Of social networking and video streaming...

Finally I have succumbed to the popular social networking - Facebook. Yes, I may seem a bit too late to join the crowd but I actually have registered it since 2007. Then left it idle and unattended until recently when an old friend started again. It's quite addictive at some point but thank God I still can yield and resist the force....did I (I have also downloaded the mobile version in my phone)?

I'm not alone. I found some Nav members within the group, friend's friends. And able to reconnect other long distance friends as well. It's quite a good tool. Now I don't mean to promote the site. You can choose to register other platform - Myspace, etc. They said there are 30 millions users in Facebook. Hmm.... By applying six degree theory, you are actually connected to Barack Obama within six friends connection.


Then recently, out of sudden, Britain's Got Talent get the attention. A video performance
of a contestant get viewed more than 10 millions in just a week, beating anyone else. Try search this in Youtube: Susan Boyle.

Again, this is no publicity or recommendation. Just to show that how connected we are and how flat the world is.

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.
