I'm working on my dad's trip here in July.
He will come and visit for a week before we both fly home together.
I've added up almost everything, and it will cost me over $2,000... OMG
I am so happy for my dad to come, but this price tag may drive me insane.
I don't make much money here, and I've been working so hard to save!
I told him he should come, but seeing the figures on paper near enough gave me a heart attack.
I'm very excited for him to come, and I'm not trying to complain!
I just had to try venting to see if it brings my stress levels down to normal-ish...
Try to enjoy showing your dad China, but definitely split the costs wherever possible.
He's always wanted to go to both of those places, and we're doing a one day tour in those cities because my Chinese and my Chinese history are not really up to par. Otherwise we wouldn't really be able to appreciate what we're seeing, I think.
