TRAVELLIVE 04-2016

Istanbul, the first days of spring… I’m warming myself in the sun on a café’s balcony in the Old Town. The sunbeams are as stunning as the fine strands of newly reeled silk. Meanwhile the old oak trees give their morning greeting to the glossy stone road as their red-brown leaves gently fall. The Old Town is still half-asleep, like a lazy girl who’s turned off her alarm after ringing the first time. Sunlight visits each street, dancing happily on passers-by’s shoulders, making the atmosphere more intimate to me – the traveler’s first time here. I feel more amorous in Istanbul. I’m enchanted by everything, from sweet lokum to the light sour ice-cream with ground ice on top, or from the gorgeous domes of hundreds of mosques and palaces to their uniquely designed windows, and from the discreet eyes of Muslim girls to the multitude of boards and posters with the images of Besiktas – the city’s legendary football team. I have fallen in love with Bosphorus Bay since the first time seeing the seagulls hovering in the open sky, creating invisible strings that connect the two continents – Asia and Europe. The clear blue sky is reflected on the deep blue sea, giving me tranquility. I drop my last Lira into the water of the Bosphorus, not to make a wish, but in hopes that they will preserve my memories here. And somehow, the water currents might bring them somewhere else to be found by me again, or might accidentally be stumbled upon by a boy who is playing with sand on a sunny beach. Tomorrow, I will go to Grand Bazzar, buy some postcards, and write something to leave beneath the sun near a mosque before sending them to some friends of mine. I do hope that these postcards, together with the coins, will inspire and attract more visitors to this land. Uhm… will you come there?

Turkey is<br />

an endless<br />

inspiration.<br />

Come and<br />

experience<br />

this mythical<br />

land.<br />

Istanbul, the first days of spring...<br />

I’m warming myself in the sun on a cafä’s<br />

balcony in the Old Town. In the stunning<br />

sunbeams, the old oak trees give their morning<br />

greeting to the stone road as their red-brown<br />

leaves gently fall. The Old Town is still halfasleep.<br />

Sunlight visits each street, dancing<br />

happily on passers-by’s shoulders, making the<br />

atmosphere more intimate to travelers.<br />

I feel more amorous in Istanbul. I’m enchanted<br />

by everything, from sweet lokum to the light<br />

sour ice-cream with ground ice on top, from<br />

the gorgeous domes of hundreds of mosques<br />

and palaces to their uniquely designed windows,<br />

and from the discreet eyes of Muslim girls to<br />

the multitude of boards and posters with the<br />

images of the city’s legendary football team.<br />

I have fallen in love with Bosphorus Bay since<br />

the first time seeing the seagulls hovering in the<br />

open sky, creating invisible strings that connect<br />

Asia and Europe. The blue sky is reflected on<br />

the deep blue sea, giving me tranquility. I drop<br />

my last Lira into the water of the Bosphorus,<br />

in hopes that they will preserve my memories<br />

here. And somehow, the water currents might<br />

bring them somewhere else to be found by<br />

me again, or might be stumbled upon by a boy<br />

who is playing with sand on a sunny beach.<br />

Tomorrow, I will go to Grand Bazzar, buy<br />

some postcards, and write something to<br />

leave beneath the sun near a mosque before<br />

sending them to my friends, hoping that they<br />

will be inspired to visit this land. Uhm... will you<br />

come here?<br />

SOFTAIL SLIM®S<br />

The Harley-Davidson Softail Slim® S is a perfect combination between the bobber style of the 1940s<br />

and the power of a High Output Twin Cam 103 TM engine. The powerful CVO engine has been<br />

upgraded without any significant weight gain, substantially boosting the power-to-weight ratio of the<br />

Softail Slim® S, so riders can feel the high performance of the bike more easily after each stage of running.<br />

With the reasonable seat height, the Softail Slim® S is the cool model that many Harley-Davidson fans have<br />

been waiting for. The Softail Slim® S is now available in Vietnam at the rate of VND 997,900,000.<br />

CAPTAIN AMERICA:<br />

CIVIL WAR<br />

In the latest installment of Captain<br />

America - Civil War, the government<br />

wants to install a system of<br />

accountability, headed by a governing<br />

body to oversee and direct the<br />

Avengers. The new status quo fractures<br />

the Avengers, resulting in two camps,<br />

one led by Steve Rogers (Captain<br />

America) and his desire for the Avengers<br />

to remain free to defend humanity<br />

without government interference,<br />

and the other following Tony Stark's<br />

surprising decision to support<br />

government oversight and accountability.<br />

WHEN BREATH<br />

BECOMES AIR<br />

When Breath Becomes<br />

Air is a memoir written<br />

by a neurosurgeon, Paul<br />

Kalanithi, before he died<br />

from lung cancer at the<br />

age of 36. Through his<br />

words, readers can see<br />

his efforts to struggle<br />

against the disease while<br />

saving others' lives in the<br />

operating room and his feelings upon<br />

holding his child for the first time. In<br />

the face of death, Kalanithi wrestles to<br />

answer the question "what makes life<br />

worth living?". When Breath Becomes Air<br />

is now on the best-seller lists of many<br />

popular magazines.<br />

MORNING<br />

IN THE MOUNTAINS<br />

Morning in the Mountains is a solo exhibition of mixed media paintings by Hanoi-based artist<br />

Nguyen The Hung. Born and raised in the north-eastern corner of Vietnam, much of Nguyen<br />

The Hung's work is influenced by the cultures and traditions of the many ethnic minority<br />

groups that populate the mountains of his native region. Perhaps best known for his use of do paper<br />

in his earlier collections, the twelve works of Hung's Morning in the Mountains collection are an<br />

experimental combination of various styles including action painting, do paper, traditional lacquer<br />

painting, and vibrant contemporary art colorations. Hung took special care in reproducing each<br />

pattern and accessory on the traditional clothing of the ethnic groups depicted. The pure beauty of<br />

children, charming smiles of young girls, and the simple beauty of locals are emotionally reflected.<br />

the city on 7 hills<br />

We arrived at Istanbul Ataturk Airport one<br />

early morning. Dorak, our tour guide (from<br />

a big domestic travel agency) was waiting for<br />

us. After exchanging some money, we left the<br />

airport, got on the bus, passed the Turkish<br />

Airline’s headquarters and traveled to the city.<br />

Istanbul is bathed in sunlight; the sky’s hue<br />

is an unbelievably deep blue without a single<br />

cloud. Strolling about the city’s myriad of<br />

alleyways, you will encounter numerous<br />

architectural styles that were popular in<br />

different stages of the city’s history. Istanbul<br />

was built on 7 hills, and each one offers a<br />

different perspective of the skyline with the<br />

domes of mosques and towers emerging<br />

from the labyrinthine streets. The city’s<br />

countenance changes drastically as our bus<br />

goes up and down.<br />

The legend - the Bosphorus<br />

After a 15-hour flight from HCMC,<br />

I was quite amazed at the energy I<br />

felt upon touching down. Perhaps<br />

the reasonable flight time and<br />

Raki (Turkish vodka) served by<br />

Turkish Airline during dinner helped me to<br />

sleep tight. Thus, upon checking-in at my<br />

hotel, I was eager to begin my first sally into<br />

this legendary city.<br />

It’s regrettable if you miss the chance to take<br />

a cruise along the Bosphorus strait. In spite<br />

of considerable traffic, the strait leading to<br />

the Golden Horn is sublime. On one side of<br />

the strait is a bay with a seaside park where<br />

you can see parents playing with their kids<br />

in the grass on windy afternoons. Here, I<br />

came across some people fishing and a father<br />

swimming with his little boys while their dog<br />

barked joyfully on the beach. On the opposite<br />

side is an ancient wall which stretches along<br />

the strait, and we can find the occasional cafä<br />

nestled at its foot. The unique houses perfectly<br />

blend Asian and European colors, and detailed<br />

mouldings stand near each other behind the<br />

wall. The towering minarets of mosques are<br />

the most prominent feature of the skyline.<br />

For about 25 liras, you can take a 2 - hour<br />

cruise along the Bosphorus Strait. There you<br />

may float along the line dividing Asia and<br />

Europe. You may traverse this threshold in<br />

a matter of minutes by taking the ferry or<br />

crossing one of the three bridges spanning the<br />

continents.<br />

The Golden Horn must be the most bustling<br />

and gorgeous area in Istanbul. It’s where<br />

you see the most obvious cultural exchanges.<br />

Due to its strategic location, the Golden<br />

Horn has been a major harbor as it is the<br />

sole sea route connecting the Black Sea with<br />

the Mediterranean Sea. I got on a boat at<br />

6p.m and departed from the Galata pier. The<br />

sunlight began to fade and was replaced by a<br />

chilly breeze. Luckily, I was served with a cup<br />

of hot apple tea. The effect was transcendental.<br />

I don’t feel like I’ve ever savored such sweet<br />

and fragrant tea before.<br />

It’s hard to express all feelings I had when<br />

traveling along the Bosphorus at sunset.<br />

It had all the makings of a scene from a<br />

romantic Hollywood travel film. The boat<br />

quickly skimmed over the blue sea when the<br />

sun began to set, throwing its last glorious<br />

rays of light upon the antique mansions and<br />

magnificent castles along the bay. Flocks of<br />

gulls were hovering above the fortress on the<br />

European side, shrieking and beating their<br />

wings as though fighting to keep the red sun<br />

from sinking into the sea. To end the day,<br />

I enjoyed dinner at Sur Balik, a restaurant<br />

on the hillside. The terrace commands a<br />

panoramic view of the Bosphorus which is<br />

worth your money. If you want some food at<br />

a reasonable price, then visit the F&B area<br />

under the Galata Bridge. This is also a popular<br />

place with visitors and the best place to take<br />

a selfie with the background of sunset on<br />

Golden Horn.<br />

Istanbul<br />

was built<br />

on 7 hills,<br />

and each<br />

one offers<br />

a different<br />

perspective<br />

of the<br />

skyline.<br />

When you travel to Istanbul, don’t forget to visit Karadeniz Doner Büfesi,<br />

one of the five most famous Kebab restaurants in this ancient city.<br />

Established in 1973 near the Besiktas market, you can’t miss Karadeniz<br />

Doner B¸fesi because of the crowds of people lining up in front. Locals<br />

often joke that the crowd looks like the line for season tickets to Besiktas<br />

