As luck would have it. An earthquake disaster struck Japan. 9.1 magnitude earth quake plus a tsunami that came rolling in after that put everything in the country to chaos. Kinda of a grim reminder of the Banda Acheh Tsunami back a few years ago.
So I had a tough decision to make, go or not go..............with the nuclear meltdown and constant supply shortage of water and basic food. Its was a decision of mine not to add in anymore strain to the country resources. Plus i think its really not nice if people are suffering and your having good time.
So there I was yesterday scrambling mad to cancel my flight with Air Asia and replacing it with a alternative to Chengdu. Peace to u bro Patrick at Air Asia call center Singapore( this guy got my credit shell refund in less than 24 hours ). To be honest i was lost when i decided to cancel my flight before yesterday, i mean come on. The preparation, the anticipation build up to Japan was kinda of a rush for me.
So I did the logical thing which was to streamline what are my options..............10 days to burn, not gonna just waste it like that.........it came down to 2 choices. Option a. Vietnam - a trip from North to South over 10 days. Option b. China - Sichuan over 10 days. Weather wise both was at the right time. Finally decided to settle on China as I still had some CNY leftover from last year's Guilin trip. The only issue now is with my visa. Got to get it done asap.....................
