Preparation Work for Hokkaido Marathon 30 August 2015
Another peaceful weekend and it is time for me to compile my resources used for this coming second overseas marathon race for year 2015:
1) All Nippon Airways (ANA): Ideally, I will have chosen Singapore Airlines (SIA) however they do not have any economy flights available when I wished to make my bookings in April 2015. For cost savings and familiarity with the airlines, ANA is chosen.
2) Overseas wifi router rental: Comparing a few options such as Telecomsquare (my preferred choice), Xcom (missed out on the promotions offer) and the recent new Changi Recommends (https://www.changirecommends.com/owifi.aspx#overview & https://www.changirecommends.com/owifi.aspx ), I have decided to choose Changi Recommends and will feedback again in my blog if it is the better choice due to it being more affordable (hint: without delivery charges)
3) Japan Guide for Hokkaido (http://www.japan-guide.com/list/e1101.html) and the official Hokkaido tourism website (https://en.visit-hokkaido.jp/travelPlanner/). They are indeed reliable and JapanGuide has always been used for my planning to Japan trips =D
4) Hokkaido Marathon 2015 official website (http://www.hokkaido-marathon.com/2015/) and facebook page for fast updates (https://www.facebook.com/hokkaidomarathon). Not to forget the very important marathon youtube video course at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IhdVuR-fqk which I downloaded to watch and have strong visualisation when it comes to actual race day =)
5) Google Map for direction planning and navigation purpose while in Sapporo which I find the trip too short T___T
6) Placeholder for additional update if any.
Time to make final preparations and buying for my coming trip which the one week weather forecast is seen to be good (14 to 25 degrees celcius)!
