SHAOLIN ON MEGEVE
Our Shaolin Master 'Chan Si-Fu' would be in tears to see one of his prized disciples Dora Tang going through her paces at the top of the Megeve ski resort. We took the telecarbine aka cable car with our hosts to the holding area and since we do not ski, we have the luxury to mosey around. Strange as it may seem, it was the natural thing to do when Dora saw the expansive mountain range on the horizon, against the sugar white snow in the foreground. She practised the '8 Movements' so gracefully it attracted a few bewildered looks. I particularly like her shadow in the photograph. 'What is that crazy Japanese woman doing?' they must have asked. Why? It is because Japanese skiers apparently frequent the Alpine slopes in bigger numbers than Chinese travelers, who prefer sightseeing and shopping. 'Beware of the Chinese though', The Pasha said.
