What do you think about Java?

We were in Surabaya for a brief stay. Then traveled to Mount Bromo and Kawah Ijen. From the most eastern side of Java we made through to Yogjakarta. Definitely lots of traveling. Met mostly Malaysian and French people. Felt cheated by an Indonesian. Lost a pair of sunglasses. Lost a pack of "sportswear" and sunscreen which were tucked in my backpack (must be stolen by Indonesian worker in Yogja's airport). Don't understand why such theft happened. But then, they have a beautiful place such as Bromo and Kawah Ijen. I would say Mt Bromo was the highlight of the trip. By the way, they have their own 100plus. I felt in love with it. And I snapped almost 500 photos during the trip. Can't believe I did that.

This wedding has some similarity with ours but, by comparison in every detail, each is still distinctly unique.

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

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.

Life, Travel, GRACE
