Fly away with<br />

Jetstar Asia<br />

Woo Yingyan<br />

Taiwan<br />

I fl ew to Taiwan for the fi rst time with<br />

Jetstar three years ago for a holiday<br />

and fell in love with the country<br />

instantly. Recently, I booked a ticket<br />

on Jetstar 3K721 to Taiwan once<br />

again, for a much-needed break.<br />

The Jetstar crew was great right<br />

from the start — the check-in was<br />

effi cient and they made sure I got<br />

onboard the plane on time.<br />

I stayed in the mountains where<br />

few Singaporeans have visited. My<br />

three nights there was a good break,<br />

away from the hustle and bustle of<br />

the city.<br />

At the Wuling Farm, I managed to<br />

catch the last of the cherry blossom<br />

season. I would have loved to catch<br />

the connecting fl ight to Osaka to get<br />

a glimpse of the sakura, but I didn’t<br />

have the luxury of time. Still, the sea<br />

of pink, white and yellow of the plum,<br />

pear and brassica blossoms left me<br />

in awe.<br />

The weather that March was<br />

much colder than in previous years<br />

because of an unusual continental<br />

cold air mass moving into Taiwan. I<br />

was in for a surprise when I arrived<br />

in Hehuanshan. For the fourth time<br />

in 13 years, it snowed in March! The<br />

sight was amazing. I spent two hours<br />

building a snowman; my fi ngers<br />

turned red and numb.<br />

I’m sure I’ll plan another trip to<br />

Taiwan again on Jetstar!<br />

Singapore<br />

I fl ew to Singapore from Phnom<br />

Penh for a weekend and really<br />

enjoyed spending time with my<br />

dear friend whom I stayed with<br />

during my visit. I have not seen<br />

her for the past three years since<br />

her graduation, so we had a lot<br />

of catching up to do. We chatted<br />

through the day and night, and<br />

slept very little; I lost my voice<br />

because of this!<br />

Thanks to Jetstar for operating<br />

this route, I could visit Singapore<br />

and be with my dear friend. I loved<br />

the city, its parks, the view from<br />

the skyscrapers and of course the<br />

cheap and tasty food. But what I<br />

loved the most was being reunited<br />

with my friend.<br />
