TRAVELLIVE 03-2017

March comes when every available space is full of flowers’ scents and lush green plants. It comes dripping rain, with white cherry-apricot blossoms, the murmur of green pine forests, and pure water sparkling under the first rays of the sun. I take a bus to the city’s suburb in the early morning. The bus is full of sleepy passengers leaning their head near the windows. The bus slowly runs along the familiar road, passing through familiar people. Some boys are playing marbles in front of their house, trying to catch the running spheres which glint in the light of the day’s sun. A girl wearing áo bà ba (traditional shirt) is preparing tea before visiting an old village. A Korean friend wearing nón lá (Vietnamese conical hat) is buying tea, busy with his phone. My girlfriend says she loves saving her trips by photos. The photos are not used to showcase where she has visited or who she has met. Rather they’re for her personal use. In her free time she opens her online dairy, goes through the photos and reminisces upon all the great memories during her trips. In my camera, March is beautiful. It retains the purity of spring but is tinted with a bit of the playfulness of summer. In my photos, a little girl standing on chair finds her March in little red Antigone flowers. Meanwhile, a farmer working in the plateau finds his March on hills covered with white coffee flowers. And, where is your March?

intercultural architectural museum where<br />

traditional Vietnamese materials such as<br />

bamboo and wood meet their Western<br />

"friends" - bricks, glass, and cement.

March comes when every available space is full<br />

of flowers’ scents and lush green plants. It comes<br />

dripping rain, with white cherry-apricot blossoms,<br />

the murmur of green pine forests, and pure water<br />

sparkling under the first rays of the sun.<br />

I take a bus to the city’s suburb in the early morning.<br />

The bus is full of sleepy passengers leaning their head<br />

near the windows. The bus slowly runs along the<br />

familiar road, passing through familiar people. Some<br />

boys are playing marbles in front of their house, trying<br />

to catch the running spheres which glint in the light of<br />

the day’s sun. A girl wearing ∏o bµ ba (traditional<br />

shirt) is preparing tea before visiting an old village.<br />

A Korean friend wearing n„n l∏ (Vietnamese conical<br />

hat) is buying tea, busy with his phone.<br />

My friend says she loves saving her trips by photos.<br />

The photos are not used to showcase where she has<br />

visited or who she has met. Rather they’re for her<br />

personal use. In her free time she opens her online<br />

dairy, goes through the photos and reminisces upon<br />

all the great memories during her trips.<br />

In my camera, March is beautiful. It retains the purity<br />

of spring but is tinted with a bit of the playfulness<br />

of summer. In my photos, a little girl standing on<br />

chair finds her March in little red Antigone flowers.<br />

Meanwhile, a farmer working in the plateau finds his<br />

March on hills covered with white coffee flowers.<br />

And, where is your March?<br />

When bamboo steamers are opened, your<br />

senses will be aroused simultaneously by colors,<br />

shapes, flavors and fragrances. Only then will you<br />

understand, how cuisine can reach the level of art.<br />

Popular recipes as well as ingredients are pretty<br />

common and easy to find in daily life. However,<br />

with inventive minds and talented hands, chefs can<br />

create around 100 different types of Dim Sum<br />

such as steamed buns, dumplings, steamed pork<br />

dumplings (siu mai), spring rolls, and many more<br />

dishes - a whole "food culture" you can hardly<br />

explore at one time.<br />

It is thought that Dim Sum has its origins from<br />

small teahouses on the Silk Road where traders<br />

relaxed after long journeys. In Hong Kong and<br />

small towns of Guangdong, Dim Sum is served<br />

in the early morning so that people, after doing<br />

morning exercises, can visit teahouses to have<br />

breakfast and conversation there. In Southern<br />

Chinese towns, such teahouses are for families to<br />

unite on the weekend. Nowadays, you can try Dim<br />

Sum anytime. Nevertheless, this low-starch and<br />

high-protein dish perfectly fits with drinking tea<br />

early in the morning.<br />

Let's take a look at the quintessential Dim Sum<br />

dishes in Chinese cuisine:<br />

Dumplings: Steamed shrimp dumplings (Har<br />

Gow) dish are a must-mention when talking about<br />

Dim Sum. It is a combination of flavor and shape.<br />

The pinkish shrimp meat seen through translucent<br />

dough is exceptionally eye-catching and appetizing.<br />

Dumplings are best enjoyed with chili and soy<br />

sauces.<br />

Siu Mai: Siu Mai is one of Dim Sum's traditional<br />

dishes with light yellow wrappers added orange,<br />

fish, meat, or crab eggs. Siu Mai is typically filled<br />

with pork, shrimp or even sometimes with<br />

mushrooms and can be enjoyed with soy or chili<br />

sauces.<br />

pHoenix talons (chicken feet in black<br />

bean sauce): Chicken feet are mixed with black<br />

bean sauce then steamed with herbs and spices.<br />

The flavor of chicken feet with bean sauce will<br />

bring a brand new and unforgettable experience to<br />

first-time eaters.<br />

Char Siu Bao (steamed pork buns): Char Siu<br />

Bao is a typical Dimsum dish. Enjoying the hot dish,<br />

customers can bask in the appealing fragrance as<br />

well as yummy and savory flavor of char siu cooked<br />

with sauces like dark soy, soy and oyster sauces.<br />

Liu Sha Bao (molten salted egg custard<br />

steamed buns): Liu Sha Bao is an extremely special<br />

steamed bun dish with an aromatic, rich and<br />

absolutely delicious filling of milk and eggs.<br />

The Classic Ana Mandara Resort in The Heart of Dalat<br />

Located on the mountainside at the height of 1500m above sea level, Ana Mandar Villas Dalat features a classic beauty with nearly 100-year-old villas<br />

surrounded by endless pine forests. The resort is a longstanding witness to history as its villas were built residences for officials and upper class families in the<br />

1920s-1930s when Dalat was still a pristine place. Each villa is a blend of private and shared spaces including living room, kitchen, and bed room, all spacious<br />

yet intimate. What could be better than enjoying the summer time in a tranquil place with the influences of French suburbs with vegetable gardens, fruits, and<br />

