I often save the air tickets of every trip I have taken
with my friends and family. Sometimes, when looking
at each of them, I feel like all the emotion and
memories are kept inside the small piece of paper.
In my latest journey, my companions were the two
little kids, Amy and Alex, travelling with their mother.
It was amazing as I as was able to stay awake
for hours during the flight, eagerly listening to the
adventures of these little travelers. Among their stories,
the one about globe impressed me the most. When
they were asking their mom where they will go the
next time, she just gave them the small globe, smiled,
and let Amy point at one of the place on it. Amy and
Alex were so excited, screaming with glee when their
mom told them about the next place. The kids together
made a plan to save money, and prepare for their
next trip. From time to time, the family had traveled
around the world with that globe. They showed me
that no matter where we go, one should plan their
voyage with love so as to make every trip into an
exciting page of life's book. The book of my life is
marked with the air tickets I have collected over the
years and the memories attached to each of them.
It has been said that life is a journey, not a destination.
The purpose then, is to travel to new places,
experience and learn new things, relax after working
days, or to find yourself, your passion and love.
Have you got your next journey planned?

Haruki Murakami's
New Book To Be
Released
The book's publisher, Shinchosha
Publishing Co., has announced
that the new novel by Haruki
Murakami will officially be released
this February. Recently when the
67 years old writer received the
Hans Christian Andersen award
in Denmark, he only described
his new work as a very strange
story. The new novel named
Kishidancho Goroshi (Killing
Commendatore) consists of two
parts - Emerging Ideas and Moving
Metaphor.
Born in 1949, Haruki Murakami
began writing while running a
jazz bar in Tokyo after finishing
university. His 1987 romantic
novel Norwegian Wood was his
first best-seller, establishing him
as a young literary star. After the
success of his million-copy-seller
1Q84, his most recent works have
included Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki
and His Years of Pilgrimage and a
collection of short stories, Men
Without Women.

"Nhπc cÒa Æ◊nh" (music of communal temples) is a Vietnamese folk music night enriched with the
songs from village festivals that were previously held in communal temples. During the music
filled night, several forms of ancient songs (h∏t cˆa Æ◊nh, h∏t d∆m, h∏t v›, h∏t s»m) and theatrical
plays (tuÂng - chÃo) are performed on the stage of L'Espace, the French cultural center in Hanoi.
With folk music, traditional lyrics, and ancient plays, you will feel the sophistication and liberation
of North Vietnam's culture and the spirit of festivals directly from traditional communal houses.
Tickets are available at L'Espace. Prices: VND170,000/ adult, VND100,000/ member, and
VND80,000/ student.

The "Magic"
OF WAGASHI CAKES
Although its history dates to 300 BC, making Wagashi (*) wasn't considered
art until 1867. In 1926, Wagashi was officially named and differentiated from
confectioneries that were introduced from the West.
Text: Que Lan - Photos: Various photographers
Wagashi is a
compound word
in which "wa"
is a word used
to denote anything Japanese
or {the harmony} and
{gashi} sounds like {kashi} -
traditional Japanese sweets.
Not only denoting Japanese
confectioneries, Wagashi
also means the sweetness
of harmony. Wagashi cakes
are served in Japanese tea
ceremonies to increase the
light fragrance and not too
bitter taste of matcha.
The artisans' ingenuity is the
magic to turn pretty cakes
into true works of art. The
harmony in ingredients,
tastes, colors, sweetness,
and ductility, all together
make the cakes special. The
main ingredients include
red beans, green beans,
white beans, seaweed
jelly, and sugar. The most
important and difficult stage
is preparing the bean filling.
It takes about 3-4 days to soak
the beans in water, remove
their hulls, stew, filter,
marsh, and process them
with mochi rice. Throughout
the same time the Wagashi is
prepared.
To shape the cakes, the chef
uses various hand tools such
as sieves made of wood and
rattan to make stems, clippers
to trip beautiful sharp petals,
cloths to create smooth soft
folds on the cake, as well as
cake molds and other shaping
tools. Simple kitchenware
such as chopsticks or spoon
can also be used to create
small details and make
Wagashi sophisticated.
Thanks to the passion
and creativity of artisans,
hundreds of types of Wagashi
have been developed. Among
them is Namagashi which is
not only favored for its eyecatching
designs based on
the four seasons' beauty, but
also because it represents the
signature colors of Japan. Its
crust is made with steamed
glutinous flour while the
filling is often made of red
beans. One of the crucial
ingredients contributing to
Namagashi's sweetness is
wasambon, a special type of
sugar made from sugarcane
found in the Tokushima
region of Japan. Namagashi
is usually in the shape of
natural things such as cherry
blossoms, apricot flowers,
maple leaves, or snowflakes.
In Namagashi, the nature is
lively, beautiful, and special
linked to the identity of
Japan.
To enjoy Namagashi, you
should use a bamboo skewer
to cut the cake instead of
using hands directly. Unlike
Vietnamese who often
cut cake into 4 pieces, the
Japanese avoid number 4
(which sounds like death)
by cutting a half of the cake
to eat first and finish the
other half later. Although it
takes a lot of time to prepare
wagashi, you are advised to
enjoy them within one day to
best enjoy their taste and the
love that the artisans give you
through the cakes.

It is believed that the first fried dish in the world was prepared in the
small kitchen of an ancient Egyptian in about 2500 BC during the
first "golden time" of Nile River Civilization.

AAt that time, frying was a great invention. By
frying food at different temperatures, the rich and crispy taste of the dish is
could be varied. The ancient people could also burn the surface of the food while
making it like caramel inside. By deep-frying in oil, they could preserve food for
a longer time. This practice of deep frying is still true now. For example, potato
chips and instant noodles are fried before packaged.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, a caring wife should know how to fry cheeses,
including fried curds, fried halloumi, smazeny syr, and queso frito. In the past,
every Parisian housewife would learn by heart Le Mänagier de Paris - the book
providing everything about how to be a great wife, from how to be better in bed
to gardening, to frying delicious Muenster cheese. The renowned Mozzarella
cheese sticks also dates back to this period when a French husband tried to
show his 15-years-old wife how to fry cheese.
Nowadays, it's widely known that eating an excess of fried food can lead to
obesity and other health complications. Therefore, people often seek to reduce
potato chips, fried chicken, fried onion, and other fried dishes from their diets.
But delicious food is irresistible! Few people can turn down the attraction of
fried dishes. Fried cuisine such as Ika Geso Age from Japan or fried squid from
Vietnam still ranks top in Asia's most attractive snacks. In Southeast Asia, fried
banana is certainly a signature dish. If you have a chance to visit Malaysia, don't
forget to enjoy yellow Goreng Pisang (made of bananas covered in batter and
deep fried in hot oil). They don't press the bananas flat before cooking but rather
fry the whole banana, making the food more aromatic and delicious.
Many people think that it's so easy to fry food. But this "easy task" is
sophisticated too. There are various recipes from deep fry, and shallow fry, to
sautä, pan fry, skillet fry, and stir fry. Sautäing and stir-frying require the chef
to invert or flip the food more frequently as the food is fried in a hot pan with
little oil. While deep-frying food, one must remember to wait until the oil is
boiling hot. There is a trick to check the readiness of such frying oil, specifically
by dipping a bamboo chopstick into the oil. When foam appears around the
chopstick, you can start deep frying food.
February is the month of love. Instead of gifting your loved a bouquet of flowers
or a surprise present, why don't you cook her or him a delicious fried dish?

