China Visa

At the current stage, any Malaysian who wishes to travel to China is required to obtain a traveling visa. Because the whole family will be traveling to China this month, the father had to apply visa for each member. There are two options that every Malaysian can choose from: self-apply at the China visa office or apply through travel agency with extra fee. For self-apply option, the visa processing fee will be RM100 per passport holder (for 3 working days processing). In Klang Valley, the China visa office is at Level 5 & 6, Hampshire Place, Jalan Mayang Sari, Kuala Lumpur. Visa application is at level 5. This is where you need to submit the filled form (downloadable from the website) with two passport photos (white background) and passport, with a copy of the info page as well. For children, a copy of birth certificate is required. Also required is copy of return air ticket or accommodation booking in China. You will be surprised to find that the whole process is very fast. When I obtained my queue number from the counter, I was called up immediately. Passed all the documents to the officer, and everything was done within 5 minutes. Then I came back to level 6 after 3 working days, to collect the passport with visa attached. Again, no crowd. After obtained the queue number, I was called up immediately. Proceeded to the counter, made payment, and done. Less than 5 minutes. Not even needed to pay for my car parking fee due to parking less than 15 minutes in the building.

Kaoshiung

I haven't finished recounting my journey in Sweden and Japan; I returned from Taiwan just two weeks ago. Here's a brief account of my recent visit there (although I still have unfinished tale from last year trip to Taiwan). My first stop was Kaoshiung. Spent a day and a half in the town, then I travelled to Tainan for a weekend symposium. I ended my journey in Taipei for another short hike. The weather in Kaohsiung was quite hot, comparatively. It's not my favorite weather for traveling. Perhaps I arrived there too early; had I come a few days later, the temperature would have been cooler. Since day time was hot, it would be wise to visit Pier 2 area during evening or night. Not many people / tourists in this town. It looked quiet.  The next day, I took a ferry to Cijin. The ride was short, about 5 minutes. Cijin Island is a fisherman's village. On the opposite side of the island, there's a beach. It was serene but scorching, to the extent that I couldn't walk m

Hsinhua Forest Station, Tainan

Spent two nights at Hsinhua Forest Station after visiting Kaoshiung, in conjunction with the academic symposium. With an abundance of forest trees and greenery, this site is perfect for hiking and relaxation. Went on a short hike in the morning. Some sections of the forest need better upkeep though. Here are some photos of the area and plants. Photos were shot with iPhone 11

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
