Dear valUeD reaDers,<br />

Summer in Vietnam is sweltering, and while<br />

many locals have conditioned themselved<br />

to live under the sometimes seemingly<br />

unbearable heat, others opt to escape by taking<br />

long summer vacations all over the country.<br />

And you, are you ready for this summer?<br />

<strong>Travellive</strong> invites you to immerse yourselves in<br />

the sparkling blue sea, set your footprints on<br />

the most pristine beaches, and enjoy the finest<br />

luxury resorts across Vietnam.<br />

Summer is also an ideal time for you to venture<br />

out to farflung corners of the Earth to explore<br />

the amazing port city of Essaouira in Morocco<br />

or travel to Egypt to experience life in the lush<br />

desert of Siwa - the setting of the magical<br />

Arabian tale "One thousand and one nights".<br />

This summer, nature lovers are hoping<br />

to raise awareness about environmental<br />

protection and promote green travel by touring<br />

around the country by bike. Let us join them<br />

in their incredible two-wheel journeys, and<br />

likewise enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of<br />

Vietnam!<br />

Azerai Hotel opened in the Mekong Delta<br />

Located on a verdant islet in the Hau River, a major tributary to the<br />

Mekong River, the Azerai Hotel offers guests an unique oasis of calm in<br />

this culturally fascinating destination. Azerai is a new hotel brand that<br />

offers guests simple elegance, refined design, and discreet and attentive<br />

service in places of unique beauty and cultural interest. The name<br />

Azerai has its origin from "caravanserai" in Persian, which is an inn with<br />

a central courtyard for travelers in the desert regions. The opening of<br />

Azerai in Can Tho is expected to mark the launch of other projects in<br />

Vietnam by founder and legendary hotelier Adrian Zecha.<br />

One hundred years of honor<br />

The idea of a penthouse apartment<br />

was born in the 1920s, when<br />

economic growth brought a<br />

construction boom to New York<br />

City along with a high demand for<br />

luxurious apartments among the<br />

upper class. Penthouse apartments<br />

have gone beyond the normal<br />

concepts of living to become highend<br />

residences within metropolitan<br />

living spaces that are reserved for the<br />

most wealthy.<br />

One of the first penthouses was<br />

owned by American media magnate<br />

Condä Montrose Nast, the father of<br />

Vogue and Vanity Fair. His apartment<br />

was a penthouse duplex (two floors<br />

connecting) with an area of 465 m 2<br />

that included luxurious features such<br />

as a large function room, a ballroom, a<br />

library, and a beauty salon.<br />

Another notable penthouse was<br />

designed in 1925 for Marjorie<br />

Merriweather Post, the founder of<br />

General Foods and one of first truly<br />

rich women in America. Her penthouse<br />

apartment occupied the entire top three<br />

floors of the 1107 Fifth Avenue building<br />

in Manhattan, and included a rooftop,<br />

17 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a wine cellar,<br />

a flower and fur storage room, and a<br />

dining room for 125 guests. A luxurious<br />

penthouse apartment was considered<br />

the gold standard for an upper class life.<br />

Today, penthouse apartments can be<br />

found all over the world from Hong<br />

Kong, to London, to Los Angeles, and<br />

to most major cities around the world.<br />

The owners of the most luxurious<br />

penthouses are well-known names such<br />

as Donald Trump, or singer Jennifer<br />

Lopez. For the past one hundred years,<br />

the demand for luxurious penthouses<br />

has never ceased, and the standards<br />

are getting higher when it comes to<br />

extravagant penthouses that can provide<br />

their residents the ultimate in comfort<br />

and convenience.<br />

To own a penthouse with the<br />

most luxurious of features,<br />

buyers often have to spend<br />

tremendous amounts of<br />

money to purchase them. The<br />

cost of a city penthouse could<br />

be up to hundreds of millions<br />

of US dollars.<br />

Located on the top floor of the<br />

Odeon Tower in Monaco is the<br />

Million Sky Penthouse, which has<br />

5 floors over a space of 3,000m 2<br />

is currently the world's most<br />

expensive penthouse, and is valued<br />

at 387 million USD. The penthouse<br />

features 5 bedrooms on all 5 levels, a<br />

ballroom on an entire floor, and two<br />

swimming pools on two different<br />

floors connected by a water slide.<br />

From the penthouse's gorgeous<br />

rooftop, you can enjoy amazing<br />

views of the French Riviera.<br />

Another penthouse located on<br />

the top floor of 220 Central Park<br />

South in New York City is worth<br />

250 million USD, which includes 4<br />

floors and 5 balconies overlooking<br />

the stunning Central Park. With 16<br />

bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, this<br />

apartment has so much space that<br />

you will have a hard time choosing<br />

where to sleep or relax.<br />

As expensive as these penthouses<br />

can be, they are much sought after<br />

by the most wealthy since they can<br />

provide not only an extravagant<br />

living space with elements from<br />

nature, but also an unique location<br />

