Sell

Brought 3 books to Thailand during the last visit there. The aim was to sell em all to the second hand bookstore. Managed to strike a transaction deal for two books. Say good bye to Soul Mountain and Deception Point. Deception Point (a novel by Dan Brown) was brought and sold to the same bookstore - Gecko. There are few bookstores which accept your old books in Chiang Mai (and also in Bangkok). The rate was ok. The rate was better in Chiang Mai though. Tried to sell my Lonely Planet. Quoting price was: B200 (Chiang Mai); B70 (Bangkok). At last, decided to keep it for the next trip though the new edition has been released. Where in Malaysia can I trade my old books? Pay Less Book?

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.
