South Korea 2016

Was in Seoul and Busan earlier this month. Having been to Seoul two years ago, this would be a good time to visit and revisit some of the places since I was on solo. Stayed in Seoul for five days, then traveled to Busan via train and stayed there for three nights. Busan is a dynamic city. I personally enjoyed the beach area more than the city center. The only downside throughout my stay in South Korea this time was the regular rain. I didn't get any good photos under sunny day. Most of them were either rainy or cloudy. Perhaps better luck in next trip. Talking about photos, I managed to get a free rental of Samsung Galaxy Note 5 phone from SK Telecom. Well, I must say the phone has a superb camera which put my iPhone 5s to shame. I can actually ditch away my DSLR too. But for some reasons, I enjoy photographing landscape using DSLR.

View from the train as I traveled from Incheon airport to Seoul city. As the window glass was tinted, you got a bluish view. Photo taken with Galaxy Note 5.

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...

Trip 01-06: Day 8-9 (The end)

Day 8-9 (13-14 May) We proceed to Thailand in the morning. The immigration process was the easiest. We crossed the river by boat and reached Chiang Khong (the border town of Thailand). Then a mini van to Chiang Mai. Arrived in Chiang Mai about 4pm. Looked for a cheap room and then had an excursion around the town. The next day we will depart and back to M'sia. It has been a pleasant trip for the whole week. Laos is a beautiful and peaceful country with abundant of unspoiled forest and mountains. Now we have to get back to our real life. End of the trip.
