City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
or: Third time lucky
Goodreads || The Book Depository
Synopsis: To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters – never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight. As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City – whatever the cost?
If you remember last year, I became a late fan of the Mortal Instruments series. I was strongly of the opinion when I read the second book- The City of Ashes– that Clare's writing had, and would, get better over the course of the series. But I wasn't expecting the dramatic leap of skill that occurred between The City of Ashes and this book; the City of Glass. Clare brought her best work to the table, and really stunned me with her clever one liners, and her greatly improved character development and plot twists.
So much happened in this book that I really don't know where to begin talking about it. This book is immensely dense, with important character development or plot devices occurring every few pages. Clare managed to jam three books of content into this one book alone. At times it was slightly overwhelming, but someone has taken the time- either Clare or a SWAT team of copy editors (I'm inclined to believe the latter)- to really put in some elbow grease and polish this book up. It didn't feel like the frenetic froth of the similar situation in Fire Study by Maria V Snyder, rather it felt a lot more restrained and mindful, as if Clare deliberately and sat down with a thick compendium of a plan and placed everything carefully.
That being said, the one character who should have developed the most, didn't. At all. Clary- ever infuriating Clary- seemed to be left behind by Clare's intense character development work. Jace was lovingly fleshed out, as was Simon and Isabelle. Alec shocked me with the almost 360 flip around his character did. We met and saw the development of several key, important, new characters, and we bloody finally got to meet Jocelyn Fray. Thank Christ, I thought she'd never wake up.
Oh whoops I've just divulged a mammoth spoiler. SORRY
And while yes, some of the plot twists did feel kind of like they were pushing the realms of believable story telling, they were all so gripping I really struggled to care much. This book had me ensnared from about 2 quarter, and I furiously read the last half of the book over a few days. The end half of the book takes place within 4 Alacante (That's totally not a spoiler it's in the title of the book and in the blurb) days and nights and feels like a bit of a pipe dream. Clare successfully executes enough character development in the first 5 chapters for all major characters that you are truly desperate to find out what happens to them through the rest of the book.
Thankfully, Clare finally drops the noxious and utterly shudder inducing 'incest' troupe by the end of the book. But you still need to grimace through 80% of this book before your theories from the last two books are proven correct. It's a slug but the breath of fresh air at the end is a welcome relief from something that may have made me abandon the series. That being said, I'm very interested to see what troupes Clare will apply to Jace and Clary in the next books of the series.
Clare manages to slip in an incredible amount of world building around the main plot line and takes the time in this book to explain the world as she goes- something she tended to forget to do for her readers in the first two books. This third book makes a lot of earlier pieces of information and plot points in the first two books make sense, something which is somewhat of a disappointment as Clare shouldn't make her audience wait that long for explanation. As I did touch on earlier, it seems as if she has learned from this mistake in this book however, which makes me hope future books may be as forthcoming as this one.
Without spoiling this book, i'm reluctant to go into any further detail as this book needs to be read as spoiler free as possible.
When the opportunity next arises, I'm looking forward into diving into book number four but Clare wrapped up the end of this book so nicely i'm not in much of a hurry to pick up the illusive book 4 (I honestly haven't seen it anywhere online or in bookstores! Where the devil is it?). Books have and will have preference over this series, because, as good as this book was, it didn't knock my socks off. Or should I say, It didn't knock my punk rock stilettos off (sorry Isabelle but heals and long dresses are not practical for fighting no matter how bad ass you are. Own up to it girl. We can see through this smoke screen)

The details of each character portrayed in Out of Captivity create a unique story that is a must reading for patriotic Latter-day Saints.

Labyrinth made of Dandelions. Had to rush to complete the lines before the flowers started to curl up. Brilliant spring day, a bit too breezy...the lines kept shifting slightly in the waving grass. Many migrating bird species seemed to have arrived today on the warm southerly winds. My fingers were stained bright yellow-orange afterwards...I was afraid I might contaminate the camera !

This made my day
The database does not include information about injuries, fatalities, damages, etc., and appears to only include vehicle/vehicle interactions, not vehicle/pedestrian.
Here's the data for Roxboro St.
If you don't want to follow the link, here's some tidbits.
Club & Roxboro - 116
I-85 & Roxboro - 93
I-85 & Avondale - 63
Avondale & Foushee - 63
Avondale & Roxboro - 61
Roxboro & Roxboro - 24 (Yeah, i don't know where that is either.)
Avondale & Markham - 24
Markham & Roxboro - 20
I-85B & Roxboro - 17
I-85B & Avondale - 15
Avondale & Camden - 13
Avondale & Avondale - 10
If you're keeping track, that's a total of 519 reported motor vehicle accidents over a 3 year period, just in this section of the map. I chose it not only because i live pretty much in the middle of this mess, but because, around 4 or 5 years ago, NCDOT finished their "improvements" of the I-85 corridor, including "upgrades" to Roxboro and Avondale. (If you head further north up Roxboro, say as far as Infinity, add a couple of hundred more wrecks to the list at various intersections.) It's also the part of the city where i spend the most time on foot, with the least feeling of safety. Speed limits of 35 mph, already too high for residential & retail streets, are routinely ignored. 80th percentile speeds are well above 40, and speeds over 50 were clocked every hour of every day when we've had the radar counter out. A high speed of over 90 was recorded on Avondale near Camden a couple of years ago.
To put things in perspective, 3 of the top 4 intersections for wrecks in Durham County are on Roxboro St., and all 5 of the I-85 interchanges in town (Avondale, Roxboro, Duke, Geuss & Hillandale) make the top 20. Only 3 of the I-40 interchanges are in the top 20, despite I-40 carrying much more traffic than I-85, although I-40 and Fayetteville is the worst intersection in Durham in absolute numbers. I'd like to see the traffic volume counts for that intersection (138 collisions) compared to Club and Roxboro with 116 collisions. I suspect Fayetteville at 1-40 carries twice as many vehicles per day as Roxboro at Club/Foushee/I-85.
I wonder which of our city leaders has looked at the article, and what, if any, policy changes might come from this data? Better enforcement of traffic laws, perhaps? Some transit decisions to reduce the volume of traffic along the length of Roxboro to make it safer and more pedestrian friendly? Or just a shoulder shrug, same old same old, and hope for the best?
* I'm not a big fan of the term "accident" when it comes to motor vehicle collisions. Most of the time, there's something preventable that took place, whether it's speeding, driving while distracted, driving while impaired, or general stupidity behind the wheel of a 3000 pound machine moving at 40 mph or faster.