FC games - the biggest Turkish football club. For those who don’t already<br />

know, Doner kebabs are meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. In Turkish,<br />

“doner” means spinning and “kebab” means grilled meat.<br />

The sliced meat is served with bread and a selection of<br />

sauces. Every moment brings excitement, from watching<br />

the big inverted cone of meat turning slowly upon a<br />

vertical rotisserie and hearing the sound of meat roasting<br />

on the fire to savoring some pieces of the mouthwatering<br />

hot meat in a salad.<br />

“Can’t leave without visiting”<br />

Istanbul is renowned for several things<br />

such as being the largest European<br />

city (at more than 5,000km2),<br />

standing toe to toe among the world’s<br />

most populous cities (with 14 million<br />

people), and being the world’s sole<br />

transcontinental city. As a person<br />

who loves architecture, religious and<br />

cultural tradition, I was fascinated by every<br />

corner of this city. It’s no easy task to count<br />

the number of mosques in Istanbul and<br />

differentiate them from each other. Each<br />

mosque is a magnificent work sharing two<br />

features: distinctive domes and towering<br />

minarets. Numerous architectural works<br />

from various periods and cultures appear<br />

along some of the streets I visited. This is<br />

no surprise as Istanbul is a 2,000-year-old<br />

city and served as an imperial capital during<br />

the Roman, Byzantine, and the Ottoman<br />

periods.<br />

On Istanbul’s tourist map, the most<br />

highlighted architectural sites are clustered<br />

at the head of the peninsula adjacent to the<br />

Golden Horn and where the Bosphorus<br />

meets Marmara Sea. I spent a whole day just<br />

checking out the destinations on the map<br />

with the tag “can’t leave without visiting”.<br />

Hippodrome<br />

The journey started at the Hippodrome<br />

which was built in AD 203 by the Roman<br />

Emperor Septimius Severus with a capacity<br />

up to 40,000 people. Nowadays, only a few<br />

monuments such as the Egyptian obelisk<br />

carved from a single piece of stone and<br />

Serpentin column remain in this square. It’s<br />

just some minutes away from here to the two<br />

famous mosques - a couple of humanity’s<br />

most beautiful architectural works.<br />

Blue Mosque -<br />

Sultanamet Cami<br />

Built from 1609 to 1616 during the rule<br />

of Ahmed I (Ottoman Empire), the Sultan<br />

Ahmed Mosque, popularly known as the Blue<br />

Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls<br />

of its interior, is still open and allows visitors<br />

to come in through a private entrance. Guests<br />

are required to dress discreetly and politely,<br />

and women must wear a headscarf provided<br />

at the entrance. You may take photos both<br />

inside and outside the mosque, but it’s quite<br />

inconvenient as you have to carry your shoes in<br />

your hands during your visit. The space inside<br />

the mosque is as large as a town square and<br />

full of the whispers of surprised guests. The<br />

most impressive things are the huge domes<br />

which are both separate and intertwined.<br />

Sophisticated patterns on the ceiling and<br />

pillars sparkle when the natural light enters<br />

through hundreds of passages. Although I’m<br />

not a follower, I did feel the spiritual existence<br />

of God while admiring the vivid light passing<br />

through colored glass.<br />

Hagia Sophia (Aya Sofya)<br />

Opposite to the Blue Mosque is Hagia Sophia,<br />

the former Byzantine basilica with nearly<br />

1500 years of history and the subject of<br />

countless legends. This mosque in particular<br />

and Istanbul in general has been described<br />

in lively and colorful detail in The Historian<br />

by Elizabeth Kostova - an acclaimed book<br />

which has sold 28 million copies. This<br />

mosque represents the complex relationship<br />

between Christianity and Islam. Before being<br />

remodeled as the imperial mosque in 1453,<br />

Hagia Sophia was the seat of the Patriarch of<br />

Constantinople for nearly a thousand years.<br />

Visiting Hagia Sophia has been on my wish list<br />

for a long time. Outside the mosque is a large<br />

square with a beautiful fountain and long chairs<br />

for visitors to take a short rest. There is also<br />

a courtyard shaded by giant trees and a lawn<br />

displaying ancient sculptures excavated on the<br />

premise. I can hardly describe my wonderment<br />

as I stood inside gazing upon the mosaics and<br />

the umber-colored stone walls. The architecture<br />

and the däcor are so majestic, gorgeous, and<br />

magnificent! The monolithic pillars, walls, and<br />

floor feature a marvelous display of colors and<br />

patterns. Great aesthetic style is represented by<br />

harmoniously arranged stones.<br />

Go upstairs to the second floor for a wider look<br />

at the mosque. From that position, you can also<br />

see two beautiful rows of columns, the giant<br />

central dome with sophisticated mosaic motifs,<br />

and ceiling frescoes depicting holy scenes. These<br />

frescoes and other features of Christianity were<br />

removed or obscured when the Ottoman Empire<br />

converted the church into a mosque. It remained<br />

a mosque until 1931 until it was re-opened in 1935<br />

as a museum by the Republic of Turkey. Hagia<br />

Sophia is now home to many valuable art works.<br />

I couldn’t help but feel reflective while standing<br />

beneath the marble columns and thinking of the<br />

empires, conflicts, and battles of the past.<br />

There are hundreds of interesting things in<br />

Istanbul that I wish to experience. I spent my little<br />

time strolling down some streets and wandering<br />

along subtly sloped lanes, guessing into and<br />

searching for their architectural riddles. When<br />

the burden of my camera became too heavy to<br />

bear and my feet were unable to walk anymore,<br />

I stopped at a beautiful cafä at the corner of a<br />

lane. Charming boys and girls were relaxing to<br />

enjoy their ice-cream and pastries. I occasionally<br />

entered in a shop, gazed at some unique souvenirs<br />

to add to my “travel collection”. There is an array<br />

of things to buy yet I had already spent most of<br />

my money on old postcards, old stamps, and<br />

landscape paintings of Istanbul’s past.<br />

You might be wondering what the most vexing<br />

part of my journey to Istanbul was. That would<br />

be the kebabs - the famed Turkish wrap. It took<br />

me lots of time to decide which type of kebab<br />

to order as there are dozens of kebabs served at<br />

a traditional restaurant. And upon choosing, I<br />

regretted not choosing others.<br />

Choosing is always difficult when we are<br />

surrounded by so many attractive options!

