Back home

We went back home to Sabah last weekend. Just for some relaxation but ended up babysat her since she's not feeling well throughout the weekend. What's new in Sandakan? A new road connecting the airport to the town. They called it Northern Ring Road. The truth is, it's not ready yet. Missing street lamps and some sign boards. They said that project is overdue. Suppose to be completed last year (I'm not sure how true it is). Mix feeling: happy because there's new development; sad because it's still another long delayed project.

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.