flowers along serene stone pathways.<br />

NINH BINH The latest release of Kong:<br />

Skull Island - the greatest Hollywood<br />

blockbuster filmed in Vietnam to date<br />

- has gained lots of attention from movie<br />

experts and fans, making them curious about<br />

the landscapes as well as the cultural and<br />

culinary life in Vietnam as made famous by<br />

the stars during the film production.<br />

It is no surprise that Ninh Binh, which is<br />

known as the fairy land in the North of<br />

Vietnam with magnificent landscapes, was<br />

chosen as the destination for the film crew<br />

for one month. Adjacent to the pristine Van<br />

Long Natural Reserve - one of the film’s<br />

three main settings - in the ancient capital is<br />

Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh. This stunning<br />

and secluded 5-star resort was proud to<br />

offer the accommodation for the film crew<br />

during their time there.<br />

Immerse yourself in the<br />

nature at deluxe room<br />

As the most luxurious class of room at<br />

Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh, the Deluxe<br />

room is an ideal living space chosen by<br />

famous members of the Hollywood film<br />

crew. With an area of 77m 2 , the Deluxe<br />

room boasts an interior completely made<br />

from wood. The room is designed in the<br />

style of the Vietnamese Tonkin with a<br />

beautiful view to the lush green garden and<br />

majestic mountains from the private terrace.<br />

The modern and spacious bathroom with<br />

outdoor shower allows you to completely<br />

immerse yourself in nature.<br />

Each Deluxe room is isolated and<br />

surrounded by a green fence of trees. There<br />

is a shared swimming pool for each cluster,<br />

all connected by meandering pathways<br />

adorned with plants and flowers. Head back<br />

to your room after a long working day to<br />

take a nice rest and enjoy slowliving days<br />

on the weekend after tiring weekdays laden<br />

with a heavy workload. Allow the serenity<br />

of the Emeralda Resort to wipe away all<br />

your weariness.<br />

Enjoy Vietnamese cuisine<br />

and fine European dishes in<br />

the tranquil space of<br />

tonkin village<br />

Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh features 2<br />

high-class restaurants in its green area of<br />

16ha. Sen restaurant offers guests breakfast<br />

specialties with the distinct tastes from the<br />

three regions of Vietnam as well as European<br />

breakfast while Organics introduces a lavish<br />

lunch and dinner menu including Ninh Binh<br />

cuisine and the finest Asian-European dishes.<br />

The diversity in dining options brings guests<br />

a chance to experience both Vietnamese<br />

culinary highlights in the traditional space<br />

as well as favorite Western dishes fit for<br />

Hollywood stars.<br />

Relax and balance your mind<br />

and body at the pure and<br />

beautiful spa<br />

Branded as the 5-star La Cochinchine<br />

Luxury Spa, the spa paradise at Emeralda<br />

Resort Ninh Binh is an ideal place for<br />

relaxing therapies and healthcare services.<br />

The spa was certainly busy during the<br />

time the crew stayed at the resort as the<br />

crew sought respite from endless hours of<br />

shooting. Among an array of therapies and<br />

pampering, facial and body massages, exotic<br />

body exfoliation and wraps, aromatherapy,<br />

sauna and steam, Emeralda Harmony<br />

Treatment body massage were the "hottest"<br />

choice of the crew.<br />

To celebrate the launch of Kong: Skull<br />

Island, Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh is<br />

introducing the Hollywood Home package,<br />

including accommodation with daily<br />

breakfast, a dinner, and a spa treatment.<br />

Price starts at VND3,850,000/night.<br />

With the package, you will have a chance<br />

to experience high-end services like<br />

Hollywood stars.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

HANOI A silent moment to watch a falling<br />

cherry blossom, to wake up in the middle of<br />

nowhere and breathe in the fresh foggy air<br />

of the dawn, to dip our mind in the flow of<br />

peaceful thoughts... These precious moments<br />

have been taken away in our hurried life.<br />

That is why more and more people are<br />

returning to a simple yet balanced and<br />

meaningful lifestyle - Zen. Originated from<br />

the communities of the Far East, Zen<br />

embraces the true happiness coming from<br />

the connection of mind and body, the<br />

harmony between human and nature, the<br />

stillness, peace and calmness.<br />

Zen is not a religion; it is a way of life. Zen is<br />

a lifestyle of simplicity, harmony and origins.<br />

We practice Zen by living every moment to<br />

the fullest, by giving up dualism, anxiety and<br />

jealousy, by releasing our natural altruistic<br />

instinct.<br />

However, Zen lifestyle requires a little<br />

more than thoughts and ideas. Living life<br />

following Zen philosophy also needs a<br />

suitable environment of quietness and<br />

simplicity that favors the practice of Zen.<br />

Some may think this somehow seems<br />

unmatched with the busy daily life in a<br />

crowded city as Ha Noi. Will anyone of us<br />

actually give up the pursuit of dreams as a<br />

price to achieve true happiness?<br />

The answer is no, thanks to the rise of<br />

Zen architecture. A house with Zen<br />

design provides wonderful conditions to<br />

practice Zen for its owner. The simplicity<br />

and elegance and harmony of Zen concept<br />

has become the inspiration for many<br />

architects and brings many positive effects<br />

to domestic houses in Ha Noi. The details<br />

may be different for each owner's needs or<br />

culture, but the main concept always follows<br />

the basic idea of Zen with peaceful space,<br />

closeness to nature, and the minimalism of<br />

furniture and detail.<br />

In Vietnam, Zen concept has become a new<br />

trend in architecture; it is applied in many<br />

modern works, such as the Sorae Lounge<br />

in Sai Gon, or in the upcoming The Zen<br />

Residence by Gamuda Land, a Zen-inspired<br />

building right in the middle of the busy city of<br />

Ha Noi. The trend is drawing much attention<br />

from the public; even the pickiest customer<br />

is persuaded by the charming elegant design<br />

of Zen architecture. Within a Zen-designed<br />

space, one may find the best condition to<br />

practice Zen, which enables us to feel the<br />

most calm and peaceful but with modern<br />

twist. Inspired by these ideas, Zen houses and<br />

buildings have come to life. There is no need<br />

to prepare for long and undefined pilgrims<br />

to unchain you from the burden of life, find<br />

yourself in the middle of Zen -living space,<br />

each and every day, you will understand the<br />

true meaning of peace, of Zen, where you<br />

live every moment of your life to the fullest.<br />

In Q2/<strong>2017</strong>, Gamuda Land officially introduces<br />

The ZEN Residence, the third luxury<br />

apartment in Gamuda Gardens Township, Hoang<br />

Mai district, Ha Noi. Based on Zen concept,<br />

with a variety of apartment units ranging from<br />

private studios to high-end penthouses, The<br />

ZEN Residence promises to be an exceptional<br />

architectural remark among the rise of luxury<br />

apartments in Ha Noi.<br />

When the castle gets<br />

out of the fairy tale<br />

HCMC If you are seeking a tranquil<br />

place to relax, read books, meet friends,<br />

and enjoy delicious meals, then The<br />

Alcove Library Hotel is your destination<br />

this holiday.<br />

With its architecture<br />

designed in a Western<br />

style, the hotel features<br />

a classic and romantic<br />

beauty, satisfying all guests with warm<br />

interior decor, state-of-art facilities, and<br />

the vintage hotel’s unique space. The<br />

Alcove Hotel is composed of one main<br />

lounge and 5 stories, including 4 stories<br />

of guest rooms and the luxurious and<br />

classic rooftop bar and restaurant on<br />

the 5th floor. The hotel will certainly<br />

impress you from the very first moment<br />

you see the small terrace nestled near<br />

the entrance, adorned with a beautiful<br />

flower garden, until you finally<br />

check-out from your almost fairy-tale<br />

like stay.<br />

The highlight of The Alcove lies on its<br />

combination of a hotel and library. It<br />

is not simply a hotel but offers guest a<br />

great chance to enjoy a truly extensive<br />

library set in the main lounge. The<br />

library is home to hundreds of foreign<br />

language books in various genres, from<br />

fiction to economics, to education.<br />

There is even a bookshelf for kids as<br />

well. All the decorations and interior<br />

details such as the black & white<br />

paintings, a sofa in deep colors, and the<br />

tiles with flower patterns all offer an<br />

elegant Western beauty to the hotel.<br />

The most unique and perhaps romantic<br />

thing about The Alcove Hotel is that<br />

it offers guests a "goodnight blessing".<br />

Every night before the night hours when<br />

we surrender ourselves to dreams, the<br />

hotel’s staff visit each room, clean the<br />

bedding, and set on it a bar of chocolate,<br />

one rose, and a piece of story, wishing<br />

you a sweet night.<br />

The Alcove Library attracts not only<br />

visitors but business people. Apart from<br />

room amenities, the hotel is appealing<br />

to professionals thanks to the selection<br />

of the latest and most useful books in a<br />

plethora of different categories as well<br />

as updated news. Guests are invited<br />

to easily access the hotel’s wealth of<br />

knowledge while working and relaxing at<br />

the same time.<br />

A warm place with stunning sunshine, blue ocean, and the<br />

enchanting flavor of tequila are what visitors often share<br />

about Mexico. However, it would not be complete when<br />

talking about Mexico to not mentioning about crops such as<br />

corn, tomatoes, and red chili which are abundant and create<br />

the "taste" of this country.<br />

food&beverage<br />

MEXICO'S CULINARY arts are always considered a dance<br />

performance of colors and tastes. The appealing hot taste<br />

of traditional cuisine has its power to entice any visitor. For<br />

numerous visitor, locals, and even culinary experts, Empanadas<br />

have a unqiue attraction.<br />

Empanadas are a type of pastry stuffed with chicken,<br />

beef, or cheese and fried until golden brown. In<br />

Mexico, the meal is enjoyed with breakfast, lunch,<br />

or dinner, but it actually perfect as a snack in family<br />

parties. The attraction of Empanadas comes from the<br />

rich taste of meat blended with a gentle cinnamon scent<br />

and best served with chopped vegetables.<br />

There are numerous pastries around the world like<br />

Empanadas such as dumplings and stuffed breads in England<br />

and Cornwall, Pierogis in Poland, and Pastels in Brazil. In the<br />

case of Empanadas, a savory fi lling is used when they're made<br />

as main meals while a sweet fi lling is ideal to serve as dessert,<br />

especially with a cup of tea or coffee. The dish could be served<br />

with sauce (Argentinean chimichurri sauce is most popular).<br />

Most of the people who have tried Empanadas realize that it is<br />

an easy-to-make cake. All you need to do is to prepare the fi lling,<br />