Why does the Land of the Free imprison more of its population than any other nation? We're not in good company at the top of that list. Most of our peers are well below us, both in rank and in proportion. The UK has nearly six times fewer inmates by proportion. On the other hand, the world's largest democracy India supposedly only has 30 out of each 100,000 of its citizens in prison.
Just think about possible answers to that question.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's official, I'm on a greens bender. I've had a rough couple of weeks over here and for me, when the going gets tough, I like to treat my body better than ever. Yes, I'll admit, there are times when nothin' says lovin' like a brownie (or a bag o' Cheetos, or a candy bar, or a handful of jelly beans - you are reading a woman who ate Wonder Bread slathered with Hellman's mayo as a kid, OK?), but those things make me feel cruddy if I eat too many of them. And like I said, I'm feeling funky already. Greens and and other healthful whole foods make my body feel like it's humming a happy tune. I kid you not.
Monday night, I did up some spinach in an unconventional, delicious, yet super quick, virtually no-chopping-required way. Thought you might want to know!
Spinach With Raisins and Pine Nuts9 oz. Bag of pre-washed spinach (not baby spinach, it's too delicate) 4 T. Organic raisins 2 T. Extra-virgin olive oil 3 Scallions, finely chopped 3 T. Pine nuts, toasted Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Put the raisins in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Leave to stand for about 10 minutes until they're plumped up, then drain.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat, then lower the heat further and add the scallions. Saute for about 5 minutes, or until soft, then add the spinach (you'll have to add some, stir it up a bit to wilt, then add the rest). Once your spinach is wilting, toss in the raisins. Finish cooking your spinach (the whole process will take under 5 minutes - you don't want to over-cook your spinach or it'll be slimy), and then add the pine nuts and salt and pepper to taste. Makes 4 small side-dish servings, can easily be doubled and played with according to your tastes.

Siamese P1907 bayonet scabbard Description
Steel scabbard only, for the Siamese "Wild Tiger Corps" bayonets. Very researchable. These all steel scabbards were Siamese manufactured to replace the leather scabbards which quickly rotted away on the Siamese Type 62 (1919) bayonets. The scabbard is crudely folded steel, brazed to the original steel mounts. Very uncommon and the only correct scabbard for this bayonet.

