Here’s our 16-year old Charity Ambassador- Mei Yen, also known as Jojo. The picture above is taken while Mei Yen is working as a volunteer at SPCA Penang. Find more about SPCA Penang at their website www.spca-penang.net
Besides taking care of homeless animals, Jojo is also interested in shopping, blogging, photography and music. She’s also a vegetarian “most of the time”, as she also eat a bit of fish from time to time.
During an email interview, Lim said ,”I am particularly passionate about animal rights so the reason why I’d like to join and become a charity ambassador is the help increase animal awareness among us and all help spread the word. I believe animals deserve to be treated well and I am very against animal abuse.”
Featured above is Barbara, who has recently joined the a4trip Team as a proofreader. She’s now 76 years old, and her birthday is on the 20th of October. Bookmark that in your calendar!
When it comes to good food, Barbara said. “I LOVE having my meals cooked and served by somebody else!”

Hmm, bet you guys didn’t know what I’m about to publish in this post right? Well, if you look closely at the title above.. Our great marketing team here at a4trip has been working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 12 months a year.. Okay okay.. I’m getting carried away already! The fact is, they are doing all they can to make sure a4trip is one of the best Online Travel Guides on major search engines like Google and Yahoo!
I haven’t been keeping myself quiet either as I’ve been secretly tweaking a4trip and hopefully increasing our future visitors from Windows Live Search too~ Looks like I am able to help a4trip improve a little bit on the marketing side as the result shows that with certain keywords like the one above, we rank 5 out of a maximum of 5 on Windows Live Search alone~
With this result, I felt much more passionate than ever before~
So, “Ganbatte” everyone on making a4trip a cool place to obtain Travel Guides!

| Choi from Korea |
|

After receiving Choi’s SMS that he’d just touched down in Malaysia, the team begin to schedule their plans to meet up with the man.
After a spine-tingling ride (from PJ to KL in less than 15 minutes), Pin and Marcus managed to catch Choi in Tune Hotel at around 10:40 pm. A few weeks back, due to heavy traffic and a little miscommunications, Marcus & Eisen missed the opportunity to meet up with Choi on his brief visit to Malaysia.
This time round, not only did Pin and Marcus “surrounded” Choi with their warm Malaysia-style welcome (which also means being late for 8 minutes), they also managed to convince Choi to try out the popular Malaysian bevearage- Teh Tarik, translated literally as “Pull Tea”.
Apart from translationg the Guidebooks from English to Korean, Choi will also add additional insights for his Korean readers to make the Guidebooks more relevant. Choi stayed in Vietnam for more than 10 years and he is been actively traveling around South East Asia.

| Featuring 2 Youngest a4friends |
|
June 3rd, 2008 |
|

Being an a4friend isn’t always about grown ups, macho-ness and puberty. Age really doesn’t matter! Few months back, 2 youngest member of the team came out crying to the world, screaming aloud & looking forward to see their 1st panda bear. Introducing.. the young and dynamic duo of~
Dylan Ong Chen Xi with mummy Wanching Lee. Apart from being in charged of a4friend’s operations, Wanching was going through months of restricted caffeine consumption and resisting ecological wine. Soon, Dylan burst into the world and went straight into his youtube baby suit.
Next on, Tan Ee Sean, with eyes that welcomes u to his world of mushyness. We are not the only 1 saying this as the “Little Prince” has won several awards! Check him out at his blog. This is a loving example of how Mummy Peiwun could be balancing so well on writing a4trip’s Hanoi travel guide while fostering motherly bonds with her baby.
With good and healthy organic food and nurturing, Dylan and Sean will be the generation 2.0 of a4friends.
For those wondering, yes, a4friends could be your next platform to find and “produce” the next youngest a4friend! But we hold no responsibility and promises, join us and u’ll find out more yourself!

Good design is more subtle. Which explains why we believe travelers is the most important factor when we design the system for a4trip. The best thing about our design is… less pages to get things done.
We spend hours, weeks and months to remove shopping cart (yes, sounds crazy!), support right-to-left in Arabic languages… all to make our Cambodia e-Visa service easier. The result was loved by Barbara.
