Ashley's Travelogue - 2 nights in Taipei

Whenever there is a long holiday in Singapore, it means it’s travelling time! This time round for Easter weekend we chose to go to Taipei! We booked our Scoot tickets last Christmas for $470 which I felt was not budget fare at all. Prior to the departure date, Scoot changed the departure time to an earlier timing. Nonetheless I decided to go ahead with the trip as as refunds can only be in the form of credit (not cash) which means having to book an alternative Scoot flight.

Ashley's Travelogue - 2 Nights in Shanghai

Over the weekend I hopped over to Shanghai where  3 out of the 5 of us had arranged to meet Maggie Kok who is currently based there.

Since it was my first trip to Shanghai I didn’t have any expectations and decided that I would just go along with whatever the girls had planned.  Although 2-nights might seem like such a short stay, the number of things that we ended up doing over these 3 days were uncountable!

Ashley's Travelogue 2014 - Japan

My super late post after 6 months....

Tokyo + Niseko 2014 My first trip in 2014 was a visit a country which I never thought of going before. As a Korean wannabe, going Japan was not top on my mind. But what changed my mind was a beautiful advertisement on Suiboku that I had come across in a magazine one day. I must say that the photographer who shot for the ad did a brilliant job. I told my friends that I would only join them for their Japan vacation if they agreed to stay in Suiboku in Niseko. Surprisingly Maggie, Adeline and Louise said Yes. And so we embarked on a 9 day Tokyo + Niseko trip. Accommodation in Tokyo: Dai Ichi – Tokyo Dates in Tokyo: 01.02.2014 – 04.02.2014 Currency: 1 SGD approximately 80 Yen (In Jan 2014) I am going to load you with mega tons of photos with no caption as I have forgotten what did we excatly did.
