The guys had finally made another decision - stay in 61 for another year. We had previously agreed to shift to nearby apartment. Now we have to forfeit the deposit. Luckily the amount wasn't huge - just rm100. Since the guys plan to bear the cost of the house independently, will need 8 people to share the cost. Our law student housemate has moved back to his hometown. However, we have two new comers recently - a UTAR student who is a friend of ex-Nav in Penang and BK's brother. We might get another new housemate next month but yet to identify. At the mean time, we are enjoying our life in 61, as usual.
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
