Perth<br />
Nestling on the banks of the river<br />
Swan, Perth is a city where urban<br />
buzz and rural aesthetics co-exist<br />
in a calming confl uence. During<br />
our memorable week there, made<br />
affordable by a fantastic offer<br />
on Jetstar’s Friday Frenzy, we<br />
experienced sun-kissed beaches,<br />
rolling hills, majestic wildlife,<br />
premium wines and more.<br />
Perth has a lot to offer and we<br />
liked the serenity of Kings Park, the<br />
bustle of malls on Murray Street,<br />
the mesmerising sunset off the<br />
marvellous Cottesloe Beach and the<br />
buzzing nightlife at Northbridge and<br />
Subiaco. We also loved our day trip<br />
to neighbouring Fremantle, where<br />
we ambled among historic buildings,<br />
ate delicious fi sh and chips by the<br />
harbour, sipped gourmet coffee<br />
on the famous ‘Cappuccino Strip’,<br />
gulped refreshing beer at the Little<br />
082<br />
Creatures brewery and shopped for great souvenirs<br />
(Aboriginal hand-painted boomerangs, anyone?) in<br />
the backstreets. We were also glad that we chose to head<br />
south to the rustic and charming Margaret River.<br />
The highlight of our trip undoubtedly was Caversham<br />
Wildlife Park, a friendly farm that’s home to many animals<br />
unique to Australia, and where you can feed kangaroos,<br />
pet wombats and pose with koalas.<br />
Thank you, Jetstar, for such an unforgettable holiday.<br />

Taipei<br />
It was more than fi ve years ago since<br />
I’d last visited Taipei. When Jetstar<br />
posted its weekly Friday sale for<br />
Taiwan, I jumped at the opportunity<br />
and booked myself a trip I will<br />
never forget.<br />
Despite this being my second<br />
trip to Taipei, I decided to extend<br />
my holiday by starting with the<br />
breathtaking Taroko National Park.<br />
I booked myself into one of the<br />
luxurious hotels nestling within the<br />
national park, and was totally blown<br />
away by the magnifi cence of the<br />
park during the car ride up to the<br />
hotel. Never before throughout my<br />
countless travels have I ever been<br />
so overwhelmed by such serenity<br />
— woods are juxtaposed against<br />
awe-inspiring mountains and the rush<br />
of mountain streams.<br />
Totally invigorated by the magic<br />
of the national park, I headed back<br />
to Taipei city to soak up the vibrancy<br />
of the colourful city. Needless to say,<br />
eating, shopping and experiencing<br />
the best karaoke only Taiwan can<br />
offer ended my week-long trip on<br />
a high.<br />
I now look forward to Friday emails<br />
from Jetstar to take me to more<br />
outstanding places at great value!<br />
Thank Jetstar it’s Friday!
