Wuxi China Expats can now go ice-fishing on Lake Taihu

Thanks to the cold weather and a little chemical skulduggery, Wuxi China Expats can now go ice-fishing on Lake Taihu.

Long-time Wuxi Expat Frank Zamboni, a co-owner of a joint-venture trading company in the Wuxi New District, has taken the profits from his business to accomplish a long-time personal dream:  to make the surface of Lake Taihu an ice-rink.  Thanks to the latest synthetic ice making technology purchased by Zamboni, the fact that the temperature in Wuxi isn't cold enough for Taihu to freeze over doesn't matter.  Wuxi Expats can now go skating on Taihu even in the summer.

But more importantly to Zamboni, he can now engage in his second great passion ice-fishing which he says is a dream to do on Taihu.  "Unlike in Canada where you can catch some foot long fish in Winter, here in the WCE, ice-fisherman can reel in tuna, sSharks, giant lake bass, and baby krakens" says Zamboni.  "Of course, for such fish, I need a shack that is as big as a Aircraft Hangar!"