stuff it into the dough and fry the entire delicious package.<br />

There are also different choices to make the dough, from wheat<br />

flour, to corn flour, potato fl our or even sweet potato fl our. The<br />

type of flour is chosen depending on your time and which type<br />

of cake you want, fried or baked ones.<br />

Not only easy to make, Empanadas are also a "diverse" type of<br />

pastry. You are free to choose and change the taste by preparing<br />

the fillings as you like. Enjoy traditional Empanadas or "design"<br />

your own cakes prepared with endless inspiration.<br />

This dish with delicious sauce can entice all your senses and is<br />

especially attractive to discerning younger diners.<br />

It would be a mistake to talk about Quebec, the beautiful<br />

city in Eastern Canada which has been recognized as<br />

a world's cultural heritage site since 1985, without<br />

mentioning its unique culinary tradition. Among the<br />

world renowned dishes there, Poutine would certainly be<br />

the most popular and impressive.<br />

It is the harmony of luxury and simplicity, said Jonny Garrett,<br />

a food reviewer, after enjoying Poutine in the poetic Quäbec.<br />

Traditional Poutine is mainly prepared with French fries,<br />

beef gravy, and cheese curds. According to a number of critics,<br />

the dish is a "weird mixed something of fries, beef gravy and<br />

cheese curds". However, the dish possesses a certain fascination<br />

through its tasty simplicity. The dish has become more and more<br />

popular with not only Canadians, but<br />

other nationalities as well.<br />

Numerous variations of Poutine also<br />

include different ingredients such as<br />

beef, pork, lamb, lobster, giant tiger<br />

prawn, rabbit, caviar, mushrooms, or<br />

even soda.<br />

Nevertheless, in tourists' opinions,<br />

traditional Poutine, the kind available<br />

on vendor trucks along Quäbec<br />

roadsides, is always the best. Potatoes<br />

are cut to be fairly thin so that the gravy<br />

can filter down between the decadent<br />

layers when it's poured over the top. Fried in a home-made style,<br />

the potatoes must be crispy, so that when the gravy hits they<br />

absorb it to create a sloppy but still resilient texture.<br />

Cheese curds for Poutine shouldn't be too thick or compacted.<br />

They are prepared in the simplest ways, developing a signature<br />

fermented smell. As cheese curds are not compacted, they<br />

will squeak- yes, squeak- when you eat them with fries and<br />

gravy, a totally different experience from other types of cheese.<br />

Meanwhile, the sauce is a combination of beef stock, salt, a little<br />

pepper, with thick and sweet beef gravy. Beef stock is considered<br />

perfect for Poutine as it is viscous and just a tad bit sweet. A<br />

little vinegar, blueberry, or sour flavor is added to balance the<br />

dish's tastes with cheese and fries. Clearly this is more unique an<br />

intricate a dish than one might have originally suspected.<br />

If you have a chance to visit Quäbec, then don't forget to enjoy<br />

Poutine at several renowned places such as Ashton, Snack Bar St-<br />

Jean, Chic Shack, La Fabrique Montcalm, and Panache Mobile.<br />

Don't hesitate to join fascinating food tours offering you<br />

irresistible mouthwatering Poutine.<br />

LOCALS add you tiao and fl uffy<br />

pemmican to a cup of soymilk, season<br />

it with spices, mix the whole thing well<br />

and enjoy it like porridge. You should<br />

try this dish in the morning since<br />

most of restaurants selling breakfast<br />

dishes in Taiwan close after 12:00pm.<br />

I stopped by YongHe Soy Milk King<br />

near the MRT station and bought a<br />

hot cup of soy milk with good you tiao<br />

for about 20 NT$ (about 0.64USD).<br />

Here, you are offered a wide range of<br />

traditional Taiwanese breakfast dishes<br />

such as egg rolls and rice roll crepes.<br />

Savoring you tiao in hot soy milk<br />

during the chilling early morning in<br />

Taipei will bring you a gentle feeling<br />

of warmth and contentment for sure. I<br />

love such lazy days, getting away from<br />

busy markets full of visitors, strolling<br />

down streets and just enjoying the<br />

simple life of the locals.<br />

It's quite easy to make you tiao. Mix<br />

fl our, baking powder, sugar, salt, and<br />

water then add chicken egg. Knead<br />

the dough, and let it rest in a warm<br />

area for about an hour. Put some flour<br />

on a wood board (to prevent sticking)<br />

roll the dough and cut it into strips.<br />

Deep fry strips of the dough, two at<br />

a time, until they become crispy and<br />

rich golden-yellow you tiao. You tiao<br />

has its origins dating back to the story<br />

of prominent military general Yue Fei.<br />

During that period, the traitor Qin Hui<br />

and his wife fabricated charges against<br />

Yue Fei leading to his execution. The<br />

people hated Qin Hui afterwards.<br />

Inspired by popular Buddhist belief of<br />

punishment in hell for evil doers, they<br />

shaped two pieces of dough into Qin<br />

Hin and his wife, and dipped them in<br />

boiling hot oil. People began to call<br />

this food "You Zha Hui", today's You<br />

Tiao.<br />

The food gets more exciting and<br />

diverse as you tiao has different<br />

variations in different countries. While<br />

people in Taiwan enjoy the mixture<br />

of you tiao, pemmican, spring onion,<br />

and spices in soy milk like porridge,<br />

Singaporeans have stuffed you tiao<br />

with fi sh or squid (sotong) with<br />

mayonnaise. In Hanoi, Vietnam we<br />

love you tiao with a hot bowl of phÎ<br />

(Vietnamese noodles). And thousands<br />

of you tiao "versions" can be found in<br />

Thailand, Laos, and China.<br />

THE CITY IS ALWAYS an ideal place to stroll through the<br />

forest of maple trees, take a short rest under a pine while<br />

listening to the winds and looking at the sky painted with<br />

candy-like clouds.<br />

If you have a chance to visit this enchanting city, don't<br />

forget to savor a cup of hot coffee or a serving of rich and<br />

fragrant cheese yogurt. Then, cross by an old rail station<br />

and visit the cozy wooden houses at Monet Garden which<br />

are covered by large gardens. Somewhere is a girl with<br />

black hair and red lips happily walking along the winding<br />

paths adorned by plants. Stay here for a night, enjoy your<br />

sweet dream, and wake up in the morning to the songs<br />

of birds outside the window and the sounds of village life<br />

coming alive as farmers go to the market. It is a special<br />

feeling when you get away from the outside world, hiding<br />

yourself in an intimate space or reading good books on the<br />

balcony full of the plateau's sunshine.<br />

HAVING TRAVELED a lot and met new people in different places, I realize that we are living with our own clocks, rather than those<br />

belonging to others. It is not compulsory that we must be mature at the age of 18, get marriage at 25 and achieve our goals at 30. Why<br />

do we have to live with such fixed clocks, clocks set by others? Why could the time sharing with loved ones be considered wasted?<br />

As John Lennon said "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted", I love enjoying free time on sidewalks. In Vietnam, sidewalks are home<br />

to thousands of interests. Sidewalks are simple yet represent the true life of the Vietnamese people throughout history. In Tr ßÍi- a<br />

movie based on the book by Vu Trong Phung, it's so strange that cigarettes were sold on sidewalks since, at that time, cigarettes were so<br />

expensive that only the rich could afford them! Nowadays, you can find everything there, from street foods such as bÛn ch∂ (vermicelli<br />

with grilled pork), fried spring rolls, and cËm xµo (stir-fried green rice) to cigarettes and ice tea. And trµ Æ∏ (Vietnamese ice tea) on<br />

sidewalks in Hanoi could be something signature representing cultural values.<br />

I love the scenes from old films in which children carried tea pots (made from clay or tinplate) and bowls going around markets, stations,<br />

wharf, and on trains to sell tea. Now, no one works like for just a few cents. Those who like ice tea just stop by small restaurants or stalls<br />

on the sidewalks, sitting there without any disturbance. Sometimes, the sellers even become storytellers.<br />

The stalls are also interesting. An old-fashioned thermos bottle, a tea pot, cups, and a few small plastic chairs are enough. Ice tea itself is<br />

nothing special and carries with it little aroma. If the seller makes it with too much water, it even tastes like... pure water with the flavor of<br />

tea. However, no matter how busy you are, set a "date" with your friends on the sidewalk and slowly savor tea, chatting about everything<br />

surrounding you. Life would be such simple.<br />

And, as a saying has it, don't be rush in Hanoi!<br />

Dubai, a city in the United Arab<br />

Emirates (UAE) has an area of<br />

over 1.000 square kilometers,<br />

and yet only just over 2 million<br />

residents. Dubai's wealth<br />

and luxury are thought to be<br />

dependent on oil industry;<br />

however, its main revenues<br />

come from tourism, finance and<br />

real estate. Dubai has turned its<br />

weakness of an "arid desert" into<br />

a unique "unusual dish" - the<br />

most desirable one on the "travel<br />

menu".<br />

"City tour", discovering<br />

the sumptuous city<br />

Hop on - Hop off tours are the<br />

most popular means of transport<br />

when making an obligatory "city<br />

tour" in many places all over<br />

the world. However, in Dubai,<br />

private cars are much more<br />

appropriate. The end of January<br />

is comparatively cool with a<br />

temperature of 27 degrees along<br />

with dry, windy climate, and<br />

intense sunlight that necessitates<br />

scarves, hats and glasses.<br />

Dubai is a city with endless<br />

skyscrapers, boasting its<br />

modernity, but it also features<br />

more traditional Arabic<br />

architecture. The ever-expanding<br />

winding roads, continuous<br />

real estate development, and<br />

ever more daring construction<br />

endeavors seen throughout the<br />

site are testament that Dubai<br />

does not intend to stop growing.<br />

Being a coastal city built on<br />

a desert, it is hard to see the<br />

emerald green of trees in Dubai.<br />

Sometimes, there are just groves<br />

with rugged branches.<br />

Prime destinations and must-do<br />

activities in a Dubai "city tour"<br />

include wandering in the ancient<br />

city of Al Fahidi, and walking<br />

on the coastal road of renowned<br />

Palm Island. In addition, visitors<br />

can bask in awe before the Burj<br />

Al Arab - the most luxurious<br />

7-star hotel in the world. Then<br />

impressive sail-shaped silhouette<br />

built on the sea across from the<br />

channel viewed at sunset from<br />

a water taxi (motor-boat) will<br />

give some perspective as to what<br />

humans can accomplish.<br />

AN APPEALING<br />

DESTINATION FOR ASIA'S<br />

WELL-TO-DO<br />

A decade ago, America and Europe were dream destinations. However,<br />

in the last few years, Dubai has emerged as a new, closer, and luxurious<br />

paradise for wealthy travelers hailing from Asia.<br />

Shops are bright with numerous products of gold and gems galore.<br />

Each shop is magnificent and luxurious the same as the treasure in<br />

the folk tale "One thousand and one nights".