Pink roads of apricot blossoms
Similar to the pink roads of vivid cherry in Japan, this season in
Dalat shows scenery covered with the color of cherry-like apricot
blossoms. The petals are everywhere, from main roads in the city
center such as Tran Hung Dao, Le Dai Hanh, Le Hong Phong,
and Trieu Viet Vuong to villas and resident houses as well as
Tuyen Lam Lake and Ta Nung Commune, popular tourist areas.
Apart from captivating roads of flowers, don't miss a chance
to visit poetic landscapes in Dalat, admire majestic mountains,
enjoy fresh air, and worship at sacred monasteries and temples
such as Truc Lam Zen monastery, as well as Linh Son, and Linh
Phuoc temples. Those who love unique architectural styles should
visit Dalat Cathedral, Domaine De Marie church, Cam Ly church,
and the Dalat's College of pedagogy which exhibits exceptional ©Ppana
European architectural beauty.
To get a panoramic view of the city, the best choice is travel to
Lang Bian Mountain which is considered the "roof" of Lam Vien
plateau at the height of 2.167m. Conquer the peak by trekking
through pine forests or travel by jeep and take in the breathtaking
beauty of the surroundings with undulating roads lined with
houses and pine forests tucked densely in the fog.
• Outfits: One can experience four seasons a day in Dalat. You should
bring a warm jacket to use in the early morning and in the evening. Thin
and comfortable outfits are great choices in the daytime.
• Food: B∏nh tr∏ng n≠Ìng (grilled paper cake) can be found
everywhere in the city, b∏nh kh‰t (mini pancakes), hÒ ti’u nam vang

Hon Khoi: The present of the sea
The name Hon Khoi dates back to the 18 th century.
One of the stories explaining this name is about Ming
remnant soldiers who were unyielding to the Qing
Dynasty. They traveled by boat to the south to find
new land to live upon. Some of them were powerful
and wealthy, using large ships to go further, like Mac Cuu in Ha
Tien. Meanwhile, a few of them wandered on the sea and became
pirates. At that time, the Nguyen Dynasty decided that when the
Chinese pirates came to loot food, villagers set fire on the mountain
peaks, creating smoke to send a distress signal. Since that time, the
island has been called Hon Khoi (Smoke Island).
More than a 1 hour drive from Nha Trang northward, Hon Khoi is
famous for its beautiful Doc Let beach with smooth fine sand used in
incense burners, as well as thesalt fields reaching further inland with the
strong taste of the ocean. The sea is rich with seafood including crabs,
shrimps, shellfishes, and snails which are renowned for their quality.
Fish are so plentiful that locals can even catch them without bait
©nam2505
When you are in Hon Khoi, don't miss the chance to enjoy G·i
Lua (lua salad) prepared from anchovies seasoned with lime juice,
banana stem which is thinly sliced and fried until yellow, and
mashed toasted peanuts. Another specialty of Hon Khoi is... salt.
A plethora of large salt fields stretching to the skyline are always
an endless source of inspiration for both domestic and international
photographers. From Cau Treo, along the banks of Do River in Dong
Hai, villages are to a large part comprised of big white salt dunes.
Every the 1 st and the 15 th of the lunar month when the tide is highest,
locals use small boats to carry salt from the salt fields to market. The
salt warehouse in Dong Hai village contains soaring mountains of
salt. The salt is so solid that locals must use crowbars to take it out
from the mountains. Experiencing one day with farmers will bring
you valued lessons of life and a new appreciation for such a simple
thing as salt.

"Underground" Stars in Waitomo
U
nderground caves full of glow worms were
previously thought to be just Maori legend. Until
1887 when the Waitomo Glowworm caves
were first explored by local Maori Chief Tane
Tinorau accompanied by an English surveyor
Fred Mace. The caves, which are thought to be 30 million years
old, open a new mysterious world.
Located outside the town of Waitomo in the North Island of New
Zealand, the Waitomo caves hide themselves underground,
winding along the Te Anau River and boast system of stalactites
and stalagmites. New Zealand explorer Lawson Burrows
described the caves "like a page out of a space fiction book;
a weird place, but not at all frightening". According to Maori
legend, Lake Te Anau inside the caves was created by Te Horo, a
Maori chief who accidentally discovered his wife's infidelity. His
angry face was reflected in the water. At the same time a torrent
burst forth, drowning the village and forming Lake Te Anau.
To first discover the caves, the explorers had to dive in a
stream emerging from a rock buttress. After pushing themselves
underwater through the rocks, they surfaced in an incredible
cavern of Arachnocampa Luminosa glow-worms, a species
native only to New Zealand. The glow worms light up the caves
like bright blue stars. Why don't you start your spring of journeys
with an adventure exploring the "underground galaxy" - a real
world of Avatar Pandora in New Zealand?

Explore one of the world's
most captivating island
countries
Spanning a modest area in the middle of the
ocean between Sicily (Italy) and the North
African coast, Malta, an island country in the
Mediterranean, consists of three inhabited
islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino. The
country is renowned for ancient relics and
historic stories about the Phoenician, Aragone,
Roman, Greek, and the knights of St. John, as
well as the remnants of famous wars between
European Catholics, the Otttoman Empire, the
success and failure of Napoleon, and World
war II.
If you are interested in architecture then Malta
is a feast with architectural works from a
broad array of different cultures, to leave you
enraptures. Some evidence of Middle Eastern
styles, some other nuances of Northern
African colors, and some places influenced
by European architectural, all together create
the unique feeling of Malta. Visit Mdina's old
quarter, also known as Cittµ Vecchia or Cittµ
Notabile, where everything seems to remain
as it was hundreds of years ago. Dating to the
16 th century, the capital of Malta, Valletta, is
considered as "the richest historical city in the
world" and "a natural museum" preserving
works and historic relics from centuries past,
from the great paintings of the Crusaders to
ancient stonework foundations underground.
After taking in the rich history, sunbathe, go
surfing, relax and enjoy the Azure Window
on Gozo island - one of the most beautiful
places on the earth. The Azure Window is a
masterpiece formed by the relentless effors
of nature. The work consists of unique archshaped
stones where you can sit to view the
small bays, green hills, and steep cliffs of
Gozo. Much simpler than Malta island, Gozo
offers white cliffs, red-orange sand beaches
in sunset lights, and a perfect turquoise sea
in Ramla Bay. Don't forget to enjoy Ftira, a
special flatbread with a hole in the center.
With oil, tomato, garlic, and onion, Ftira in
Gozo is said to be the most delicious Ftira in
Mediterranean.
• Studio: Movie lovers around the world, especially
fans of the film Troy, will be fond of the Troy studio built
at Fort Ricasoli on Malta Island, scenes in Mellieha,
a small town in the north of Malat, and Comino islet.
Malta is also the setting place of Popeye. The studio
is still completely intact.
• Food: There are many restaurants and cafes
serving delicious foods and wines. You should try
Al Fresco dishes to enjoy the signature taste of the
Mediterranean, especially in summer.

