EDITOR’s note<br />

I<br />

personally like the New Year. I usually get a new haircut and plan all the places I want to go<br />

travel to. I plan to continue searching for unknown places around Asia while hunting for a<br />

good bottle of sunscreen that can prevent sunburn while keeping my makeup on point. I’ll<br />

keep you posted on the latter.<br />

Speaking of less commercialised places, our <strong>January</strong> issue travels to Luang Prabang<br />

in Laos where nature and culture come together in this quaint river town. They have a<br />

limestone waterfall with waters the colour of turquoise.<br />

I ended 2016 with a new appreciation for food after interviewing a one Mr. Hiah for our<br />

Traditional Chinese Ingredients article in our food section. His shop in Petaling Street is a<br />

gem with shelves of popular ingredients used by the Chinese during Chinese New Year. Like<br />

vinegar or olive oil, I take my soy sauce very seriously after visiting that shop.<br />

I end with wishes of Happy New Year and Happy Chinese New Year to everyone. May<br />

the new year bring an abundance of love while still reminding us to share it with others.<br />
