A trip to JiuZhaiGou is arranged since end of last year. The best time to see that place is October and John had fought with others over the bandwidth to get into the everyone can fly airline's server to make that purchase. 5 of us going on backpacking waiting to explore the scenery that we have long heard. Both me and Joie are so excited about it.
But it seems thing has decided not to happen the way we thought it would be.
We learned that his brother is getting married right in the middle of our trip 2 months after everything is set. I can recall vividly it was an evening when we were driving my monther-in-law and our future sister-in-law to a relative's wedding dinner. I asked whether the date for the wedding is confirmed since we were told it'll fall in August. Kym quickly answered, "ya, it's October 23rd for the reception and 24th for the ceremony".
"But I thought you both said it'd be in August?" I said. "Oh no, we have decided to choose October instead" she replied.
The tickets purchased on special offer have no way to change date except paying much more than buying new tickets. The only way is to change the wedding date, for as long as there is restaurant to accommodate the guests for reception.
Time flies, nothing fruitful has come about yet.
Everyone thinks the same: it's just a trip, you can always go other time. Unlike getting married, it's once a lifetime thing.
Little did they even know: it is a backpack trip which means all members go as a team. We can't simply back off from everyone else being such a irresponsible person.
So what outcome is awaiting ahead?
I wonder..........
