I have decided to bring Nemo to guangzhou next month. Guangzhou has became a famous city for young parents’ travel these year because of the changlong wildlife park and circus. Last year we have already booked the guanhzhou trip through an online travel agency but that agency’s capital chain broke and their CEO and GM was arrested. Therefore, we did not go to guangzhou and get our money back successfully.
Our plan is to watch the circus on 1st day and go to wildlife park on 2nd day, then we can have some local food in last two days. This is my favorite travel schedule.

Guangzhou trip is outside of my plan and I planned to go to Hokkaido with my husband’s friends at first place, but his friends thought that go to Hokkaido is too expensive. After I read some Hokkaido’s travel dairy, I immediately loved it. I insisted to go to Hokkaido with nemo and my husband, but my husband always said ‘my team member is not on board, I can’t take annual leave until someone come. ‘’ I have already waited almost 6 months and the flight cost raise from 2k to 5k and his team member will be available until the end of march….but the snow in Hokkaido will not wait for me…

So, I gave up and I determined to travel with his friends to anywhere. Facts proved that I am right. We can go to a trip now even he doesn’t have replacement on that period.
