Looking Ahead....

Personal reflection for year 2005:
- completed my master work (had submitted the final draft of dissertation report before Xmas '05). Expecting to graduate this year (?). Have intention to further study again.....
- had been having quality time with God every week (I would say it's 80% attendance rate). The second half of the year was reading the book of Psalm (expect to complete Jan'06).
- had a good input from bible study (the study of "work"). Now pursuing Danger of Loss.
- acquire property for future home (can't wait to see the project completed).
- got some knowledge and skills from my previous career. Now start new career with new portfolio. Hopefully my contribution will bring satisfaction, benefit to community and glorify God.
- some old friends had left for career advancement. Making new friends (hope to see there's gospel advancement).
- had two wonderful trips (Bario and Vietnam). Looking forward for new trip this year.
- some friends tied up the knot. This year could be my turn?

Kumano Kodo - Day 2

After a good rest, I departed for Hosshimon-oji. The hotel provided free transit to the Hongu area, so I saved some time waiting for the bus. The plan for the day was a 7 km walk from Hosshimon-oji to Oyunohara. Since my next lodging was in the Yunomine Onsen area, I decided to add an extra walk from Oyunohara to Yunomine Onsen, which was about 2.2 km. At Hosshimon-oji, the trail is essentially a connecting route to the Takijiri trail. The previous stamping station was about 800 meters from Hosshimon-oji, so I made a detour to Inohana-oji. That detour added approximately 1.6 km to my journey, taking about 30 minutes or more. From Hosshimon-oji (after detouring via Inohana-oji), I started walking toward Hongu Taisha, which was about a 2.5-hour walk. Along the way, I stopped to rest and take photos. It was quite a leisurely walk. Part of the trail is paved, while the rest consists of forest paths lined with cypress trees (I guess). By the time I reached the town around Hongu Taisha, it w...

Kumano Kodo - Day 1

Just came back from Osaka last week. It was my personal and solo trip of the year. There were only two main focuses of the trip — the Kumano Kodo and the Expo 2025 Osaka. Let me share my experience from the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage. Well, it felt more like a hike in my local hills. I chose a 4-day, 3-night walk with a boat trip included. This route was the simplest, covering only about 7 km of walking (though I added some extra distance for personal exploration). It was Route 3 of the Nakahechi route. By collecting 10 stamps along this route (at designated stamping points), I should be eligible for the Dual Pilgrim certificate if I complete the last 100 km on foot of the Camino de Santiago in Portugal. All my accommodations and packed lunches were arranged through the official Kumano Travel website. Although the booking response was a bit slow, I managed to receive confirmation about 2 or 3 weeks before my flight.  To get to the Kumano area, I took a train (Kuroshio limited express) ...