How to plan a free & easy trip to Japan?
- Tuesday, February 18, 2014
- By wenwen
- 56 Comments
Japan is a popular holiday destination among tourists. Traveling to Japan without a guided tour can be challenging to some people. Everything are in Japanese and not many of them can speak English. However, it is really not a problem at all traveling to Japan without a tour guide, in fact this way is even better and more interesting. I'm not an expert but I would like to share my experience with you (mainly in Tokyo) and I hope my experience can help some of you.
Flying into Japan
I'm a big fan of budget airline. It's much cheaper than most airlines that fly between Japan and Singapore. If you book it during promotion period, you can find cheap ticket price as low as SGD400. Scoot operates flight between Singapore and Japan with a stop over at Taipei. Jetstar Airways has flights between Singapore and Tokyo with a stop over at Taipei and Osaka. Air Asia flies between Singapore and Tokyo with a stop over at Kuala Lumpur. If you are lucky enough, you can also grab cheap ticket at about SGD500 - 600 during Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines air ticket sales.
How many days in Japan?
It really depends. It can be 7 days, 14 days or 21 days. As I can't afford to take too many days off from work, I usually plan 7 - 9 days including weekend. Some local markets, festivals or events will be held only during weekend, you should include at least 1 weekend in your itinerary. From my experience, 7 - 8 days trip is good enough to explore Tokyo, including area outside of Tokyo like Nikko, Hakone and Mt. Fuji. If you want to include Kyoto/ Osaka in your itinerary, you probably need another 5 days.
For example, you can plan a 7-day itinerary in Tokyo like this
1 day in Nikko
1 day in Hakone/ Mt. Fuji
1 day in Disneyland/ Disney Sea
1 day in Shinjuku/ Shibuya/ Harajuku
1 day in Tokyo station/ Ginza/ Tsukiji market/ Tokyo Tower
1 day in Asakusa temple/ Tokyo Skytree/ Ueno Ameyoko market
1 day in Akihabara
Usually before I book hotel, I will try to get a copy of subway map from internet, circle all the attractions which I'm going to visit and plan accordingly.
See the subway map below. All the red arrows point out the main attractions in Tokyo city. Most attractions can be accessed via Ginza Line, Asakusa Line and Hibiya Line. I like to stay at hotel near Ningyocho subway station (A14 on Asakusa Line, H13 on Hibiya Line). I used to stay at Hotel Horidome Villa. There is also direct train service operating between Ningyocho station and Narita Airport or Haneda Airport. (Click here for more information) What an awesome location! One thing I don't like about this station is, not many elevators available from platform to ground floor and many stairs. This gonna be a pain if you carry big luggage.
Download the pdf metro map here.
Transport in Tokyo
Buy a SUICA card, it's easier than you buy the train ticket by cash. It works like ezlink card. If you plan to travel from Narita airport to Tokyo town e.g Shijuku by NEX (Narita Express), you can consider to get NEX & SUICA package (1 way ¥3500 yen, round trip ¥5500). This package consists of 1 way express train ticket (return express train ticket if you opt for the round trip package) from Narita to Tokyo and SUICA card with value of ¥2000 (¥1500 travel value and ¥500 refundable deposit).
Fixed taxi fare chart from Narita.
[Update 3rd Apr 2014]
Suica & NEX package had been discontinued on 1st Apr 2014. Suica card can still be purchased from Narita Airport. NEX ticket is replaced by NEX Tokyo Direct and is now at ¥1500. See here.
I don't recommend to get tourist pass, they are usually more expensive than what you would use. Even if you can work out an itinerary that allow you to fully utilize the pass, you will only save a small amount. It is better to go with Suica or Pasmo for convenience and flexibility. Train fare starts from 130 and can go up to 400 one way. Click 1 day open ticket by Tokyo Metro and JR Tokyo Tour Ticket to find out more. Check out Tokyo Metro route planner and fare calculator here. Hyperdia, Jorudan, JR map and Tokyo subway map can also help you to plan your journey better. You can find the train (including Shinkansen) schedule, train number, transfer station and even platform number from Hyperdia. If Shinkansen (high speed bullet train) is required during your trip, you may want to consider JR pass. Click here and my post to find out more about JR pass. I got mine from Nippon Travel Agency website.
How much budget should you set?

Thank you very much Iva, very helpful indeed. I am going to be in Tokyo just for 4 days, and use of the days to visit Mount Fuji/Lake Kawaguichi. So I do not need the JR Pass and the Suica will do nicely? Can I just buy the Suica card when I arrive at Haneda Airport? I will be staying in Asakusa. Intend to visit Tsukiji, Harajuku, Sensoji, Skytree in one day. Roughly how much should I use for the Suica card? First time travelling F&E to Tokyo. Thanks.ReplyDelete

You don't need JR pass. JR Pass won't pay off for traveling within Tokyo only. A 7 day JR pass can cost at least SGD350. SUICA card can be purchased from JR East station and PASMO card from subway station. They both work interchangeably across all public transport lines except Shinkansen. They both work like our ezLink card. These cards offer convenience but no fare discounts. You may want to consider tourist pass, however in my opinion, we are not able to fully utilize it unless we travel a lot. Check out Tokyo Metro route planner and fare calculator or hyperdia.
Other than Shinkansen, you can also take bus from Shinjuku bus terminal to Mount Fuji. It's cheaper than taking Shinkansen.
Would it be too rush to do Tsukiji, Harajuku, Sensoji, Skytree all together in one day? I like to visit market as that's the place to get closer with local. Tsukiji itself probably can take you 3-4 hours and there's also another small market at Sensoji Temple. Also, Sunday is the best day to visit Harajuku for scenes of cosplay.
Hope these help!

Many thanks for quick response and helpful advice. I can probably do Sensoji and Skytree on the Friday when I arrive around noon, as I will be staying around the area (Asakusa). Then Fuji-san on the Saturday, and the fish market and Harajuku on the Sunday as you advised. So from airport (Haneda), I will just buy the normal ticket from the ticket machine (Keiyu line) to Asakusa? Do you mean I can Only get the Suica card from JR East Station and not any other station? Is the concept something like our MRT, i.e. from the Keiyu line, I can walk to the JR East Station like changing from red to circle line, or something like that?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, you are right, just buy the train ticket from Haneda airport. There are direct trains run between Asakusa and Haneda but not every train, probably one out of every 3 - 4 trains (I'm not too sure). You gotta ask the train station staff. They will help you.Delete
SUICA is issued by JR East. Pasmo is issued by the association of subway and private railway companies in Kanto region around Tokyo.SUICA and Pasmo can be used interchangeably in Kanto region. So it doesn't matter which to buy as long as you stay within Tokyo. You can purchase either one from their respective issuers' station ticket counter, just like how you first purchase your ezLink card.

Different train operators have their own different station entrances, meaning you cannot just switch line between operators within the station, you have to exit and enter another one. Also, same station name by different operators may not locate at the same place. For example, JR Ueno station and subway Ueno station are located at different place.

