Tickets to China

January 7, 2009

We bought our tickets to China today and it was so awesome! We had set aside 700,000 won for the tickets and visa, as per the original pricing the travel agent told us about. She had told us though to wait until after the New Year because taxes were expected to go down on flights (along with fuel fees). We went in today to inquire about tickets and visas, and it took the agent a little while to understand who we were, because she spoke little English, but she understood that Jason and Abby, good customers who had already paid, sent us. After a little bit of back and forth over what we wanted and such, and a lot of paperwork, she had our priced for us. Instead of almost 700,000 each, it turned out that it was only going to be 370,000 including visas and taxes. Cody and I are so excited, because we were very broke and on a budget, and now we’re feeling a little less strain. I’m very happy and really looking forward to our trip, even thought I know absolutely no Chinese.
