TRAVELLIVE 01-2016
Dear Travllive’s readers, On these first days of New Year 2016, cheerful melodies of Tet have been played everywhere, marking the arrival of Lunar New Year. Lyrics of old traditional songs have their own power to call back my memories as if I was just a child happily singing the songs with my friends day by day when Tet was coming to town. When I was studying at university, I had two Tet each year, one for patients and the old in social protection centers and one for my family.

PACK LUGGAGE AND<br />
SELECT SUITABLE OUTFITS<br />
After finalizing the destination<br />
you are going to visit, you<br />
should choose suitable outfits<br />
depending on climate and<br />
geographical features of the<br />
location. Wide brimmed hat,<br />
swimsuit and sunscreen for<br />
sunny beaches; warm clothes,<br />
thick scarves, gloves and hiking<br />
shoes ... when visiting highlands<br />
to contemplate the beauty of<br />
blooming flowers. If you intend<br />
to visit your relatives during<br />
your trip, do not forget to<br />
wear elegant clothes. Bright<br />
colors such as red, yellow and<br />
orange will bring you more<br />
luck and happiness during the<br />
first days of the year.<br />
Bring personal documents such<br />
as ID cards, passports, and<br />
birth certificates for children<br />
and keep them safe during the<br />
trip. You can also get copies<br />
of these documents and keep<br />
them separately in case you<br />
misplace the originals. To<br />
ensure that your holiday will<br />
not be interrupted, you should<br />
bring some kinds of medicine<br />
for common illnesses. If you<br />
start your journey on the two<br />
first days of Tet, some snacks<br />
and drinks will be necessary<br />
since restaurants are likely to<br />
be closed during these days.<br />
FIND SOMEONE TO<br />
TAKE CARE OF YOUR<br />
HOUSE<br />
It would be better if you ask<br />
your relatives or neighbors<br />
to look after your house<br />
when your entire family is<br />
away. Switch off all electric<br />
devices and appliances in<br />
the kitchen before leaving.<br />
Give your phone number<br />
to your neighbor so that<br />
they can call you as soon<br />
as possible if something<br />
comes up.<br />
SEND YOUR PETS TO<br />
“HOTELS”<br />
Many families spend<br />
their Tet holiday visiting<br />
faraway destinations with<br />
long journeys. However,<br />
don’t forget that lovely<br />
puppies, cute cats and<br />
witty parrots also want to<br />
“enjoy the holiday” and<br />
need to be cared for. You<br />
can ask your friends to find<br />
reliable hotels for pets,<br />
veterinary clinics and pet<br />
centers. Cost, reliability<br />
and quality of service are<br />
the most important criteria<br />
to be considered. Prices<br />
will depend on your pets’<br />
weight and needs as well as<br />
how “fastidious” they are.<br />
Remember to book a place<br />
in advance as these “hotels”<br />
are often “full” during the<br />
holiday period.<br />
PREPARE TRANSPORTATION AND ACCOMMODATION<br />
During Tet holiday, there is a dramatic increase in the demand for<br />
transportation, air tickets, train tickets and hotels . You had better plan<br />
your holiday with details such as times and places. Buy tickets and book<br />
hotels in advance to ensure reasonable prices. You can visit ivivu.com and<br />
other charismatic comparison websites to enhance your choices. Do not<br />
miss chances to enjoy privileges offered by hotels and resorts this season.<br />
We wish you a happy Tet holiday with memorable experiences.<br />
