EXPERIENCE TET IN THE
HEART OF SAIGON'S
CHINATOWN
Like most cities around the
world, Saigon has its own
Chinatown, where generations of
Chinese have lived. From typical
Chinese decorations, to colorful
and eye-catching shops, to
rhythmic music as well as unique
communal activities, Cho Lon is
a must-visit attraction to explore,
especially in the days leading up
to Tet.

Tet is an opportunity for Vietnamese to realize many of their
long lost dreams and spend precious time with their family
after a busy year. It is a time for us all to sit back, drink a cup
of tea, enjoy some candied fruits, and do all the things we do
not normally get to do.
In this Tet 2018 issue, Travellive presents you the most
interesting stories we have for Tet! Travellive also invites you
to meet our most "inspiring faces" of the year. They represent
a generation of young, dynamic, and brave millennials who
dare to think and act, those who are unfraid to step out into
the world to make lasting impacts on our community.
In the celebration of Tet, Travellive takes you on a nostalgic
journey back to the past through a series of stories on Tet
folk painting art, Hang Luoc Market - the oldest Tet market
in Hanoi. At the other end of the country, Tet is a celebration
lled with sunshine and bright colors with the most festive
activities taking place in Saigon's Chinatown - Cho Lon, a
must-visit destination for both locals and foreign visitors this
Tet holiday.
The spring season has nally returned. We here at Travellive
hope this Spring edition will make your Tet a more
meaningful one.
Happy new year!

UNDER THE MELLOW light of spring, the sight of ao dai on the street is charming as
ever, boasting an incomparable sense of elegance and grace.
With a modern twist, the traditional dress is turned into a young and lively style. From
bright yellow to calming blue, the colors feature strong presence of spring, bringing an
eager and joyful vibe in the early days of Tet.
A perfect harmony between the colors and the design. The details, which are mostly bold
Asian motifs representing goodness and happiness in the spring season, are delicately
printed on the dress as a good wish for the new year, highlighting feminine features of
the wearer.
The photo shoot was taken by Travellive on a sunny day in the nal lunar month of the
year when Tet had almost arrived. The beauty of the old world Saigon from Thien Hau
Pagoda, to the lantern street, to Chinatown, creates a truly breathtaking and amazing
backdrop for the photos.

AND A BACKGROUND IN THE
DIAMOND BUSINESS
Ngoc Doan may not have the look of an experienced CEO, nor the look of
a designer, but she exudes the vibe of someone with a burning passion for
diamonds and only diamonds.
BORN INTO A FAMILY OF JEWELERS WITH A PASSION FOR
PRECIOUS STONES
"I'm the third generation in my family to run a jewelry business. Diamonds were
simply a part of my childhood. It has been natural for me to follow the footsteps
of my father and grandfather", Ngoc Doan shared. Ngoc grew up knowing
since her very early days that she was meant to be in the same
business as her family, but she had bigger plans. Ngoc's decision
to study abroad, which had always felt like the right path for her,
indeed took Ngoc on a journey toward her passion. Ngoc had
nothing but love for diamonds.
Ngoc's love for diamonds is everything her life is about. As a
decisive and quick-minded person, Ngoc knew what to do as
soon as she step foot into the competitive world of diamond.
After graduating with a Degree in Applied Jewelry Arts from the
Gemological Institute of America, Ngoc spent 5 years in the US
working as a gemologist before returning home to Ho Chi
Minh City, Vietnam to found her luxurious jewelry brand
Leman Jewels.
Leman Jewels was founded on Ngoc's passion, devotion,
and a long history of her family's tradition. With such
a strong and unwavering passion. Ngoc always strives
to find the best quality diamonds in the market to
ensure its lasting value. To Ngoc and Leman, every
product must be selected carefully and treated like
a piece of art. This meticulour aproach to treating
every piece of jewelry remains her key to winning
the trust of her most picky customers.
TAKE VIETNAMESE JEWELRY TO A
HIGHER LEVEL
Looking back on her journey, Ngoc Doan shared,
"The only thing you need for every dream to realize
is passion." When Ngoc chooses a diamond, ideas often
fill her mind almost immediately. The sparkle of diamonds is
something that always makes Ngoc's heart skip a bit. Life feels like
it is smiling to you when in your hand is a beautiful diamond. This passion
and devotion often make it difficult for Ngoc to make decisions, but it is also the
very foundation for Ngoc and Leman's today success.
Ngoc Doan is still the same gentle and quiet person, who is uncomfortable with
fame, but the determined and eager expression on her face has never changed
for once. Ngoc plans to expand the brand across Southeast Asia over the next
five years to bigger and more competitive markets.
Leman and the story of Ngoc's passion for diamonds will continue where
business and art can unite for a single purpose. Ngoc is a living proof of what a
Vietnamese can do with her passion to build one of the most prestigious jewelry
house in Vietnam.

Authentic
NORTHERN TET
DISHES
Text & Photo : Ngoc Tran - Food stylist: Mã CµrËt
The Tet food tray is the most important spread of food of the year, and is in
celebration of the family reunion during Tet
A traditional Tet food tray in Northern Vietnam is made up of dishes
distributed equally among the number of bowls and plates which are 4-4,
6-6, or 8-8. Each dish represents a different story of Tet, and showcases the
wife's cooking talent.

