TRAVELLIVE 11-2016
My two little nieces are giggling with each other, building their “old” snowman. However severe winter is, it brings something miraculous to little kids. They are excited to go around, showing off their colorful new winter clothes. They look like pretty bears with the wool gloves and hat that their grandmother knitted for them. And the happiness of an adult like me is watching them and seeing enjoyment sparkle in their eyes. I love curling up in a small corner of Hanoi, sipping a cup of hot chocolate with sweet marshmallow. Just a sip can warm up your entire winter. This winter, my family is travelling to a foreign country in which winter is far different from that in Hanoi. Outside the hotel, where my children are playing, snow has already covered the entire roof, putting its white coat on the land, trees, and fields. And who doesn’t love snow? But suddenly I miss my Hanoi with bitter winds which usually chill while I am strolling down narrow streets. Losing my train of thoughts, when I look back, the children have finished their snowman and start playing with snowflakes in various shapes. I just relax and silently take in the winter far from home. And you, have you prepared for your winder journey? Don’t hesitate to share it with us!

Summer arrives on the other side of world<br />
Escape the bitter cold of the North by travelling to the other side of the world. As summer comes,<br />
visitors flock to Tasmania, the only island state of Australia. What’s more, Tasmania is the world’s<br />
26 th largest island and has several small neighboring islands.<br />
Spanning 62,409km 2 , Tasmania contains green valleys, quiet towns, and pristine beaches. The best<br />
way to explore the island is to rent a car and see what interests you from there. Start in the south,<br />
near Hobart, the state’s capital. Tasmania’s best wine is made close by in the Swa Valley. Stroll<br />
down get a view of Hartz Mountains National Park with mountain ranges, frozen lakes, meadows,<br />
and jungles. The park is full of surprises. On Bruny Island you can walk along the Neck, a narrow<br />
strip of land separating the Isthmus and Adventure bay.<br />
If you are short for time, explore the city of Launceston, visit the vineyards and lavender farms in<br />
the Tamar Valley in the northern regions of the island. There are two options for you in the east:<br />
the Freycinet Peninsula and Wineglass Bay with white sand and clear water, or Maria Island which<br />
entices visitors with large deep bays, adventure trails with ferns, and majestic mountains that are<br />
home to numerous wild species.<br />
