The social network

This is a movie about Facebook. Don't expect to see love story or how-to-find-your-love type of movie. In fact, it tells the story behind the creation of Facebook. It was told that Facebook was created out of dissatisfaction and anger of Mark (the founder) after a breakup. Subsequently, he faced lawsuits from the creation of Facebook - illegal hacking of university's system, intellectual property, ownership of the corporation.

Personally, the narration of the movie is quite fresh. Thanks to director David Fincher (he directed the previous Benjamin Button and Fight Club). At the end of the day, maybe we should emulate the creator passion and determination of doing what he thinks is right and then perfect it. And fight for what is yours.

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