The boiled chicken dish may look
simple, but to cook it right is no easy
task. When cooked, the skin must not
be cracked, it should have a nice color,
and most importantly, the meat must
be tender. It's then served with a salt,
pepper, and lime dip, and garnished
with kafr lime leaves.
Chicken glass noodle soup is a dish
that makes use of the water left over
from boiling the chicken and the
chicken giblets to balance the whole
meal full of meat and sticky rice.
The mixed stir-fry is made up of pork
rind, beans, carrots, mushrooms, heart
and kidney to give the dish an attractive
color, and is a perfect addition to the
Tet food tray.
Gac fruit sticky rice is chosen for its
color as red is believed to bring good
luck for the new year.
It is best to enjoy the meat jelly when
the weather is cold with some light
rain. If you are not the fussy type,
simply take pork or chicken meat,
or pig trotters, braise over low heat
with onions and mushrooms for one
night, let the cold temperature itself
cool the meat down for a day, and
your meat jelly will be ready to be
enjoyed with pickled cabbage.
Banh chung, a traditional Vietnamese
rice cake made from glutinous rice,
mung beans and pork, can now be
easily found in supermarkets and
markets. The best banh chung however,
is made at home with the gather of the
whole family after a busy year.
Pickled onions with a little pungent,
spicy, and sour taste, are best enjoyed
with banh chung.
The spring rolls, with their sweet
and sour dipping sauce, are a hugely
popular dish around the world,
and an indispensable Tet dish. For
delicious spring rolls, the ingredients
must be well proportioned, and fried
in hot oil over medium-high heat to
get that crispy crust.
Vietnamese bamboo shoot soup is a
dish made with pig trotters and dried
bamboo shoots. The dish often reects
the talent of the cook. When I was
young, my mother often took a week
to prepare all the ingredients necessary
for a delicious bamboo shoot soup. The
dried bamboo shoots must be soaked
in water, and stewed several times with
new water each time to get rid of its
bitter taste, then stir-fried, and finally
cooked some more with the stewed
broth of pig trotters. The nal bamboo
shoots must taste like lean meat.

NORTHERNERS CALL pork roll gio, while in the
south, it is often referred to as cha. Whether you
are treated to a delicous Tet feast in the style of the
North that includes many dishes, or enjoy a simple
Tet meal in the south, pork roll is an essential part
of Tet.
Among all sorts of pork roll, cha lua or gio cha
(steamed pork roll) and gio thu (meat jelly) are two
indispensable Tet dishes.
To make a tasty pork roll, the selection of meat at
the beginning of the process is very important. The
pork must be fresh, still warm and rosy red, and
already stripped of its tendons and skin, leaving
lean meat to be pounded. The traditional way of
making pork roll is challengingly arduous as the
pork must be pounded by hands in a stone mortar.
Another easier way is to grind the meat rst before
pounding. However, the tastiest pork roll is always
pounded entirely by hands.
When the meat becomes pasty and soft, sh sauce
can be added to the meat for flavor, but some spices
are also often added depending on each family's
recipe. The mixture is then wrapped tightly in
banana leaves into a cylindrical shape and steamed.
A 1kg pork roll typically takes an hour to cook,
while small rolls about half a kilo in weight take 50
minutes.
The pork roll, when cooked, has a slightly fragant
smell, and can be left to cool down, or eaten straight
away with a bowl of white rice. A good pork roll when
sliced must have bubble holes in it, be slightly pink,
and still be a little wet. If the cooked roll turns out
white and free of bubble holes, then it must contain
a lot of borax, a potentially cancer-causing chemical
additive illegal in many countries though still used
in Vietnam.
It is a must to enjoy, if not cha lua, gio thu during
Tet. Gio thu is a type of meat jelly made with esh
from the head of a calf or pig, and is an ideal treat
to enjoy with Vietnemese alcohol during Tet. It can
be made at home, a recipe which is easy to make,
but difficult to make well. The hardest process is
to balance between the parts of ears, nose, and
tongue as well as estimating the amount of cloud
ear fungus, pepper, and spices to be added into the
mixture. Some would remove the nose for the meat
jelly to contain less fat, some remove the tongue
to retain moisture, while some would add a bigger
portion of ear cartilage and cloud ear fungi into the
mixture for taste.
The mixture is then stir-fried, and then pepper, sh
sauce, onions, and spices are added into the meat
according to taste since there is no exact proportion.
When asked, my mother would just often say, "Add
in a little of every thing!" and you can't help but feel
frustrated at the useless advice. When the meat is
cooked, it must be wrapped tightly in banana leaves.
You should warm the banana leaves rst through
re to make the leaves soft, less pungent, and easier
to wrap with.
Any type of meat in Vietnam can be used to make
gio cha from cha bo (beef roll with herbs), to cha
ngua (horse meat roll), to cha be (calf roll). Each
region of Vietnam has their own version of gio cha
with different recipes. Homemade gio cha is likely
to have a different taste from year to year, and never
tastes the same twice.
My favorite will always be my family's recipe.
Despite the fact that I have tried all different kinds
of cold cuts and sausages, but the tastiest I have
to admit is my mum's homemade gio cha, to be
savored with a bowl of steamed white rice!