Bring you back the
student time
The most interesting thing of JW
Marriot Phu Quoc Emerald Bay
is its architectural design which
is inspired by Lamarck University
- the first university to be
established in Phu Quoc in 1904. Each building is
design as a department.
The Department of Chemistry Bar is the best place
to admire the art of bartending in the majestic
surroundings of Ngoc Bich Bay. For a multicultural
dining experience, Tempus Fugit with
French, Japanese, and Vietnamese cuisine is superb
while Pink Pearl offers exquisite Cantonese dishes
which are powerful like the love story between
the girl Chau Hong and the young fishman in the
past. Don't forget to visit Rue de Lamarck with the
spirit of Hoi An's ancient town to sightsee and go
shopping at handicraft, flower, and gift shops, and
traditional bakeries, as well as enjoy folk dances
and ÆÍn ca tµi tˆ that are performed every night.
February, the month of spring, is the best time to
experience the emerald cool water in Bai Khem
beach, Phu Quoc.

Vietnamese culture is richly woven with mystery and fables. Some of the
fables are all too true though, like the intriguing mystery of The M'nong
tribe. In their world, elephants play a huge role in their lives, symbolizing
wealth, power and strength of spirit.

The elephants are highly revered
to an incredible degree and are,
therefore, treated like human
beings in this tribe.
M'nong people coexist with
elephants, sharing a special
bond with the creatures and are
well-known for their elephant
training skills. Tracking and
"domesticating" elephants is a
very tricky and dangerous job.
The hunters not only require
special skills to overcome the
challenges of capturing them,
but they also need to overcome
the adversities that a wild jungle
presents.
The wild elephants are captured
when they are very young and
then reared as pets. Having a
"domesticated" elephant plays
a crucial part in uplifting the
daily life of locals and also
serves as an important means of
transportation for the M'nong
people.
Traditionally, elephants were
symbols of war. The chief
of the village often be hear
telling amazing cultural stories
about how elephants aided
in overpowering an enemy.
Elephants are not seen as
workers but rather as partners in
enriching the lives of the M'nong
tribe.
The Law for Protecting
Elephants
The Law of protecting elephants
was created by the M'nong tribe.
When elephants are not in good
physical condition, it's the duty of
the villagers to take care of them.
This is both a duty and a privilege.
People who abuse or eat elephants
are duly punished, and those who
kill elephants for business or
profit are strictly penalized. There
are various fines that need to be
paid depending on the severity of
the crime. Those who excessively
abuse elephants pay a fine by
replacing it with a cow or another
elephant.
This law of care applies to both
humans and elephants. If, for
some reason, an elephant abuses
or causes the death of a human,
it is killed. The village chief
organizes a hearing to discuss the
claims with other villagers and
depending on the circumstance,
a suitable punishment will be
carried out.
The 6 th Buon Ma Thuot
Coffee Festival and
Central Highlands
Gong Culture Festival
2017 will take place
from March 8 th to 13 th
in various places in
Lak District and Buon
Ma Thuot.

The Ritual for
Elephant Health
In the town of Lien Son in Dak Lak
province, an annual prayer ritual for
elephant health is organized during the
first month of the Lunar New Year. This
tradition has been going on for more
than a thousand years. The time of the
event depends on the condition of the
elephants' health and their owners.
Those who attend this event usually
bring alcohol or a pig as a gift for the
owner.
The Alarming Number of
Domestic Elephants
According to statistics from 2005, the
number of domestic elephants has been
drastically reduced from 600 (in 1980)
to 165 (in 2005) - Source: eleaid.com.
This alarming number shows how
important it is to preserve the population
of elephants and to revive the elephant
population. The elephants play a huge
role in the culture and heritage of the
M'nong and a loss of elephants means a
loss of cultural heritage and identity for
this group.
The Story of Kim Luan, 6
Years Old
This photo symbolizes the respect
between the M'nong and the
elephants. Taken in 2014, this
shot was published in more
than 40 countries and several
word famous magazines such as Time
Magazine and National Geographic...
What makes this picture even more
special is the contrasting opposites of a
small girl in front of such a huge wild
creature. An interesting fact is that the
photographer was unable to get close to
the wild elephant, yet the little girl could.
The good news is the government of Dak
Lak province is determined to preserve
the regional elephant population as well
as the traditional customs of the M'nong.
The local authorities want to help protect
the relationship between the M'nong
and the elephants. The government is
also taking steps to preserve the cultural
costumes of this tribe.
The M'nong:
ñ In 2009, the population of M'nong
stood at roughly 102,741. They lived
mainly in the mountainous areas of the
Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Quang Nam and
Lam Dong provinces. Other than these,
there is a small group of M'nong living in
Cambodia.
Culture:
ñ The M'nong have an interesting
collection of mystical stories, slang and
idioms. They follow polytheism; the
belief in or worship of more than one
Further information:
god. However, some others follow
Christianity. The M'nong love wearing
many different kinds of jewellery such
as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and
gold rings.
Village:
ñ The M'nong village is called a Buon.
Each Buon has more than 20 families
and they are closely connected, forming
supportive relationships with each other.
The roofs of all the houses are covered
with dried grass and the doors and
window frames are made from wood
and bamboo. They often live in areas
near valleys and lakes forming close
relationships with nature.
Economy:
The M'nong are a slash and burn culture.
In particular, those who live near the
riverside usually farm rice. According to
Mr. Ama Phong, from M'nong Ri©m in
the Læc district of Dak Lak, the ancient
M'nong didn't use slash and burn
cultivation. Instead, they are fishermen
and grow rice as well. He says the
traditional customs and habits of M'nong
are very similar to the dÍ ethnic group.
The main difference is the language
between M'nong and the £d ethnic
groups.
+ Food: Corn, cassava, sweet potatoes
and rice make up the bulk of the M'n´ng
main diet. They love sour food such
as young bamboo shoots, fish sauce,
fermented fish, shrimp and some buffalo
meat. Normally, food is marinated and
preserved for a long time so it can be
used for a whole season.