Istanbul is located on the<br />

Silk Road and commerce<br />

has developed for thousands<br />

of years into an art in<br />

itself. Most merchants<br />

in Turkey are male and<br />

very professional, but this<br />

is especially the case in<br />

Istanbul. After some small<br />

talk, they will invite you in<br />

for tea. They rarely give you<br />

a price for their wares but<br />

assert the quality of their<br />

goods first.<br />

weekend, the square is always<br />

full of people. You can find<br />

all styles from any wellknown<br />

brand. Apart from<br />

luxury products, you can buy<br />

high-quality Turkish textile<br />

goods at reasonable prices.<br />

This is also a popular place<br />

for locals to enjoy shopping<br />

on weekends and holidays.<br />

Besides Grand Bazaar and<br />

Taksim Square, you should<br />

visit the Spice Bazaar<br />

(Egyptian Market)<br />

Grand Bazaar<br />

The Grand Bazaar is the<br />

world’s oldest and largest<br />

market. It is home to more<br />

than 4000 stalls which<br />

attract 250,000 - 400,000<br />

guests each day. With 21<br />

gates on 60 streets, the<br />

Grand Bazaar is a labyrinth<br />

and a huge attraction<br />

for shoppers, especially<br />

those who love collecting<br />

decorations and handicrafts.<br />

You can find everything<br />

here, from luxurious brand<br />

names and premium goods<br />

to ordinary items like spices,<br />

dried fruits, confectioneries,<br />

decorative tiles, belly dance<br />

outfits, handmade rugs,<br />

jewelry, and you name it.<br />

Every product is colorful and<br />

attractive and every seller is<br />

friendly and professional.<br />

What to buy in<br />

Istanbul:<br />

ü Souvenirs, traditional<br />

handicrafts, spices, dried<br />

fruit, and especially ceramics,<br />

carpets, felt coat, and leather<br />

jacket.<br />

ü Turkish Delight is a<br />

popular type of candy<br />

bought by visitors as a gift<br />

for family and friends.<br />

Shopping tips:<br />

ü Don’t try to bargain<br />

before considering product’s<br />

quality and comparing<br />

prices among different stalls.<br />

When you decide to buy<br />

something, start dealing at<br />

30% of the price offered by<br />

the seller.<br />

To buy carpets and<br />

ceramics<br />

ü Turkish carpets and<br />

ceramics are famous<br />

worldwide for their quality<br />

and sophisticated patterns.<br />

They are popularly sold<br />

in Istanbul and other<br />

tourist cities. However,<br />

their prices are different in<br />

different shops, depending<br />

on their size, quality, level<br />

of sophistication, and<br />

production time as well as<br />

your ability to bargain.<br />

ü A handmade carpet<br />

woven from silk yarn can<br />

take 2 women 2 years. A<br />

good quality carpet can cost<br />

from hundreds of dollars to<br />

thousands of dollars (with<br />

warranty and shipping).<br />

Ceramics share the same<br />

prices and sales regime.<br />

THE MYTHICAL LAND<br />

While Istanbul is well known for magnificent man-made works,<br />

Cappadocia is a majestic work of Mother Nature.<br />

Recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site in<br />

1985, Cappadocia attracts millions of visitors each year.<br />

There are two airports here, one in the Northeast and<br />

one in Northwest of Goreme, Cappadocia’s regional<br />

capital. It takes only a little over an hour to fly from<br />

Istanbul to Cappadocia. However, I decided to fly from<br />

Istanbul to Ankara then took a bus from Ankara to<br />

Cappadocia as I wanted to visit the tombs and museum<br />

of Ataturk, the revolutionary leader credited as the<br />

founder of modern Turkey.<br />

Before arriving in Cappadocia, I stopped at Lake Tuz<br />

(Salt Lake) - a unique natural destination in Turkey.<br />

Lake Tuz is not only a famous destination but also<br />

produces many of the ingredients for making cosmetics<br />

and around 65% of the salt consumed in Turkey.<br />

Lying in the central Anatolian plateau, Cappadocia is<br />

famous for its unusual rock formations, the result of<br />

volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. As the rock<br />

below the top layer of basalt is extremely soft, it can be<br />

easily carved. Earthquakes and continuing erosion have<br />

contributed to form the today’s landscape. The land<br />

has become a famous destination thanks to not only its<br />

special geographical features but also its cultural and<br />

historic heritage which has remained completely intact.<br />

Cappadocia is like a forgotten fairyland separated from<br />

the modern world. The pristine beauty of the arid<br />

plateau and peaceful way of life here are the greatest<br />

draw to this area. The locals’ lives are rustic and simple.<br />

Their primary occupations are farming, producing and<br />

selling handicrafts, and providing tourism services.<br />

Being somewhat timid, they rarely go out of their<br />

residences, but they are very friendly and hospitable.<br />

To protect themselves from the extreme<br />

weather (high temperatures and

strong winds in summer, heavy<br />

snow in winter), locals have<br />

carved their houses into stone<br />

pillars. Many houses, churches,<br />

and in fact the whole city was<br />

built in that way in the Roman<br />

period. Nowadays, these buildings<br />

are still around but most of them<br />

are being used for tourism. Cave<br />

hotels are are a favorite among<br />

travelers in Cappadocia.<br />

From my point of view, you<br />

should spend at least 3 days<br />

exploring the three main areas of<br />

Cappadocia.<br />

Central Cappadocia with the<br />

regional capital Goreme and<br />

neighboring towns like Uchisa,<br />

Cavusin, and Ugrup are always<br />

bustling with visitors from around<br />

the world. In each village, you<br />

can find numerous cave hotels,<br />

restaurants, souvenir shops, spas,<br />

Turkish baths, and mini-markets<br />

selling goods till midnight.<br />

Avanos village in particular,<br />

renowned for its tranquility, is the<br />

place where talented artists craft<br />

the most beautiful ceramics and<br />

hand-woven carpets in the world.<br />

The second area includes<br />

spectacular UNESCO heritage<br />

sites: the Pasabag Valley and<br />

Pigeon Valley. Pasaba means<br />

Pacha’s vineyard in Turkish. The<br />

place is also called Monks Valley<br />

because of its pillars which look<br />

like monks wearing medieval coat<br />

and hood. The Pigeon Valley is<br />

a valley of pigeons. Locals carve<br />

into stone to build houses for the<br />

pigeons to live and reproduce.<br />

The last area consists of heritage<br />

sites that embody the rich culture<br />

and long history of the land.<br />

They are underground cities<br />

- the invaluable assets preserved<br />

and strictly protected by the<br />

government.<br />

KAYMAKLI UNDERGROUND CITY, CHURCHES<br />

AND MONASTERIES<br />

Up to now, archaeologists have discovered 40 underground<br />

cities of various sizes in Cappadocia. The largest one is<br />

Kaymakli. Strange as it is, they divided separate living<br />

areas for each family within the community. Besides<br />

living rooms and bedrooms, kitchens, storage places,<br />

wine or oil presses, fitness areas, and public restrooms are also<br />

found here. They also had means of communication allowing them<br />

to transfer sounds between households and floors. The Kaymakli<br />

underground city features 8 floors with a simple but magical air<br />

system that ensured circulation. Currently, excavations are still<br />

being carried out. Experts estimate that there are more than 100<br />

underground cities in Cappadocia.<br />

While you can find hundreds of gorgeous mosques in Istanbul,<br />

Cappadocia is a Mecca of Christianity. Of all the relics and<br />

monuments here, the Goreme open-air museum is the first sight to<br />

be visited by any traveler in Cappadocia. The museum resembles a<br />

vast complex composed of monasteries, churches and chapels built<br />

in the early Middle Ages. All the works here were carved directly into<br />

the rock. From the monuments, visitors can imagine the asceticism<br />

and simplicity of the monks’ lives. In the complex of 30 churches and<br />

chapels, there are also many beautiful frescoes, relics, and remains of<br />

the monks who decided to dedicate themselves to God for eternity.<br />

SUNRISE FROM A HOT AIR BALLOON<br />

To contemplate completely the spectacular beauty of Cappadocia’s natural architecture, there<br />

is nothing better than joining a hot air balloon tour. For only 200-250 USD, you will have about<br />

1 hour to fly over this area. However simple it seems, it takes some luck to visit on a beautiful<br />

day as good weather is a compulsory condition for the hot air balloons to fly.<br />