FOLK OR TET PAINTINGS, HAVE LONG BEEN A FINE
VIETNAMESE TRADITION ON THE OCCASION OF TET. IT
USED TO BE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN EVERY VIETNAMESE
HOUSEHOLD FROM RICH TO POOR AS IT INDICATES THE
ARRIVAL OF SPRING AND THE RETURN OF TET.
A few decades ago, Dong Ho Village (Thuan Thanh District, Bac Ninh Province) was the
place that produced the majority of folk paintings in Vietnam. The twelfth month of the
lunar calendar is the most hectic season for the purchase of folk paintings. Trading boats
from all over the country would ock to Dong Ho to buy the pictures in bulk, which were
often stacked together to be shipped to villages across the country in time for Tet.
Besides Dong Ho, local villages such as Kim Hoang (Hanoi) and Sinh Village (Hue) developed
their own distinctive folk painting style to meet the needs of their respective regions. The
paintings which originated in rural areas ended up nding their way to urban life, and gave
way to the Hang Trong painting line in the very heart of Hanoi.

Characteristics of folk paintings
How come the folk paintings
were so popular?
Besides an affordable price, the paintings were considered
beautiful and a must-have for every household. Over a
century ago, the French painter Henri Oger was the rst
westerner to nd the beauty and charm in Vietnamese
folk paintings, especially in the use of bright and powerful
colors unlike in western countries, or anywhere else for that
matter. "Annam folk paintings are presented in a collection
of strong and contrasting colors. Through these paintings, a
preference for bright and vivid colors is detected. " (from the
Mechanics and crafts of the people of Annam, published by
the French School of the Far East, 1909).
Henri Oger had artists sketch around 4,500 drawings to
document all aspects of Vietnamese village life in the early
20th century. He also hired skillful wood carvers to produce
wood carvings, and began printing folk paintings, leaving
behind an incredibly priceless and meaningful treasure that
depicted Vietnamese society over a century ago.
Later, a French scholar M. Durand, assembled and
introduced the book collection "L'emagerie populaire
Vietnamiene" (Vietnamese folk paintings) published in
Paris in 1960. The collection consists of 533 folk paintings
both from the Dong Ho and Hang Trong painting lines.
Many French painters and scholars who happened to be
in Vietnam during the colonial period were charmed and
fascinated with Vietnam's beautiful folk paintings.
The folk painting lines use colors from various kinds of
natural materials which are easily found in Vietnam from
soil, to bamboo leaves, to indigo leaves to pagoda tree
flowers. Brilliant works are created against an earthy-tone
background of rural Vietnam from brown walls, to brown
clothing, to thatched roofs, to the brown stone walls that
surrounded the Vietnamese pagodas and temples. Folk
paintings are considered a colorful element of Tet which
warm the hearts of the rural people who liked to enjoy the
simple things in life.
Vietnamese folk paintings impressed the French even
more with their diverse themes including calligraphy.
Most Vietnamese at the time were illiterate, so they were
particularly fond of words. To them, hanging words inside
"Each year when the peach blossoms flowered
Back here came the old master
Spreading red scrolls and Chinese ink
At this busy street corner."
the house helped express their hope for their children and
grandchildren to become educated. The chosen Han and
Nom characters often serve as a wish to realize this dream.
Most common words Phuc, Loc, Tho, Xuan, Khang, Ninh,
Duc, Phu, Quy, Phat, and Than, are written beautifully in
the nest brush strokes.
Playing with words has been around since ancient times,
which is beautifully expressed in Vu Dinh Lien's poem
"The Old Scholar".
Every year at the return of Tet, this play of words is often
spotted in the folk paintings displayed at spring festivals
across the country, written by contemporary calligraphers.

Paintings
Expressing aspirations
and wishes
The folk paintings is a way for old
Vietnamese villagers to express
their aspirations and good wishes
for future generations. They wanted
nothing but a life of simple bliss, free
from harm by evil forces. The folk
paintings they hung in their houses
are considered "sacred charms" that
worship different gods in hope of a
tranquil life.
Through the paintings, the villagers
also wished for a full and happy life
with good crops, fertile soil, and
many children, especially a son to
continue the family line following
Vietnamese traditional beliefs. The
belief is evidently depicted in the
popular images of a chubby boy
holding a shrimp, a sh or a Buddha's
hand fruit. Some other themes
which express good wishes include a
corpulent pig with suckling piglets,
or a hen surrounded by chickens,
or sometimes just a pair of golden
roosters in Kim Hoang paintings or
a rooster with the words "Dai Cat"
written in Han characters in Dong Ho
paintings.
The folk paintings also brilliantly
portray Vietnam's spiritual life in the
early 20th century when every village
had their own pagoda. The "Thap vat"
painting style is the clearest indication
of spiritual values instilled in villagers
of Northern Vietnam. The paintings
are often small, simple, and only in
black, which are not to be hung, but
burned for the dead.
Some of the most lively folk paintings
depict popular past folk games such
as swinging, cock ghting, tug-ofwar,
chess playing, and catching a
goat while blindfolded. A number of
humorous themes can also be found
on folk paintings as well such as
Danh ghen (Jealousy) and Hung dua
(Coconuts catching). The folk painting
themes also include satirical potrayal
of the bribe culture in Dam cuoi
chuot, a rat's wedding which features
a wedding march of rats delivering
gifts to a big cat in hope that the cat
will leave the happy couple alone.
The folk paintings are among the
last few precious remains of old
Vietnamese rural life, and are a
legacy left behind by our Vietnamese
forefathers. This is a legacy that
will remain over time through
the restoration efforts that many
artisans are doing with Kim Hoang
folk paintings, and through the
essence of folk paintings captured
by contemporary artists in which the
same lines, colors, styles, and themes
are used in modern paintings to
portray a unique national identity.