Spring comes vividly to remote villages such as Phieng Canh, Na

blanket of winter and change into their new coat of plum season.
Meanwhile, a few branches of peach blossoms are adding their pink

In the poetic white cascade of plum blossoms are the
rustic wooden houses of the H'mong ethnic people. There are
some kids sitting in front of the houses, some other siblings
just happily playing with each other as innocent as the land
where they were born. There are some little boys riding
their bikes along the dirt road or climbing on the plum trees,
greeting visitors with the friendliest of smiles. Their giggles
spread in the spring air, carried on the breeze like the petals
they are surrounded by. Together with their colorful traditional
attire, they bring a new atmosphere to the village.

CALLIGRAPHY is the art of writing letters.
If you write for an artistic purpose, your
writing becomes an artwork. But if you just
write to express a message in letters without
any artistic aspects, it is normal text.
Everyone writes; however, "writing" is not
as easy as you think. If you don't believe
this, take a paragraph from your favorite
book and try to write it down in the style
of calligraphy (be it traditional or modern
calligraphy). Personally, I have learned a lot
about patience when writing long passages in
this way. I started by learning how to enjoy
the sound of paper, the scent of ink, and
the aroma of wood from the pen instead of
focusing on what I was am going to write.
Calligraphy requires the harmony of mind
and hands. If you focus too much on the
content, you will forget how to write.
Meanwhile, if you focus much on writing
skills, you will easily misspell words. When
one is writing, having many thoughts in their
mind puts stress on their body. Therefore, I
always free my mind when writing calligraphy,
letting my thoughts go with the letters. At
first, even waiting for the ink to dry was a
horrible test of patience. But eventually, I
have learned how to balance myself, keeping
my mind focused yet liberal.
Like meditation, calligraphy can easily
generate positive energy and an inspired
spirit. Practice regularly and you will know
how to balance your thoughts and prevent
them from being interrupted. Your body and
mind will be more relaxed. Spending a few
minutes each day practicing calligraphy is a
good way to relax and refresh your brain.

Not only famous for the modern Kuala Lumpur, antique
Malacca, and beautiful Penang, Malaysia attracts
visitors with enchanting islands as well. One of them
is the Perhentian archipelago with two main islands
- Perhentian Kecil (small island) and Perhentian Besar
(big island) in the northeast of Malaysia adjacent to the
southern border of Thailand.

TRAVELLIVE

While locals and visitors can enjoy simple traditional food on the first floor,
the upper level is home to the region's signature spices
Listed as one of the world's 100
most beautiful beaches by CNN,
Perhentian will never disappoint
you. Immerse yourself in
emerald water or stroll down
the coastal roads to enjoy the
peaceful atmosphere there. The
pristine beauty of the small
islands will bring you to a new
world with colorful coral reefs,
vibrant fish and lovely turtles
having fun in the ocean.
Kota Bharu, a unique
destination
Located in the north
of Malaysia, Kota
Bharu is the capital
of Kelantan state.
This is a unique
destination for those who want
to explore Malaysian culinary
arts and the local traditional
culture before heading to
Perhentian. Separated from the
hustle and bustle of modern
cities, Kota Bharu brings you to
a nostalgic world with special
architectural styles exhibited
via museums, culture centers,
mosques, and local markets.
There, you will have a chance to
buy an array of goods, including
exquisite silverwares, handcrafts,
and batik fabrics well as enjoy
delicious street food.
On my own trip, after strolling
along the center area I visited
Gelanggang Seni - the cultural
center of Kota Bharu - to
learn more about Malaysian
architecture and Kelatan culture
by partaking in folk games,
contemplating pictures, and
watching traditional martial arts
performances. I also took time
to visit the antique castle Istana
Jahar and Royal Museum which
is home to historic relics and
royal artworks from the ancient
Islamic dynasties. Since Kota
Bharu is a small city, it is quick
and easy to travel to different
mosques and historic sites.
At noon, as guided by the
information desk's staff, I
traveled to the suburbs to
visit traditional villages which
specialize in silverware and
textile crafts. After that, I went
back to the city and visited the
most popular central market in
the shape of an octagon. While
locals and visitors can enjoy
simple traditional food on the
first floor, the upper level is
home to the region's signature
spices, colorful fabrics and silks,
along with copper products, and
other goods.
At first glance, Kota Bharu
doesn't have much to offer, but
inside this small peaceful city
are countless interesting places
to attract and entrance visitors.
Explore what secret's are hiding
behind the city's gates.

Relax on the beach paradise, feel the music, and enjoy a BBQ party
with friends on weekend. What more could you ask for?
Inviting beach paradise
When we were
travelling from
Kota Bharu to
Kuala Besut
harbor, our
friendly driver told us many stories
about locals and how they often
visit mosques. He also invited me to
experience a prayer meeting. After
a 15-minute prayer meet ended, we
continued the trip to the harbor. I
decided to stay there a night so that I
could enjoy nasi lemak, a traditional
breakfast with rice chicken, boiled
egg, fried fish and sambal sauce,
served with a hot fragrant the tarik
(hot milk tea).
Taking the first ship to the island
in the early morning, I knew my
time spent waiting was well worth
it. The turquoise water waving
upon the ship's sides brought me a
pleasant feeling and wiped away all
my weariness of daily life. I decided
to stay in Perhentian Besar (the big
island) for its tranquil space, fresh air,
and long white sand beaches. A true
beach paradise in Malaysia!
To completely take in the beauty
of this area, I rented a kayak to
explore around the islands and its
surrounding islets. Then, I started
my adventure in the ocean to admire
the beautiful marine life. There are
snorkeling and scuba diving tours
which last from 3 to 5 hours at various
rates. What could be better than
feeling small fish touch your skin,
swimming over beautiful large coral
reefs, and watching big turtles and
small sharks swimming around?
Perhentian is renowned not only for
turquoise water and snorkeling tours
but also tropical forests covering the
island. Small paths in forests lead
you to a new world of diverse plants
and animals. I spent a day trekking
through the forest with a group of
young people. We were captivated
by the amazing scenery, fresh air,
harmless iguanas, and countless
different type of birds.
At sunset, I walked along the beach,
watching small boats carry fresh
seafood from the ocean. Although
the island is far away from the main
land, food is fresh and delicious.
One is best to enjoy grilled meat and
seafood for dinner while saving local
specialties for breakfast and lunch.
True highlight to mention is that
there are music parties every weekend
night in summer. Relax on the beach
paradise, feel the music, and enjoy a
BBQ party with friends. What more
could you ask for?

