Takeshi Kaneshiro – EVA Air I See You commercial

June 26, 2013 by Yein Jee

Japanese-Taiwanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro is featured in the latest commercial and marketing campaign for EVA Air (I always thought it’s pronounced as a single word “eva” instead of E-V-A) which was filmed in Taiwan, Japan and France.

The CF is available in three languages (English, Chinese, Japanese)…

Taiwan offers The Best Trip in The World

June 17, 2009 by Yein Jee

Taiwan tourism bureau is trying to emulate the buzz of the Best Job in The World with their very own Best Trip in The World contest.

The participating teams (of at least two) will have to create a money-saving, yet creative four-day itinerary for a trip in Taiwan.

Taiwan and the best trip in the world

50 teams that come up with the best itineraries will be selected to execute their travel plan and share their stories with approx. $850 USD allowance provided. The teams will then stand the chance to win the $30,000 USD grand prize.

The idea is pretty much the same as their 2008 campaign, albeit a bit different with the prize money distribution; and off course, a new BEST blah blah theme.

Expiry date on June 30, contest opened to all nationalities if not mistaken; check its official website for details.