Dare to live, dare to dream, and dare to experience - Those are the traits shared by the most popular Vietnamese travel bloggers.
They step out into the world with a youthful and passionate spirit, and often go beyond their limits to make positive changes to our
community. They are also the people who go where others fear to tread in farflung places with some of the harshest of conditions,
and come back richer in experience. Their never ending journeys are creating a wave, and becoming an inspiration to those who
love to travel and lead a meaningful life.

Nhi Dang's most memorable journey in 2017 was the 21-day trip to Iran with a
group of close friends. During the trip, her horizon was broadened with unique
experience at the Islamic country, historically known as Persia. In 2017, Nhi
Dang posted her travel videos to share her unique experiences with others, and
received positive feedback on social media. The "T©y Bæc - The old ways" clip
was well-received on Facebook, and was among the best videos of the month
on vimeo.com.
Nhi Dang said: "When you travel, you touch the meaning of life, broaden your
senses, look deep into the world, listen to life and breath the aliveness of life. You
travel to learn new things, open your heart widely and embrace challenges".

The rst trip Bao went on was to Tibet when he was 31 years old, at a starting age
considered much later than other travel bloggers. Bao traveled extensively within an
incredibly short amount of time. For over 10 years, Bao has visited 72 countries and
territories, and has been to ve continents, large kingdoms, and historical regions.
Hoang Bao has always been deeply interested in the cultural aspect of his destinations.
Bao often travels to places where early civilizations emeged, from the Indo-Gangetic
Plain in India, to the Mesopotamians in the Middle East, to the Inca in South America.
Other civilizations include along the legendary Nile River, the Roman empire in Italy,
and some other civilizations in southern European countries.
Hoang Bao's biggest wish is to explore the world, and share his experiences with other
travelers. "Traveling enables us to have an open mind and an open heart. It also helps
broaden our horizon", shared Bao on the reason behind his travels. Bao is writing a
book titled "Sinh ra Æ” b≠Ìc Æi trong trÍi" to inspire other travelers to do the same.

Thanh's most memorable trips are also her most challenging trips. In 2016, Thanh competed
in the 4 Deserts Grand Slam, which is a 7-day and 250-km race at different locations in the
most challenging climates: the hottest (Sahara), the most windy (Gobi), the driest (Atacama),
and the coldest (Antartica) deserts. The total distance Thanh ran was 1,000km across the world's
four most challenging locations. In 2017, Thanh completed her longest run in the red desert of
Australia, a distance of 522km from Alice Springs to Uluru in 10 days.
Thanh is the rst Asian woman to complete the 4 Deserts Grand Slam, and until today, there are
only 13 women in the world having completed the race.
To Thanh, travel should be accompanied with social responsibilities, which is becoming a trend
among young Vietnamese travelers. It is a postive trend and Thanh is glad to be a part of it.
Thanh shared, before competing in her rst desert marathon, Thanh was able to raise over
120 million VND for the Rainbow Foundation to provide scholarships, and build schools and
libraries for the ethnic minority children in the highlands.
Thanh added, travel bloggers like her could make many signicant changes to the community
and society at large.

"A 28-year-old friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer, and had only a few
months to live. It made me realize how short life is, and we only have an average life
span of about 60 years. I was pretty shocked, and started questioning myself on what
I have and have not done”, shared Ly Thanh Co, who represents a generation of eager
and brave young Vietnamese who live life to the fullest.

Youth is often lled with all sorts of fear. "The fear of doing something for the rst
time is a part of youth. Try not to be overwhelmed, and instead give your passion a
voice." Co has since visited 24 countries, and overcome his fears of cultural, linguistic
and geographical differences.
After posting a story on the fears that accompany youth on his personal blog, a book
publisher suggested Co to write a book. The sudden idea made Co realize, "Why
shouldn't I become an author?"
Co started writing 2 pages a day, and the book was completed within 2 months. The
book is not only a travel memoir, but it also details a great friendship between Co and
the two foreign friends he met during his trips. In the book, Co also includes some
tips for young people to overcome their fears. The book is titled "TuÊi trŒ trong v›, bπn
mua Æ≠Óc g◊", and is scheduled to debut this year.
Ly Thanh Co added, "Imagine yourself an empty book, and every journey you embark
on will give you something to write and ll a page."

Tam Bui started traveling when he was 29 years old. Tam wanted to visit as many
any places as he could to learn about different cultures and satisfy his passion
for photography. But the more Tam went, the more he realized, there is a larger
unknown territory that needs exploring, the inside of his mind.
Three years later, Tam began to search within himself, and started learning about
his own emotions, how they are formed, and how they work, to free himself from his
emotions. Tam shared, "That's how I found true freedom." Tam added, "We have
only one life, so live it to the fullest. Enjoy the present. When life is meaningful, the
impossible will happen."
Cherishing his own life and cherishing others' is Tam Bui's life philosophy. When
Tam made a prot from something, he often dedicated a part of the profit to his
favorite charities. Tam either went to give people the direct support they need, or
did so through reputable charitable organizations. At the end of his book launch for
"BÙi Æ≠Íng tuÊi trŒ", Tam donated all of his royalties to the Operation Smile Charity
which, according to him, is a social responsibility any travel blogger should take.

