Travellive 9 - 2018
Dear valued readers, As once put forward by famous British playwright G. Bernard Shaw, "There is no sincerer love than the love of food". And in a life full of adventurous journeys, the well-known Mark Twain also regrettably wrote a list of more than 60 dishes he missed the chance to enjoy along his trip through Europe and the holy land of Palestine. But perhaps words are not enough to express the human love of food, as well as the meaning of food to human life. For those who return home after long exhausting days, the flavors from a small kitchen warm their hearts. For those who are hungry and inhale the scent of hot dishes, they will have passion. For travelers on the way, every dish is a priceless discovery. For lovers, the presence of food and wine brings two souls closer... And for those who keep eating, tasting, enjoying and constantly searching, creating and cooking is the best way to explore food. In this issue, Travellive invites readers to the world of food; listening to the story of those who have devoted their hearts and souls to food and drink; exploring strange lands through local dishes; looking for opportunities to enjoy the unforgettable experiences of travel bloggers… And after all, do not forget to enjoy life by letting food fill your stomach, heart and soul!

NHÂM NHI CỐC TRÀ TỪ LÁ COCA TRÊN ĐẢO<br />
TAQUILE, PERU<br />
Tôi đi bộ dọc theo chiều dài của hòn đảo Taquile mà<br />
xưa kia là nơi sinh sống của những người Inca sở hữu<br />
nền văn minh lớn của nhân loại. Một không khí thanh<br />
bình giữa bốn bề là mặt hồ Titicaca trong xanh phẳng<br />
lặng.<br />
Với độ cao 3.812 m, Taquile làm tôi choáng váng đầu<br />
óc dù tôi đã rất tự tin với khả năng thích nghi với độ cao<br />
của mình. Ở đây có một loại lá tên là lá coca được người<br />
dân trồng trọt trước nhà hoặc trên các sườn dốc dẫn<br />
xuống mặt hồ. Chúng được thu hoạch và bày bán khắp<br />
nơi quanh vùng hồ Titicaca. Đấy chính là loại lá được<br />
dùng để sản xuất nước giải khát Coca Cola và “choáng”<br />
hơn khi được dùng để chế tác cocain.<br />
Tôi dừng chân tại một quán nước ven đường, nhâm nhi<br />
cốc trà coca thoang thoảng hương, nhân nhẩn khi nhấm<br />
nháp lá coca trong miệng, hít vào lồng ngực không khí<br />
trong lành ở Taquile và dường như phấn chấn hẳn lên.<br />
Quả đúng thế, chính tách trà thoảng mùi hương coca<br />
này đã giúp người dân nơi đây chống chọi với điều kiện<br />
thời tiết khắc nghiệt ở độ cao trên 3.200 m, chỉ từ một<br />
tách trà nóng hổi vào những buổi sớm bình minh.<br />
Địa chỉ<br />
‣ Bạn có thể thưởn thức cốc trà từ lá coca trên đảo<br />
Taquile tại những quán nước ven đường trên hành trình<br />
từ thành phố Puno đến vùng hồ Titicaca.<br />
ENJOY TEA MADE WITH COCA LEAVES ON<br />
TAQUILE ISLAND, PERU<br />
I walked the length of Taquile Island, a place the Inca<br />
people once called home, part of what was once the<br />
largest civilization known to man. An atmosphere<br />
of complete tranquility in the middle of gentle Lake<br />
Titicaca.<br />
At an altitude of 3,812 m, Taquile shocked me even<br />
though I was confident with my ability to adapt to its<br />
height. Here, there is a leaf called coca that people<br />
grow in front of their homes and on the slopes leading<br />
down to the lake. They are harvested and sold around<br />
Lake Titicaca. Coca leaves are used to make the<br />
beverage Coca Cola, and even more shocking, to<br />
make cocaine.<br />
I stopped at a shop by the road, sipped a glass of<br />
coca tea and let its essence wash over my mouth, I<br />
breathed in Taquile’s fresh air and felt myself become<br />
cheerful. Indeed, this cup of fragrant tea has helped<br />
people here deal with the severe weather conditions<br />
at a height of 3,200 m, only by drinking a cup of hot<br />
tea at dawn.<br />
Address<br />
‣ You can enjoy a cup of coca tea on Taquile Island at<br />
the shops on the trip from Puno to Lake Titicaca.<br />
