Dear readers, For adventure explorers, you would not want to miss our special story on the Arctic conquesst by dog sled and the aurora borealis experience – often compared as a virtually magical dance of light. The snowy mountain, ice caves and the whole scenery in Salzkammergut, a region near the Austrian city of Salzburg, will leave you in awe. Or perhaps, you prefer to admire the beauty of late autumn leaves in South Korea under the lens of our photographer Quynh Anh. After receiving positive feedbacks from Travellive readers on the story "60 day trip around Vietnam with my kid" back in June, we decided to invite Oc and her family back to tell us about their latest trip, a 50 day journey around South East Asia. The little girl has now become a ‘seasoned’ traveler after having been to 10 SEA countries. Your trip to Taiwan would be a lot more enjoyable when you try all the food from Taipei, Taichung and Tainan The cold and windy season is finally here, we wish you plenty of new and exciting experiences for your journeys ahead.

Brunei, Philippines vµ Campuchia<br />
SURABAJA “ BRUNEI<br />
“ MANILA<br />
“ SIEM REAP<br />
Our next destination was Brunei, a sparse,<br />
and deserted, yet rich country and one quite<br />
different from other ASEAN countries. Few<br />
people go to Brunei for travel, mostly for work.<br />
When we arrived, the streets were empty and in<br />
most places in the city we saw no one.<br />
Oc getting<br />
new books<br />
in Manila,<br />
Philippines<br />
Oc and her<br />
father out in<br />
Brunei<br />
Oc and her<br />
mother at<br />
Angkok<br />
Temple,<br />
Cambodia<br />
The sight completely contrasted<br />
with Manila, where we arrived<br />
early in the morning. It was not<br />
even 5am, but the streets were<br />
jammed and full of cars. Of<br />
course using English to communicate in this<br />
country was easy given that the Philippines is a<br />
native English speaking country, meaning that<br />
Filipinos are native English speakers. In Manila<br />
police and check sites are everywhere for<br />
security reasons with bags being checked all the<br />
times. You also get checked at every shopping<br />
malls' entrance to preserve safety.<br />
Our flight from Manila to Siem Reap<br />
(Cambodia) arrived late at night. Siem Reap is<br />
a peaceful and friendly city. We really enjoyed<br />
the last four days of our trip to Cambodia.<br />
People were friendly and they knew how to<br />
say hello and thank you in Vietnamese to<br />
guests. The monument complex in Angkor was<br />
magnificent with a myriad of unique structures<br />
so numerous that we could not visit them all<br />
in a few days so what we did was we picked out<br />
the main attractions. On our last day, we packed<br />
all of our luggage on the tuktuk to Angkor Wat<br />
temple and there we said farewell to Cambodia<br />
in the golden-lit afternoon.<br />
We are finally home! When "Noi Bai<br />
International Airport" appeared, we felt so at<br />
peace. I've flown a hundred times but whenever<br />
I see the words Noi Bai Airport nothing feels<br />
more like home. No more "Hello, mingalabar,<br />
sawadee khap, sabaidee, terima kasik or<br />
orkhun". Vietnamese only now!<br />
