# Why Australia (Personal Reason)?

It has been 5 years since I couldn't visit any country abroad after New Zealand. The Timing was terrible. The historical Pandemic, like a pest in Europe, happened in early 2020. It is the COVID-19 Pandemic.

After that, as you know, people worldwide couldn't easily travel abroad. The whole nation forbade tourists from going to other countries. Yes. Including me. So, I should wait for the reopening of the closing of all nation's policy.

Three or four years passed, and the day came. Thanks to the new vaccine, the number of patients was decreasing. Eventually, countries started to reopen their gates.

But it was when I started a new project at work. It seems to have been a year. I didn't have a choice. So, I started the company's new project, which is to develop a new financial application for our finance industry customer.

Another year passed, and I finally got a big break holiday. And then it was time to choose where to go. Hmm... Where can I go? I have been in Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Southern Europe, China, Japan, and the USA. But the thought did not last longly. I wanted to go somewhere warm, somewhere with a summer atmosphere.

That's right. January here in Korea. Winter. So, the southern hemisphere is definitely summer. But I don't want to visit New Zealand twice. This time, I must visit an unvisited country.

Until now, it was my personal reason to choose Australia. After the journey has ended, I am going to upload Why You Must Visit Australia. So, please wait for it.

Now then! Let's go to Australia!

# Mistake

It hurts... Really, it hurts me. I reserved a lounge to take a rest in a better place.

It costs 32$ per person to get in the lounge. Shanghai Pudong 77 Lounge. I had to ask how to go to the 77 lounge to the staff of airport. But when I was confronted by the staff, I said, 'How can I go to No 139 Gate(which is my transfer gate from Shanghai to Sydney)?'

I was blinded by impatience to get out of the place crowded with transfer people. The mind that let me get out of here first of all made a mistake.

Of course, the airport security indicated me of direction to No 139 Gate, and I just followed him without any imagination that is not going to a lounge.

What I was supposed to do was an entry procedure, not a transfer. The list below is what I had to do at that time.

* 1) Getting out of Terminal 1.
* 2) Go to Terminal 2.
* 3) Take a rest in the No 77 lounge(located at the Terminal 2).

As soon as I began my trip, I made a mistake. I write this happening as my record.