OK Thank you . I have decided to miss Harajuku, and do Tsukiji + Yanaka on the Saturday, then Fuji-san on Sunday.ReplyDelete
Hi, may I know which is the place need JR pass pls. Do you think is a must to purchase JR pass. As for Mt Fuji and Disney, how to I get there. Do you know how much is the fee for Disney.ReplyDelete
JR pass is meant for long distance train travel. It provides you convenience and savings if you travel a lot by JR train in japan. It depends on your travel itinerary. Generally if you fly in & out from Narita and travel from Tokyo to Kyoto 2 ways, JR pass will be good for you. But JR pass won't pay you off if you stay within Tokyo only. You can check train fare here www.hyperdia.comReplyDelete

Thank you for posting this blog. I saw it on Tripadvisor. I am flying into Narita airport this Tuesday am getting overwhelmed with all the info. I have a question on your comment:ReplyDelete
Update 3rd Apr 2014: Suica & NEX package had been discontinued on 1st Apr 2014. Suica card can still be purchased from Narita Airport. NEX ticket is replaced by NEX Tokyo Direct and is now at ¥1500. See here.
So if i go to the ticket booth i can just ask for the NEX Tokyo Direct and it will only be 1500 yen to get to Shibuya? Do i need to ask for the discount or its automatically applied? Will i still have assigned seating? I am staying at the Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku in Shibuya and would like the fastest route to get there.
I will be only be staying in Tokyo. Is the Suica card the best option? How does it work? Do I just purchase a certain dollar amount and it deducts each time i ride it?
Finally, i am flying out of Haneda airport at 12:30am. What is the fastest and easiest transportation to get there as i would hate to miss my flight? I get flustered very easily if i have to change trains or may be late getting lost. Would you recommend a taxi or is train better for this? How long does it take to get to Haneda from Shibuya?Replies
Yes, just get your ticket from JR sales office in Narita airport and show them your passport.Delete
Are you from Singapore? Suica works like EzLink card in Singapore. It's a prepaid e-card which you can load money in and use on subway, JR trains in Tokyo.
You can check train schedule and route information from www.hyperdia.com. It will show you how you can get to Haneda airport from Shibuya station. If not, you can ask any of the staff on Shibuya station and they can guide you. There are some direct train service to Haneda but not shown on hyperdia.com so it will be good if you seek help from them. Taxi ride can be expensive. Haneda is much nearer than Narita, it probably takes you about 30 mins.

Looks like a 7 day JR pass (¥ 29,110) will save you quite a lot of money. You should activate it on the day when you go Takayama from Tokyo.
You can visit Mt Fuji during winter time and visibility of the mountain is best in the early morning 9am. Depending on snow conditions, the road to the 5th station might be fully open in January. If not, it is often open as far as the 3rd station. However, there are no buses there. You would have to get your own transport or an expensive taxi. Or the one-day guided bus tour from Tokyo, which also goes up that road if possible:

Hyperdia.com is a very useful website to check train schedule, train fare and train information. The journey to Takayama requires quite a bit of traveling and transfers by trains. Here's an outline of the journey there: Narita - Shinagawa - Nagoya - Takayama. It took us 6 hours from Narita airport to Takayama, 12pm to 6pm. There are direct bus departs from Tokyo Shinjuku, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka daily. We transferred at Shinagawa instead of Tokyo station as it's so much easier compare to transferring at Tokyo station. http://gutereise09.blogspot.sg/2008/07/transfer-from-narita-express-to.html - instruction transferring at Shinagawa station.Delete
If you can travel back to Tokyo within the 1st 7 days, 7 day JR pass will be good for you. If not, you can still stick to your itinerary and calculate how much is your travel cost in the 1st 7 days as 14 days is definitely too much for you. JR East does not cover traveling between Tokyo and Kyoto, Osaka. It is valid to travel on all of JR East's railway lines connecting Tokyo with northeastern Honshu, including Akita, Sendai, Nagano, Nikko.
Personally I'm not really into temple, therefore I only spent 2 days in Kyoto. In fact, we feel kinda too much of temple on 2nd day. Maybe you can shift a few days to visit Hakone / Mt Fuji and spend a night in one of the ryokan there. There is an instant noodle museum in Yokohama, you can make your own instant noodle! You can also visit Universal Studio in Osaka.
Hope these help!