The hotel’s alarm awakened me at<br />

4:30 am. It was still dark and cold.<br />

We traveled by bus from the hotel to<br />

the gathering place of KAPADOKYA<br />

BALLOONS Company in Goreme. It<br />

is a low-rise building designed like a<br />

mountain with a beautiful grapevine<br />

trellis and a large garden. About 60<br />

guests were waiting, having breakfast<br />

with tea, coffee, and cakes.<br />

20 minutes later, we continued<br />

traveling by bus to an empty lot.<br />

The sun was till asleep yet the dark<br />

gradually retreated. In the faint light of<br />

dawn, we could see dozens<br />

of giant balloons lying on<br />

the ground. They started<br />

heating the air to inflate the<br />

balloons. The atmosphere<br />

got bustling. When the<br />

first sun rays lighted the<br />

land, the huge colorful<br />

balloons, now filled with<br />

air, were ready for their next<br />

expeditions with their new guests. Each<br />

balloon can serve from 10 to 20 guests<br />

depending on its size. Navigating<br />

balloons isn’t a simple task at all. To<br />

operate a balloon in Cappadocia, about<br />

20 people have to work together for<br />

one hour.<br />

At 5:30 am, our balloon, started its<br />

fascinating journey. The pilot skillfully<br />

From the<br />

balloon,<br />

the cave<br />

cities<br />

look like<br />

enormous<br />

beehives<br />

adjusted the burner. The heat lifted<br />

the balloon into the sky and threaded<br />

through the craggy cliffs. Sometimes,<br />

I felt like I could touch the stones.<br />

Around us, other balloons were<br />

hovering beautifully. Thanks to good<br />

weather, there were about 200 balloons<br />

operating that day.<br />

After some minutes in the balloon,<br />

alternating between the mixed feeling<br />

of surprise, worry, and extreme<br />

excitement as this was my first time<br />

experiencing a hot air balloon, we<br />

sat down and silently admired the<br />

magical beauty of Cappadocia<br />

at sunrise.<br />

The majestic stone plateau<br />

appeared endless below us.<br />

From a height of 600m,<br />

you get a panoptic view of<br />

how the plateau was formed<br />

millions of years ago with<br />

cracks, fractures and rock<br />

layers formed by lava. Somewhere<br />

are stone columns which have been<br />

eroded by rains, winds, and sea<br />

water. They stand like mushrooms<br />

and are called monks since they are<br />

shaped like monks in their robes and<br />

hood. After a half an hour of flying,<br />

the balloon started to descend so<br />

that visitors could get a closer look at<br />

Cappadocia’s wonders.<br />

MR TR¡N DUY NAM<br />

FOUNDER OF PIXEL<br />

PHOTOGRAPHY<br />

After your trip to Turkey,<br />

what do you think about<br />

the country? What<br />

impressed you the most?<br />

I’m mesmerized by<br />

everything in Turkey. The<br />

traditions and religions<br />

blend harmoniously with<br />

the speed of modern life.<br />

Man-made works do not<br />

make the landscape less<br />

beautiful. The combination<br />

of Asian and European<br />

culture is reflected in<br />

people, cuisine, and even<br />

in the weather. If time<br />

allowed, my journey to<br />

explore that combination<br />

would have resulted in the<br />

stories within stories as in<br />

"One thousand and One<br />

Nights".<br />

Do you have any advice<br />

or recommendations for<br />

those who are planning<br />

to visit Turkey in the near<br />

future?<br />

Turkey is an endless<br />

inspiration. I just want<br />

to say that you mustn’t<br />

hesitate to visit this country.<br />

Prepare for your luggage<br />

and start your journey now!<br />

The most interesting<br />

part was seeing the<br />

cave cities where<br />

Cappadocia’s<br />

inhabitants used<br />

to live. Altogether, these<br />

cities formed an enormous<br />

architectural network<br />

with strong community<br />

connections. The expedition<br />

came to end after one hour. A<br />

champagne party was ready<br />

for the guests and the crew<br />

to celebrate and take photos.<br />

Before saying goodbye, the<br />

KAPADOKYA BALLOONS<br />

Company gave us a surprise<br />

by presenting each guest a<br />

certificate of having FLOWN<br />

IN A HOT AIR BALLOON.<br />

How funny it was hearing<br />

the company’s representative<br />

reading our Vietnamese<br />

names. Of course, we made<br />

all efforts to listen and realize<br />

that he was calling us. Our<br />

fancinasting trip - a wonderful<br />

experience, ended with smiles<br />

and big hugs.<br />

TurkIsH DelIGHT<br />

I’m not sure whether you would like this kind of hotel as<br />

much as I did, but for me, the cave hotels are very unique.<br />

As mentioned, Cappadocia is an area of soft stone formed<br />

by volcanic lava, and locals have carved their homes into the<br />

mountains for years. The hotel’s special style was inspired<br />

by these cave houses.<br />

Late afternoon, I arrived at the town of Uchisar, an attraction<br />

in Cappadocia and stayed at the Uchisar Kaya Hotel - one<br />

of the first cave hotels there. In 1960, local artists carved<br />

the stone and built this hotel into the mountain overlooking<br />

the Guvercinlik valley. The hotel’s lobby is small, pretty and<br />

decorated in a local style with traditional patterned carpets.<br />

Visitors can enjoy free fresh apples at the receptionist area.<br />

The sole path leading to guest rooms is a set of stairs leading<br />

to long and narrow rock corridors.<br />

Unlike what we had thought, the hotel is quite large with<br />

many rooms. All rooms feature a great view, overlooking<br />

either the swimming pool or the beautiful valley. The<br />

terrace and outdoor swimming pool are ideal places to relax,<br />

read books, savor tea, or just simply enjoy the fresh air.<br />

Meanwhile, the balcony is the best place to contemplate the<br />

sunrise in the valley. The hotel’s design and interior imitates<br />

the rustic local style. Everything from the walls, floors, and<br />

stairs to the inner paths are made of stone, which inspires<br />

deep contentment when touching it.<br />

End your day by enjoying Turkish bath therapies at the<br />

hotel’s spa. Then, curl up in a warm bed at this special cave<br />

hotel. How relaxed you can feel!<br />

If France is the land of wine, gelato<br />

belongs to Italy, and Belgium is<br />

famous for chocolate, Turkish<br />

Delight (Lokum) is the pride of<br />

Turkey. Turkish Delight is not merely<br />

bought by visitors as gifts for friends<br />

and family but is also a delicious<br />

snack providing “sweet energy” for<br />

when you explore the country. With<br />

the advantage of having diverse and<br />

abundant fruit, Cappadocia is home<br />

to many kinds of Turkish Delight.<br />

To make this signature dish, mix<br />

starch, sugar, dried fruits, nuts, and<br />

honey. Long bars of Turkish delight<br />

are cooled down and a thick layer<br />

of powdered sugar is sprinkled on<br />

top. Visit a Turkish Delight shop and<br />

get lost in the maze of fruits. The<br />

A NIGHT IN A CAVE HOTEL<br />

something about the cave hotels in Cappadocia captured me.<br />

After a long time working in Vietnam (2012 - <strong>2016</strong>), what do you think<br />

about the attractiveness of the Vietnamese tourist market to the services<br />

of Turkish Airlines?<br />

We have surveyed European travel agents regarding the project of the<br />

direct route to Vietnam. Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies<br />

in the world. The number of Vietnamese travelers is increasing sharply,<br />

and the Vietnam-Europe market is growing very fast. Turkish Airlines is<br />

right in the middle of this big potential. Turkish Airlines demonstrates its<br />

desire to work with Vietnam by opening a new direct flight to Hanoi and a<br />

non-stop flight to HCMC beginning June 27 th , <strong>2016</strong>. We do believe that our<br />

new product will match with travelling needs of people in Hanoi and Ho<br />

Chi Minh City. Hanoians will get good chance to take non-stop flight to any<br />

destinations around the world on Turkish Airlines.<br />

Turkey is considered a gateway for Asian travelers<br />

(including Vietnamese ones) to explore Europe.<br />

Does Turkish Airlines have any special programs<br />

for tourist groups flying with Turkish Airlines to<br />

other European countries?<br />

At this moment, we are introducing promotions for<br />

all people who have plans to travel to Europe from<br />

July to September at very reasonable prices. Our<br />

customers can contact us at any Turkish Airlines<br />

agency, Turkish Airlines office, or visit our website<br />

at turkishairlines.com for more details. With the<br />

selected tour operators, our customers can also<br />

enjoy attractive programs with Turkish Airlines.<br />

What are some aspects of Turkish Airlines that make it stand out<br />

compared to those of other airlines, sir?<br />

Currently Turkish Airlines flies to more countries than any other airline<br />

with 113 countries and 287 destinations around the world and continues<br />

to grow. One thing that is remarkable about our services is that we offer<br />

customers a direct line between Vietnam and Istanbul which means that<br />

fliers won’t have to worry about a midnight transfer interrupting their<br />

sleep. Moreover, we have a flying Chef in the business cabin who serves<br />

award winning hot meals to passengers and that will make them feel like<br />

they are dining in a sky restaurant. Every year, Skytrax, the world’s most<br />

prestigious Air Travel Review and Airline Rating website conducts surveys<br />

about travelers’ satisfation with airlines to vote on their favorite. Over the<br />

past 5 years, Turkish Airlines has been voted the best airline in Europe.<br />

We would like to express our gratitude to our customers for supporting<br />

Turkish Airlines and to all our staff for this achievement.<br />

What are future plans of Turkish Airlines for the Asian market in<br />

general and Vietnam market in particular, sir?<br />

Now, our wings cover most Asian countries. Asia is the fastest growing<br />

economy and Vietnam is a rising star in Asia. The Cooperation Agreement<br />

signed between Turkish Airlines and Vietnam National Administration of<br />

Tourism at the Melia Hanoi Hotel on March 23 rd is a milestone for us to<br />

promote Vietnamese travel in Europe. We do believe thatTurkish Airlines’s<br />

contribution, as a global player, will trigger more global brands to turn their<br />

attention to Vietnam.<br />

Turkish Airlines has been listed as one of the 10 best airlines in the<br />

world, and the world’s fastest developing airline. Can you share the<br />

secrets of this success?<br />

Thank you for your sharing this information to readers, I think we have no<br />

special secrets for our success. We put ourselves in the passenger’s shoes<br />

in order to feel, understand, and serve them from bottom of our heart. We<br />

consider our staff as members of a big family.<br />

We wish Travellive more and more success and lots of love from all<br />

readers.<br />

Many thanks Mr. Ahmet Akpinar for spending time with Travellive.<br />

Istanbul is the first place in Europe I’ve ever visited. When I<br />

came here, spring had just arrived. Sunlight cover the streets<br />

with its sparkling yellow. I’ve heard somewhere that the best<br />

way to explore this city is by walking around. Therefore, I<br />

chose a soft and airy outfit clothes mixed with slip-ons so that<br />

I could enjoy walking around the large squares and strolling<br />

down every corner. A cardigan, which helped me keep warm<br />

when the winds came in the dark, was one of the most<br />

important items.<br />

Don't worry if you don't have the time and<br />

energy to invest in taking care trees and plants.<br />

All you need is a glass vase, some succulents,<br />

and echeverias, and you've got yourself a lovely<br />

"garden". This simple formula can lend your office,<br />

which is otherwise a bit stifling with the computers<br />

and air-conditioners, a little bit of green life.<br />

It's quite easy to create a "garden" in the glass vase:<br />

put some gravel in the vase. Then add a layer of sand,<br />

loamy soil, and a couple eye-catching plants. But your<br />

work hasn't finished yet, as the tiny plants in your<br />

"garden" demand that you do a little research about<br />

where they come from and how they bloom.<br />

However hearty they may be, these little friends will<br />

require bit of time as not all plants are compatible and<br />

require different watering regimens. Sometimes it's<br />

nice to put your tasks aside to check in on them from<br />

time to time see what they might need. Otherwise,<br />

they will leave for want of cool water during the hot<br />

summer days.<br />

When you truly love your "garden" and put<br />

your mind into each tiny bud, some fresh<br />

green plants can bring you more joy dispelling<br />

your fatigue and workplace stress. Take a<br />

lovely vase and start "gardening" now!<br />

Some useful tips for "gardening":<br />

- Hydrophilic plants: argyroderma patens<br />

- Plants which need an average amount of<br />

water: Haworthia cooperi, H. Cymbiformis,<br />

Echeverias, Aeonium canariense, white<br />

succulent.<br />

- Hydrophobic plants: Sedum, Dahlia,<br />

Haworthia cooperi with round leaves and<br />

Haworthia.<br />

- Keep succulents a bit separate from fittonia,<br />

howea forsteriana, mini juniper and other<br />

green plants.<br />

- Spread a layer of gravel at the bottom of the<br />

vase to combat flooding.<br />

- Soil and gravel should be as high as half a<br />

bottle to ensure both the vase's aesthetics<br />

and the length of the roots.<br />

If anyone asks me about my favorite summer food, my immediate answer will be<br />

