First Night


I'm in Manila, and my entire first evening was spent in the airport. Everyone gave me bad information, and my ticket to Boracay that should have cost $40 was actually $200. I almost didn't get them at all.

The someone took advantage of you. Our ticket cost 35 dollars. No more. We bought it at the airport.

He's probably lying about the whole thing. The extra $160 was spent on little boys.

does "vacation" mean the same thing in Korea as it does in the USA?

Vacation actually means time off of work. Luckily.

And no, I wasn't taken advantage of. I spent an hour talking to the tourist office. We talked to every carrier that sells tickets.

Did you go to the domestic airport where you are departing from to buy the tickets? Are you flying on Asia Spirit?

ęł  and I just checked our receipts and each ticket cost 36 bucks. I don't understand it.

You got a good deal because you flew in a package. I talked to the airlines for an hour. If I would have booked a month ago, they would have been 50 bucks.

The tickets were not included in the package. I guess we were lucky.
