Hokkaido trip
Going with my mum to Hokkaido in Jan.
Oh my god.
We haven't go and she's already driving me nuts.
She's a fucking genius.
First of all, she's the one who chose Jan when I suggested Dec.
Dec is the school holiday period so usually, tours in this month are 95% confirmed.
She insisted Jan so i booked in Aug 2012 for our tour to depart in Jan 2013.
Now she turned around and said this 'Why did you choose Jan? Dec is better as it is the school holiday.'
WTF.
I told myself I won't argue over this.
Then, one month later, she looked at the itinerary and said the following.
"this is a 7 day tour, right?'
'Right.'
'then how come we need one whole day to reach Japan? Japan is so far away like America?'
'huh?'
'see. the itinerary says departs on day 1 and reach Japan on day 2'
'if we depart at night we will reach on day 2 technically. it depends on what flight they manage to get from the airline. usually we should reach around 12pm on day 2'
'why japan need so many hours and taiwan doesn't?'
she went on to argue with me over the damn itinerary.
and 2 weeks ago, she wanted to buy winter clothes and when the staff ask for the temperature range.
my mum tells him it's minus 20-30 degrees.
*speechless*
we are not going to a ski resort or North Pole.
she doesn't listen when i told her the jacket size is too big. the holes will make it colder when the wind blows.
fine, whatever.
now she blames me that we didn't buy enough heat pads.
the trip is in FUCKING JAN.
we have a lot of time.
then, today, she pesters me on ground zero again.
'when will we know if the tour is confirmed?'
'not now. it's only Nov'
'then when?'
'2 weeks before departure'
'then what if it's not confirmed'
'also 2 weeks before'
'HUH? then what about the winter clothes? if the tour is not confirmed, the winter clothes are wasted.'
*sigh*
1 - she's the one who chose Jan and now she blames me if it is not confirmed.
2 - she was okay with the itinerary and now she's pecking at everything in it.
3 - she's the one who want to buy winter clothes so early and it's my fault again if they are wasted.
why can't she just shut up and let me know the coordination.
i don't need her to tell me when to do everything.
i have been to Japan 3 times through tour agency. I know how to plan for it.
i have worked in a tour agency for the Japan market.
i know how the whole fucking thing works.
stop pestering me.
Jan is seemingly not as popular as Dec but tour still gets confirmed.
my mum thinks she knows a lot but the truth, she's just a fool
