TRAVELLIVE 09-2016
In a late afternoon in the early autumn, I’m standing at the balcony overlooking the playground of my apartment building. Children are excited to go outside after a heavy rain. Some boys are noisily fighting to catch a plastic ball. Under the shade of trees, my daughter and her friends are drawing strange images on the stone chairs with a pen of tree’s branch dripping with water. The space is noisy yet peaceful. Autumn comes and brings with it a lot of expectations such as milk flowers in every corner or green young rice for delicious dishes. Some people are complaining that their skin is getting drier despite cool weather. Children are eager to meet their friends after a long summer holiday, participate in outdoor activities on the weekend, or gather and make crazy things at one’s house while their parents are worried about their workload. Who will take care of the kids, take them to school, contact with teachers, help them with homework, and clean the messes they make? You see, whether or not autumn is wonderful depends on our mood. While reading this letter, perhaps, you are a bit busy preparing for a new business trip or getting tired of work. But spend a few minutes this autumn to take up some intriguing things, letting the autumn winds help you find out your own tranquility!

Taking over the scorching summer<br />
sunshine, the sun rays of autumn are<br />
so pure and pleasant that everyone<br />
wants to go out and enjoy the gentle<br />
things that they bring. The light winds<br />
gently play with our hair, cheerfully<br />
dancing on our shoulders without<br />
bringing any uncomfortable feelings as<br />
in the hot summer and cold winter.<br />
Wandering around West Lake, Hoan<br />
Kiem Lake, or strolling down a few<br />
streets under the shade of trees are<br />
the best experiences these days.<br />
