Welcome aboard your Cebu Pacific flight! We are thrilled to bring you more Smiles beginning with this issue. Instead of just six issues a year, expect to find 10 issues of Smile in your plane seat pocket annually.
As always, every issue will be full to the brim with great travel stories and ideas to rev you up for the adventures that await. And speaking of adventures, there’s one for every kind of traveler inside this issue. Nocturnal animals will be dazzled by the bright lights of the new Macau (page 48) as writer Abby Tan takes you through the city that’s been crowned the Las Vegas of the East. And nature trippers should head to Kota Kinabalu! Chris Rowthorn, the Lonely Planet author who penned “Go Wild in Kota Kinabalu” (page 24), has your itinerary for a fabulous time. Don’t get hypothermia like he did when he reached the summit of Mount Kinabalu in 1997 – take his advice as well as a warm jacket. For natural-born shoppers, shop ‘til you drop in CEB’s most cosmopolitan Asian cities (page 35). We’ve mobilized shopping experts from Manila, Ho Chi Minh, Singapore, Hong Kong and Seoul to do the legwork for you. Just take Smile along as your official guide. Still longing for more city exploration? Flip to “On the Right Track” (page
30) and let Susan Kendzulak take you on the new train in Kaohsiung, Taiwan – another new CEB stop – where you’ll find shops, restaurants and public art to enjoy.
And lest the reports of rising fuel costs dampen your wanderlust plans, here’s good news: We at Cebu Pacific have permanently slashed our domestic fares by as much as 32%! So don’t think twice about pointing your browser to www.cebupacificair.com to book your tickets right now.
The toughest decision is choosing where to go. Let’s heed the wisdom of the great Robert Louis Stevenson, who once said, “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.”
So sit back, buckle up, and happy moving!
