Just a stopover in Surabaya


It was unfortunate that our flight to Surabaya was delayed more than 2 hours. The flight was supposed to take off at 4.50pm. Ended up leaving LCCT about 7pm. Even the next flight to the same destination has left. We're being last. Talking about on time schedule....

Since we arrived in Surabaya quite late, so there was not much option to scout for cheap accommodation. We ended up in a 3-star hotel with room rate about 370,000 rupiah (about rm130). That was the most expensive and luxurious stay we ever had during the trip.



Was glad we only stopped for one night in Surabaya. We would be wondering what to do had we stayed for another day as there was nothing interesting to see there. In fact, you can totally skip that town and directly head to your next destination. During the morning stroll around the neighborhood, most shops were either vacant or not yet opened. Some even turned into graffiti display wall. Very artful.

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.
