And many people have to travel back to their hometowns for reunion and new year meals. Doing it any other time is just not the same.

Reason? “We’ve no choice to increase because the supplier increased their price.”

This is probably the reason why I prefer to stay in the city during the festive season and head on a road trip on normal working days, but I understand that not all have the luxury of doing so without sacrificing their annual leave.