nights". The market retailers<br />

are all men, most of whom<br />

were immigrants with different<br />

nationalities.<br />

Modernity aside, the most<br />

interesting thing to do is visiting<br />

Spice and Gold Souks.<br />

The Spice and Gold Souks are<br />

two separate traditional markets.<br />

Tourists are oft fascinated and<br />

tend to buy more goods than<br />

planned here. The spice Souk<br />

mainly sells dry goods, spices,<br />

and fragrances with hundreds<br />

of items in stock from tea, dried<br />

flowers, seeds, and dried fruits,<br />

to traditional cakes, jams and<br />

candies goods all available in<br />

a range of vibrant colors and<br />

eye-catching shapes. Dried date<br />

palms are the most popular<br />

goods sold in every shop which<br />

tourists can comfortably try<br />

and haggle over. Although date<br />

palms are sold by the kilogram,<br />

there is a huge difference in<br />

prices according to their quality.<br />

Delve deep inside the markets<br />

and you'll find, after passing<br />

the Spice Souk, the Gold Souk.<br />

There may be nowhere else<br />

with quiet to many gold and<br />

jewelry shops gathered more<br />

densely than this market. There<br />

must be hundreds of endless<br />

small and big shops lying next<br />

to each other. Gold Souk sells<br />

only gold and products made of<br />

gold. Even in the evening hours<br />

the market is awash in tourists<br />

and customers all throughout<br />

the area. Shops are bright with<br />

numerous products of gold,<br />

and gems galore. Each shop is<br />

magnificent and luxurious the<br />

Deceiving NIGHT<br />

in desert<br />

Saying goodbye to the 7-star sailshaped<br />

hotel, the Palm Island<br />

with luxurious villas, and the<br />

city with skyscrapers, we began<br />

our "Safari Night" journey at<br />

3pm, an appropriate time to both<br />

avoid the harsh temperature of<br />

midday and while still having<br />

time to see the desert sunset.<br />

After about one and a half hours<br />

travelling by car out of the city,<br />

the desert welcomed us with<br />

its endless beauty highlighted<br />

with some low bushes and<br />

small groups of date-palms. We<br />

stopped to drink water and watch<br />

falcon show before going deeper<br />

to the heart of the desert. The<br />

show in which falcons display<br />

their hunting prowess is favorite<br />

traditional show and sport here.<br />

After the show ended, everyone,<br />

regardless of nationality, age,<br />

or gender lined up to take a<br />

photo with the trainee and<br />

his masterful falcon. We then<br />

continued to explore the desert<br />

by a 7-seat all-terrain Toyota.<br />

Our driver was an immigrant<br />

from Syria, thin tall, and quiet,<br />

yet humorous. He asked us<br />

to always wear safety belts,<br />

not arbitrarily lower the<br />

car windows, and tell him<br />

immediately if we felt ill. All<br />

the vehicles were checked<br />

carefully that the tires were not<br />

too inflated (slightly flat tires<br />

allow for better traction in the<br />

sand). We were curious at first,<br />

wondering why the rules were so<br />

strict but we got the surprising<br />

answer just a few minutes later.<br />

Dubai covers an area of more than 4000km 2 , however,<br />

three quarters of this small country is deserts while<br />

the new urban area was built in only 1000km 2 .<br />

he convoy,<br />

consisting of<br />

more than 10<br />

cars, entered<br />

the desert.<br />

No more flat<br />

areas, the desert<br />

welcomed us<br />

with large sand<br />

dunes, steep<br />

sand holes, and<br />

unexpected bends. Passengers<br />

started shouting and clutching<br />

their chairs trying to avoid<br />

knocking heads with other<br />

passengers. Some cars had to<br />

stop as passenger's progressively<br />

got ill. The most frightening<br />

yet exciting moment was when<br />

the car suddenly stopped while<br />

trying to climb the slope and<br />

then almost free fell down the<br />

other side of the slope like a sled<br />

down a snow-covered hill.<br />

After a dozen kilometers, the<br />

convoy stopped at a high point<br />

in the desert, an ideal spot to<br />

admire the beauty of sunset and<br />

take photos. Just a few minutes<br />

later, the sun went away, letting<br />

darkness cover the desert. All<br />

the members of our expedition<br />

gathered at the campsite to have<br />

dinner at about 7pm. On a large<br />

grassy area, hundreds of carpets<br />

and tents were set up in the<br />

Bedouin nomads' style around a<br />

main stage. My companions and<br />

I chose a comfortable place and<br />

started enjoying our Arab-styled<br />

buffet dinner.<br />

There were numerous attractive<br />

activities taking place during<br />

the night such as belly dancing,<br />

henna drawing, sand slides,<br />

and camel riding. But the most<br />

interesting experience were<br />

savoring fried dates from a<br />

copper basket and chit chatting<br />

with friends with shisha. In late<br />

night, the sky was adorned with<br />

thousands of stars while the sand<br />

dunes sparkled showing their<br />

shapes as beautiful silk lines<br />

in the deep blue night. Before<br />

we left the desert, all the lights<br />

in the campsite were turned<br />

off as the organizers wanted<br />

us to "get away" from modern<br />

devices to immerse fully in the<br />

desert's ambiance for 5 minutes.<br />

Hundreds of people lied on sand,<br />

relaxing and watching the sky<br />

while taking in the cool air of the<br />

desert by night.<br />

Dubai Mall which is located on the<br />

foot of Burj Khalifa - the world's<br />

tallest tower and the heart of the<br />

Dubai's high streets- is the busiest<br />

mall that everyone should mistake<br />

note of. At the height of 828m, the<br />

a large square with an artificial lake<br />

where water music performances<br />

take place every 30 minutes.<br />

Every night, the area is filled with<br />

visitors partaking in shopping<br />

activities, enjoying water music and<br />

watching light performances in Burj<br />

offering the most beautiful views is<br />

Serafina at Souk Al Bahar*. Here,<br />

you can enjoy a delicious dinner<br />

while watching water music and<br />

admire the sparkling Burj Khalifa.<br />

early while the world outside is so<br />

attractive!<br />

(*) Souk Al Bahar is a commercial<br />

complex of hotels and restaurants<br />

decorated in an ancient style.<br />

Lifestyle:<br />

ñ As an open Muslim<br />

country, Dubai is<br />

a perfect blend of<br />

Western and Asian<br />

characteristics. Its<br />

attraction comes from<br />

the traditional culture<br />

and modernity as well<br />

as the multi-ethnic<br />

population. Laborers<br />

are mainly immigrants<br />

from countries all<br />

around the world.<br />

Safety:<br />

ñ Dubai is known<br />

as a safe city. No<br />

thought one should<br />

always practice good<br />

common sense and<br />

respect local laws and<br />

customs.<br />

damper on the visit.<br />

Outfits:<br />

ñ Bring athin scarf,<br />

jacket, hat, sunglasses,<br />

sunscreen, and<br />

skin moisturizer to<br />

protect from the sun.<br />

It's best to prepare<br />

conservative clothing<br />

on such a visit. While<br />

modern, Dubai is still<br />

a city in the UAE.<br />

More conservative<br />

KOMOREBI<br />

PAPER, SUNLIGHT & THE STORY OF PLANTS<br />

"Komorebi" in Japanese has a meaning of tranquility - "pure sun rays<br />

creeping through the foilage." Komorebi was also my feeling when I first<br />

saw Washi paper under the sunlight.<br />

By: Phan Cac Truc Photos: Cac Truc, Sato & other photographers<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

The history of paper<br />

in the East dates<br />

back China in<br />

the first century,<br />

and then to Japan<br />

around the 7 th<br />

century (specifically in 610, during<br />

the Asuka Dynasty). Since 800<br />

(during the Nara period), Japan<br />

became incomparably proficient<br />

in papermaking techniques. And<br />

so, Japan entered the industrial<br />

age. Advanced machinery from the<br />

west gradually replaced traditional<br />

production techniques, including<br />

those of handmade Washi paper<br />

and so, in turn, Washi production<br />

households drops from more than<br />

100,000 in 1800 to just over 400 in<br />

1983.<br />

I visited the Washi workshop of Sato,<br />

one of the young artists who had<br />

graduated from the University of<br />

Tokyo, decided to return to Seiyo to<br />

preserve the art of making traditional<br />

Washi paper. Sato, with great care<br />

for accuracy and something in a<br />

way akin to reverence, told us the<br />

story of the giant Washi paper<br />

slabs hung everywhere. Creating<br />

thin, tough and sustainable Washi<br />

requires skills, time, and extremely<br />

low temperatures. The conversation<br />

with Sato reminded me of a saying<br />

by the Japanese writer Haruki<br />

Murakami in the novel Blind Willow,<br />

Sleeping Woman "Your work should<br />

be an act of love, not a marriage of<br />

convenience."<br />

If you want to learn of the Washi<br />

papermaking process, it's ideal<br />

to visit workshops in the winter,<br />

particularly from December to March<br />

as the high temperatures of the<br />

summer can affect the plants' natural<br />

adhesiveness. Creating Washi needs<br />

much effort like making Sake, and<br />

requires a lot of water. Likewise, as<br />

with sake, the purer the water when<br />

making Washi, the higher the paper's<br />

quality. If cloudy water is used, the<br />

color of the paper will unavoidably<br />

change over time. Therefore, most<br />

Washi workshops are located in areas<br />

that are far from the contamination<br />

of urban centers, and instead located<br />

near natural water sources in<br />

mountainous regions.<br />

In the first stage of making Washi,<br />

Suketa (a mold formed by a finely<br />

meshed net) is embedded in a<br />

solution of water, bast fibers, and<br />

nori (a natural solidifier). The mold<br />

is embedded in the solution, taken<br />

up, spreading the solution around<br />

the mold; then repeated continuously<br />

so that the paper fibers intertwine<br />

tightly, building a thin layer on the<br />

surface of the mold. After Washi<br />

paper is formed, it is then removed<br />

from the mold, dried, pressed and<br />

dried once more. Sometimes people<br />

add hemp, banana silk, horsehair,<br />

silver leaf, or gold leaf to create<br />

different types of Washi.<br />

Being made of braided plant fibers<br />

instead of pulp like Western paper,<br />

Washi's longevity can be up to a<br />

thousand years. In days long since<br />

passed, Washi was even used to sew,<br />

to make armor, and as a material in<br />

creating the famous ornate garb of<br />

Japan and the kimono. Nihonga, an<br />

ancient form of painting from Japan,<br />

is traditionally done on Washi paper,<br />

with artifacts existing today that date<br />

back more than 1000 years, and yet<br />

they still remain their original light<br />

yellow color without being stained<br />

by the passage of time. Washi is<br />

also used in Origami art, paper<br />

dolls, carving, and embossing art. If<br />

one happens to know much about<br />

western paintings, and in particular<br />

the works of Rembrandt, they might<br />

notice that Washi appears in the<br />

Dutch master's works during the<br />

time 1647 -1665 as well.<br />

There are many kinds of Washi<br />

paper, but most of them are made<br />

from materials from the peel of<br />

one of Japan's three plants:Kozo,<br />

Mitsumata or Gampi. The paper<br />

http://issuu.com/Travellive<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

made of<br />

Gampi is the<br />

most expensive<br />

kind of Washi<br />

owing to its<br />

naturally<br />

delicate<br />

and sheen<br />

appearance.<br />

In the past,<br />

it was used only by the clergy and<br />

nobility. Washi made of Mitsumata<br />

is relatively soft and supple, so<br />

it also symbolizes femininity,<br />

whereas Kozo is symbolic for the<br />

protector because of its thickness<br />

and sturdiness. In addition, the<br />

paper made of Mitsumata and<br />

Kozo can be used to alter the color<br />

of illumination provided by a light<br />

source to its translucent fibers. This<br />

is a unique characteristic of the<br />

paper in the East.<br />

Being made of braided<br />

plant fibers instead of<br />

pulp like Western paper,<br />

Washi's longevity can be<br />

up to a thousand years.<br />

Nihonga, an ancient<br />

form of painting from<br />

Japan, is traditionally<br />

done on Washi paper,<br />

with artifacts existing<br />

today that date back<br />

more than 1000 years,<br />

and yet they still remain<br />

their original light<br />

yellow color without<br />

being stained by the<br />

passage of time.<br />

Nowadays, Japanese still use Washi<br />

paper for shoji sliding door frames,<br />

but not only as a way to connect with<br />

nature, but also simply due to the<br />

papers strength and sustainability.<br />

Young artists like Sato also apply<br />

new techniques to make Washi<br />

paper become unique interior<br />

designe materials, with a variety of<br />

patterns and eye-catching designs.<br />

Having experienced its ups and<br />

downs throughout history, Washi<br />

paper remains a painstaking crafted<br />

piece of Japanese culture whose<br />

artists bless with the most choice of<br />

vegetation, water and surroundings.<br />

Washi paper, therefore, has become<br />

an indispensable part of Japan's<br />

long-established culture and<br />

tradition as well as iconic image well<br />

recognized by international visitors<br />

which states, perhaps more clearly<br />

than anything else: "welcome to<br />

Japan."<br />

If you have ever traveled to any Indian tourist destination and wanted to escape the<br />

