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.

Last day in Sendai

After spending five days in Sendai, my visit here has finally come to an end. On my last day, I took a tour of the Kirin Beer Factory. I must say that the tour was quite informative—slightly better than the one I had at a beer factory in Malaysia. Visitors were able to touch, smell, and taste during the tour. We were served at least three different types of Kirin beer for tasting. Although the tour was short, it was uplifting. I had lunch at their restaurant, which was probably my most expensive meal during this trip to Sendai. In the afternoon, I took an Uber to Arahama Elementary School, which has now been turned into a museum. It is located on the eastern side of Sendai, an area that was hit by the tsunami following the earthquake on March 11, 2011. On that day, after the quake, the schoolchildren were evacuated to the rooftop of the building. About 27 hours later, they were all rescued. The school now exhibits the impact of the tsunami, the conditions on that day, and the aftermath...

Kumano Kodo - Day 2

After a good rest, I departed for Hosshimon-oji. The hotel provided free transit to the Hongu area, so I saved some time waiting for the bus. The plan for the day was a 7 km walk from Hosshimon-oji to Oyunohara. Since my next lodging was in the Yunomine Onsen area, I decided to add an extra walk from Oyunohara to Yunomine Onsen, which was about 2.2 km. At Hosshimon-oji, the trail is essentially a connecting route to the Takijiri trail. The previous stamping station was about 800 meters from Hosshimon-oji, so I made a detour to Inohana-oji. That detour added approximately 1.6 km to my journey, taking about 30 minutes or more. From Hosshimon-oji (after detouring via Inohana-oji), I started walking toward Hongu Taisha, which was about a 2.5-hour walk. Along the way, I stopped to rest and take photos. It was quite a leisurely walk. Part of the trail is paved, while the rest consists of forest paths lined with cypress trees (I guess). By the time I reached the town around Hongu Taisha, it w...