chà (sweet soup), every type from hot to cold ones. How long have people enjoyed<br />

sweet soup? I don't know, but the mental images of my mother and grandmother<br />

preparing this simple dish for us or the sound of children calling their friends to<br />

share some chà after school will never fade.<br />

108<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

CHá CHUˇI COMBINES THE TASTES OF SWEET RIPE BANANA, GREASY<br />

COCONUT MILK, TOASTED PEANUTS, AND FRESH SHREDDED COCONUT. BOTH<br />

THE HOT AND COLD VERSIONS ARE SCRUMPTIOUS!<br />

I'm an adult now, and although<br />

I'm quite busy with work, I<br />

always manage to put aside<br />

some time to relive these<br />

childhood memories when summer<br />

comes around, like when I'm<br />

wandering around the Old Quarter<br />

and stop at a familiar restaurant to<br />

taste the flavors of my childhood.<br />

Winter is the time for chà sen, chÃ<br />

tr´i tµu, and chà con ong while chÃ<br />

cËm and chà th≠ng are for autumn.<br />

So what about summer, the best<br />

season to enjoy cold sweet soup?<br />

You have an array of them, from chÃ<br />

ÆÀu xanh, Chà ÆÀu Æen, chà buÎi, chË<br />

sen, and chà khoai to chà chuËi. And<br />

it doesn't matter if you want to seek<br />

a new experience by ordering a hot<br />

bowl of sweet soup during the hot<br />

summer days.<br />

You can try these dishes at<br />

CHá ßÜU XANH<br />

Chà ÆÀu xanh (Green bean sweet soup),<br />

one member in "the chà collection",<br />

always convinces me that green beans<br />

and coconut milk - its two main<br />

ingredients- were born to be together.<br />

The aromatic and lightly sweet green<br />

beans blend with the greasy taste<br />

of coconut milk, making the dish<br />

incredible delicious and sweet smelling.<br />

Enjoy a bowl of chà ÆÀu xanh with ice<br />

and forget all your fatigue on account of<br />

the heat.<br />

CHá CHUˇI<br />

Its simple name is derived from its<br />

main ingredient - banana. Chà chuËi<br />

(banana sweet soup) is prepared<br />

according to the traditional recipe.<br />

Chubby pale yellow bananas are peeled,<br />

cut into slices, marinated with a little<br />

sugar and salt, and then cooked with<br />

coconut milk. Chà chuËi combines the<br />

tastes of sweet ripe banana, greasy<br />

coconut milk, toasted peanuts, and<br />

fresh shredded coconut. Both the hot<br />

and cold versions are scrumptious!<br />

CHá ßÜU ßEN<br />

Chà ÆÀu Æen (sweet black bean soup)<br />

is a very popular Vietnamese dish.<br />

Actually, nothing cools your body better<br />

than black beans in the hot summer.<br />

It's the reason why no matter how<br />

many types of sweet soup we invent,<br />

chà ÆÀu Æen can be found in any<br />

menu. In the colorful world of mixed<br />

sweet soup, chà th∏i, chà khoai, and<br />

chà ÆÀu xanh; chà ÆÀu Æen remains a<br />

simple brown black. The soft cooked<br />

black beans with a little coconut milk,<br />

shredded coconut, and toasted peanuts<br />

are charming enough to entice your<br />

stomach.<br />

CHá THNG<br />

The greasy taste of coconut milk and<br />

the aroma of green beans are two<br />

signature features of chà th≠ng - a<br />

special sweet soup in the South. Its<br />

main ingredients include green beans,<br />

black mushrooms, peanuts, potato<br />

powder, vanila, sugar, and shredded<br />

coconut. To make the dish more<br />

flavorsome, you can add a little salt<br />

when preparing.<br />

CHá BôI<br />

On hot summer days, enjoying chÃ<br />

buÎi (sweet pomelo soup) with chewy<br />

pomelo pulp, green beans, and coconut<br />

milk over ice makes for the best dining<br />

experience. Prepared according to the<br />

traditional recipe, the pomelo pulp<br />

loses its bitterness. It is an impressive<br />

dish, even for the most discerning<br />

diners.<br />

Just a few days ago, I went off in<br />

search of the Malaysian Bajau,<br />

who are also known as sea<br />

gypsies. My expedition was no<br />

smooth ride, as it’s very difficult<br />

to come in contact with these<br />

people who live far away from<br />

civilization.<br />

It was a true obstacle course. After<br />

several hours in flight, I touched<br />

down in Kuala Lumpur before<br />

connecting with another three<br />

hour flight to Tawau. After an<br />

hour and a half by bus, I finally<br />

managed to reach Semporna, one<br />

of the largest cities in Borneo and<br />

an important harbor. It is from<br />

here that the tourists leave to go<br />

enjoy the wonderful dive sites that<br />

Malaysia has to offer.<br />

Bajaus are real mermen, the people<br />

who only feels whole when in their<br />

element: the ocean.<br />

116<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

Traditionally, the<br />

Bajau resided<br />

in small boats,<br />

sailing day and<br />

night with the<br />

currents, relying<br />

only on their<br />

fishing gear to<br />

make a living.<br />

MANAGING WITH A VAGUE HOPE<br />

While trying to find a solution on how to cross<br />

over to the other side, which only takes an hour by<br />

motorboat, I was amazed at how difficult it was to<br />

find someone who would agree to take me. Indeed,<br />

the few specialized agencies in the area refuse to sail<br />

anywhere but to the resorts. I was therefore forced to<br />

find a solution on the pier, walking for hours along<br />

the waterfront as I addressed the fishermen moored<br />

for the day, but unfortunately, no one spoke English.<br />

When I finally managed to make myself understood,<br />

they gave me exorbitant and unjustified prices. I had<br />

no choice but to sleep on site, being careful to stay on<br />

my guard and keep my head down. In recent years,<br />

tourist kidnappings have become pretty common on<br />

this part of the island. Sometimes Islamist terrorist<br />

groups track down holidaymakers, follow them in<br />

order to establish the appropriate time to kidnap<br />

them, and then demand a ransom for their release.<br />

In November 2013, a Taiwanese tourist was killed<br />

in one of the bungalows at the resort where he was<br />

staying. Tension is omnipresent and kidnappings are<br />

becoming more and more frequent in this seemingly<br />

paradisiacal destination. Soldiers are everywhere to be<br />

seen in the main tourist areas but not on most of the<br />

islands I was planning to visit.<br />

At the heart of this dangerous environment and<br />

concerned for my safety, I was almost about to give<br />

up. But my patience paid off. One morning I finally<br />

saw my chance to reach the islands after meeting a<br />

man named Karim, a Bajau who could speak a few<br />

words of English. This was a huge stroke of luck for<br />

the photographer who was longing to meet these<br />

people. Karim offered to take me to the islands<br />

inhabited by members of his ethnic group. He<br />

seemed surprised by my request, being as most of the<br />

travelers usually want to go straight to the lagoon’s<br />

coral reefs, and have no real wishes to meet the locals.<br />

But, touched by my interest, he accepted to take me<br />

with him, and we embarked on an expedition through<br />

Malaysian waters.<br />

IN THE WORLD OF REAL MERMEN<br />

Traditionally, the Bajau resided in small boats, sailing<br />

day and night with the currents, relying only on their<br />

fishing gear to make a living. This is how they earned<br />

the title, "the nomads of the seas". Others used to<br />

live in hiding, and many still live in remote floating<br />

villages built on coral reefs within the trough of the<br />

lagoon. Today, many have come ashore to live on the<br />

small islands but continue to cultivate their nautical<br />

mastery while weighing their fish on a small scale.<br />

I was curious to know more about these men and<br />

women who have chosen to live remote lives, far away<br />

from the cities and their temptations. The sight that<br />

awaited me made my whole being tremble as I saw in<br />

the distance, on the horizon, an island lost in the royal<br />

blue immensity. I had arrived at Tabbalanos island.<br />

The ship dropped anchor within reach of a tiny island<br />

on which only a single tree stood against the sun. I<br />

was immediately struck by the magic of the place: a<br />

swing was hanging proudly on one of the branches,<br />

indicating the presence of children, who quickly<br />

came running out towards the boat, intrigued by the<br />

presence of this newcomer.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 117

