Tiger travels in Western Australia

After travelling around the east coast of Australia, and visiting NZ, I've been enjoying the West Australian summer. I attended the International Workshop with Tony Kwong in November and watched our largest ever public demonstration of Tai Chi in Australia, complete with lion dances and much media coverage – all in 37 degree celsius heat. I visited the Australian National Centre in Bayswater, and you can see a photo of me checking my email, as well as attending Christmas Tai Chi classes and making new friends at the Centre.

Tiger

Tiger Visits New Zealand

I have visited Rotorua, New Zealand, just in time for an international workshop. I watched all the hard work and fun as Tony Kwong instructed the group for five days in November. I also took part in a festive banquet as we celebrated 20 years of Taoist Tai Chi in New Zealand and 40 years internationally.

On Sunday 3 October I drove with members from Toowoomba to Brisbane and on Wed 5th and Thurs 6th joined Indooroopilly, Brisbane classes. As you can see by the smiles on the faces, they loved having me (and the spirit of all the Taoist Tai Chi Society members I have met so far) with them.

Lok Hup Workshop in Toowoomba

I just completed the first half of Lok Hup in a workshop held on 4 & 5 September in Toowoomba. 17 members had a very enjoyable weekend with great hospitality and venue. Toowoomba Branch purchased their premises early 2009, being the second property that Taoist Tai Chi Society owns in Australia.
I will now be travelling to Sunshine Coast in Queensland for a visit. Not too much sunshine for me as I might get sunburnt.
