“Should I go somewhere?” or “Should I rather stay in Korea to save up?”
The dilemma to leave or to not leave began as I found out that a lot of my colleagues filed for a vacation leave during Chuseok (similar to Thanks giving season of Western). Answer was already given as I had a dilemma on my mind. “I decided to leave.”
But where?
Due to the long holiday, ticket price doubled. It was difficult for me to look for a cheap flight ticket and the least expensive one that I found was a ticket going to Cebu. It might be a bit expensive than the usual but considering that I am leaving on the peak season it was not bad.
Booked the flight.
