A thought on The Last Jedi

Having watched the new Star Wars movie on the sneak preview showing, I must say the movie was very well done. Although a lot of Star Wars fans have different opinion and comments, I thought the way the movie goes is to pave a new trend for the future trilogy. You see, any particular character can't stay for so long, thus, most of the important characters are being slowly written off from the current trilogy. But the essence of life is worth mentioning: hope, the good, mentorship. One important truth (in my opinion) that is presented is the economy of war. You see, this is the current fact of our lives. Someone will take advantage on any circumstances, especially during conflict or war. Selling weapons and military stuff is just a part of a bigger economy. The Last Jedi has truly brought out the very nature of human (and other galactic species?). It all lies on the choices available.

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.