crowds to enjoy your stay, Kanyakumari would be the best choice ever.<br />

Located in the southern state of<br />

India - Tamil Nadu, Kanyakumari,<br />

what used to be called Cape<br />

Comorin during the British period,<br />

is well known as the end of Indian<br />

main land. With three sides facing<br />

the ocean, this is an ideal place for<br />

contemplating sunrise and sunset.<br />

Until now, I still can clearly see<br />

each detail of that small and<br />

peaceful fishing town. Unlike the<br />

other tourism destinations in India<br />

that I have been, this place brings<br />

the true essence of what as Indian<br />

town is all about.<br />

It took us 9 hours by train to<br />

reach Thiruvananthapuram,<br />

the capital of Kerala, before we<br />

headed to Kanyakumari by an<br />

additional 3 hour bus ride. If you<br />

have ever traveled to any Indian<br />

tourist destination and wanted to<br />

escape the crowds to enjoy your<br />

stay, Kanyakumari would be the<br />

best choice ever. The bus took us<br />

through green villages along the<br />

road to the southernmost tip of<br />

India's mainland. I felt as if I was<br />

walking back to rural villages in<br />

Vietnam. That was amazing!<br />

The fishing village of<br />

Goddess Kanya Kumari<br />

Every place in India relates to<br />

a myth, and Kanyakumari is<br />

no exception. Kanya Kumari<br />

is actually the name of the<br />

Goddess Devi Kanya Kumari who<br />

is considered to be a sister of<br />

Krishna. Women pray to Goddess<br />

Devi Kanya Kumari for marriage.<br />

The goddess is believed to be the<br />

one who removes the rigidity of<br />

our mind and it is for this reason<br />

why the village is a notable site of<br />

pilgrim in India.<br />

We took a walk to the beach<br />

in the sunny afternoon. When<br />

we arrived, we found that the<br />

pilgrimage site was not so<br />

crowded which meant it was<br />

perfect day for wandering and<br />

enjoying the sound of the sea.<br />

Every step along the coast freed<br />

our minds from the noisy life back<br />

in the city from where we came.<br />

We could only feel and smell all<br />

the flavors of sand and sea. We<br />

could hear only the voice of the<br />

sea and the whisper of the wind<br />

in our ears as if we were walking<br />

in the mythological story of the<br />

town's origin, the feeling of an<br />

ancient time, of legend, and of<br />

the myth came to alive around us.<br />

We were surrounded by all the<br />

amazing things from the past and<br />

at the same time the calmness of<br />

the present.<br />

We took some time to discover<br />

the further reaches of the town,<br />

and found a small fish market<br />

and the harbor it serviced. The<br />

fishing town is really small, but<br />

colorful and lively. Everything was<br />

really simple. The intertwining of<br />

simple life and the charming view<br />

of the coast gave this town its own<br />

unique characteristic.<br />

Taking an early morning walk<br />

in this town is the surest way<br />

you return to the purest beauty<br />

of nature and life. The fish<br />

market opens quite early at the<br />

beginning of the day and it's truly<br />

the lifeblood of the fishing town.<br />

Boats of fish come back from the<br />

sea, and villagers sell their fish<br />

right on the sea side.<br />

Before leaving India after two years of living there, my best friend and<br />

Idecided to go for our last trip in the ancient country. So, why not a venture<br />

to the furthest flung corner of this nation?<br />

The intertwining of simple life and the charming view of the<br />

coast gave this town its own unique characteristic.<br />

In the charm of<br />

sunset and sunrise<br />

As the southernmost point of peninsular India<br />

and the meeting point of three oceans-the Bay<br />

of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian<br />

Ocean, Kanyakumari offers you unforgettable<br />

moments watching both a sunrise and a sunset.<br />

When we were heading to the triangle sea,<br />

the wind blew us back slightly while the first<br />

sunshine of the day started to warm our faces.<br />

The sea surface was sparkling, lively and vivid<br />

with the reflected rays of the sun. Everything<br />

was so fresh. In that moment I realized that<br />

it really is possible to witness such a holistic<br />

peace in our complicated world.<br />

The sunshine breaks the wind to brighten the<br />

entire coastal town and the colorful fishing<br />

village comes to alive. The sound of waves and<br />

the quiet noises from the fish market, mixed<br />

with some distant sounds of pilgrims praying<br />

in the temple nearby make this little town a<br />

magic place for anyone who wants to escape the<br />

noise of everyday life, to find some moments<br />

for themselves to enjoy, to refresh their mind,<br />

and to be ready to return to the busy life in<br />

which they are living.<br />

My first companion to Dalat is Sylvie, one of my French friends. After about<br />

10 minutes after our arrival at Lien Khuong Airport in Dalat, she uttered "I<br />

feel like we are traveling on the Southwestern roads of France!"<br />

©Alpha_7D<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

During our weekend holiday in the poetic city, she<br />

repeated that claims many times. We compared<br />

different places in this city with something familiar<br />

in France. We thought of France when strolling down<br />

under the pine foliage, crossing by the palaces which<br />

used to be the favorite getaway places of colonial<br />

officials, or catching sight of flowers that seem to be<br />

blossom in only temperate climates.<br />

Surprisingly, the first place we stayed at in Dalat was<br />

one of the French villas built in the 1920s. Nestled in<br />

pine-covered hills, Dalat Cadasa resort is a cluster of 12<br />

villas which were abandoned a long time ago. The villas<br />

then were restored and ungraded by a teacher from Ho<br />

Chi Minh City.<br />

The entire resort is like an architectural museum of<br />

French villas, each of them features the distinct beauty<br />

of different regions such as Bretagne, Savoie, Provence,<br />

Pays-Basque, and more. The charm of them also comes<br />

from the little things, such as a fireplace in the heart<br />

of the house, a tea corner with books near the large<br />

window, and a garden of vivid flowers.<br />

©Osalam<br />

It’s no exaggeration to consider Dalat an intercultural<br />

architectural museum where traditional Vietnamese<br />

materials such as bamboo and wood meet their<br />

Western "friends" - bricks, glass, and cement.<br />

©Vinh TNg<br />

The most beautiful of flowers, from roses, mimosas,<br />

and immortal flowers, to hydrangeas, camellias,<br />

daffodils, and tulips gather at the villa's garden. Lapis<br />

- my favorite fragile flowers can be seen at any time in<br />

every corner of Dalat: in the garden, on the church's<br />

yard, on the balcony of romantic cafes, or along the<br />

pathway in the city.<br />

Sylvie visited Dalat as she promised with her friend<br />

whose father was born in Dalat and studied at Lycäe<br />

Yersin which is now the Pedagogical College of Da<br />

Lat. Lycäe Yersin is one of the World's 1000 authentic<br />

constructions built in the 20 th century, according to the<br />

International Architecture Union.<br />

When contemplating the chain of classrooms built<br />

in an arc, shining a rich red color in the sun with the<br />

imposing bell tower stretching toward the sky, we<br />

thought of Toulouse which is known as "the pink city"<br />

with every work built with red bricks. This type of<br />

bricks is also used to build the college as well as Notre<br />

Dame Cathedral in Saigon.<br />

When I went toward the opposite chain of classrooms,<br />

my heart beat faster as I saw blue windows like the<br />

ones that open to invite Mediterranean breezes in<br />

southern France on sunny days.<br />

100<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

Indeed, only one kind of window<br />

could make the heart of Francelover<br />

like me reminisce upon<br />

memories in "the Hexagon".<br />

Dalat in general, and the college<br />

in particular, still retain its beauty<br />

years later, as if it's waiting for an<br />

old friend, to come back.<br />

Designed in 1927 by the architect<br />

Moncet, the college used to be<br />

the school of numerous French<br />

students and wealthy Vietnamese.<br />

After being named as Petit Lycäe<br />

de Dalat, and then Grand Lycäe<br />

de Dalat, it took the name of<br />

Lycäe Yersin in 1932 in memory<br />

of Doctor Alexandre Yersin who<br />

discovered Langbian Plateau in the<br />

June of 124 years ago.<br />

Dr. Yersin himself counldn't have<br />

guessed how his discovery of the<br />

plateau would turn the page on<br />

the history of the land and its<br />

inhabitants.<br />

Resting 1,500m above sea level,<br />

Dalat, which is now a honeymoon<br />

paradise for newlyweds, used to<br />

be where French settled during<br />

World War II, when the war<br />

prevented them from returning to<br />

their country. French people built<br />

numerous buildings with Western<br />

influences in Dalat as the gifts for<br />

their fellows who lived far from<br />

their hometowns.<br />

Like cities in the West, Dalat has a<br />

cathedral in a Roman style with a<br />

cross-shaped foundation. Standing<br />

on the cathedral's 14m high bell<br />

tower, you will have a chance to<br />

take in the beauty of the whole city.<br />

The chicken on the bell tower's top<br />

is associated with the story of St.<br />

Peter in the Gospel, reminding us<br />

of the repentance and awakening.<br />

For this reason, the cathedral is<br />

known as The Chicken Cathedral.<br />

It’s no exaggeration to consider<br />

Dalat an intercultural architectural<br />

museum where traditional<br />

Vietnamese materials such as<br />

bamboo and wood meet their<br />

Western "friends" - bricks, glass,<br />

and cement. Domaine Cathedral<br />

is a typical example of this<br />

blend. Experts supposed that the<br />

cathedral's roof is steeper than<br />

others, representing the style of the<br />

Rong (communal house) of ethnic<br />

groups. The charm of Dalat is due<br />

to the blend of the two cultures,<br />

in each daily story, on the range<br />

of trees, and every corner we had<br />

meet, the intercultural mixings<br />

were evident and abundant.<br />

If I am asked what moment in<br />

Dalat I miss the most, it must<br />

be the time when I savored wine<br />

with my friend at the glass shelter<br />

in Cadasa garden. Dalat wine<br />

somehow leads me to imagine<br />

about cheerful glasses of wine<br />

enjoyed by a family 100 years ago at<br />

the same place as we were.<br />

Do you remember the movie Blue is the Warmest color - the<br />

Palme d'Or winner at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival? In the film<br />