Within eight years from 2009 to 2017, Duong Quoc Thang has visited 55 countries and
territories around the world, experiencing from the freezing temperature of almost -
40 degrees in the Arctic to the scorching temperature of 40 degrees in Punta Quilla,
South Argentina. Thang's most challening journey is probably his trip to Longyearbyen,
Svalbard, Norway (near the Arctic) at the end of 2012. Thang's most memorable trip
during the last few years was to visit the Kazakh tribes in the Altai Mountain, western
Mongolia, and the Tsaatan tribe in the taiga forest on the Mongolian and Russian border,
next to Siberia in early 2017.
Thang has played an active role in the community since he was a student. Thang joined
English clubs and, together with other international volunteers, helped providing support
for many of Ho Chi Minh City's orphanage centers, as well as the Disabled People's
Association, and the Association of the Elderly Single.
During the time Thang spent in Europe, he actively participated in numerous
environmental and social programs such as "Say no to nylon bags", calling for gender
equality in marriage in the Netherlands, joining a campaign to clean up the canals around
Amsterdam, and calling to boycott the annual whale hunting festival in Norway.
Thang now lives in Danang, and he continues to participate in marathon events calling the
community to preserve Son Tra Forest and the population of white-headed languars.

Hoang Oanh is one of the few travel bloggers who prefer to travel slow. Oanh
often spends not weeks, but months in a foreign land to learn about the culture
of that country. "The opportunity to eat, sleep, and live like a local is a truly
unique experience," shared Hoang Oanh referring to the time she spent in San
Francisco, USA.
Oanh has visited over 50 countries and 100 cities around the world, and has been
to four continents - an impressive number some might say. To Oanh, traveling
is a way for travelers to preserve nature, and return the hospitality. Oanh spent
a lot of her time doing volunteer works during her travels. Oanh once joined a
charity organization in Kenya to teach children, provided health and education for
the local women, and looked after them. Oanh also participated in the sea turtle
preservation at a sea turtle care center in Costa Rica.
It is important to be who you are, independant, and taking an active role is the
world. Hoang Oanh shared, "There are three things I think I do best: travel, write,
and cook. I'm very fortunate to be able to do all those three things in my life."

Trung loves travel. Over the last few years, Trung noticed an increasing need for homestay

founded Urban Getaway.
The Urrban Getaway project has generated more jobs for locals, helped introduce local products
to visitors, and raised awareness for nature and environmental issues. Trung is trying to expand
his project to other provinces across the country, while participating in a number of projects
that concern the welfare of the community and the environment.

Thuy Nguyen is both a painter and a fashion designer. Thuy's inspiration mainly comes
from Vietnam's cultural elements, in which her designs balance the aspects between
tradition and modernity.
After years getting caught up in the world of a painter, Thuy decided to venture into the
world of fashion. In 2011, she successfully founded Thuy Design House, a high-end fashion
line inspired by traditional elements combined with contemporary features. With bold
designs woven on silk and brocade materials, Thuy Design collections, especially ao dai,
have been featured on the runway of both domestic and international fashion shows. The
elegant long dresses featured by the cast in the recently released popular Vietnamese film
C´ Ba Sµi Gfln, were designed by Thuy Nguyen.
With almost 20 years experience working in art, Thuy understood the many challenges
that young Vietnamese contemporary artists have to face. In 2016, Thuy founded The
Factory Contemporary Arts Centre to create and host interdisciplinary comtemporary art
and cultural activites, connecting artists and art lovers alike.
Thuy shared, "I cannot say that I've made a significant contribution to the Vietnamese art
community. Whatever I do will never be enough. I strongly belileve however, only when
we unite to put common interests above us, only then we can breakthrough and take many
steps forward."

Stemmed form a love for children's paintings, Tflhe was founded after Nguyen took a trip to the
Picasso Museum in Spain, and especially after reading the artist's famous quote, "It took me
four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."
On his return to Vietnam, Nguyen started to organize creative activities, playgrounds, and
drawing classes at many social protection centers, in which the products were printed with the
children's paintings and sold. A part of the prot is deducted to make its way back to help the
children. Today, Tflhe has been in operation for over 10 years.
The philosophy behind Tflhe is to spread the children's child-like spirit to everyone. Looking at
the paintings, one would feel much happier and more in love with life. Tflhe has made changes in
people's perceptions on the beauty as the child-like quality in children's paintings. Many paintings
from autistic children have been sold by Tflhe with some costing several million dongs.
Nguyen is currently pursuing the project "Build a school with paintings", calling for the children
to contribute using their creativity. Their nished paintings can be sent to the Tflhe Bank.
The project is a nonprot project aimed to draw attention to the children's paintings. Prots
proceeding from the sale will be donated to the school building fund.

The biggest turning point was when Li Lam was pregnant with her son. Lam was forced to
leave work and stay at home. For an entire year, Lam went in search of the right fabrics and a
warehouse to produce her own designs. When Lam's son was born, her warehouse was lled
with clothes. Lam's journey began from there.
Lam had done a thorough research to understand her clients' need and deliver what is expected
of her and her designs. Lam believes her success is largely due to her deep understanding both
as a designer and a business person.
Lam will soon be lauching the Lam Fund with some friends to host artistic activities, and
support young designers and art lovers in the realization of their dreams.
In 2018, Lam will be launching the "Lifestyle Consultancy Service by Li Lam" after three years
of preparation. The service will provide consultation not only on clothing and personal images,
but also on architecture and interior design for people. Li Lam has always been deeply interested
in leaving a positive impact on the community.