White skin equals beauty in Malaysia, and single women use borak<br />

everyday to find a spouse. Mothers apply it to their children’s skin<br />

because they are constantly exposed to the sunlight.<br />

was greeted by dozens of smiles. The little group<br />

of children gathering around me were over the<br />

moon with joy as I produced a packet of biscuits<br />

from the bag, bought a few seconds earlier from<br />

one of the shops. I’m used to being asked for food<br />

and money, but by distributing the biscuits and<br />

exchanging a few friendly looks, the Bajau children<br />

soon got used to my presence and went back to<br />

playing in the water. Of all the people in the world, the<br />

Bajau spend the most time in the water. These are real<br />

mermen, the people who only feel whole when in their<br />

element: the ocean.<br />

I managed to visit the other islands where the Bajau<br />

live over the next four days. Some of the islands<br />

such as Tabbalanos are not even referenced on the<br />

internet, perhaps because they are too small for the<br />

giant that Google has become. Yet this might be<br />

what has preserved the tranquility of its inhabitants.<br />

I traveled across the ocean and met the tribes on the<br />

islands of Mabul, Omadal, Sibuan, Maiga, and the<br />

village of Tagatan. The houses in Tagatan are built on<br />

stilts over the lagoon. I met a family there who had<br />

fled from the Philippines a few years earlier to settle<br />

in this peaceful haven.<br />

118<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

I could easily count the number of bungalows on<br />

the island, eleven altogether. Eleven<br />

small houses placed there between<br />

land and sea. It was later that I learned<br />

from Karim that each family had<br />

about five children. Women give birth<br />

here in their stilted huts. Most Bajau<br />

are born, live, and die on their land.<br />

Life is organized around fishing, and<br />

they have no knowledge of reading or<br />

writing. Regardless of age, everyone<br />

finds his place and helps catch fish.<br />

Younger children are constantly on the<br />

boats learning how to dive or swim,<br />

while those of about 8 years or older<br />

are already busy hunting. The Bajau do<br />

not know their ages. They have a rough<br />

concept of age, but measured time<br />

doesn’t matter much to them. Only the<br />

present moment counts. I took out my<br />

camera to capture the moments, in awe<br />

before such wonders, a feeling that you<br />

can easily understand when seeing this<br />

island lost at sea and it’s inhabitants<br />

totally at peace with their values and<br />

traditions.<br />

Further information<br />

Itinerary<br />

ü It takes 2-3 hours to fly<br />

from HCMC or Hanoi to Kuala<br />

Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.<br />

Fly from Kuala Lumpur to<br />

Tawau (2.5 hours), then take a<br />

bus to Semporna (1 hour) and<br />

travel by boat to the islands<br />

(1 hour).<br />

Cuisine<br />

ü Bajaus people live far from<br />

the civilization so there isn’t<br />

any tourist services here. On<br />

some islands where they live,<br />

you can find some small shops<br />

mainly serving the community.<br />

Accommodation:<br />

ü At night you should go back<br />

to Semporna. There are some<br />

mini hotels here for about<br />

40USD/night. On some tourist<br />

islands such as Mabul, hotels<br />

are much expensive.<br />

Discover<br />

ü if you have a chance to visit<br />

the islands, you should spend<br />

time wandering around floating<br />

villages built on coral reef in<br />

lagoons.<br />

Though small, each of these places are different.<br />

Some of them are larger and contain<br />

more people. There are seventy<br />

families in Omadal living in stilted<br />

bungalows that are connected to<br />

one another by bridges so that the<br />

tight-knitted community may live<br />

together peacefully. You can find<br />

some small shops (food stands) and<br />

even a football field here. Upon my<br />

arrival, I was greeted once again by<br />

the children and took a picture of<br />

them with their hair bleached blond<br />

by the salt water. Women further on<br />

were smearing their faces with borak,<br />

a local turmeric paste they use every<br />

day to protect their skin from the sun.<br />

White skin equals beauty in<br />

Malaysia, and single women use<br />

borak everyday to find a spouse.<br />

Mothers apply it to their children’s<br />

skin because they are constantly<br />

exposed to the sunlight. I noticed a<br />

small boat arriving towards the beach<br />

loaded with provisions to stock the<br />

island’s stores and food stalls.

I left a few minutes later with several pounds of<br />

fresh fish to take back to the mainland.<br />

My expedition had come to an end. It was a<br />

welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of<br />

modern living, there in the midst of the blue<br />

immensity. I will keep forever in the depths of my<br />

heart the feeling of peace and serenity that emerges<br />

from these places, of these people who have nothing<br />

in common with our lives and who live only for and<br />

by the water. The Bajau, the nomads of the sea, are<br />

neither recognized nor accepted by the neighboring<br />

countries. They are there by choice, the choice to<br />

remain in their own little paradise.<br />

HOI AN<br />

ON THE DAYS OF<br />

The simple pleasure of doing nothing, dolce far<br />

niente, is merely living in the moment. To Hoi An time, I just<br />

want to slow down, travel without any plan, and take life as it<br />

comes. Dolce far niente!<br />

Dolce far Niente<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 123

The present trend of<br />

returning to slow<br />

living originated<br />

in Italian cities<br />

such as Greve, Orvieto, and<br />

Positano. It is spreading as<br />

cities around the world have<br />

begun to emulate their lifestyle.<br />

Hoi An is one of these places<br />

where people are willing to<br />

set aside their worries to take<br />

a short siesta. It's a city where<br />

travelers can put down their<br />

heavy luggage to savor a cup of<br />

coffee while enjoying the warm<br />

sunlight of tranquil days.<br />

80 is the number of ancient<br />

wells - the forgotten treasures<br />

of Hoi An. You realize that all<br />

wells were built near assembly<br />

halls, catholic churches,<br />

temples, and shrines. It is<br />

believed that each well is<br />

protected by a god, making the<br />

water pure and sweet despite<br />

the effects of weather, dust,<br />

and environmental conditions.<br />

These wells are also always full.<br />

Having visited Hoi An many<br />

times, I had yet to learn<br />

about Ba Le well. I had just<br />

accidentally found out about<br />

it when ... asking the way to a<br />

fabric shop. An old man told us<br />

to return in the next morning<br />

since the shop was already<br />

closed. He said after that,<br />

"remember to drink the water<br />

in Ba Le for luck, girls. If you<br />

go between 8 and 9am, you will<br />

see many people fetching water<br />

to sell".<br />

Don't imagine the well is large<br />

and that there is a crowd of<br />

people drawing water by the<br />

well. Ba Le well is so simple<br />

that my friend didn't notice it<br />

as we were walking past. To<br />

reach the well, you need to go<br />

through narrow alleys. The well<br />

is square, following Champa<br />

architecture, and covered by<br />

green moss. While we were<br />

managing to scoop water from<br />

the well, a man gave us a ladle<br />

of water, noting that he likes<br />

the sweet water here and can't<br />

drink water from anywhere<br />

else. The most delicious sweet<br />

soups in Hoi An, cao l«u and<br />

b∏nh vπc, are made from water<br />

taken from this well. My friend<br />

was greatly surprised to learn<br />

that a 20 liter bottle of well<br />

water costs only VND5,000.<br />

There is a restaurant selling<br />

skewers of grilled meat and<br />

grilled rolls near Ba Le well. If<br />

you want to enjoy barbecued<br />

meat, just go to this restaurant<br />

as a skewer full of high quality<br />

meat costs only VND 7,000.<br />

If you go to the Old Town, the<br />

price is around VND10,000 a<br />

skewer.<br />

300m is the length of Cong Nu<br />

Ngoc Hoa road which is named<br />

after the first Vietnamese girl<br />

to live in Japan. The road goes<br />

from Chua Cau canal to the<br />

Hung Vuong - Tran Hung Dao<br />

intersection. When my friends<br />

and I visited the antique houses<br />

in Hoi An, few of us knew that<br />

we are strolling down a road<br />

associated with such a nice<br />

anecdote.<br />

In early 17 th century Japan,<br />

Araki Sotaro, a talented<br />

navigator descended from<br />

a samurai family, led many<br />

Japanese businessmen to<br />

expand their business in<br />

South East Asia (Vietnam,<br />

Laos, and Cambodia). At that<br />

time, Hoi An was one of the<br />

most important harbors of<br />

Dai Viet and was believed by<br />

the Japanese to be the heart of<br />

Asia. That was why Mr. Araki<br />

Sotaro often stopped here and<br />

eventually got married to Cong<br />

Nu Ngoc Hoa, the princess of<br />

An Nam.<br />

In 1620, Cong Nu Ngoc Hoa,<br />

known to the Japanese as<br />

Princess Wakaru, followed<br />

her husband to live in Japan.<br />

Their marriage solidified the<br />

relationship between Japan<br />

and the Nguyen Dynasty, even<br />

during the time of seclusion.<br />

Up to now, people in Nagasaki<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

Hoi An is an extremely beautiful town thanks to not only<br />

green moss walls and hundred year old houses but also<br />

because of its beautiful stories of love.