Great that you managed to book a night at Kanja. Last time when I stayed it was 9,500 yen per pax half board, I can't remember if 9,500 yen include tax.Delete
Day trip to Osaka may take you almost a day and journey from Kyoto to Tokyo is about 3 hours, you may want to consider to travel back to Tokyo on day 7 instead, you can still use your JR pass to Tokyo on day 7.
I usually like to book hotel as soon as the air ticket is confirmed. The earlier the better rate you can get. Read the hotel cancellation policy before you book. As for JR pass, you can only purchase it maximum 3 months in advanced. I got mine from http://nta.sg/ntasin/
I like to stay at hotel near Ningyocho subway station (A14 on Asakusa Line, H13 on Hibiya Line). I used to stay at Hotel Horidome Villa. There is also direct train service operating between Ningyocho station and Narita Airport or Haneda Airport.
From Tokyo to Nikko with JR pass, you have to pay a supplement on the direct trains to Nikko. You can do so when making the mandatory seat reservations at the ticket counter. Alternatively, you could travel by shinkansen via Utsunomiya, which would be completely covered. If you have a JR East Pass, the entire trip is covered. But with JR pass, it's still cheaper than any other pass. Access to Nikko - http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3805.html
JR pass doesn't cover the whole trip to Hakone, only as far as Odawara station. Access to Hakone - http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5206.html
Hope these help!
Dear Iva, Thanks again for helping us with our itinerary.ReplyDelete
We will stay one additional night at Kyoto as suggested and
returning back to Tokyo on Day 7.We will be be going to
Hakone on Day 8 .What Pass should we buy for the entire trip at
Narita Aitport?What Pass must we buy at Hakone and Nikko?
We will be buying a 7 day JRPass. Thanks.
Since you gonna activate JR pass on the first day when you arrive Narita, day 1 from Narita will be covered by JR pass. As for the return trip to Narita on the last day, I think you can just purchase the ticket from any subway station (those station which offer direct train service to Narita) ticket machine. There is direct train service from Ningyocho subway station (A14 on Asakusa Line, H13 on Hibiya Line) to Narita Airport.ReplyDelete
Tobu offers various passes from Tokyo to Nikko -
Hakone free pass - http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2358_008.html
If you want to visit Mt. Fuji, you can also consider this Fuji Hakone pass -
Thanks Iva again for you quick reply.What do you mean by 3 day Pass?Tokyo to Hakone day trip for 3 days?Thanks.ReplyDeleteReplies
There are 2 types of pass here - Hakone Pass and Fuji Hakone PassDelete
Hakone Pass at ¥5140 (from Shinjuku station) is valid for 2 days. If you do the classic round course by train, cablecar, ropeway, boat and bus, regular tickets would total about ¥6300, you can save considerably by purchasing the free pass. Furthermore, using a single pass is a major convenience over buying single tickets each time you ride a train or bus.However, if you only go, for example, from Shinjuku to Lake Ashi (Moto-Hakone) and back (about ¥4200 by regular tickets), the purchase of the free pass would not be justified.
Fuji Hakone Pass at ¥7400 (from Shinjuku) is valid for 3 days. If you want to see both, Hakone and the Fuji Five Lake region in three days, the purchase of this free pass as opposed to regular tickets makes good sense.
Let's say we buy 2 day Hakone Pass whereby we want to have a day trip to Hakone and return to Tokyo on that day itself then return to Hakone on the second day again.The Hakone Pass will be expire as soon as we return to Tokyo on the first day or we can use the pass for 2 days back and return without staying over at Hakone?ReplyDeleteReplies
This 2 day Hakone pass includes ONE round-trip between Tokyo Station and Odawara station on regular Odakyu trains (which means you can only travel to and fro once) + unlimited travel within most of the Hakone region for the term of the pass.Delete

Hi Iva,ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing all these tips. I have been using them to plan my trip in dec.
You mentioned there is direct train from Narita to Ningyocho. Is this on the Narita express? Direct meaning no need to transfer train no stops at other stations? I check on hyperdia and it shows several transfer. Hope you can help. Thank you.Replies
Narita Express is sort of like shinkansen, It doesn't stop at Ningyocho. Direct means you do not need to transfer and the train does stop at every station. It took me about 40-50 mins from Ningyocho to Narita. This direct train is not shown in Hyperdia, I only found out when I was at Ningyocho station. You can ask station staff when you at airport. This direct train only runs every 20 - 30 mins.

So you will have 25th, 26th and 27th 3 full day in Tokyo. Mount Fuji and Disneysea will take 1 day each, so you still have 1 more day to explore Shinjuku, Tokyo Tower and Ginza. I think you planning is feasible.

Thanks helping us again :)Replies
Hi Yewkong, you don't need to reserve bus ticket (Nohi bus) from Takayama, just purchase from Nohi bus office counter right before you go Shirakawago and join in the q. You NEED to reserve bus ticket from Shirakawago to Kanazawa, I wrote email to Shirakawago Tourist Association email: email@example.com and get them help to reserve bus ticket.Delete
Are you going to use JR pass? JR pass does not cover Nozomi shinkansen train fare in route 1. You have to pay full fare. You can only take Hikari if you are using JR pass. Also as a JR pass user, you should take Narita Express at Narita airport then transfer at Shinagawa (it's better not to transfer at Tokyo, you will lose your way) then transfer again at Nagoya to Takayama.
Take route 1 (if you are not using JR pass)
Take route 2 (as a JR pass user)

Dear Iva,ReplyDelete
Thank you for your reply. After reading your blog, I am feeling more confident planning my 1st solo Japan trip. I am like you, not so much into Shrines (1 or 2 is good enough). This is my rough plan based on your guide:
Arriving in Narita early morning, plan to stay in Tokyo 1st few days to get the hang of moving again before moving out to other region.
Day 1 in Shinjuku/ Shibuya/ Harajuku
Day 2 in Tokyo station/ Ginza/ Tsukiji market/ Tokyo Tower
Day 3 in Asakusa temple/ Tokyo Skytree/ Ueno Ameyoko market
Day 4 in Akihabara
Day 5 in Hakone/ Mt. Fuji
Day 6 & 7 Proceed Takayama - Shirakawago - Kanazawa
Day 8 Kyoto
Day 9 Osaka
Day 10 Tokyo --Night Flight home
Not sure if I am too ambitious covering so many places? Is the flow correct? Day 1-3 -I intend to but 3 day Tokyo Subway and day 4 activate my JR Pass. What would you advise?
Thank you very much.Replies
Day 5 - can be very rush, if you spend a night in Hakone or Fuji on day 5 instead of going back to Tokyo, maybe it's not that rush.Delete
Day 6 & 7 - 3 places in 2 days also sound rush, which means you will do a day trip only in one of them.
Preferably should spend 2 days in Kyoto but 1 day is fine if you don't have time.

