Dubai: The local climate is subtropical and arid, with a very high seasonal temperature variation. In summer (March to October) it is very hot, with temperatures around the 40° Celsius (105° Fahrenheit) mark during the day. Winters are much more bearable, with a drop to 10° Celsius (50° Fahrenheit) at times.

In other words, Dubai is the perfect location for a ski resort [WARNING: volume].

I thought it was taller than that.

The international operators -- who have experience with similar facilities in Japan -- say it's going to be an, er, uphill battle introducing Gulf Arabs to skiing, but they should do a brisk business with expats.

you know, this whole protecting your anonymity becomes so very moot--
you're still a symbolic profile if you don't pay out--
does your other account not work or did you forget your password?

I lost the password; the email associated with that account has been closed, so there's no way for me to request a new one.

I originally re-registered in order to participate in this thread. My new username began life as:

"The user formerly known as kimchi"

This was translated to Korean, then back into English using the Google translator. Et viola, my new name was born.

Awww, that's nice, but the Hangul is beautiful and economical to boot! I highly recommend getting it to work if you have the time.

Also, I was always amused at the various ways in which I was addressed, and especially the never-ending confusion of people who saw ??. This is like a nerd version of "Who's on First?"