full of emotional sky blue scenes are the warm colorS of<br />

the young main character's dreams. It is the blue sky of our<br />

youthful years. And if you are seeking blue dreams reminiscent<br />

of such purity, then Tarko Gorge is for you.<br />

SCATTERS ITS BLUE<br />

ON ROCKS<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 105

ay attention and<br />

you will soon<br />

realize that the<br />

Taiwanese are<br />

very proud of<br />

their nature.<br />

The word "scenic" repeatedly<br />

appears on MRT maps and tourist<br />

maps, showing the places where<br />

visitors can admire the beautiful<br />

landscapes. Your "scenic" journey<br />

through Taiwan, as many locals<br />

claim, would never complete<br />

without visiting Taroko Gorge.<br />

We caught the early train to<br />

Hualien to start the journey to<br />

explore Taroko Gorge National<br />

Park, which is considered the<br />

most splendid area in Taiwan with<br />

emerald waterfalls, bushy valleys,<br />

and huge marble mountains.<br />

Taroko, which means "wonderful<br />

and gorgeous" in the local<br />

language, is so stunning that<br />

anyone would be impressed. In<br />

addition to an array of attractive<br />

spots including the Eternal Spring<br />

temple, Swallow cave, and the<br />

Tunnel of Nine Turns, Taroko<br />

Gorge is home to the highest<br />

mountains in Taiwan, some even<br />

reaching the height of 3,700 meters<br />

above sea level.<br />

Seen from far away, Taroko Gorge<br />

National Park is as fancifully<br />

beauty as an ink and wash painting,<br />

spanning a total area of more than<br />

120,000ha. Taroko is heaven for<br />

the venturesome and nature-loving<br />

travelers as there are endless<br />

exceptional trekking and hiking<br />

paths and trails. If your time<br />

doesn't allow you to follow the long<br />

trails, then Swallow Grotto Trail,<br />

Baiyang Trail, Shakadang Trail, or<br />

Zhuiiu Old Trail are more suitable<br />

for a stay of 1 to 2 days.<br />

The 1,400 meter Swallow Grotto<br />

Trail is the easiest one and the<br />

favorite of many visitors while<br />

Baiyang Trail requires more<br />

patience given its length of 2,200<br />

meters. Baiyang Trail, built by the<br />

Taiwan Power company to capture<br />

hydroelectric energy in the 1970s,<br />

leads you through 7 tunnels.<br />

Remember to bring a raincoat with<br />

you as the tunnels are covered with<br />

water curtains, something which<br />

feels right out of a movie.<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

Itinerary:<br />

It is a strange feeling when you<br />

contemplate the sky spreading its<br />

pure blue on the cliff.<br />

Shakadang Trail which is 4.4 km long and Zhuiiu Old<br />

Trail with a length of 10.3 km takes you more time, yet<br />

offers you brand new experiences. The most impressive<br />

thing is stepping on the 500-meter Zhuiliu Cliff Bridge<br />

which crosses the Liwu River. No matter what trail you<br />

choose, you will a have chance to admire one of Taiwan's<br />

most unique wonders - Cingshuei Cliff. The majestic<br />

21 km long marble cliff was formed more than 200<br />

million year ago by the sediment on the ocean floor.<br />

How amazing it is to walk on the bridge, contemplating<br />

the soaring cliff while listening to the sound of the river<br />

running through marble stones.<br />

Apart from the meandering path on the mountainside<br />

with a panoramic view of surrounding natural scenery,<br />

Taroko is attractive for its numerous native animal<br />

species such as black bears, Formosan rock monkeys,<br />

wildcats, and more. On the days between spring and<br />

summer, you can see flocks of canaries flying everywhere.<br />

Turning back to Hualien center, you can enjoy Hualien<br />

foods at the night market or continue the Taroko Gorge<br />

journey by visiting TienXiang - a small village in the<br />

national park. With only a post office, a police station, a<br />

7/11 grocery, and some resorts, Tienxiang is as tranquil<br />

as staying among forests and mountains, a certainly<br />

pleasant experience.<br />

It is a strange feeling when you contemplate the sky<br />

spreading its pure blue on the cliff, along odd ridges to<br />

the peaceful blue Liwu River. March is the time for a<br />

marvelous journey into the wilds of nature.<br />

ñ You can travel from Taipei to<br />

Hualien by train in 2 hours and 20<br />

minutes. You should book tickets<br />

(about 440NTD/ticket/turn) on the<br />

official website of Railway Taiwan<br />

at least one week in advance as the<br />

tickets are easily sold out, especially<br />

on weekends and public holidays.<br />

You can choose a train that travels<br />

on the mountain line or the coastal<br />

line.<br />

ñ If you are in Taiwan, you can make<br />

your payment at a rail station or<br />

7-11. In the event that you couldn't<br />

book the ticket, you can travel by<br />

bus and train (4 - 5 hours) from<br />

Taipei to Luodong (bus) and<br />

Luodong - Hualien.<br />

Rental motorbike:<br />

ñ Most rental motorbike suppliers<br />

only accept Taiwanese driving<br />

license. You should come to<br />

Hualien Station where international<br />

driving licenses are accepted by<br />

numerous suppliers including Mei<br />

Further information:<br />

Gui Zu Che Hang. Rental cost: 700<br />

- 1000NTD/day. If you don't have an<br />

international driving license, you can<br />

hire an electronic motorbike (under<br />

50cc) at a lower price. It is not<br />

convenient to travel by shuttle bus in<br />

Takoro, so bicycle and motorbike are<br />

great choices.<br />

Sightseeing:<br />

ñ Taroko Gorge National Park is<br />

open for visitors without entrance<br />

fee, please contact the Tourist<br />

Information Centre for further<br />

information. You must have<br />

permission to enter the wild area.<br />

Note:<br />

If you want to stay overnight in<br />

Taroko Gorge, then choose a hotel<br />

such as Silk Place Toroko (luxury) or<br />

a home-stay with locals in the area<br />

between TianXiang and Swallow<br />

Grotto. TienXiang Catholic Church,<br />

TienXiang Christian Churc and<br />

TienXiang Youth Activity Center<br />

offer reasonable prices.<br />

is an Italian<br />

reportage and travel<br />

photographer, mainly<br />

focused on people and<br />

daily life. The whole<br />

reportage about the<br />

last indigenous people<br />

in Argentina was<br />

exhibited several times<br />

in Spain and Italy,<br />

also for the Consulate<br />

of Argentina. He<br />

visited Vietnam for<br />

the first time 5 years<br />

ago, falling in love<br />

with it. From then<br />

on, he organizes<br />

photographic tours and<br />

workshop in Vietnam<br />

every year. His new<br />

and current project is<br />

a photographic book<br />

about daily life in<br />

culture<br />

Situated just on the<br />

Pilcomayo river bank,<br />

which divides Argentina<br />

from Paraguay, Mision<br />

la Paz is probably the<br />

most distant and least<br />

accessible group in all<br />

of Argentina. However,<br />

I have had a chance<br />

to meet them and<br />

learn more about the<br />

community that hasn't<br />

been affected by global<br />

civilization.<br />

When someone talks<br />

about Argentina, they<br />

might think of amazing<br />

expansive landscapes<br />

and natural beauties,<br />

the "gauchos" culture,<br />

and the strange mixture<br />

of occidental and Latin<br />

characteristics. Nobody<br />

would think of indigenous<br />

people, their communities<br />

or their ancient habits.<br />

They are still pure ethic<br />

groups in all likelyhood<br />

because they are the only<br />

ones who have been able<br />

to resist colonization. This<br />

is potentially because they<br />

are protected by the region<br />

where they live."<br />

The last aborigines<br />

In Argentina, there are very few<br />

communities of pure native aborigines<br />

still in existence, and unfortunately<br />

they are disappearing very quickly,<br />

and their lifestyles, their traditions<br />

and their languages are destined to<br />

disappear with them.<br />

The last aborigines still live in a few<br />

areas, primarily situated in the extreme<br />

north of Argentina (in the provinces<br />

of Salta and Jujuy), in the province of<br />

Mendoza, and in the Patagonia area<br />

(in the province of Chubut).<br />

The North is also home to ethnicities<br />

of the Wichi, Toba, Chorote, Chulupi,<br />

Guarani, Tapiete, and Chane. In<br />

the province of Mendoza there are<br />

the Huarpes, and in Patagonia the<br />

Mapuches.<br />

Salta and Jujuy provinces are the<br />

most indigenous-friendly areas of<br />

all Argentina, with a lot of mestizos<br />

minority people from the Andes.<br />

Only the province of Salta can<br />

approximately 350 communities and<br />

9 main ethnic groups be found. But<br />

there are still very few communities<br />

made of "pure" native ethnic group,<br />

communities who kept so far<br />

their ancient traditions. The pure<br />

aboriginal community of Mision La<br />

Paz is one such place, and also just<br />

happens to be one of the biggest and<br />

most remote ones.<br />

Days seem shorter with<br />

Mision La Paz<br />

Here the ethnic groups of Chorote,<br />

Wichi e Chulupi live together in<br />

harmony. They are still pure ethic<br />

groups in all likelyhood because they<br />

are the only ones who have been<br />

able to resist colonization. This is<br />

potentially because they are protected<br />

by the region where they like. Mision<br />

La Paz is considered one of the hottest,<br />

most inhospitable and arid place in all<br />

of South America, with a temperatures<br />

constantly around 55 o C, with an<br />

insidious and impalpable powder that<br />

blocks the view of all the conquerors.<br />

he search for sustenance plays<br />

an increasingly vital role in the<br />

daily lives of this community,<br />

and the presence of the river is<br />

vital for their survival. The men<br />

of the community of Mision<br />

La Paz, defying piranhas,<br />

crocodiles and poisonous fish,<br />

immerse themselves with their fishing nets into the<br />

dangerous waters of the Pilcomayo river in search of<br />

food for their families. The children are never victims<br />

of these animals, because the noise they make while<br />

playing keeps away the wild animals.<br />

When the water level is low, the best conditions for<br />

fishing, the natives organize a fishing group to increase<br />

the size of the aquatic harvest they might reap from<br />

the river. These good conditions are increasingly rare,<br />

because of the new violent rains caused as a result of<br />

global warming.<br />

In the days of abundant fishing, the large amounts of<br />

fish are distributed to all the families in the community.<br />

The fish are considered sacred, but the better and<br />

bigger ones are sold or bartered, in the small food store<br />

that belongs to the few mestizos here for other products<br />

such as flour and sugar.<br />

While men go fishing in the river, women go to<br />

Paraguay just by crossing the bridge (or the river if<br />

the water level is low), looking for fruit and wood<br />

for cooking. They are originally nomads and huntergatherers,<br />

and they keep this same way of life despite<br />

the fact that they are no longer nomadic (they live<br />

stable in the same place for many years). This lifestyle<br />

gradually leads to a depleting of the surrounding area.<br />

So the women have to go farther and farther each time,<br />

everyday, to collect the same amount of food.<br />

They risk total disappearance, and in a<br />

few years there will be only communities<br />

of mestizo Creoles left. They will lose<br />

their purity, their ethnicity, and their<br />

culture along with languages, way of<br />

life, and traditions.<br />

Very few people grow fruit and vegetables, and hunting<br />

has been almost completely abandoned. The days when<br />

they do not find anything to eat such as fish or fruit<br />

(which are growing to be more often), they make and<br />

eat a kind of bread made with just flour and water, and<br />

then cooked in the ash of the fire. This is their cheapest<br />

way to feed themselves.