8 Days u stay same hotel?

I was browsing one of my social media networks when I came across this image:
If that doesn't shock you, well. Culturally, we have drifted into a pattern of redefining terms based on our confusion of their true meanings, over-exaggeration of situations and events and embellishing things to make them seem greater than they are. We've created shortened invented terms like YOLO (you-only-live-once) and LOL (laugh-out-loud), which cause little harm, and use words like "clutch" to express how cool something is.
Despite the seemingly harmless recycling of words, this liberal way we (ab)use the English language has eroded our ability to define and use terms correctly and appropriately in situations when word use is vital. When we take a word like "hero" or "courage" and use it in situations where a person has made a personal decision for their own benefit, we begin to lose sight of the people who sacrifice themselves for the well-being of others. When you watch superhero movies, the heroes don't become great because they do something out of selfish ambition, they do it for the greater good of mankind and for the safety of their communities and the world.
Here are some fundamental things heroes do:
- Acts of selfless service
- Accomplishes goals to build themselves up, for the purpose of benefiting others
- Does these things despite fears or disadvantages (mental, emotional, situational or physical)
- Rises above a challenge and becomes a greater quality person, and achieves a richer quality of life
It is overwhelmingly tragic how media has become so blind to what true heroism is. In all sense, how does this veteran's selfless sacrifice and victory pale in comparison with the self-serving change of another celebrity? It doesn't and it shouldn't. Glorifying people's self-serving actions in the name of heroism is wrong. We give too much credit where it is not due and it comes from our obsession with our own self-motivated interests and desires. Even if a person's selfish action encourages others, we still cannot define them as heroes. Their action may have inadvertently caused inspiration, but they did what they did for themselves and no one else. That does not make a hero. It might make them brave, but we have to use our words carefully.
Call me dramatic but our privileged part of the world is becoming a lot like Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World;" blind in our self-fulfilling desire for entertainment and pleasure. We follow trends, filter our news to nonessential entertainment and gossip, and hop on causes without using our God-given common sense. The fact that I even have to write an article like this makes me realize how consumed we are in the distractions of selfish causes and how unconcerned we are to the real crises happening around the world. As the insightful author of "Amusing Ourselves to Death," Neil Postman, wrote:
What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us.

FOUND ON THE HIGHWAYOn Thursday afternoon as P.S. Onan was on duty on the Wymington-road, he saw a man, apparently a tramp, lying on the side of the highway. On going to him the sergeant found him to be well-nigh insensible, and in a most helpless and exhausted condition, and the only answer that could be got in reply to enquiries was "Wellingborough".
It transpired that he had been six hours coming from Wymington to the Windmill, where he was picked up. He was at once removed to the Workhouse at Wellingborough, where he was identified as Wm. Parker, 75 years of age, a native of the town. We understand he lies in a precarious condition.
Inciting to resistLion Clark and Francis Denton, Rushden, were charged with encouraging Bently to resist the police.P.S. Onan said the defendants interfered with those he called on to assist him.P.C. Whiting said when Wright went to assist the sergeant, Clark called out, "What are you to do with the b-----?" Denton also called out, "Let the b------s have it; they don't have a job very often."Supt. Bailie said this was the first case of the kind from Rushden, and he did not press the case, as defendants had since expressed their regret.Fined £1 and 8s. 6d. Costs each.
The Rushden Argus July 11th 1919, transcribed by Susan Manton
Smart Capture - Rushden Police Find Wanted Man
The Rushden Police made an exceedingly smart capture on Monday. It appears that the police had an order to look out for a man named Charles Richie, alias Betts, who was wanted by the Bucks Police in connection with the theft of £18 in Treasury notes at Ravensthorpe, as far back as June 18th last. The local police made investigations with the results that they found his real name to be Betts, and that he was born at Newton Bromshold, and brought up in Rushden. Despite a careful watch the man evaded the police until Monday. That being Newton Feast P.C. Mattock went over and made inquiries and made a very smart capture in the Swan Inn. The man was handed over to the Bucks police on Tuesday.

