Of philosophy and fairy tale

Since he doesn't know much about Chinese history, let alone the background of renown philosopher, this movie didn't bring any wow effect to him. It was interesting at the beginning. Towards the end, Confucius chose to isolate himself and live within his philosophy stand. Boring ending. Maybe that's because he was educated in non-Chinese education system, therefore not able to appreciate the life and essence of a Chinese philosopher.

And so this story is familiar for non-Chinese educated people like him. Bet not, this is not the exact same story as the original bedtime story. It's a continuation of Alice's adventures after she grew up. Though the adventure is ok, and a bit gloomy too, it does provide hope. His Chinese-educated wife did not like it. Probably due to different educational background? That's why two different education system products perceive thing differently.

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.
