Last year,I was planning to travel in the end of the year,just alone.During the past year,life is so bored,painful,bitter.I don't want to remember it,just let it go,go away.When I finish my traveling,I will begin my new life,burry my past.But when everything was prepared so pefectly,I would start my journey for forgetting everything.My leader arranged new work for me,I just wanted to escape,yet I couldn't do like that,if I really escped,I must be fired and I can't sit in this commodious and bright office now,and have to find new job.So I tell myself"don't be too down-hearted,it's not the worst" however ,Lijiang is so fantastic and I was indulged it so many yeas.I even felt an irresistible impulse to resign,finally I put off this childish idea,if I lose my job,I can't support myself.Life is just like this,we can't do whatever we like!

I am sorry hear that due to work commitments you were able to travel to Lijiang. Perhaps you get a number of days off work. Then you will be able to take a vacation. I bought a tiny cottage when I was nineteen years old. Then a year later I was made redundant. I found it difficult to find another job. So I let out my cottage, got a working holiday visa for Australia and got an airline ticket around the world. My trip lasted just over one year. In 2006 I booked a flight to Mexico but it was canceled due to the hurricane that hit the Mexican Coast. I decided on going to the Maldives instead. So off I went. In life a person must wait until he for she can do as they wish. Most firms give four weeks leave per employee in my home country. One way it to go on a trip between jobs. One year I worked from May to October in a maternity teaching contract and then I went on my trip to New Zealand. When I returned from that trip I did daily supply teaching. I got a long teaching contact in September and it lasted years.

Wow,your experience sounds so great,you just live as your wishes,I really envy you.
My firm indeed gave me a couple of weeks,so I had my plan,just because of the sudden mission,I had to give my plan.Maybe I have enough courage to do something,like resigning.

pujiao,
Helen Keller once said: "We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough. "
I understand just how badly you wanted a holiday and how you must have felt to be forced to decide work over your dream holiday.
However, you must remember that there's always another chance and for what you may not know, this delay might just be a blessing for you, instead.
Just keep a positive mind and attitude and you will find the joy needed for your passing days. I am sure you will be able to travel to Lijiang eventually so keep your head up.
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." Helen Keller.
