The Tongariro Alpine Crossing and summiting Mt Doom (aka Mt Ngauruhoe)
With my Christmas vacations in their twilight and nearing the end of its active and adventurous life, I found myself with one week remaining before I would return to work.

I had been thinking about walking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing for years and I thought now could be a good time.

Parlez-vous français ?
Le français, comme la plupart des autres langues, connaît des variations régionales, plus ou moins marquées selon les régions comparées. Un Marseillais ne parlera pas comme un Québécois, ni un Suisse comme un Lillois.

Tiger Mom or Teddy Mom
After the usual Saturday piano lesson, I asked my son’s piano teacher whether Martin, now 8-years-old, needed more time practicing as he is moving on to Sonata Level 6.
