratch the travel-bug's itch, I much prefer to live, work and play in the countries I visit. In my opinion, as insane as it can make you at times, cultural immersion is much more fulfilling than a postcard holiday. Now I am living in Shanghai, with my better half, Philippe, and 20 million others. An artist, teacher and nomad, I embarked on this latest journey in August 2005. And like the best journeys, its final destination is a mystery.

Was it the shot of Matt in the indoor ski-hill in the UAE that spurred this? I admit, I've been dreaming about it as well, as it continues to stay in the 90s (F) here.
Boy howdy, you're purple!
I heard there is such a facility in Dubai as well. This tends to become common in hot places.
Actually we went skiing here back in June but I forgot to post the pics- seeing Matt's video reminded me to do it.
And yes I look like a giant grape- the suits were supplied, and boy were they manky!
Ahh memories...we used to have one of these places in the eastern suburbs of Tokyo...unfortunately it closed down a few years ago. Maybe they moved it to Shanghai along with all the other Japanese companies?!