Like Snake Farm, a famous destination in Thailand, a
new destination has opened in Nha Trang, complete with
unique and bizarre shows.
I was quite surprised when
coming to a snake-themed
artistic center called Nha
Trang Snake Show, a unique
destination in this southern
coastal community. The center
is easily recognizable by its
thatched cottage architecture,
reminiscent of the Vietnamese
countryside.
Having been officially open and
welcoming visitors for nearly 2
years, the Nha Trang Snake show
has been long awaited by many
people who have been excited
to witness talented performers
act with wild snakes. Nipolajs
Solovjous, a 30-year Russian
and CEO of Nha Trang Snake
Show, shared that he used to
watch fascinating snake shows
in Thailand, and the idea of
forming a snake tourism center
in Vietnam occurred to him.
BREATHLESS AT
Located in the village of Phuoc
Dien in Phuoc Dong commune
(a suburb of Nha Trang), with
a total area of 5.000 square
meters, the Nha Trang Snake
Show is one of the biggest
snake performing art centers
in Southeast Asia. It is a joint
project with Erawadee Company
and the Pattaya Snake Farm
(Thailand). The Nha Trang
snake show is operated by snake
experts, currently exhibiting and
introducing 20 different kinds
of snakes. The performance of
venomous snakes is particularly
popular and lively.
Here, the picturesque scenery
with its many mango trees
make guests feel like they are
wandering in a peaceful village.
We start to explore the center.

While the Snake Farm
(Thailand) attracts many
tourists with its snake cages
and snake performances
including catching snakes,
playing with snakes and
opening their mouths, the Nha
Trang Snake Show can create
a new feeling for tourists after
visiting all corners of this site.
In the snake breeding
area, tourists can see
tightly covered yet well
ventilated glass cages
with white sand floors
for the snakes to slither around
in. In the cages are dry stumps
which these reptiles can curl
around. Moreover, venomous
snakes, water snakes, pythons
and even salamanders are also
included in this sophisticated
collection.
Nipolajs Solovjous says that
the purpose of opening the
Nha Trang Snake Show
is to drive people towards
environmentally-friendly
activities and to realize that
snakes are useful animals.
Snakes are a great source
of medicine. Their meat is
said to cure neurological
diseases, aches, pains,
paralysis, convulsion,
epileptic convulsion, boils and
ulceration diseases. Snake fat
is said to cicatrize wounds
rapidly and heal burns. Snake
blood may cure backaches,
while snake bile is used as an
anti-inflammatory, an antioncotic,
to help rheumatism,
treat cold perspiration, manage
asthma, reduce high fever
and relieve headaches. Snake
venom is also used to treat
leprosy, cancer, epilepsy,
muscle pain, angina pectoris,
arthritis, and neuritis. Their
skin can be used for antisepsis,
mangy, rot ears, sore throat,
children's epileptic seizures
and more.
While snake awareness is
essential to the project in Nha
Trang, the show itself is clearly
the main event. Audiences
enthusiastically wonder how
artists can perform with their
snakes. With the venue having
a 100 person capacity, the
stage features a thick layer
of glass in the center so that
snakes cannot accidentally
escape and crawl out. During
show time, audiences are
asked not to move to avoid
attracting the dangerous
attention of the snakes. Two
performers wearing black
clothes and heads wrapped
in towels deliver a surprising
and thrilling spectacle. Snakes
are put on wood barrels
with wheels. Everyone is
scared when a wild cobra is
released from a barrel, but the
performers skillfully hold its
tail and play with it in different
postures. Then comes another
poisonous snake, three more
and lastly a group of big
snakes, each at least 1.5m long,
are released.
A performer deftly plays with
two poisonous snakes in his
bare hands. And what about
the third snake? He quickly
opens its mouth and keeps
it open when it is about to
attack him. The python is
immediately controlled by
the skilled and professional
artist. His actions of opening
the snake's mouth, taking its
venom and distinguishing
whether it is male or female,
shocks the audience. The
performance lasts about 20
minutes, always leaving the
packed audience smiling and
satisfied.
A scuffle between a cobra
and a mongoose was another
interesting part of the show.
Cobras can live together
with mongooses because a
mongoose can easily eat a
cobra without being poisoned.
However, the scuffle is ended
just before the two are about to
engage in a fight to the death.
Already attracting many
tourists, the Nha Trang Snake
Show promises to offer more
interesting and thrilling
performances to show how
mysterious the snake world is.
Further information:
ü The Nha Trang Snake Show is located
in the village of Phuoc Dien in Phuoc
Dong commune (suburb of Nha Trang).
About 1km north of the Phuoc Dong
People's committee, after passing Hon Thi
quarry. Visitors can easily find the place on
the road on the left.
ü In Nha Trang, please contact the hotel's
tour desk for further information.

After seeing the photo of Deu Deuch (*) I've uploaded on Facebook, my Belgium
friend surprisingly tells me "I have a Deu Deuch in sky blue, too. I don't think there
are Deu Deuchs in Madagascar!" In addition to more than 50-year-old antique taxis
running on the streets, Madagascar has more to surprise you.

The nostalgic painting
I traveled to Tana - short by
Antananarivo, Madagascar's
capital - when attending the 16 th
Francophone Summit. With
the participation of 80 leaders
from the member states of the
International Organization of
La Francophonie (IOF), the
16 th Francophone Summit was
considered the most important
international conference hosted
by the country since it officially
became an independent country
in 1960. I could feel the locals'
excitement just by looking at
their faces.
atrick, our driver,
enthusiastically
showed us the road
that was opened
the previous
day to welcome
the event. More police officers
were assigned to the streets for
security purposes and ensure the
smooth flow of traffic. However,
it was a hard task as traffic jams
are common in this city. "In
the upcoming days, wake up at
6am or you will be stuck on the
streets", he suggested.
We stayed in the city center as all
From the hotel's window, what I can see is a poetic painting
of the peaceful life in the 1950s - people going to the church
in the early morning, charming girls in high waisted
skirt strolling down the street, and especially hundreds of
vehicles running from every sloped corner.
hotels near the convention center
have been fully booked, even
though there were many hotels
built in preparation of the event.
The Grand H´tel Urban was one
of them. The hotel, located right
in High City in the heart of the
city, is so new that we couldn't
find it on any online booking
websites.
Having a chance to be one of
the first guest in a newly built
hotel made me excited, wiping
out all my weariness after nearly
30 hours transiting at Bangkok
and Nairobi airports. But the
happiness of "already been
here" is really unbounded in the
next morning.

Wander in
the romantic Tana
Antananarivo, located by the
shore at the edge of the Indian

ocean in southeastern Africa,
is the capital and also the
economic, administrative, and
cultural center of the island
country The city's history is
associated with the history of
the Rova of Antananarivo. In the
period from 1610 to 1630, King
Andrianjaka built a rova (fortified
royal dwelling) on the highest
hill and deployed a garrison of
1,000 soldiers to protect and
guard the site. The city then
was named Antananarivo ("City
of the Thousand") in honor of
Andrianjaka's 1000 soldiers. The
rova, well-known as the Queen's
Palace, is one of must-visit
destination in Tana as it offers
you a great panoramic view of 12
hills embracing the city.
In Tana, the most intriguing
experience is chatting with locals.