Lately, the rains come more and more<br />

violently because of the deepening effects of<br />

climatic change, and unregulated fishing with<br />

huge illegal nets in the northern part of the<br />

river in Bolivia, is destroying the ecosystem.<br />

What's more is the contamination of the<br />

subsoil and the river (due to the arsenic that<br />

the big mines of Potosi pour into the river)<br />

which causes the downstream movement of<br />

piranhas in search of food, thus the amount<br />

of fish is diminishing and, consequently, the<br />

fishing is even more inconstant.<br />

All this is a threat for the minority people who<br />

are compelled to leave their communities and<br />

move to the cities to escape such difficulties.<br />

They risk total disappearance, and in a few<br />

years there will be only communities of<br />

mestizo Creoles left. They will lose their<br />

purity, their ethnicity, and their culture along<br />

with languages, way of life, and traditions.<br />

Their lives are changing gradually. Every day,<br />

the school in the community makes food<br />

for all the children so as to encourage them<br />

to not miss lessons, and so that they can<br />

have a good supply of daily nutrition. An old<br />

Further<br />

information:<br />

ITINerary:<br />

ñ There are several<br />

airlines from the USA,<br />

Europe and Australasia<br />

to Ezeiza International<br />

Airport of Buenos<br />

Aires city, the gateway<br />

of Argentina. All the<br />

domestic flights depart<br />

from Aeroparque<br />

Airport, which is 2 hours<br />

by bus (less by taxi)<br />

from the international<br />

airport. To the north of<br />

Argentina, you can fly<br />

directly to Salta or Jujuy.<br />

There are also several<br />

long-distance buses.<br />

Activities:<br />

ñ Visit the charming city<br />

of Salta;<br />

ñ Visit the old city of<br />

Cachi and the "Los<br />

Cardones National<br />

Park";<br />

ñ Visit Humahuaca<br />

city and its Andean<br />

atmosphere, the<br />

"Quebrada de<br />

Humahuaca" and the<br />

"Valles Calchaquies";<br />

SOUvenirs:<br />

ñ Clothes made of<br />

precious and warm lama<br />

and alpaca wool<br />

CUISINe:<br />

ñ Meat is the king of<br />

Argentine cooking. You<br />

can find veal, lamb,<br />

goat, and, in the north,<br />

also lama meat. The<br />

barbecued meat "asado"<br />

is the most famous dish.<br />

The "empanada" pie<br />

can be filled with meat,<br />

cheese or vegetables,<br />

as is then cooked in an<br />

oven or fried.<br />

ñ Savor the alfajores,<br />

a special sweet bisquit<br />

filled with dulce de leche<br />

cream;<br />

ñ Try the famous Mate<br />

tea, drunk with a special<br />

drinking straw named<br />

Bombilla from a special<br />

cup made of wood or<br />

pumpkin;<br />

DRINKS:<br />

ñ The famous Malbec<br />

and Syrah red wine<br />

(from Mendoza<br />

province), Fernet with<br />

Cola (the Argentine<br />

version of Cuba Libre).<br />

Anglican church is the only testament<br />

of any attempt to colonize the area by<br />

Europeans. It was built by the English<br />

who came to this area to grow cotton.<br />

There are religious functions every<br />

evening, with celebrations characterized<br />

by music, dancing and singing. A small<br />

group of aboriginals routinely take part,<br />

more as entertainment than as a sign<br />

of faith.<br />

Previously forgotten by institutions for<br />

many years, the Government of the<br />

province recently started to work for the<br />

rights of these communities, protecting<br />

and respecting them, along with creating<br />

better living conditions for them such<br />

as building concrete houses, waterworks<br />

electrical systems, or helping the larger<br />

families economically.<br />

Though, of course, this will inevitably lead<br />

to a rapid loss of ancestral and traditional<br />

characteristics, such as the typical houses<br />

made of straw and grass, or the dried<br />

mud houses, adopted when the natives<br />

stopped being nomads and settled.<br />

Lively festivals,<br />

beautiful<br />

beaches, and<br />

a history rich<br />

in works of<br />

science and art.<br />

DESPITE BEING AFFECTED BY TOURISM, VALENCIA STILL OWNS AN<br />

UNPARALLELED BEAUTY AND ATMOSPHERE THAT VISITORS CAN ONLY TAKE<br />

IN BY WALKING ALONE IN THE OLD QUARTERS.<br />

As planned, my friends and I<br />

arrived in Valencia to explore the<br />

city's rich Mediterranean culture<br />

with lively festivals, beautiful<br />

beaches, and a history rich in works<br />

of science and art.<br />

Strolling in the old<br />

quarter.<br />

Established 800 years ago, Valencia's<br />

streets have been perfectly preserved.<br />

Nowadays, despite being affected<br />

by tourism, Valencia is still home<br />

to unparalleled beauty and a unique<br />

atmosphere that visitors can only<br />

take in by walking alone in the old<br />

quarters, especially in late morning.<br />

As the sun creeps higher in the sky,<br />

the peaceful hour allows you to stroll<br />

down streets, passing garish toy<br />

stores, butchers with aromatic ham,<br />

and boutiques decorated in a blend<br />

of modern and antique styles.<br />

The most iconic ancient construction<br />

in Valencia is the Llotja silk market,<br />

which is Valencia's famous silk<br />

trading center and was recognized<br />

by UNESCO as a cultural heritage<br />

in 1996. Spanning a rectangular<br />

plot of land, the market was built<br />

in the 15 th century during the<br />

golden time of Valencia. The whole<br />

construction was made in the image<br />

of as a medieval castle with stone<br />

walls representing the power and<br />

prosperity of the Mediterranean<br />

city. The ideal start to discover<br />

this antique city is Plaza de la<br />

Reina Square, where you should<br />

visit Valencia Cathedral with an<br />

impressive blend of Baroque,<br />

Gothique, and Roman architectural<br />

styles. The cathedral is home to a<br />

special cup that is believed to be the<br />

Holy Chalice. Climb up staircases to<br />

the cathedral's steeple and you can<br />

take in a great panoramic view of the<br />

windy coastal city.<br />

Architecture enthusiasts<br />

are undoubtedly<br />

keen on visiting the<br />

historic buildings<br />

along Plaza de la<br />

Virgen Square, among<br />

which is Virgen de los<br />

Desamparados church, built back<br />

in the 17 th century. This church<br />

is also one of the first Baroque<br />

architectural masterpieces in<br />

Spain with an eye-catching and<br />

overall impressive blue tile dome.<br />

Beside the church is the back gate<br />

leading to the Valencia cathedral<br />

with a Roman style colonnade and<br />

elaborately carved Gothic entrance.<br />

In the opposite of the square is<br />

Generalidad Palace constructed in<br />

a harmony of Gothic, Renaissance<br />

and Moorish styles.<br />

Wander until you feel hungry,<br />

and then go straight to the Center<br />

market. Here is the place to<br />

purchase all goods like fresh fruit,<br />

vegetable, salted meats and seafood.<br />

I obviously did not pass up the<br />

chance to taste Valencia paella in a<br />

food stall outside the market, as it is<br />

the most famous traditional food of<br />

this city.<br />

Contemplate the splendid<br />

modern beauty<br />

With the idea of turning Valencia<br />

into an artistic and modern city, a<br />

state-of-art entertainment complex<br />

of culture and architecture was built<br />

downstream of Turia River. This<br />

complex is currently considered the<br />

most important tourist attraction in<br />

Valencia. The whole complex was<br />

designed by 2 well-known Spanish<br />

architects- Santiago Calatrava and<br />

Fälix Candela. After 9 years of<br />

constructing, on October 09th,<br />

2015, Valencia finally introduced to<br />

the world one of the greatest works<br />

in Spanish architecture: the City of<br />

Arts and Sciences<br />

The architectural complex pays<br />

tribute to the endless value of<br />

technological sciences and the great<br />

influence of nature, culture and<br />

art. In order to help tourists enjoy<br />

the interaction and, above all, their<br />

own brand new experiences, the<br />

City of Arts and Sciences is the<br />

bridge for current generations to<br />

explore the future through sciences,<br />

civilizations, and a diverse array of<br />

arts and cultures.<br />

If you love walking, you certainly<br />

shouldn't miss a chance to walk<br />

through Jardin del Turia garden<br />

along the Turia river. This garden<br />

is covered with green trees and<br />

regarded as Valencia's lungs. The<br />

large garden is a perfect place for<br />

not only locals but also tourists to<br />

relax and do exercise.<br />

When the sun goes down, Valencia<br />

has yet more ways to entice visitors,<br />

especially as all the lights from<br />

shops, seafood restaurants, and<br />

casinos shimmer glamorously in<br />

the cool of night. Immerse yourself<br />

in the world of leisure. This is a real<br />

Valencia!<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong>

Text and photos: Quyen Gjone destination<br />

Eastern Europe isn't<br />

currently popular with<br />

Vietnamese travellers<br />

despite boasting an<br />

array of attractions<br />

such as the Cesk˝<br />

Krumlov which is 3<br />

hours by bus from<br />

the Czech Republic's<br />

capital Prague.<br />

CESKY<br />

KRUMLOV,<br />

THE MUSE<br />

ON THE<br />

BANKS OF<br />

VLTAVA<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong> 131

132<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

The name Cesk˝<br />

Krumlov comes<br />

from the natural<br />

topography of the<br />

city, in particular the<br />

crooked meanderings<br />

of the Vltava River. The original<br />

name was Chrumbenowe which<br />

means "crooked meadow". From<br />

the 13 th to 18 th centuries, the city<br />

was owned by powerful Eastern<br />

European families.<br />

Along with Prague, this small city<br />

with around 14,000 citizens is<br />

one of the most famous tourist<br />

attractions in the Czech Republic.<br />

However, the comparatively small<br />

city surpassed Prague, Cesk˝<br />

