Some days have already gone by but don’t worry. Because a wonderful opportunity awaits you at the end of the month. To turn that opportunity into a vacation, you will have to try and take 2 leaves. See, the 26th (Wednesday) of the month is a national holiday. 29th (Saturday) and 30th (Sunday) are week-offs.