Further information:
Itinerary:
ñ You can fly from Hanoi to Nairobi (Kenya)
with Kenya Airways and take another flight to
Antananarivo.
Cuisine:
ñ One of must-try dishes in Antananarivo is
ravitoto sy henakisoa which is prepared with
mashed cassava leaves with pork and served
with rice.
Local markets:
ñ Thurday morning is when the flea market on
the bank of Anosy lake is open. Here, you can
meet merchants from different areas and buy
second-hand items at extremely low prices.
Art market:
ñ Visit Zoma concept market to admire and
buy creative products by young local artists.
Sightseeing:
ñ Apart from the Queen's Palace,
Ankaditapaka offer a complete view to the
city center.
travel books - Dervla Murphy
- once said that "Apart from the
Tibetans, I have never travelled
among a people as endearing as
the Malagasy."
The interesting experiences in
dealing with the locals begin right
from learning their names. Their
long names seem to hold a long
story about their owners. For
example, the surname of Sitrika is
Andrianjafimarosoa which means
"a happy aristocratic man". My
friend Ntrina has a meaningful
surname - Miharinavalontsoa
which refers to a person who
doesn't limit herseft in the
boundary of materials but always
seeks for a true love.
During my stay in Tana, I was
always greeted with local smiles.
They smile at me as if I was a
local too! Perhaps, this is the
only African country whose
majority of population originate
from Southeast Asia. When
visiting the Queen's Palace, your
tour guide will introduce you
to a statue of a woman with the
typical features of the Madagascar
women - Asian slanted eyes and
the firm body and curly hair of
Africans. As history has it, the
human settlement of Madagascar
occurred between 350 BC and 550
AD by Austronesian people.
While locals thought I was an
inhabitant, the scenery made
me think I am wandering in
Vietnam. It's hard not to think of
Hoan Kiem Lake when coming
across Anosy Lake especially
as it's aboutthe same size. And
Tana also boasts purple roads of
Jacaranda like the foggy Dalat of
Vietnam.
At an altitude of 1245m above sea
level, the city's weather is always
chilly as in early autumn days. It
seemed an irresistible pleasure
to sit and savor a few glasses of
rum with international friends.
The essence of this drink is the
blend of rum with vanilla, lemon,
cinnamon, ginger, or any flavors
you like. Like in conversation, it
is interesting when participants
have different perspectives.

I have always been enthralled
with the fabulously vivid and
ample beauty of Italy with
sunshine. However, upon
arriving at Bolzano station
in the capital of Alto Adige,
I was surprised by a new
Italy which is far different
from the one I kept in mind.
Italy this time consisted
of squeaky clean roads,
tree-lined parks, coldness,
and inhabitants who use
German as their official
language. Moreover, Trento
Alto Adige is the wealthiest
administrative region in
Italy with the centralized
managing systems
completely separated from
the national government.

The Dolomites (or Dolomiti in Italian) spreads from Adige River to Piave Valley. The
Dolomites consist of more than 40 mountains with various heights from 2235m to
3343m as well as 18 trekking rails. Its large size can confuse any visitor when choosing
the starting point for their journey. However, the government of Alto Adige has built
an amazing transportation system that allows visitors to travel to most of the desirable
destinations by bus or cable car. Some famous destinations in Alto Adige, including
Carezza Lake, Cortina Town, Tre Cime Mount, and the pretty capital Bolzano are
connected by the Great Dolomites Road.

The Great Dolomites Road
One of the must-visit places in the
Dolomites is the La Grande Strada delle
Dolomiti (Great Dolomites Road) from
Bolzano. The road is 110km long and
goes through numerous large tunnels.
The road also leads you to pretty valleys
nestled among the Dolomites' "big
arms", crossing Val D'Ega, Vigo di
Fassa, Canazei, to Cortina.
Established in 1909, the
Great Dolomites Road
features many parts
built entirely by man
power due to the lack
of technology. It is one of the most
important roads in Italy, connecting
the country in Southern Europe with
Northern Europe. Work began in 1901
with a grand total of 2500 workers set
to the task of building the road with the
motto "No hotel without roads, no road
without hotels". Thanks to convenience
in traveling, the Dolomites become
one of the ideal destinations for nature
loving travelers. During the trip along
the Great Dolomites Road, you will be
surprised with the breathtaking nature,
be excited by lovely towns nestled near
majestic limestone mountains, and feel
peaceful when watching cows slowly
enjoying grass on the quiet meadows.

Deep blue Carezza
At the height of 1,534m, Carezza Lake is impressive with deep
blue water. The lake is always full thanks to the underground
water source from the mountain peak. The name Carezza is
derived from a word in Latin which means "rainbow lake".
According to legend, there was once a beautiful mermaid
named Udine living in the lake. So enchanted by Udine, Laterma drew up a
rainbow on the lake to seduce her. However, astonished by the beauty and
power of Udine, Laterma was scared and broke the rainbow on Carezza.
Near the bank, trees with yellow leaves reflect on the lake, while the color
of water gets darker. The darkest area, a rich black blue, is the center of the
lake which is 17 meters deep. In spring when the mountain ice - melts, the
lake's surface is wider, double the total area compared to during the middle
of the dry winter. However, regardless of the weather, be it cold winter or hot
summer, Carezza is one of the most attractive destinations partly because it
is located near the capital Bolzano. Few people know that Carezza also offers
amazing wood and that it's the number 1 choice for wood by the world's
leading violin and guitar manufacturers.

Cortina - The fairy town
Our next destination was Cortina, a fairy
land in the westernmost region of the
Great Dolomites Road. Over the previous
centuries, numerous renowned poets
and writers such as Ernest Hemingway
and Saul Bellow have travelled thousands
of miles to get to Cortina and admire the
simple yet enticing beauty of Cortina.
Time after time, great artists have
visited the city bringing Cortina great art
value, in literature, music and cinema.
Cortina has appeared in countless
movies such as James Bond, The Pink
Panther, and Cliffhanger. Surprisingly,
most all families in Cortina play music
instruments. Every July when the
Dolomites change its coat of snow,
Cortina impresses visitor with its Piano
contest named Dino Ciani. In 1956,
Cortina also hosted the Winter Olympics
and since that time many other winter
competitions have been held in this
beautiful town.

Numerous renowned poets and writers have travelled thousands of
miles to get to Cortina and admire ITS simple yet enticing beauty.

