“I like Coach Iku…she stayed with me to help me and makes sure that I learn.” Just like that, Buddy, all 5 years old of him, summarized his ski experience at Hanazono as we were having dinner on our final night in Niseko. It’s obvious that this has been on his mind. We enrolled our kids, Buddy and Dana in the children's ski programme at Niseko International Ski School (NISS) in Dec 2019.

Walking with Dinosaur – The Live Experience. A Review.
A Dinosaur Show? “ This is good,” quipped the hubby as he was driving off after the show, his comment couldn’t be more different merely 120 minutes ago. “ A dinosaur show? I hope it’s not cutesy.

Some even gone the extra mile to send me tangible well wishes in the form of flowers, cupcakes, organic food, scented candles, biblical journals etc. My colleagues also threw me a surprise ‘Get-Well-Soon’ lunch the day before my op.
