Rush Hour!

Okay, it is the time of the year once again (with the exemption of 2020 and 2021) when people are excited to go home for holiday vacations. Not all have own car to travel back home. I wanted to go home on the 31st however, I hate queueing and waiting for a bus ride. So I planned to go home after the holiday to avoid any holiday rush. Many will travel home today and will battle other passengers for a chance to get a ride. There are bus terminals who accepts online booking but mostly don't. Bus stations and grocery stores will be crowded today. That is for sure.

Yes. There's always rush hour including the Philippines. Actually, tomorrow, we'll going to grocery to purchase some recipes for our meal to celebrate the incoming 2023.

We came home from the grocery store about an hour and a half ago. Almost nobody shopping this morning. The streets were quiet with less than normal traffic. I hope you can get a ride home when you're ready.

I hope I can but I believe, the passengers have settled when I am ready to go take my turn for vacation.

I went to a theatre to watch avatar and there was no crowd there. We are now going to a temple and hopefully, there will be a crowd because people like to go to the temple on the last day of the year.

Waiting until after the holiday rush is a wise choice.

That's the usual problem in this Christmas season of the year. Possible solution is to book early or to take a leave so as to go home early. The other solution is to be with your family after the holiday.
