Decision made

I'm going home in August.

After a couple of meetings with my lawyer and a couple more conversations with my boss, I have decided to go home to renew my working visa. My lawyer initially suggested that I extend my current visa so that I won't have to leave the country for that long period of time.

I can't say I didn't give the idea some thoughts, but I thought it'd be nice to go home to visit my family since opportunities like these would be extremely hard to come by in the future once I obtain my new visa.

I would probably have at most 2 weeks vacation which is so not sufficient to go on a whirlwind tour of all the places that I want to visit =) So although it initially felt sort of awkward to leave work for a month and a half, but now I have set my mind for it. It's a good thing to take some time off to spend with family and friends.