FURTHER INFORMATION:<br />

- Ba Le well is located on Tran Hung<br />

Dao, a small street leading to Hoi An<br />

Old Town. Near the well is Bale Well<br />

restaurant (45/51 Tran Hung Dao).<br />

- Cafä Faifo, 130 Tran Phu, Hoi An<br />

- Palm Garden Resort, Lac Long Quan,<br />

Hoi An<br />

You don't need to seek restaurants on<br />

websites. Just stroll down the streets, and you'll<br />

randomly come upon any number of food stalls<br />

if you like to test you luck.<br />

still celebrate the day she moved<br />

there with the Okunchi festival<br />

from October 7 th -9 th . Faifo is<br />

the old name of Hoi An, but<br />

nobody knows exactly where it<br />

is derived from. We just know<br />

that on the map of Indochina<br />

Cochinchine, the French,<br />

Spanish, and Portuguese<br />

referred to Hoi An as Faifo.<br />

In 1535, Captain Antonio de<br />

Faria, a Portuguese explore,<br />

visited this area for the first<br />

time to establish a sea harbor.<br />

In 1595, the name Hoi An<br />

officially appeared on the map<br />

of marine business thanks to<br />

Princess Nguyen Hoang - the<br />

pioneer who worked to expand<br />

the country’s borders to the<br />

south, and created a foundation<br />

to form Dang Trong which later<br />

became the pearl of Far East.<br />

It was not until we felt tired and<br />

stopped at a restaurant named<br />

Faifo that I began wondering<br />

about the name. Looking at the<br />

restaurant board, I smiled and<br />

asked "Why are there so many<br />

things named Faifo here?" My<br />

local friend answered right off<br />

the bat, "Faifo is the old name<br />

of Hoi An, dear!". You can<br />

find a Faifo fabric shop, a Faifo<br />

restaurant, and a Faifo cafä.<br />

This old name hearkens back<br />

to the glory days of Hoi An as a<br />

bustling commercial harbor.<br />

Don't move fast in Hoi An, slow<br />

your speed, sit down at the Faifo<br />

cafä rooftop and enjoy a cup of<br />

coffee. Perhaps, this is the only<br />

cafä in the Old Town offering<br />

a panoramic view of Hoi An.<br />

There are many lovely cafes in<br />

the heart of Hoi An, some of<br />

them sit quietly on stilts, some<br />

are simply a house with a sunny<br />

balcony, and some of them<br />

are on airy rooftops. And you<br />

don't need to seek restaurants<br />

on websites. Just stroll down<br />

the small streets, and you'll<br />

randomly come upon any<br />

number of food stalls if you like<br />

to test your luck. Life is like a<br />

box of chocolates; let's find your<br />

own taste among the different<br />

flavors!<br />

"Dolce far niente" - do nothing<br />

except lye on Cua Dai Beach,<br />

smell the clean ocean wind,<br />

listen to the melodies of waves,<br />

and bathe under the sun. That's<br />

enough for you to taste the true<br />

sweetness of Hoi An.<br />

Cycle about 30 minutes and<br />

you will reach Cua Dai beach.<br />

You may see some common<br />

sites; vast green fields of rice, a<br />

rustic blue school, and children<br />

happily calling their friends<br />

after school. If you have a<br />

chance, why don't you visit Cua<br />

Dai - one of the most beautiful<br />

beaches in Asia - to take in the<br />

fresh beauty of nature at sunset?<br />

We stopped at the Palm Garden<br />

Resort, which boasts a great<br />

beach which hasn't been<br />

affected much by the sea. At<br />

the resort, you can welcome the<br />

sunrise under the palm trees<br />

as you enjoy a loaf of bread and<br />

a warm cup of ginger tea. If<br />

you like horse riding, you can<br />

take a horse along the beach<br />

for a breath of fresh air. In the<br />

morning, friendly horse jockeys<br />

Perhaps April is the best time to visit Yamanashi and Ibaraki. You can enjoy a bottle from the last batch of<br />

Sake produced in the snowy season, “hunt” for Sakura - a wine only produced during the cherry blossom<br />

season in April. In the meantime as summer approaches, try a fresh bottle of sweet Umeshu.<br />

