A friend offered me free accommodation and food in Paris before he leaves the city of love for Ulsan, Korea for two years. I am so, so, so damn tempted. As you know, I have spent the better part of my life taking care of my sick dogs and my father never let go anywhere previously but I have put my foot down that once Snoopy doesn't need me anymore, I will do whatever I want and I will travel.
The sad part is that no matter how I would like to visit Paris, and for three weeks as a guest, I couldn't bear with parting with my money. Travel fare alone would cost approximately RM3400 but there will be winter clothes and other travel necessities to buy. On top of it, there will be a two-way loss because I wouldn't be able to work, which means that I wouldn't be able to earn. That would certainly damage my budget.
The funny thing with me is that I budget my money month by month and not year by year so it's not easy for me to spend a lump sum of money without feeling the pinch. Anyway, after thinking long and hard, I have decided that I have not reached the stage of traveling for too long unless I have a few thousand Ringgit residual income.
The consolation is that Paris will always be there and Air Asia, I was told, will be servicing KL-Paris route soon. Let's hope that by then, I would have no qualms splashing a few thousand on traveling!