Exams are approaching, at this crucial juncture, students encounter with personal and subject related problems. Amidst a busy exam schedule, students have interacted with some personal and subjected related issues. What needed is a prompt solution which not only set them free of worries but also facilitates their smooth preparation. Here enlisted are a few questions about study method, preparation of time table, overcoming distractions, scoring high marks in English and a few related to Physics. Let's just get right to it.
(6) How to study before exams and how to make an effective time table?
Students have a psychological advantage that nearing the examination period their curiosity, discipline, hard work, loyalty towards study incredibly increases. This really proves to be instrumental for a good student to gain maximum benefits.
Well, there can't be a fixed study method. It may vary according to a student's intellect, preparation and academic performance in the previous examinations / tests. The only common thing for all the students could be "work hard, never compromise with your studies". However, you can cultivate a good study habit by focusing on the following:
- Select a good place to study
- Develop concentration
- Be a master of note taking techniques
- Be an expert of skimming technique – Skimming is about focusing on the most important portion of the subject and leaving aside the rest. This is similar to the way you scroll down to find out any particular number from your mobile phone book, this scanning technique when applied to reading a book is skimming)
- Time management
- Memory
- Revision
Preparing an effective time schedule help stay focused. For its preparation we are considering that there are no formal classes, it's almost a complete vacation for exam preparation. So the available time is 24 x 7, however we will extract an affordable part from it to make it convenient.
A time table is a handy tool that will give you a perspective on things to be accomplished. Its all about managing your time, if you succeed, excelling in the exams is going to be your cup of tea.
First of all set a target for yourself. What do you want to achieve and what's your future plan, based on that you will be charged up to stick to a decent time table.
In view of your strengths, make a priority list of the subjects and chapters of the subjects. That means take those subjects first that consume less of your time and then opt those that demands more time. Similarly select the chapters of the subjects based on the possible time that may consume.
For a student, productive working hours would be comprised of sessions of 60 mins each with 15 mins break. Just calculate the available time in a day's period. If you start your day by 4 am and wind up your studies at around 11 pm, it comes around 19 hours a day. If you take out almost 5 hours of break (19 x 15 = 4.75 hrs.) and approximate 3 hours' time for food and prayers then you are left with a quantum of 11 hours of study per day. This duration could be flexible; students can alter according to their own priorities and overall condition.
Now, divide the available time among the total subjects. You can spend quality time on each subject every day. Or you can have three to four subjects a day and deal with the rest on the alternate days. This way the time delegated is more than enough to carry out effective studies. Make sure of taking out some time for the revision of subjects studied.
Once you make a time schedule don't alter the timings, let it be fix. However, later you can alter a bit if feel little hard to cope.
In view of this principle description you can commence your studies from morning 4 and relaxed in the night at 11 pm. It would be desirable if you get up early in the morning and sleep max by 11 pm. Avoid night outs.
To excel in the exams you need to concentrate on other factors also. Time table is all about time management. You need to focus on your health and memory.
(7) How to overcome distractions, suggest some practical ways?
Distraction is a condition or state of mind in which the attention is diverted from an original focus or interest. It is a mental disturbance. Like, noise, improper room conditions, family members or friends intervention, mobile, TV and internet usage, sleeplessness, personal issues etc.
Distraction is one of the most common problems students face, in particular during the examination period. The students wants to get good grades. They have their own promises. Expectations of parents and teachers are high. Amidst these imperatives students tend to feel distractions.
While studying, feelings of distraction actually invite your attention towards something which could be potentially dangerous. Better if you concentrate hard to get rid of them. To have a control over unwanted feelings, you need to be sharp focused. Some of the practical ways are:
- Selection of place – Ambiance does matter; select a comfortable, quietest and a bit spacious place for your studies.
- Clean your room – Keep your study room clean, take out all the things that could disturb you.
- Tell everyone – Let everyone who lives with you know that you are pretty serious in studying and no one is suppose to disturb you by any mean.
- Organize study schedule – Prepare an effective time table to ensure optimum utilization of available time.
- Avoid friends – Avoid friends. Tell them that you would appreciate if they don't call or text a message. However, if need help, you can invite your class fellow as a study partner.
- Read aloud – There is a highest possibility that reading aloud will help you remember. Read aloud, in particular when you feel any distraction.
- Concentrate on memorizing things – If you succeed in remembering studied portions means the distractions have failed. Let memorization be a benchmark to know the effectiveness of your study and the level of your concentration.
- Be flexible – Don't be tense with regard to the time table, subjects and the left over chapters. Be flexible, utilize the available time to the best of your benefits.
- Change your study hours – Sticking to the same schedule sometimes reduces your concentration and interest level. Try to rotate the subjects and there corresponding study hours. If this fails by chance, change your place, go somewhere else, to your friend's house, garden or school /college.
- Rotate your study pattern – Don't stick to a solitary style of studying, change the duration of study, shift the place, flip the timings.
- ABC technique – This is one of the most tested techniques. Here, A stands for awareness. You should be aware of the means of distractions. B for breathing. Soon after realization take a deep breath with a firm determination of dealing with all forms of distractions. And C stands for choosing, opt proper methods to rectify all sorts of disturbing elements.
- Study material – Keep your study material ready. The moment you start your studies, things should be available for instance reference and use. It will be an added advantage for you. It helps understand that everything is under your control and you have a command over things.
- Take short breaks – It is recommended that you should have a small break after every 45 or 60 mins.
- Be productive – Study shows that an average period of concentration per day is less than 2 hours, so you need to be very productive for optimum utilization of the available time.
- Revision snacks – Take some healthy snacks during the breaks. Avoid excess eating, carbonated drink and junk food.
- Motivate yourself – Take a regular assessment of your personal involvement in the studies and memorizing things. Motivate yourself with words and phrases that are quite inspiring.
- Study partner – As it is said, if needed you can have a study partner, or join anyone. But remember heavy reliance on a study partner is also a kind of distraction.
- Remember God – Invoke Him. Seek His guidance. Ask for forgiveness. Devote quality time for worship. Be thankful to Him for providing you with an ease to study and remember things.
(8) What topics are likely to appear in PUC Physics, PUC II exams?
Some important topics have a higher possibility of appearing in the exams, you can focus on them and they are:
- Optics
- Electronic Devices
- Communion Systems
- Atoms & Nuclei
- Electrostatic
- Dual Nature of Matter
You can also prepare for the following chapters and topics:
- Modern Physics – semiconductor, atom n nuclei, dual nature of radiation, communication system
- Optics – ray optics, wave optics, problems of interference, diffraction and Youngâ € double slit.
- Current & Electricity.
- Practice the ray and other important diagrams.
- Solve objective type questions, practice for solving one mark questions.
However, I would recommend you to go through complete syllabus and try to cover the maximum. Refer previous years question papers so as to have an idea about the question patterns and order of there appearance.
(9) How to score 95 marks in English in 12th board exams?
You need to really work hard for scoring more than ninety marks in theoretical subjects, like English. Try to understand the basics:
- Score full marks in comprehension section with the help of passage given.
- Well acquaint with the knowledge of formatting, it is essential for scoring high marks in writing and literature sections.
- Always keep in mind the word limits specified for the answers, don't try to go beyond that.
(10) Appearing in 12th Board Exam, Maths completed, now how to revise Physics and Chemistry?
Nice to hear that you have completed Maths portion. Now just move on quickly to both the important subjects. Physics and Chemistry are most crucial in the sense the highest marks you score in these subjects set your future course of action. By scoring highest marks we mean your in depth knowledge and understanding of these subjects. Try to focus on the following :
- Start both the subjects simultaneously.
- Ensure equal time distribution for both.
- Study those chapters first that are easy for you.
- Then move on to the little tough ones.
- Set deadlines for the chapters to be covered.
- Set a target for each subject.
- For physics / chemistry revision – prepare quick reference list of important definitions, formulae, equations & derivations / revise graphs & diagrams / try to understand applications of various concepts / practice numerical as well as theoretical questions / attempt sample papers or previous year papers.
- Improve speed of answering.
- Be confident.
- Take care of health.
- Have nutritious food.
- Avoid night outs.
- Five to six hours sleep is sufficient.