(*) Umaii in Japanese means something that tastes good or is delicious.<br />

this season, no matter where<br />

you go, you can notice the dry<br />

rounded sheaves hanging in<br />

doorways, an announcement<br />

that they are ready for the fresh<br />

batches of sake.<br />

Most Sake breweries are over<br />

100 years old and passed down<br />

from generation to generation.<br />

The Yamanashi Meijo brewery is<br />

300 years old! To make sake, they<br />

must polish the rice to remove<br />

the bran (the outer protein coat)<br />

to expose the inner starch, the<br />

“soul” of sake. However, it’s not<br />

economical to polish the rice too<br />

much. Therefore, for practical<br />

purposes, only 30% of the outside<br />

coat is removed. Some breweries<br />

remove up to 60% to make<br />

aristocratic-grade sake - daiginjo.<br />

Those who invite you to have a<br />

glass of daiginjo surely appreciate<br />

your company.<br />

If you are more into traditional<br />

breweries, the Yamaki Sake<br />

Brewery might resonate best<br />

with you... The owner is quite<br />

enthusiastic about showing us<br />

around the brewery to witness the<br />

stages of making sake. We even<br />

got a close up look at how they<br />

temper the koji rice. After being<br />

polished, the rice is steamed and<br />

fermented with mold (koji). You<br />

might imagine moldy rice to be<br />

quite foul, but actually the subtle<br />

scent of koji is not unpleasant,<br />

and it gives the rice a slightly<br />

sweet flavor. One must be very<br />

careful when working with koji<br />

because it is very sensitive to the<br />

outside environment. A little<br />

sweat, dust, perfume, or make-up<br />

powder can ruin the wine easily.<br />

Breweries rarely allow visitors to<br />

come near the koji room, not to<br />

mention enter and taste the rice!<br />

After the rice is introduced to the<br />

koji mold, yeast and water are<br />

added to begin the fermentation<br />

process. The more “delicious”<br />

the water is, the better the sake<br />

and the best sakes are fermented<br />

at low temperatures. If you want<br />

to know where great sake is, look<br />

up places near mountains and<br />

springs with the purest water.<br />

Grab your backpack and go to the<br />

snowy places. Chances are, you’ll<br />

find what you’re looking for.<br />

While Yamanashi has the great<br />

water source, Ibaraki is famous<br />

for its high-quality rice. Just 1<br />

hour and 50 minutes from Tokyo<br />

by train, Ibaraki is a must-visit<br />

destination for foodies and flower<br />

lovers alike. If you love sake,<br />

then pay a visit Sudohonke Sake<br />

Brewery - one of the 10 oldest<br />

businesses in Japan with a history<br />

of nearly one thousand years.<br />

This place impresses me with<br />

it quality of sake, especially the<br />

Junmai Ginjo Sake - the sato no<br />

homare or pride of the village.<br />

Sato no homare made from<br />

yamada nishiki (60% removed<br />

bran) has a fresh smell like<br />

licorice and mint.<br />

Those who love sake all know<br />

that sake is “young” wine. It<br />

means no one saves sake but<br />

enjoy its original taste right in<br />

the season. Sake is difficult to<br />

store because of the effects of<br />

temperature, space and smell of<br />

surrounding areas. It’s a surprise<br />

that Sudohonke Sake Brewer has<br />

saved some sake to produce aged<br />

sake. Sake is saved for dozens, or<br />

even hundreds of years. Maybe,<br />

few decades later, we can taste<br />

the very first sips of the aged sake<br />

when returning to Ibaraki.<br />

One of the most engaging parts of our tour of Shirayuri Winery is<br />

getting to bottle and label our own wine.<br />

Down the cellar<br />

to find Sakura in<br />

Yamanashi<br />

Yamanashi is a must-visit<br />

destination for those who love<br />

green fields, sitting back in the<br />

shade of a cherry tree in spring,<br />

or enjoy collecting apples, plums,<br />

and cherries from orchards.<br />

Particularly, from mid April<br />

onward when “the kingdom of<br />

fruit” is in full swing, you can<br />

savor a glass of sakura amidst<br />

the backdrop of cherry blossoms<br />

and plum flowers, a memorable<br />

experience indeed!<br />

Sakura is brewed to greet the<br />

first cherry blossoms of the<br />

year. As I visit the Shirayuri<br />

Winery to hunt for bottles of<br />

sakura, a local expresses that<br />

people always talk about this<br />

wine but it’s so rare that very<br />

few people, even amongst the<br />

locals, have the chance to try it<br />

while contemplating the cherry<br />

blossoms. I’m so lucky to have<br />

met Takao Uchia, the president<br />

of Shirayuri Winery, during my<br />

visit. Mr. Takao Uchia is eager to<br />

show us around his winery, where<br />

fruits are collected, and points to<br />

the best views of Fuji Mount.<br />

The characteristic warmth of the<br />

people is one of the particular<br />

charms of Yamanashi. Here, I find<br />

myself welcomed by locals as if<br />

I am an old friend and not some<br />

stranger from a far away land.<br />

After a tour of the winery, I<br />

am guided to visit Shirayuri’s<br />

vineyard. To make wine, they<br />

plant grapes in hedgerows.<br />

Instead of letting the grapevines<br />

grow long to harvest greater<br />

quantity of bunches, they trim the<br />

branches so that there are fewer<br />

bunches but higher quality grapes.<br />

One of the most engaging parts<br />

of our tour of Shirayuri Winery<br />

is getting to bottle and label your<br />

own wine. After that, the host<br />

lets you try some signature wines<br />

from this region. L'Orient Sakura,<br />

of course, is not included in the<br />

list of free samples. But why not<br />

take some as it’s very special!<br />

Sakura is somehow like the rosä<br />

(the rosä wines here feature<br />

strawberry, orange, or citrus<br />

notes). It is made from Koshu<br />

grapes, and inside each glass of<br />

Sakura wine is garnished with<br />

three cherry flowers - Yae Sakura.<br />

Yae Sakura is just a touch pink<br />

and has slightly salty taste.<br />

Umeshu<br />

- one of<br />

the most<br />

interesting<br />

fruit wines<br />

in the<br />

world, is<br />

made from<br />

Japanese<br />

apricot<br />

named ume.<br />

Sakura is a little sweet<br />

and fruity and pairs<br />

well with any dish from<br />

grilled, deli meat, salad,<br />

to fruits and pastries.<br />

Unlike other wines, sakura isn’t<br />

aged. Grapes are harvested in the<br />

summer to produce Sakura wine<br />

the next spring. No one saves it for<br />

years to come; therefore, Sakura<br />

wine is quite rare. However, it isn’t<br />

expensive. You can buy a 500ml<br />

bottle of wine for 14USD. The best<br />

things go with their season, so<br />

enjoy the cherry blossoms season<br />

in April with Sakura - the wine of<br />

spring!<br />

Umeshu: Summer winds<br />

in Ibaraki<br />

Ibaraki is famous for its Kairakuen<br />

Garden with more than 3,000<br />

apricot trees. This garden is an<br />

ideal place for visitors to spend a<br />

day wandering around and enjoying<br />

the fragrance of apricot blossoms<br />

and imbibing apricot wine at<br />

summer night parties. Endowed<br />

by nature with pure water, fertile<br />

soil, and an especially abundant<br />

variety of apricots, Ibaraki has<br />

become home to more than sake<br />

breweries. Umeshu - one of the<br />

most interesting fruit wines in<br />

the world, is made from Japanese<br />

apricots named ume. Ume is much<br />

bigger and fleshier than the apricots<br />

or plums in Vietnam.<br />

If you are curious about how the<br />

ancient Japanese produced Umeshu<br />

and sake, then visit Umeshu &<br />

Sake Besshunkan Museum at the<br />

Meiri Shurui Brewery. Long ago,<br />

Tokugawa Mitsukuni - the second<br />

leader of Mito- was passionate<br />

about sake and often held wine<br />

parties he called “besshunnkae”<br />

because for him “there was a<br />

spring in a glass of sake”. With a<br />

134<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

name which means wine parties, the<br />

Umeshu & Sake Besshunkan Museum is<br />

a wonderful place to explore how alcohols<br />

were made in the Edo period. Along the<br />

corridor are huge jars containing sake<br />

and ume.<br />

There are different methods of making<br />

umeshu, but the most popular way is to<br />

soak the ume in sake. Umeshu sake has<br />

a distinct flavor. Some people also use<br />

Ginjo sake to make umeshu. Besides<br />

sochu, brandy, whisky, and rum can be<br />

used to make Umeshu such as Baiko<br />

Hyakunen - the standard umeshu of<br />

Meiri Shurui Brewery. This was also<br />

ranked Japan’s best umeshu in 2008.<br />

To make Hyakunen Umeshu, they soak<br />

ume in a mixture of honey and 5-year-old<br />

brandy. It features a bold sweet flavor<br />

and long aftertaste.<br />

Umeshu is as fresh and sweet as<br />

summer, and as pure as the color of<br />

amber and is also good for your health.<br />

A glass of umeshu served with a black<br />

forest chocolate cake or other delicious<br />

dessert is a great choice for the hot days.<br />

It’s easy to understand why visitors to<br />

Mito, the main city of Ibaraki, always buy<br />

a bottle of umeshu.<br />

Creative craft beer<br />

Another interesting thing that Japan<br />

offers visitors is the beer workshop of<br />

Kiuchi Brewery in Ibaraki where the<br />

famed Hitachino Nest beer is produced.<br />

Originally specializing in Sake, Kiuchi<br />

Brewery gradually began developing<br />

craft beer since they can produce beer<br />

all year round, unlike sake which is<br />

specific to winter. Apart from craft beer,<br />

sake, sochu, and umeshu are also the<br />

products of Kiuchi Brewery. The most<br />

exciting thing is that Kiuchi Brewery<br />

allows you to observe the beer making<br />

process and create your own craft flavors<br />

with different sorts of malts such as<br />

caramel, wheat, pale, and Munich. In<br />

Japan, it’s illegal to brew your own wine<br />

and beer; therefore, many people bring<br />

their own stuff to Kiuchi Brewery to<br />

create their favorite flavors. Some people<br />

even bring coffee syrup from Italy to<br />

create their own signature beer.<br />

You should buy the white and amber<br />

ales (traditionally made from humulus<br />

lupulus) - the two most popular of<br />

Kiuchi’s products. The red rice ale<br />

(made from Japanese red rice) or real<br />

ginger ale are also pretty good. If you’re<br />

looking for an “Ibaraki product”, then<br />

try Kiuchi Umeshu, a special liqueur<br />

distilled from Hitachino Nest Beer<br />

White Ale infused with local green ume.<br />

The slightly sweet Kiuchi Umeshu, with<br />

the fine flavor of ume and the fresh<br />

fragrance of almond, is a favorite for<br />

many women.<br />

MALAYSIA<br />

Singapore and Thailand are<br />

quite familiar to Vietnamese<br />

visitors and other nationalities<br />

in Southeast Asia for medical<br />

tourism; however, Malaysia<br />

is also investing much in this<br />

field. Penang Island (Northwest<br />

Malaysia) is considered the<br />

"locomotive" for the strategic<br />

development of Malaysian<br />

medical tourism. In 2015,<br />

Malaysia welcomed more than<br />

880,000 visitors travelling for<br />

medical care across the country,<br />

with the revenue of RM 730<br />

million. Penang island authorities<br />

in March and there will be 1<br />

direct flight per week from<br />

December <strong>2016</strong> to April 2017.<br />

Phu Quoc Airport said that the<br />

direct route will contribute to<br />

developing tourism in Phu Quoc<br />

and meet the increasing demand<br />

of Swedish visitors to the island.<br />

The 30-day visa exemption for<br />

foreign tourists to the island has<br />

also attracted more and more<br />

visitors to Phu Quoc in the last<br />

2 years.<br />

Noi Bai ranked 80 th , gaining 136<br />

spots from last year (No.218 in<br />

2015). The airport was judged<br />

the World's Most Improved<br />

Airport thanks to the advances<br />

it has made in service quality<br />

in recent years. The Skytrax<br />

World Airport Awards are the<br />

most prestigious in the airport<br />

industry. Travelers from across<br />

the globe take part each year<br />

in the world's largest airline<br />

passenger satisfaction survey to<br />

decide the award winners. The<br />

survey ran from June 2015 to<br />

February <strong>2016</strong>, covering 550<br />

airports worldwide. The award<br />

can be considered a "certificate"<br />

for quality.<br />

HOI AN<br />

Hoi An has tested its first public<br />

bus route around the city. This<br />

bus route (about 10km) runs<br />

through some notable sites<br />

such as the Tra Que vegetable<br />

village, An Bang beach, Cua Dai<br />

beach and past 7 schools. The<br />

bus makes 53 trips from 8am<br />

to 9pm. It takes 50 minutes<br />

to finish a trip, including 23<br />

minutes in motion and 30<br />

minutes picking up passengers<br />

at the 10 stops. The project is<br />

implemented by Hoi An and the<br />

Action for Urban Development<br />

Centre sponsored by the Japan<br />

Fund for Global Environment.<br />

QUANG TRI<br />

Those who previously wanted to<br />

visit Con Co Island had to hire<br />

a fishing boat, but Quang Tri has<br />

chartered a private agency to<br />

open a route connecting Con<br />

Co Island with the mainland.<br />

The tour was launched in early<br />

April. There are two tours<br />

each week with package prices<br />

at VND700,000/guest for a<br />

one-day tour or VND1,000,000/<br />

guest if staying overnight. The<br />

ship takes about 2 hours to<br />

reach the island. Visitors to Con<br />

Co Island can trek in a primary<br />

forest, sightsee at the light<br />

house, go diving in a coral reef,<br />

and go fishing near the beach or<br />

on a boat in the evening.<br />

HCMC<br />

Southern Airports Services Joint<br />

Stock Company has cooperated<br />

with the Ho Chi Minh City<br />

Department of Transportation<br />

to introduce high-quality buses<br />

(No.109) running a route from<br />

Tan Son Nhat Airport to the<br />

centre of Ho Chi Minh City.<br />

Buses on the 45 minute route<br />

operate between 05:30 am<br />

and 01:30 am at 15-20 minute<br />

intervals. Trips of less than 5<br />

km are priced at VND12,000<br />

while those over 5 km cost<br />

VND20,000. The buses have<br />

modern designs and a capacity of<br />

70 passengers each and conform<br />

to Euro II emissions and safety<br />

standards for passengers.<br />

Danang Resort features 118<br />

5-star seaside villas with<br />

luxurious services that meet<br />

BANGKOK, THAILAND<br />

Thailand,s first electric bus in Bangkok has<br />

begun its trial run between Don Mueang<br />

Airport and Mo Chit bus terminal. The bus<br />

is 12 meters long and has 35 seats.<br />

It has on-board WiFi and is also wheelchair<br />

accessible. Each bus is equipped with a<br />

324kWh battery pack which can run up<br />

to 250km and can be fully charged within<br />

5 hours. Moreover, there is GPS so<br />

passengers can know exactly their current<br />

position. If the three-month trial run is<br />

successful, 20 more electric buses will be<br />

bought in May. The city is making an effort<br />

to replace the old diesel and gas buses to<br />

reduce pollution.<br />
