On June 5, 2026, Taiwan media UDN (United Daily News) reported that a debate had unfolded on the Taiwanese internet about whether to spend a 3-day holiday on domestic travel or on a bullet trip overseas.

The article introduced that a post titled "Which would you choose for a 2-night, 3-day trip: domestic travel or an overseas bullet trip?" was submitted to Taiwan's electronic bulletin board PTT and received a significant response. It reported that the poster, who is due to leave their job in June, has only 3 days effectively available out of a week before their new job starts, after accounting for household chores, and was asking for a wide range of opinions on whether to choose domestic travel or a bullet trip to places like Okinawa or Fukuoka.

It then introduced that opinions poured in from netizens regarding the poster's dilemma, with supporters of overseas travel suggesting views such as "Okinawa is just right for 3 days" and "Even for just one day, I'd choose overseas," indicating that one should go to nearby overseas destinations for a short period to seek something out of the ordinary or for satisfaction.

On the other hand, it reported that opponents and cautious proponents of overseas travel raised concerns that a round trip to Japan alone takes nearly 10 hours, plus airport waiting times, which would turn a precious break between jobs into "just self-inflicted torment," and conveyed that there were recommendations to spend time at domestic hot springs or slightly luxurious hotels to reduce the burden of travel.

It also featured opinions recommending rest at home without traveling, whether domestically or internationally, and only going out into the city if boredom sets in. (Edited and Translated by Kawajiri)