The cover states this comic as being Star Trek: The Official Motion Picture Adaptation, but on the inside front cover, at the bottom, it states it as being Star Trek Movie Adaptation #1. So, that's what I'm calling this series and that's how I'm going to file it away in my comic collection.
The covers: George Kirk is watching it hit the fan on the Regular Cover by David Messina, with colors by Giovanna Niro. Very nice. The Retailer Incentive Photo Cover is of Chris
The story: "Based on the Screenplay by Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman, Adaptation by Mike Johnson & Tim Jones." Whew! Seen the movie? Duh! Bought the DVD? Double Duh! Watched the extra footage? Three-and-oh! So, you've seen what this book has for you. The cut scene of Spock's birth and then the U.S.S. Kelvin's battle. So, the book delivers nothing for you, Star
The pencils: We're spoiled little Trek fans to have David Messina be able to jump from Angel back into our (new) universe. My whole question about this book even being produced was whether the artist chosen would lay out the panels from angles different from the way the film was directed (as Chee Yang Ong did for The Wrath of Khan adaptation) or "phone it in" by just copying off the DVD? The answer is neither, really. Messina has some of his panels laid out the same as the film, but his strength is his ability to generate emotion, so some angles are changed and close-ups (one of Messina's specialties) deliver the goods (Page 10 and Pages 15 - 21). An adaptation should re-enact the film and use iconic shots from it, but it should not bind the artist down. He, or she, should feel free to make the film his or her own. David Messina does it again. Overall grade: A
The inks: Gaetano Carlucci, welcome aboard! David Messina's work is angular, and I like that. Mr. Carlucci softens up those severe straight lines, but without sacrificing Messina's look. You sir, Mr. Carlucci, can be the inker anytime in anything I ever read. As I thumb through this issue, I can't find a flaw. Thank you, sir! Overall grade: A
The colors: Giovanna Niro has so much to do! Messina and Carlucci are a great team and Niro only adds to them with her coloring by giving all the characters added dimension. Look at Page 7 as your proof. Reading comics in the 70s and 80s, those people would be monotone in skin color, but with the technology today, and Ms. Niro's skills, it's almost three dimensional. Take that Avatar! No glasses required! Overall grade: A+
The letters: Robbie Robbins also delivers: dialogue, birthing screams, explosions, a trident opening, a computer flat lining, and many computer readouts. I kept looking for the lettering equivalent of a kitchen
The final line: It's a successful comic adaptation because it's able to capture the emotions and images well enough to make you want to watch the film again when you're done reading it. Now, if you'll excuse me, that's what I'm going to do. Overall grade: A

Summer's on its way and that means one thing! Yummy salads!
A salad will NEVER fill you up on a winters day, but in the summer a salad is the perfect dish to keep you going throughout the day and as I've said many times, they really don't have to be boring!
This is my Crunchy Italian Cheese Salad:
Italian Hard Cheese (if you don't fancy splashing the cash any cheese will do! The more mature the better as you'll need less – now that's value for money!)
Bag of crunchy salad – Sainsbury's sell one with iceburg lettuce with white and red cabbage, tesco's bag is similar with grated carrot too!
Baby SweetcornSpring onion
Pumpkin seeds (best crunchy salad extra EVER, who needs unhealthy fried cruttons when you could have pumpkin seeds?!)
LemonBlack pepper
Olive oil
Toss all of the ingredients in a bowl. Make a dressing out of half a lemon and good slug of olive oil. Season with pepper, then using a potato peeler...that's right...a potato peeler, shave your cheese on to your salad, and enjoy!
(Green Chai seen in the picture is optional, but delicious!)

Designed by Checkup in collaboration with Bosa
It was in 1976 when Italo Bosa started his own ceramic production. His pieces – vases, lamps, tableware, furnishing accessories – have been made for over thirty years entirely by hand in the company's workshop with a strong family background but with an international vision thanks to the collaboration with established designers and emerging talents, and thanks to the synergies developed with important brands in the furniture world
The collaboration with Checkup was a fascinating and constructive experience, where research, professionalism and tenacity in the development of the product allowed us to exhibit at the Salone del Mobile [Furniture Exhibition] in Milan two examples of Sensai furniture (Kinesis by Salvatore Indriolo and Autè by Decoma Design) that create the ideal atmosphere for every environment
