Hi Lem,

I’ve been out of action for quite some time. Had only recently revived this blog and saw your question 6 months late. =P I’m not sure which map you were referring to – not that it matters i guess. Hope you enjoyed yourself though! I certainly did =)

Dear Cuppakopi,

Hi, just wondering how you created your travel map – showing an outline of the itinerary you travelled through Hokkaido. I’ll be doing a similar trip in June 2010 and would like to use it to start documenting essential info like highways and mapcodes.

Yes, I must be very “kiasu-lah”, musn’t get lost over there.

Thanks.

Thanks for this post. The Daisetsuzan mountains are a must watch when visiting Daisetsuzan National Park. Ishikari Tokachi mountains are the most beautiful. There are number of animals found here like Hokkaido deer, Hokkaido fox, Ezo sable etc.

Hello Max,

That’s good advice. I used to conduct surveys during my vacations and we had to ask the respondents for their names and phone numbers.

The reason was supposedly so our boss could verify if the surveys were genuine i.e. we didn’t just hide in a room and cook-up fake surveys. We always assure our respondents of this but i’m not really convinced myself.

I still get unsolicited calls from banks & credit card companies and i don’t know if it was from some old surveys that i helped someone complete.

I once work for a Credit card agent outsource for HSBC and Standard Chartered. We were given a list of leads to call every now and then.
I understood from my supervisor that such leads can be bought or sold.
The funny thing is I found my name and number in the excel list which are tab accordingly like Standard chartered , UOB, OCBC etc.

Just last year when I come upon individuals asking me to do survey at compasspoint, I did it for the auntie but I did not fill in my HP number.
She asked me to do so and I ask I think you are more interested in the survey or my particulars. Guess what, she dump my survey into the bin in front of me.
Dont hand out your phone number and name to stranger. They will benefits people who sell them as leads.
