Male Female

Well, people have many ambitions in life. Some are fulfilled while others remain unachieved. I would like to talk about one ambition I've had but haven't achieved yet. I want to go to Bali, but I haven't succeeded. I tried twice: once this year and once last year, but I got rejected from the Southeast. Another reason is the lack of holidays. Right now, I have one holiday during winter vacation, but it's just for a short time. It's not enough for a trip outside because there are a lot of things we have to do on vacation. In our family, it's a tradition to visit a relative's house during the holidays. So I tried, but I couldn't make it. Regarding Indonesia, my interest grew when one of my uncles visited the city last month. He described the whole place to me and the other family members, including the high prices of the attractions and the people he met. I also learned about the Sunset Market, a street market in the city that sells adorable products at reasonable prices. Additionally, I've always been attracted to swimming at the beach. Therefore, considering all these factors, I've made a plan to visit there, but unfortunately, I can't. So now I've planned for this vacation again. I'll try again next winter when I have another holiday. I will apply again and again.