Krumlov was the first city in this<br />

Eastern European country to<br />

be recognized by UNESCO as a<br />

world heritage site in 1992. The<br />

Cesk˝ Krumlov castle complex is<br />

the second largest in the Czech<br />

Republic, just behind the complex<br />

in the capital. It has also been<br />

recognized as a national relic<br />

since 1989.<br />

Inspiring castle of<br />

endless discoveries<br />

I quickly made friends with Jema,<br />

a Spanish girl travelling on the bus<br />

with me. Jema is a great traveller!<br />

She is such an expert traveller, as<br />

evident by her small travel book<br />

which contained a detailed schedule<br />

for her 10 days voyage through<br />

3 Eastern European countries.<br />

Though hardly comparable, Cesk˝<br />

Krumlov is as ancient, tiny and<br />

lovely town similar to Vietnam's<br />

Hoi An. It is a 5 minute walk from<br />

the bus station to the city's square<br />

and an afternoon is enough to<br />

explore the old quarter of Cesk˝.<br />

Nevertheless, what Jeman and I<br />

experienced that afternoon was truly<br />

unforgettable.<br />

The Cesk˝ Krumlov castle without<br />

a doubt should be at the top of<br />

anyone's "to do" list. The ancient<br />

complex is considered the highlight<br />

of this city. Located on a large<br />

rock, the castle's beauty is reflected<br />

in the Vltava river. Through<br />

more than 7 centuries, and with<br />

numerous owners, the castle has<br />

born witness to the city's ups and<br />

downs. The castle was built in<br />

different architectural styles, from<br />

Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque to<br />

Rococo and Classicism. During the<br />

construction, the builders set an<br />

interesting rule: people would never<br />

see the same chimneys in the castle<br />

complex twice!<br />

The castle's walls and other<br />

surrounding houses are adorned<br />

in an intriguing style: sgraffito.

Cesk≥ Krumlov is as pretty as a maiden's<br />

hand, peacefully nestled on the<br />

meandering banks of the river.<br />

Sgraffito is, in some ways, like<br />

today's 3D drawing. The results are<br />

particularly lively images brought to<br />

live through artful use of materials<br />

and colors to create contoured effects.<br />

Originating from Italy in the 15 th<br />

- 16 th century, the art of sgraffito has<br />

been used in different Renaissance<br />

architectural buildings all over Europe.<br />

At a glance, I thought these straight<br />

rows of brick walls were real but it<br />

turned out that they were painted.<br />

We climbed to the castle's watch<br />

tower. With St. Vitus church steeple,<br />

the watch tower of Cesk˝ Krumlov<br />

Castle soars proudly into the blue sky<br />

high above the town. The tower is<br />

54.5m high with 162 stairs, some so<br />

steep I break into a cold sweat in fear.<br />

Inside the tower is a prison with 3.7m<br />

thick walls killing prisoners if not in<br />

body, then in spirit via loneliness and<br />

dark. It sounds scary yet the view from<br />

the tower is stunning and enticing to<br />

even the most timid of visitors.<br />

Cesk˝ Krumlov is as pretty as a<br />

maiden's hand, peacefully nestled on<br />

the meandering banks of the river.<br />

Small houses with orange roofs and<br />

undulating chimneys highlight the<br />

painting of a fairy town. From above,<br />

Cesk˝ Krumlov is so enchanting that I<br />

could not keep my eyes off of it. I kept<br />

contemplating my muse until Jema<br />

nudged and told me "Hey, take some<br />

photos and show them to your family!"<br />

Leaving the tower, we started strolling<br />

http://magzter.com/Travellive<br />

through the castle campus. The whole<br />

Cesk˝ Krumlov castle was separated<br />

into 5 yards with the IV and V yards<br />

connected by Cloak Bridge. These<br />

two yards are situated on the two<br />

different stones with the Cloak Bridge<br />

was set in the gap between them. The<br />

bridge's abutments featured firm dome<br />

structure, increasing the strength<br />

of the bridge. On the bridge were 2<br />

floors of corridor constructed in the<br />

17 th century. These corridors were<br />

designed for royal family to move<br />

so that they would not be seen by<br />

civilians (or enemies). Surrounding<br />

the V yard was a chain of city walls<br />

with a lot of little dome-shaped firing<br />

ports painted white. When I put my<br />

camera in these firing ports, the old<br />

quarter was "framed" like a crystal ball<br />

of some mythical fairy city.<br />

Enjoy the authentic Czech beer<br />

Following the itinerary of Jema's self-made travel book,<br />

before going back to Prague, we went to the Eggenberg<br />

restaurant to enjoy a big lunch. Named for the Eggenberg<br />

family, the former owners of Cesk˝ Krumlov, this restaurant<br />

was once a traditional beer brewery. Some quarters of<br />

the basement are still used for brewing beer under the<br />

restaurant while the upper floors are used for serving the<br />

Czech Republic's specialties. Of course, fresh Czech beer<br />

is the best beverage of choice. Compared to the high prices<br />

in Western and Northern Europe, a lavish lunch at Cesk˝<br />

Krumlov with grilled pork legs, roasted duck thighs with<br />

honey, and 4 beers for 2 people for only 15 Euros was so<br />

impressive!<br />

Saying goodbye to Cesk˝ Krumlov on the last bus of the day<br />

with a stomach full of delicious food, and great beer, both<br />

Jema and I agreed that we would be back. The little city<br />

with colourful houses and windy slopes, as Princess Marie<br />

Therese von Schwarzenberg said, is actually a small land of<br />

magic. The magic makes Cesk˝ Krumlov a charming muse<br />

on the banks of the meandering Vltava which is there also<br />

for the city's peaceful beauty. And it is the magic that make<br />

me hard to say goodbye.<br />

Itinerary:<br />

ñ From HCMC, fly with Vietnam<br />

Airlines to Paris, transit and take the<br />

connecting flight with Czech Airlines to<br />

Prague. From Prague, there are many<br />

buses to Cesk˝ Krumlov. The most<br />

famous buses are from Student Agency<br />

(http://www.studentagency.eu/en/).<br />

The one-way Prague - Cesk˝ Krumlov<br />

ticket costs EUR 7.6. It takes about<br />

3 hours. Tea, coffee, soft drinks, and<br />

newspapers are provided on the bus.<br />

Currency:<br />

134<br />

<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />

ñ Koruna (CZK). Currently, 1 EUR is<br />

equal to roughly CZK 27, 1 USD is<br />

equal to CZK 24. Prices in the Czech<br />

Republic in particular as well as Eastern<br />

Europe in general are not as high as<br />

those in Western and Northern Europe.<br />

A meal with beer in a restaurant is<br />

around CZK 170. A trdelnÌk cake (a<br />

kind of spit-grilled cake) costs about<br />

CZK 50-60.<br />

Transportation:<br />

ñ Public means of transportation are the<br />

best choice to travel in the city. You can<br />

buy retail ticket for CZK32, a one-day<br />

FURTHER INFOMATION<br />

ticket for CZK110, or a 3-day ticket<br />

for CZK310. Tickets are available at<br />

automated machines which only accept<br />

coins. Otherwise, you can buy tickets at<br />

MRT stations' ticket offices.<br />

Sightseeing:<br />

ñ Cesk˝ Krumlov is small, so you can<br />

explore the whole city within 1 day.<br />

However, if you have more time, stay<br />

in the city about 2-3 days to partake in<br />

the tour to learn about traditional beer<br />

in Eggenberg restaurant, spend time<br />

in museums to know more about the<br />

history of the city and the Bohemian<br />

region, and experience other local<br />

activities.<br />

Weather<br />

ñ It is quite cold between February<br />

and March in the Czech Republic.<br />

The temperature is just around 10-15<br />

degrees C. By then the snow has<br />

melted but there is occasionally rain<br />

and the temperature at night can drop<br />

below 5 degrees C. You had better<br />

bring warm outfits with you, thick socks<br />

and gloves, scarves, and thin sweaters<br />

are essential.

LOCAL FOOD<br />

PECENÉ KACHNA - CZECH ROASTED DUCK THIGH<br />

Located among larger<br />

countries like Germany,<br />

Austria, Poland and Hungary,<br />

the Crezh Republic shares a<br />

culinary culture with a lot of<br />

influence from its neighbour<br />

countries. Once entering<br />

a restaurant in the Czech<br />

Republic, you will easily see<br />

Goulash (stewed beef) from<br />

Hungary, grilled sausage<br />

from Germany, Strudel from<br />

Austria, etc. So, what should<br />

you eat when visiting the<br />

Czech Republic? The answer<br />

is undoubtedly roasted duck<br />

thigh with honey and grilled<br />

pork leg (Pecen∏ Kachna).<br />

Roasted duck thigh is best<br />

served with Czech dumpling<br />

and pickled red cabbage and<br />

a little sauce made from<br />

duck fat. Instead of bread or<br />

potato like in other countries,<br />

the Czech prefer to enjoy<br />

it with stewed bread which<br />

is familiar to Vietnamese<br />

dumplings. The rich and<br />

light sweet taste of roasted<br />

duck with honey is perfectly<br />

balanced with the sour taste<br />

and the flavour of carum<br />

in the pickled cabbage. Of<br />

course, the party wouldn't be<br />

complete without cold Pilsner<br />

beer.<br />

GENERAL NEWS<br />

NEPAL<br />

To facilitate communications<br />

for tourists and mountain climbers<br />

as well as support rescue<br />

efforts, Nepal will create free<br />

WiFi zones at the height of<br />

5,360 meters on Mount Everest.<br />

Once successfully installed, this<br />

base camp will be the highest<br />

location on Earth with free WiFi<br />

services. The base camp will<br />

use fibre-optic cables providing<br />

a low price but high-speed<br />

transmission that can resist<br />

the cold and wind. At present,<br />

some hotels and restaurants at<br />

EBC camp offer high-speed wifi<br />

at the rate of 5USD/hour. The<br />

Wifi installation will help tourists<br />

and mountain climbers communicate<br />

through cell phones,<br />

along with send images, videos<br />

and messages faster.<br />

HUE<br />

According to the Hue Monuments<br />

Conservation Centre,<br />
