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!

LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF<br />
NATURE ON MOUNT ROKKO<br />
It’s said that Japan is the country with the<br />
most appreciation for nature in the world.<br />
Japanese people are attentive and create<br />
excellent tools to listen to the sounds<br />
of water, smell the winds, and feel the<br />
sunshine. There is one shrine I love with bamboo<br />
planted near a well. Just put the bamboo to your<br />
ear andlisten to the sounds da dee da as the water<br />
“sings” its song in the well. How magical it is!<br />
Kobe in Kansai is known to most visitors as a harbor<br />
city, but for me, the mountains are its most special<br />
gifts. As a part of a mountain range stretching along<br />
the southeast behind Kobe, the Rokko Mountains,<br />
with its highest mount - Rokko Saikoho at the height<br />
of 931m, is a wonderful place to contemplate the<br />
beauty of nature. Silently stand on the peak for hours<br />
and feel the city changes its appearance after sunrise<br />
or peer over to Osaka’s islands far away. Here, you<br />
should visit the herb gardens, museums, and hot<br />
springs. You might as well try skiing if you’re here<br />
during winter.<br />
Located on Mount Rokko, the Rokko Shidare<br />
astronomical observatory which is less popular with<br />
visitors is a must-visit destination. Designed by<br />
Hiroshi Sambuichi, who used to be a lecturer at the<br />
Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Rokko Shidare<br />
is a contemporary intellectual property combining<br />
the main elements of air, water, and soil. Thanks to<br />
its honeycomb design, it looks like a giant snowflake<br />
which impresses everyone visiting in winter. What<br />
could be better than listening to the whispers of<br />
nature and feeling the magic of 4 seasons while<br />
watching stars through windows in the clouds?<br />