Pham Huy was a former architect, who later ventured into wooden furniture. His current
work includes the design and making process of wooden furnitures as well as finding the use
for recycled natural woods. Huy hopes his work will play a signicant part in the protection
of the environment.
The products that Huy designs and makes boast a higher value than the average piece of
furniture. Huy noted that it is important for his carpenters and handicraft makers get the pay
they deserve, so that they can lead a stress-free life, and make top quality products. Huy takes
extra special care in the vocational training and production process of his staffs to ensure the
products are made to perfection, much like those made overseas, to target a high end market.
To Pham Huy, his passion makes up 80% and creativity 20% in his success. Huy's work
is separated into two phases. The rst is to remake the furnitures designed in developed
countries such as the Northern Europe or China. Later, Huy is looking to create and make his
own designs. Huy believes one's passion is the key to success.

Hanoians come to the market to not only buy the owers, but also relive sweet memories of their childhood when they used
to follow their mothers to the market, and were taken by the amazing dispaly of owers from peonies, to chrysanthemums,
to violets, and to gladioli, all wrapped beautifully in the dark green dong leaves. I used to follow my grandfather and
father to the market to help them pick a peach blossom branch, a kumquat tree, and a small pot of daffodil to offer to our
ancestors on the altar. The most recognized flower is the peach blossom of the North. Tet would not be complete without a
peach blossom branch! They can be found in colors ranging fom pink to light pink. The sight of the peach blossom and the
often drizzling rain of spring creates a truly special atmosphere. In addition to fresh owers, articial flowers in all sorts of
colors, made by the hands of talented craftsmen, are also sold in abundance at the market.
The Tet ower market is like a harmonious melody of colors, and the crowds of people who visit the market large blocks of
paints. Clothing in different colors can be seen woven together into a vivid picture of colors against the silver gray weather
background of spring.

At the Tet market, you will nd flowers, and everything you need for a happy Tet including material and spiritual items from
dried bamboo shoots, biscuits, candied fruits, sweet soups, to traditional medicines, to vases, to clothing for children and the
elderly. Humbly displayed at a small stall in a corner of the market are red and green paper votive offerings as well as fragant
incense. The smell and smoky sight of Tet incense can warm one's heart, and make people feel truly at peace.
Tet market would not be complete without the corner of the old scholars who draw beautiful old characters on red papers, in
which the wishes and dreams of the buyer are carried - bringing closer the unmistakably joyful vibe of Tet. Tet market seems to
never get old, and to this day, remains such a ne and charming tradition of the Hanoian that returns every spring.

T ET IN THE
HEART OF
S AIGON'S
C HINATOWN
Like most cities around the world, Saigon has its own
Chinatown, where generations of Chinese have lived. From
typical Chinese decorations, to colorful and eye-catching
shops, to rhythmic music as well as unique communal
activities, Cho Lon is a must-visit attraction to explore,
especially in the days leading up to Tet.

TRAVELLIVE

From various shopping stalls, to hundreds of types of Tet decorations, to fortunetelling
markets, to unique temples and pagodas, Saigon's Chinatown - Cho Lon, is
one of the most interesting places to visit this Lunar New Year.
The Saigon people
once had an old
saying, "To eat you
must go to District 5,
to sleep District 3, to
enjoy luxury District
1, and to experience
robbery District 4."
Cho Lon, therefore,
has become a mustvistit
destination for
when one is hungry,
and in need of truly
tasty food.
Walking along the main roads of District 5 from Hai Thuong Lan Ong, Chau Van
Liem to Tran Hung Dao, you will likely nd a number of stalls selling all sorts of
Tet items from gold coins, to joss papers, to wall paintings, to lucky envelopes,
all colorfully dangled in front of the shops, while their grounds are covered with
mascot statues, opposing verses, recrackers, and beautiful apricot blossom
branches.
If you are lucky, you will get to enjoy and participate in amazing Lunar New
Year festivities such as the dragon dance, floating candles, calligraphy writing,
painting, and shing. Some might think when you live in this city long enough,
there is nothing left for you to see, but that could not be more wrong. The longer
you stay, the more you realize there are, in fact, plenty of things for you to explore
around Saigon.
Come to Cho Lon, you will get to enjoy tasty street foods, buy various Tet items,
and admire, as well as understand, more about Chinatown's amazing architectual
heritage. I visited several pagodas and temples to offer burning incense in hope
for peace, and relive some old memories of the past.
The Chinese community in Cho Lon worship gods and patron deities in their
temples, who were often excellent individuals that helped hundreds of thousands
of people in need, and therefore were later worshiped as deities. Among those is
Quan Cong or Zihuang, a military general of the state of Eastern Wu during the
Three Kingdoms period of China. Another deity is Bao Gong or Bao Zheng, a
legendary government ofcer known for his extreme honesty and uprightness.

The unique
architecture
of Thien
Hau Temple.
Or Zheng He, formerly known as Cheng Ho, a famous Chinese admiral and
explorer who helped bring order to the Chinese communities wherever he went.
And Mazu, a Chinese sea goddess who protected helpless sailors in trouble at sea
through miraculous interventions.
One might mistake the similarity in architecture among assembly halls and
temples here, but each of them, sophisticated as they are, tells a different
story. The details on the roof of a temple can tell a lot about the wealth of that
community as well as its roots.

