Hi everyone, let me share some of my story about last year. On January 2022, I have a client that the company is state-owned enterprises. It was my first time work with them as independent auditor. I know the procedure and work were a bit tight and time consuming (needs to work almost 10-15 hours per day) and we must finished for 3 months working faraway from home. we rented house for team stay and work diligently. the three months passed quickly with a bit stressed, some of us got infected by covid-19 too (that makes our work got halt a week). Let's not talk about work, it's boring. what I want to tell you is we spare a small holiday to have fun too, visit a monument, tourist spots, places to hang out, etc. we have a lot of fun at the small time we use. at the end of the assignment, I asked my wife come visit me to West Java, Bandung city from North Sumatera, Medan. I rent an apartment for us to live separately with my team but work still going as usual. At the final weekend before I go back home, Me and my wife try to having sight seeing at Bandung Zoological Garden (aka: Bandung Zoo). we having fun seeing many animals for 3 hours plus having lunch there. and then go to another place for sightseeing and having fun even the weather seems got rain. I use my time for work at a different place but I never forget to find any good holiday at many tour place to visit.

When I used to follow my husband during his business trips, we always found time to visit the places where we went.

@grantward7 It is important, it is a shame to miss to visit places.

Indeed, we need to find a chance when going on business trips and change it into family trip.

I went to Jatim Park II. it has a many animals that I never imagine. one of the most impress on my memory was when I found the place they keep black panther. I only have recorded it close by and the black panther roar at me in that video. my wife asked if I wasn't afraid when recoreded it. Well, at first I feel confortable with the fence nearby, but when the black panther close and roar at me while it's walking, I got scared on my spine. I'm so sorry for a wrong references. I guess Jatim Park is at Malang not Surabaya, I guess i got little mix up since both city are in East Java (I got mixed up because the name is Jatim is short for Jawa Timur/East Java).

Adding some holiday fun when on a work assignment makes the job a lot less stressful. That was great you were able to combine the two!