The legend Cime Peak
The image of the majestic Tre Cime with
the height of more than 3000m appears
in every tourist publications about the
Dolomites. Tre Cime is the border
between Austria and Italy as well as the
boundary between the Italian-speaking
region and the German-speaking region
in the Alto Adige territory.
To reach Tre Cime, we drove from
Cortina town, crossed Misurina Lake,
and stopped at Rifugio Auronzo. From
there, we started a 1.7km trek to the
nearest stop to Tre Cime. The imposing
beauty of Tre Cime with undulating
mountains and discolored forests can't
be described by any single word or
photos. It is a beauty that one must take
in by their own eyes. One must visit the
place and get the feeling of being small
in the vastness nature.

The tranquil Bolzano
Nothing could be better than completing your day in the Dolomites by
enjoying cuisine and wine in the tranquil capital Bolzano. Because of
the local climate, cool weather and lots of rain and frost, grapevines
in the Bolzano's vineyards are bended to make sure that clusters of
grapes are covered by foliage, offering the highest quality of fruit. If you
are familiar with well balanced wines from the Chianti region or tasty
wines from Southern Italy, then Schiava, Lagrein and Gewürztraminer
will bring you a new distinct impression.
The lack of sunshine makes wine in Bolzano less fragrant with fruit
flavors like that in other regions. Instead, wine is more sophisticated
with different characteristics. For example, Schiava is gentle and
youthful; Lagrein is fascinating, while Gewürztraminer is elegant.
Bolzano food remains a product of influence from Austria and
Germany. There are many bakeries selling German breads and apple
cakes, as well as carts selling sausages along the streets. It's hard to
find a Chinese restaurant or Kebab on the city which preserves many
traditional values as Bolzano.

Further information:
Transportation:
ñ The most suitable means of
transportation to the Dolomites is by
train. It takes only about 2 hours to
travel by train between Bolzano and
big cities such as Munich or Verona,
Austria. Travelling by rain allows you to
take it the beautiful landscapes through
majestic mountains.
Weather:
ñ It's cold in the Dolomites because of
the high mountainous terrain. Spring
(February and March) is the last period
when the mountains are covered with
snow. Daytime temperatures are around
7 - 10 o C, and about -2 - 2 o C at night.
Therefore, you should bring with you
warm outfits, and warm jackets, as well
as waterproof hiking shoes if you want
to participate in trekking or skiing.
Languages:
Although it's a popular tourist
destination, Alto Adige is the area with
the smallest number of immigrants in
Italy. Thus, all places are safe and serene.
You can communicate with locals in
English, Italian, or German.
Activities:
ñ Apart from the mentioned
destinations, you can buy a ticket to
go skiing in Dolomites for 50EUR per
day. For details, please visit http://www.
dolomitisuperski.com/en
Notes:
ñ If you don't want to rent a car
to travel among different areas of
Dolomites but still want to take in
the beauty of Dolomites, then book a
tour with local guides at http://www.

GAME OF FOG
AND CLOUDS
The most interesting thing about the nature of the monsoon
season is that you never know what is going to happen in the
next few minutes. Almora is the perfect example to show you
the Himalayan region during the rainy season. It sounds crazy
to travel to Uttarakhand at this time as it is considered the most
dangerous place in India to go in raining season.
My journey begins directly from
Dehradun, but it's not a bad idea as my
friend suggests stopping in Ranikhet
on the way to experience the "taste" of
its monsoon days. Actually, Ranikhet is
not included in my plan as Almora is
my desired destination. Ranikhet is only
a small hilltown, but an ideal place for
capturing some Himalayan views as long
as the weather is in a good mood - if it's
sunny. Try your luck here to find whether
you are fortunate enough to get a good
view of the Himalayas or not as foggy is
the main characteristic of this season.
In these days, the entire town is covered
with fog, it covers every single rooftop

of all the houses. There is nearly no
chance to see a rainbow after a half day
of heavy rain. Though I had no idea
about Ranikhet before, I didn't think
it wanted to let me go in that way.
Anyway, it gave me more fun than I
could imagine as my friend and I took
a long walk full of jokes in the rain.
Undoubtedly, if you are a true rain
lover, then Ranikhet in the monsoon
season is the best destination for you
to enjoy the rhythm of the rain in
the slow life of the small town before
heading to Almora.
Almora then becomes my only
hope of admiring the beauty of the
Himalays, although it is only 70km
from Ranikhet to Almora.
A
shared jeep will
take you straight to
Almora via the most
adventurous road that
you only can know
about when you are already settled
on. The jeep gradually goes up windy
roads all the way up to Almora. And if
you want to "define" how dangerous
it is, check the waste left by carsick
victims. Anyway, it's not a bad price
to experience this and witness an
"OMG" educing landscape. The
beauty of Alroma will mesmerize you
immediately so that all you can do is
stick your eyes on the car window,
contemplating the surroundings.
That's a gift from nature to any of her
devotee.
Monsoon season adds such a
distinctive green color to the nature
that you will be absolutely amazed
and will wonder why other people
are scared of this season, whilst
it's the best time to see the pure
beauty of nature so green and lively.
Interestingly, you will never know
what's behind the veil of fogs. That's
what you will realize when you reach
Almora.

Fresh sun rays and
the fascinating taste
of mountain winds
will lead you to the
last destination,
inviting you to
enjoy the breath of Himalayan
nature, the peacefulness of nature, as
traditional songs echo from the mighty
mountains, and small lives.
Fog gets denser and starts the game
with its friend - clouds - right before
we reach Almora. During rainy season,
Almora looks like it's being hit in the
face with a water balloon filled with
the color of life. This small hill town
is home to sights of the charming
beauty of Himalayan ranges during
both sunrise and sunset. If you get off
the shared jeep in the late afternoon,
you can't escape from the game of fog
and clouds in Almora. This is the most
interesting and enchanting thing that
you cannot get in any other season.
Upon arriving at Kasar Devi temple on
the hilltop, take the opportunity to see
the Himalays and take another jeep
to start your game with the fog and
clouds.
The shared jeep will leave you in
an area where you will be able to
find many guest houses or hotels in
Kasar Devi village. Kasar Devi is also
called terrace village because villagers
built their houses on the side of the
mountain, offering an amazing view
of Himalayan ranges. But the fog and
clouds won't let you enjoy it as easy as
travel guides might tell you. Beware!
The beauty of the fog is that we see
nothing but you will be thrilled by
their hidden mysterious beauty.
If you think that you will find your
guesthouse easily, then you have
been taken by the trap of Almora in
monsoon season. I certainly was. Fog
never wants to play an easy game. It
prevents you from any hope of seeing
clear roads or paths leading to your
place. Instead you have to keep your
awareness level high while at the same
time reminding yourself not to be
scared. Follow the small signal boards
on a zigzag down tracks with sudden
changes that you only know when you
reach it due to the veil of fog.
If you're supposed to wake up early in
the morning to see the majestic view
of the Himalayas during sunrise, you
can allow yourself to relax and sleep
in the pleasant weather there. Fog
and clouds will play for a while till
lunch time, chasing and catching each
other until the sunshine paints some
rays on the rooftop of each house.
Drops become pure and sparkling.