The Hokkien architectural style features a swallowtail roof which has an upwardcurving
ridge shaped like the tail of a swallow, and lion sculptures in stone to
guard the entrance. Such features can be found on On Lang Assembly Hall (Quan
Am Pagoda) and Ha Chuong Assembly Hall. The roofs are steeper and more
curved than usual. The roof tiles are shaped like waves, recalling a period when
the Chinese fled their own country in search of a better place to settle down, just
like how the Hoklo people arrived in Vietnam.
The Minh huong, descendants of the Ming from China, on the other hand,
like to decorate their communal temples (typically the Minh Huong Gia Thanh
Communal Temple) with meaningful opposing verses, hung all around. Thien
Hau Temple, one of the oldest temples in Cho Lon, built by the Cantonese
community, features yin-yang clay roof tiles, and small delicately fashioned
porcelain gurines expressing themes from Chinese legends.
For those who happen to visit Cho Lon during this special occasion, do not forget
to pay a visit to the unique Cha Tam Church or Church of St. Francisco Javier,
located near the end of Tran Hung Dao Street. Boasting a mixed architectural
style between the East and West cultures, Cha Tam Church features yin-yang
Cho Lon is an
attraction worth
visiting when in
Saigon, especially
on the occasion of
Tet. You will get to
not only explore
a fascinating
culture, but also
purchase many
decorative items
for the New Year.

oof tiles, opposing verses in gold and red with the
windows, building frames, and symmetrical pillars
in Gothic style.
After visiting the church, you can take a leisurely
stroll around the old Chinese apartments, located on
the over 100 year-old alley of Hao Si Phuong. Built
in the 1910s, the alley was first inhabited by Teochew
and Hainan people until 1975 with most working as
hired laborers.
The Saigon people once had an old saying, "To eat
you must go to District 5, to sleep District 3, to enjoy
luxury District 1, and to experience robbery District
4." Cho Lon, therefore, has become a must-visit
destination for when one is hungry, and in need of
truly tasty food.
You will be able to enjoy the freshest of noodles
made on the spot on traditional trolleys. The noodles
are made entirely by hands from scratch, and they
sell out quickly within the day. With such a chewy
and tender taste, the noodles pair perfectly with duck
or char siu. The cozy setting will remind you of your
favorite TVB drama. The braised herbal chicken
which include herbs from goji, gan di huang, jujube,
to ginkgo, and does not only taste delicious with
such sweet and tender meat, but is also good for
your health. At the corner of Nguyen Trai is where
you can try the tasty shball curry, a famous street
snack from Hong Kong.
Last but not least, you must try the delicious sweet
soup on Tran Hung Dao Street. Most sweet soups in
Cho Lon contain less sugar, less fat, and no coconut
milk like the majority of Vietnamese sweet soups.
Some types of sweet soup sold here even have a
slightly bitter taste from the extracts of ginkgo and
guilinggao. Black seasame soup is another must-try
dish. Sweet soups are interestingly pleasant dishes
that can be enjoyed either hot or cold.
Rarely will you find such a unique city like Saigon
with an interesting mix of different cultures.
Each district is like a "little town" of a different
community. Cho Lon is an attraction worth visiting
when in Saigon, especially on the occasion of Tet.
You will get to not only explore a fascinating culture,
but also purchase many decorative items for the
New Year. You can visit a number of markets such
as the fortune telling market on Chau Van Liem,
textile market on Soai Lam, materials market on
Dai Quang Minh, Chinese medicine market on Hai
Thuong Lan Ong, and silver gold market on Nhieu
Tam - Nghia Thuc.

A JOURNEY

Unlike most of the
destination articles
we have written
on Travellive, this
time, the story of
Phan Cac Truc, a
Travellive reporter,
who traveled to
Burma with her
friends, flows
naturally like a
poem. It is the
journey of a group
of young people
from stars to actors
to painters, who
all share a passion
for art, creativity,
and the desire to
explore the world.
FULL OF MEMORIES
TRAVELLIVE 127

Was the song we listened to while traveling along the river in
Mandalay, while watching the sunset reecting its many streaks
of colors onto the beautifully clear water. Sunset in Burma was so
amazing that my friend Quang Dai exclaimed, "Look at how the
end of something could be so beautiful!"
AN UNPLANNED AND RANDOM TRIP
Our trip to Burma was decided on the spur of the moment. One
evening while having dinner together, I suggested to the rest the
group, "Burma seems like a pretty interesting place to visit. Why
don't we plan a trip together soon?" Dai quickly replied, "Let's
book the tickets now!" Trang did not hesitate for one second, and
chimed in eagerly, "I'm in!", and just like that, we had a holiday.
With no planning and not even bothered to do any research on
the mysterious country of Burma, we simply packed our bags, and
headed to the airport.
Our rst impression was that Burma turned out to be less magical
than we had expected it to be. Our trip from the airport to the
capital of Yangon was lled with annoying honking horns, and
terrible trafc jams. We even saw a man spitting out his chewed
betel quid from his car window before realizing that we had been
ripped off by our taxi driver as we paid 20,000Kyat (equivalent to
400,000VND) instead of the usual 7,000Kyat fare (perhaps even
cheaper with a Grab taxi) to the city center.
128
TRAVELLIVE

