Get Out Of The Dot with Zuji!
If you travel often, Zuji is definitely not a foreign name to most of us travelers. Zuji recently launched his interesting campaign called ‘Get Out Of The Dot‘ for Singaporean travellers to…well, get out of the dot! The great thing about Zuji is that – they do the research for you, just click away!
Looking around me, I really can’t think of anyone who doesn’t like to travel. The only reason why we are unable to is probably because – too many places, too little money and time! But think about it, we have a whole lifetime to slog away so the more we should steal some time to enjoy life! Need more excuses to convince yourself to get a trip out of the dot? Here’s top three reasons that I thought of..
1) SIANgapore : There’s only SO MUCH (sarcasm) we can do here in Singapore. What’s your regular day out like? Shopping and eating and people-watching at a cafe while trying not to look like a pervert. Yes, we do have cool places like Sentosa, Universal Studios, Singapore Flyer, the zoo..bird park…but seriously, how many times can you visit these places?

2) Learn about us: Traveling is the best time to learn about yourself and the people you’re traveling with! Look at how the ‘true color’ of people surfaces on reality TV shows such as Amazing Race. You will find strengths and weaknesses (probably being direction blind for me) and expand your reality. As the saying goes,all reality expands when you expand your reality. Traveling offers this ‘reborn’ experience for us and you return to Singapore feeling refreshed.

3) Culture Shock, not!: Singaporeans are often portrayed as spoiled brats and taking things for granted. It is time to step out and see how lucky we are in this beautiful island! Do something you’ve never done before – be crazy when you’re overseas! (I have always secretly wanted to try skinny dipping..haha) Learn about others’ culture so you can be a student of the world instead of just a Singaporean! Embrace the culture in a new culture and live in it.
Here’s the (even more) interesting part, I am asked to nominate 3 Singaporeans to get out of the dot..

Barbarella should Get Out of the Dot. I would send her to London to satisfy her Sarong Party (parties?)
Like how ZUJI puts it, Catch a glimpse of the French romance. Or get taken for a ride in London. I’m quite sure Barbarella would love to get taken for a ride in London *coughs* You know, horse riding lessons in Hyde Park in central London.

Furryphotos should Get Out of the Dot. (and not come back? haha) I would love to send him to Cottonwood, Idaho for some furry business!
Since I have to nominate someone else to get out of the dot instead of myself, I think he is the best person to visit this place ‘Dog Bark Park Inn‘ on my behalf! It is an awesome (and world’s biggest) beagle-looking bed and breakfast guesthouse. To be honest, I didn’t know where on earth is Idaho until I googled it. See! That’s the reason why we need to travel more to widen our knowledge!
Last but not least, I would love to send my parents (ok, I’m cheated..that’s two people) to Honolulu for some sunshine.
Not that we don’t have enough sun on this red dot here but we lack a beautiful beach like Waikiki beach! Did you know that President Obama and Bruno Mars are also residents of Honolulu? Pretty cool eh?
By the way, you can still join in the fun by:
- Checking out ZUJI’s FB page ! I love their ‘Get Lucky’ tab.
- Follow ZUJI Twitter who might just offer you some unique opportunities to get out of the dot!
Now I’m really itching to go on a holiday!
