Trip 01-06: Last minute change on itinerary

Have received an sms from Air Asia informing that flight from Bangkok to Udon Thani has been cancelled on 6 May 06 afternoon. They have arranged an alternative flight at night (8.40pm, arriving 9.45pm). Unfortunately, this means we (Mic and I) have to spend one nite either in Udon Thani or Nong Khai. Then only the following day we can cross over to Laos. The plan to proceed to Vang Vieng might need to be postponed to second day.

Alternatively, we can take up a similar flight offered by Nokair (www.nokair.com). The fare is however, RM50 more than what we paid for Air Asia. If we don't mind to cross to Laos on the following day, taking up train from Bangkok to Udon Thani will be the best option. The fare is RM60-100 (2nd or 1st class). Train info was gathered from www.seat61.com.

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

Just came back from Japan last week. Went to Tokyo for conference and added side trip to Tateyama Alpine Route and Kanazawa. I must say that Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was great. You can do the trip either from Nagano side or Toyama side. For us, we did it from the Nagano side. Took the Shinkansen to Nagano early morning. Then boarded the express bus to Ogizawa. From there, we boarded the tunnel electric bus to get to Kurobe Dam. From the dam, it was all the way up to the peak (almost). Murodo is the highlight of the route. This is the place where you get to see snow covered peak and lake. In spring, there's snow wall nearby Murodo station. From Murodo, we descended to Bijodaira and Tateyama Station to catch the local train back to Toyama. The fare for the entire route is not cheap, but it's worth it. A hike from Bijodaira to Murodo should be interesting, which can be considered in future. View from the tunnel electric bus, onward to Kurobe Dam Arrived at Kurobe Dam View of t...

MyVi

Had got my new MyVi last Friday. Initial consumption was a litre for a 10-km drive. Well, it seems quite costly but this is still early to judge as the engine needs up to 5,000km drive to get optimize (that's what people tell me). Enjoy driving it.