The utmost beauty of Almora is its simple life. There are some

calmly in front of their house looking at the serene nature.
kitchens rising into the air. Mother Nature
is most charming in the morning. You
will be astonished by the calm picture of
Almora at this time a day. Sit back and
savor the moment. It will keep you away
from your chaotic thoughts of the outside
world, in turn allowing you to think about
your life and seek new inspirations.
But that moment won't last too long as
fog and clouds never forget to return.
All backgrounds become grey with their
particular taste of monsoon - wind with
a little rain. When the time runs out, you
can see the blue sky once again with its
majestic portrayal of the Himalayan ranges,
its a time when you get to know that you're
so lucky to be in that moment.
The utmost beauty of Almora is its simple
life. It's simple in every aspect of daily life.
There are some scattered houses in the
village where you can see old people sitting
calmly in front of their house looking at the
serene nature. There are some laughing
school children on their way back home
under the familiar foggy game. This is the
simple life that you can't find anywhere
outside the world of Almora.
The sunset comes like the last hope at the
end of the day to let you enjoy the moment
of truth. It is a passionate sunset for the
lover of nature. It picks your mind up with
a miraculous combination of end of the day
sunshine rays and fog, fog coming up from
the Earth to join with its companion and
creates a remarkably harmonious moment
of nature; the light lifts the fog step by step
till the time its ready to start covering the
village with Her mystical veil one more
time.
The sound of bells ringing from Kasar Devi
temple pull everything back to harmony
and remind me this mysterious world truly
exists behind the magical veil of fog in
monsoon season this world that not many
people outside the veil know about. It's an
amazing gift of Mother Nature that anyone
would feel lucky to witness.

The number of sea turtles is dramatically decreasing not only because of damaged habitats but also
due to human over-exploitation. Turtle meat and eggs are served as food while their shells are taken to
make stuffing forms and crafts. It's high time for us to act and prevent this alarming issue.
TRAVELLIVE 133

The egg is as small
as a ping-pong ball,
but its amount of
cholesterol is 20
times higher than
that of chicken
egg, an excess of
which can lead to
heart attack or
stroke. Turtle eggs
are definitely not
magical as they
might be rumored
to be.

You know what, in
1000 baby turtles
only 600 ones
are successful in
finding their way to
the swallow water near the shore.
Among them, only one turtle is
strong enough to survive and
return to the beach to lay eggs
after 15-20 years. What's more is
this extremely low rate has been
affected by humans for decades.
In Vietnam, Con Dao National
Park is considered a paradise
for turtles to lay eggs at with 14
large beaches including Hon
Bay Canh, Hon Cau, and Hon
Tre Lon, spanning a total area of
dozens of thousands of square
some. Observing a turtle surfing
on the water to find a place to
lay her eggs is an intriguing
experience.
Not many people know that, when
laying eggs, turtles do not know if
their children are male or female.
While human sex is formed by
chromosomal structures, sand's
temperature and environment
are the key factors to decide a
turtle sex. Incubating eggs at high
temperature (above 29 degrees
C) produces more females, while
lower temperatures produce
more males. Researchers indicate
that turtles can choose the areas
with suitable sand's temperature
to choose their children's sex.
after years.
The fantasy world on the ocean
floor with the huge diversity of
fish and colorful coral reefs are
exciting but dangerous to baby
turtles. Upon reaching the water,
they will swim continuously
for 2-5 days without food. Their
first year of life is known as the
"disappearing year" as they are
rarely found during this period.
How they can survive in their
first year is still a mystery for
scientists, for no device can track
the development of baby turtles in
their first stage of life.
In addition to the rigors of nature,
sea turtles now have to struggle to
This new year, why don't we make efforts to change this sad fact, to build a
peaceful "house" of healthy ecosystem so that the little turtle can safely "find
their way home" after years of living in the ocean?
kilometers. If you have a chance,
then visit Hon Bay Canh in the
east of Con Son island. Here, the
island's two parts are connected
by a sand beach named Bai Cat
Lon (the large sand beach). This
is where sea turtles most often lay
their eggs. Meanwhile, Hon Tre
Lon is a pristine island and home
to various examples of nature
such as coral, fish, bird nests, and,
especially, sea turtles. There are
several rangers living and working
to protect the island's natural
landscape and wild life.
The breeding season of sea turtles
lasts from April to October, in
which the peak season is from
July to September. You are only
allowed to visit Bay Canh island
for 4-6 hours, or, at most, a night
stay to watch turtles lay eggs. To
do that, you must ask for a permit
from the National Park on the
Con Son island (the permit is
free of charge and valid until 5pm
the next day). In each breeding
season, a turtle lays eggs in 2-5
nests. Each nest consists of 50
to 150 eggs, or even up to 200 in
In Con Dao, rangers support to
balance turtle sexes by taking a
half of eggs to a place with more
sunshine while covering the other
under a sunscreen. After 45 to 60
days, the baby turtles hatch from
their eggs.
The baby turtles then find their
way to the sea by the skyline,
moonlight, stars, and the slope of
sand. Therefore, if the turtle mom
lays its eggs near residential areas
which have strong light, baby
turtles will misunderstand and
move backward to that direction
away from the sea. As a result, the
baby turtles will die due to lack
of water and being exhausted.
Newly born turtles are weak but
they need to "take an adventure"
on the beach full of enemies such
as ants, craps, iguanas, dogs,
and cats. Even when they reach
the water and swim through the
shallow area, they are threatened
by big fish and hunting sea birds.
It is amazing that, although they
only spend a matter of hours on
the beach, turtles remember and
find the way back there to lay eggs
survive with pollution and human
poaching. Turtle eggs are believed
to be a nutritious food and a local
specialty. Sometimes, you will
even see some tourists innocently
ask volunteers on the beach to buy
some eggs ... to try eating! The
egg is as small as a ping-pong ball,
but its amount of cholesterol is 20
times higher than that of chicken
egg, an excess of which can lead
to heart attack or stroke. Sea
turtles are hunted to exhaustion
while their hatching environment
is devastated. That's why the
number of sea turtles in Con Dao
and other areas in Vietnam has
dramatically decreased.
This New Year, why don't we
make efforts to change this sad
fact, to build a peaceful "house"
with a healthy ecosystem so that
the little turtles can safely "find
their way home" after years of
living in the ocean? Protecting
sea turtles, witnessing turtle
mothers make nest to lay eggs,
and watching thousands of baby
turtles toddling to the sea are
amazing experiences.