The city of Yangon has an old colonial charm like Saigon
in the 1990s with children playing in the streets free of
care, and the food sellers using their bare hands to mix the
food. We could hear murmuring sounds in the distance
from old buildings full of tenants hanging clothes.
THE TRANQUILITY OF YANGON
Burma has a large network of alleys. Along the mossy
walls were the street food stalls that sold everything from
mango and salted chilli to boiled water caltrops to grilled
meat. In the morning, you will likely nd a group of tiny
monks wrapped in pink robes, going on an almsround to
ask for food, and chanting for peace. I did not understand
the meaning of the sutra they were chanting, but the
rhythmic sound was soothing enough to brighten our rst
day in Burma, and ll us with a sense of inner tranquility.
The temple we visited in Yangon was a small temple with
less tourists than others, but surrounding the temple
were thousands of pigeons. They were on the ground, and
on the cable lines at every intersection, looking like dark
clutters of clouds in the middle of the street. While Trang
was busy taking pictures of the birds, Mai tried to spread
some food around evenly for them. Dai on the other hand,
went quickly into hiding as he was afraid of the birds.
TRAVELLIVE 129

to remove your shoes and socks when entering temples where you will be
asked the day of your birth to determine which god you should pray to. In
Vietnam, the month of birth of either the Gregorian or lunar calendar is
more important while the Burmese calculate their birth date based on the
day of the week of which you were born. In Burma, every day of the week is
believed to mean a different thing, and it can tell a lot about the personality
of a person. Each day of the week is blessed by a different god, except for
Wedneday which is blessed by two: one for morning and one for afternoon
- known as Yar Hu or Rahu.
The god to worship for those who are born on Sunday is Garuda - a half
human and half bird creature, Monday a tiger, Tuesday a lion, Wednesday
morning a tusked elephant, Wednesday afternoon an elephant without tusk,
Thursday a rat, Friday a guinea pig, and Saturday a naga (snake).
STORIES OF NO
BEGINNING OR END
Our trip to Burma, as described by
Dai, was like the journey of a lost story
that you might have read a long time
ago, but cannot remember the details.
Left in your memory are only names,
storylines, and scents. I especially
loved conversations that have neither
beginning nor end, and aimless
promises to give each other a bag of
banh cua, or the grumbling sound that
came from one another signaled the
hunger of our companions.
The time we spent together in Bagan
was such an unforgettable experience
as we wrapped ourselves in a small
blanket while sitting on top of an
ancient temple to watch the amazing
sunrise, and hot air balloons. We
wandered around the whole area of the
Bagan Archaeological Zone including
Old Bagan, New Bagan, and NangU.
130
TRAVELLIVE

I bought a small log of Thanaka, which became
a fun thing to play with for the group. No
one was initially interested in having their
face covered in Thanaka. But later on, when
learning that Thanaka was the beauty secret of
the Burmese which has been around for 2000
years, everyone was eager to grind the dried
Thanaka bark into a paste on a circular slate
slab, and then smear it onto each other's face,
cheeks, nose, and even eyelids.
It was an incredible experience to wander in
a new land, chat with strangers, join a quiz at
a local bar, and enjoy authentic Shan noodles.
I will never forget the days we spent ghting
over each other to see who would get to eat
the instant noodles we brought along, singing
the song "Come away with me" (Norah Jones),
catching the breezy wind, or gazing at the
starry sky. I am certain that those memories
will never repeat, just like the sand of time one
can never stop with their hands. Our youth
will be gone one day, but the memory of my
friend's terrible singing, and smokey smell will
always remain.
There is something so unexplainably
engrossing about the sky in Burma. We visited
the stunning white pagoda of Hsinbyume
in Mandalay on our last day before hiring
a boat to cruise along the Irrawaddy River
to watch the sun silently and beautully set
over the BerlinU wooden bridge, the longest
bridge made of teak in the world which is 1.2
kilometer long. Time seemed to stop for a
moment.
We then decided to cite a poem that perfectly
suited to the picturesque setting.
"When we were young
With heart like a window
Embracing the wind
Wishing to go away
To some far away place
When we were young
With a simple mind and a self-centered heart
Needed only a job to go on living
A person to love
And little trips to travel on the weekends."

than its predecessor. The HERO6 Black remains water resistant up to 10m which is great for divers or people who often feel the
need for "vitamin sea". It also boasts a 2 inch touchscreen, voice commands, and an updated QuikStories application that allows
you to edit your footage instantly. This is probably one of the best action cams out there in the market..

must include the reason for the
delay, new departure time or
replacement flight plan, service
plan for passengers, and passenger
assistance. The airline
carrier must apologize for any

VIETNAM AIRLINES
The Prime Minister has approved
a new developement
project for direct air routes
from Vietnam to key countries.
The project aims to promote
foregin investments and
strengthen relations between
Vietnam and other countries.
Vietnam Airlines is opening a
new direct route to a city in the
west coast of the United States
(San Francisco or Los Angeles)
this year. Vietnam is looking
to promote battlefield visits,
relatives visits, retreat holidays,
culture and history tourism, and
horticultural tourism for travelers
from the United States.
JEJU AIR
Until the end of February, Jeju

(Thailand). The airline is also
opening a number of flights
from January 4 to February 25

Airport to Bangkok (Thailand),
Taipei (China), and Ulan Bator

INDIA
As of January 3, only 40,000
Indians are allowed to enter the
famous Taj Mahal a day. The admission

chamber with the two tombs
of the king and queen, which
are inlaid with precious stones.
This restriction does not apply
to foreign visitors, who pay an
admission fee of 1,000 rupees
(16 USD). Domestic visitors are
only required to pay an admission
fee of 40 rupees, and are
allowed to pay a higher fee to
avoid the restriction.

new regulation applies starting
