Stockholm

Had a chance to visit Sweden in last end-May. The plan was to arrive in Stockholm, then took a train ride to Gothenburg, where I would attend a conference, followed by a bus ride to Oslo, Norway. After a long flight from KL via Bangkok, finally arrived at Arlanda airport on 27 May morning. Immigration clearance took quite a long time though. Then we proceeded to the bus stop to catch the bus to downtown. Our accommodation was just nearby the town bus terminal. After left the luggages there, we immediately went to rendezvous the walking tour in Old Town area. Luckily we managed to catch up with the group. One mistake in this trip, we should have got the Stockholm pass since visiting museums would be costly. Nevertheless, walking around the Old Town was enjoyable and cooling too; I underestimated the temperature there, thought it should be warm in summer like the other parts of Europe.

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.
