Sky Train to Tibet - The Highest Train in the World

The Sky Train which is the highest train in the world departs from Beijing West Railway Station heading to Tibet. About 710 miles of track across western China and the Tibetan plateau, it is the highest elevated railway ever built in this world as of today. The Sky Train climbs to 16,640 feet at the highest point. A trip from Beijing to 48-hour trip from Beijing to Lhasa takes 48 hours.

"Like a railway to heaven, the highest train in the world cuts a stunning path from Beijing to Tibet."

The Sky Train leaves Beijing daily at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are sold at the Beijing West Railway Station (011-86/10-95-105-105). One-way prices range from $173 for a soft-sleeper ticket to $53 in the seating-only cabins. Booking months in advance is recommended.

Malaysian Election Scraps Indelible Ink, RM2.4 Million Down the Drain

The Election Commission (EC) for the upcoming Malaysian General election has scrapped the usage of indelible ink on polling day (March 8th 2008). It was actually meant to safeguard against multiple or phantom voting. The plan was scrapped because police received reports of a plan to “sabotage” the election process in Perlis, Kedah and Kelantan. According to theStar's report, "police investigations revealed that people had smuggled the ink in and had planned to go to rural and remote areas to trick village folk into believing that their fingernails had to be marked before they can go to vote."

“In the beginning, we thought it was just an ordinary process that we could just introduce but then we realised, after getting all the necessary advice from the legal experts, that we would have to take a look at the (Federal) Constitution.”

So now what? You just wasted RM2 million on those darn inks from India. Taxpayer's money. So Now what? Just because you "thought it was just an ordinary process" so we should ok the RM2 million down the drain? Well, according to this report, it's actually RM2.4 million on 48000 bottles on indelible ink. A very bad decision in the 1st place, a decision made without being really sure of the possible "confusions" it may cause. So what do we do about phantom voters now? Can someone tell me? No, don't keep telling me it's too corrupted. Everyone knows it.

More complaints from the blogosphere:
Let’s help to think what to do with RM2.4 million worth of indelible ink, will ya?
Indelible ink no more, foul-play plenty more!
What to do with all the indelible ink?
Another dirty trick by the EC - use of indelible ink cancelled...
WTF? Election Commission has cancelled use of indelible ink at ...

There's a lot more. Just head over to http://blogsearch.google.com/ and search the term "indelible ink". Just like what a rakyat said on 8TV news, we can wash the drains ourselves, we just want to express ourselves.

We All Should Drink Light Beer, Take A Mobile Survey to Win $300 Gift Card

Fearing that I slowly building up a beer belly before I turn 30, I've stuck to drinking light beer most of the time when I choose to drink. Miller Lite and Bud Light. Amstel Light and Coors Light. Reminds me of the Bud Light with commercial with Carlos Mencia, the one with the funny No Speak English tagline. Light beer is essentially beer which is reduced in alcohol content, or in a term more common and applicable to consumers, less in calories in comparison to regular beer. Beer drinkers choose light beer over regular beer because they wish to control their calorie intake.

Some of my friends would refer light beer as beer with less flavor and less "beer" because they taste like watered-down regular beer. Just like Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke. Less sweet, less tasty, yet a much healthier choice. What is you beer preference? Answer a mobile survey about beer and stand a chance to win a $300 Amazon gift card for just a short amount of your time. If interested, you can answer the 10 easy questions by texting the word "beer" (without the quotes) to 247365. The rules for the mobile survey can be found here. "The survey is being presented to a small number of participants, so the odds of winning are about 1500 to 1 (pretty good odds).
