KEANE WANG<br />
Guilin<br />
With the introduction of Jetstar’s fl ight to<br />
Guilin, my wife and I fi nally got to travel<br />
there within our budget. In Guilin, we<br />
visited the Seven Star Cave, which is truly<br />
magnifi cent. The lighting within further<br />
beautifi es the entire cave interior, and we<br />
were very impressed. From Guilin, we took<br />
a fi ve-hour Li River Cruise along Li Jiang to<br />
Yangshuo, south-west of Guilin city. The<br />
Li River Cruise allowed us to truly indulge<br />
in the beautiful waterway and enjoy the<br />
unique mountains, peaceful green fi elds,<br />
farms and villages, with water buffalos<br />
and cows wandering around on both<br />
sides of the river bank. In Yangshuo, we<br />
travelled around the town by bicycle. We<br />
064<br />
thought it was the best way to experience<br />
the culture of the town. We also tried<br />
bamboo rafting in Yulong River, which was<br />
a different experience compared to the Li<br />
River Cruise. For dinner, we had beer fi sh,<br />
a local speciality, and defi nitely worth<br />
trying. We had that for dinner every night!<br />
After dinner, the locals recommended we<br />
watch the Liu Sanjie Impression. It’s a<br />
large-scale performance with about 3,000<br />
performers by the riverside. Through the<br />
show, we experienced the culture of the<br />
ethnic minorities, the beautiful scenery of<br />
the Li River and astonishing performing<br />
arts. Thank you, Jetstar for a unique and<br />
wonderful trip!<br />
MELISSA SIM<br />
Cambodia<br />
Our group of fi ve friends fl ew to Cambodia<br />
on the fi rst fl ight out to Phnom Penh. We<br />
were going to take part in an Ultimate<br />
Frisbee competition. The weekend was<br />
non-stop action, running and throwing<br />
and catching, with lots of good food and<br />
soothing massages at night. We decided to<br />
tour the area and we thoroughly enjoyed<br />
the sights by the river. We shopped at the<br />
Russian Market and indulged in local food<br />
like mee cha and lok cha [noodle dishes].<br />
Of course, we did not forget to treat<br />
the birthday boy among us to a yummy<br />
chocolate cake. Later on, we went to a<br />
home for underprivileged children, where<br />
we spent a few hours playing volleyball<br />
and chatting with more than 40 kids. We<br />
left just before nightfall to catch our plane<br />
back to Singapore, but needless to say<br />
it was a fun-fi lled weekend packed with<br />
activity and a lot of heart. The birthday<br />
boy told me it was the best present ever<br />
— spending his birthday afternoon putting<br />
smiles on the faces of kids. Perhaps a new<br />
birthday tradition is in order!<br />