high up in the sky, and above noisy<br />

and crowded urban life where<br />

owners can enjoy breathtaking views<br />

of the world below them.<br />

The number of penthouses is,<br />

however, rather low since not all<br />

high-rise buildings can be built<br />

with a penthouse on top. This<br />

scarcity makes penthouses the most<br />

expensive apartments in the market,<br />

and forces those who want to own<br />

them into a fierce race.<br />

Penthouses have always reflected<br />

the status, style, and wealth of the<br />

super-rich.<br />

A day is probably all you need to explore all of Denmark's capital.<br />

Let us follow the steps of travel blogger Ly Thanh Co on a<br />

beautiful sunny day to visit Copenhagen's most popular attrations<br />

and less frequented places around the city.<br />

ExploRE NyhavN, thE film<br />

loCatioN of "thE DaNish GiRl"<br />

it is easy to recognize the<br />

stunning backdrops of<br />

Nyhavn from the Oscarwinning<br />

movie "The Danish<br />

Girl". Nyhavn, which means<br />

"New Harbor" in Danish, is<br />

one of the most iconic places<br />

in Copenhagen, and was once<br />

known for its maritime life.<br />

The historic habor is lined with<br />

brightly colored townhouses on<br />

the northern side or "sunny side"<br />

featuring numerous restaurants,<br />

beer taverns, and even strip clubs,<br />

while the southern side or "shady<br />

side" is filled with tourism offices<br />

and bicycle rental shops.<br />

The Nyhavn Bridge links the<br />

"sunny side" to the "shady side",<br />

and crosses the Nyhavn Canal.<br />

Much like the Pont des Arts in<br />

Paris, this is the place where<br />

lovey-dovey couples come to<br />

profess their love for one another<br />

by leaving a love lock on the<br />

bridge. If you travel alone, grab an<br />

ice cream and enjoy the habor's<br />

picturesque setting on the sunny<br />

side, as food sometimes can be<br />

your best travel companion!<br />

Smørrebrød is one of the most<br />

delicious Nordic specialties<br />

I have tried during my trip.<br />

Originally a Danish farmer's<br />

lunch, Smørrebrød gradually<br />

became a popular national dish<br />

in Denmark. The food is an<br />

open sandwich that consists of a<br />

slice of buttered rye bread, and<br />

a topping of fish or meat, and<br />

vegetables with sauces drizzled<br />

on top. Personally, I find its taste<br />

a little bland, but the freshness<br />

of the seafood more than makes<br />

up for it. Smørrebrød can be a<br />

perfect dish to cure your hunger<br />

when you have been out walking<br />

all morning!<br />

You can find this amazing dish<br />

almost anywhere in Copenhagen.<br />

I had mine at the Hallernes<br />

Smørrebrød, a specialty shop<br />

for Smørrebrød. The price for<br />

a serving of Smørrebrød is<br />

around 95 DKK (356,000 VND)<br />

depending on the toppings of<br />

your choice.<br />

i did not intend to do any shopping, so i decided to take a stroll around the area,<br />

WiNDoW shoppiNG iN stRØGEt<br />

Strøget is considered the largest<br />

shopping street in Copenhagen,<br />

and is popular with both locals<br />

and visitors alike. I did not<br />

intend to do any shopping, so I<br />

decided to take a stroll around<br />

the area, which I enjoyed<br />

immensely since Strøget offers<br />

you the most astounding of<br />

Danish architecture.<br />

RuNDEtaaRN<br />

The Rundetaarn (Round Tower in<br />

English) is a tower located in the<br />

heart of Copenhagen that dates<br />

back to the 17 th century. Originally<br />

built as an astronomical<br />

observatory by Christian IV,<br />

the most notable feature about<br />

Rundetaarn is that instead of<br />

stairs, it uses a spiral ramp to<br />

allow a horse and carriage to<br />

reach the top of the tower.<br />

GET THERE<br />

ñ Many airlines provide connecting flights<br />

to Copenhagen. It is quite easy to fly to<br />

Copenhagen since this the most popular<br />

tourist destination in Europe. Return tickets<br />

from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi cost<br />

around 15 million to 20 million VND,<br />

depending on which season you travel, and<br />

are more expensive in summer.<br />

GET AROUND<br />

ñ You can take the city's buses and metro.<br />

A 24-hour metro pass costs 150 DKK<br />

(566,000 VND), and can be purchased at<br />

the central station. A fine of 750 DKK (2.8<br />

million VND) is issued if you don't travel<br />

with a pass.<br />

<br />

which i enjoyed immensely since strøget offers you the most astounding of Danish architecture<br />

ñ You can download the DOT<br />

Mobilbilletter app on App Store or<br />

Google Play to buy mobile tickets for<br />

short journeys, if you are nowhere<br />

near the central station in Copenhagen.<br />

Have your credit card ready for the<br />

purchase.<br />

ñ You can buy a 24-hour Copenhagen<br />

Card (59 euro), which allows you to<br />

travel on all transportation means, and<br />

visit more than 80 attractions in the<br />

city for free. A 72-hour Card (89 euro)<br />

is recommended if you want to have<br />

more time visiting the attractions.<br />

ñ You can also hire a bike to explore<br />

this beautiful city for 74.50 DKK a day.<br />

he Rundetaarn is, today, the highest standing point in Copenhagen<br />

that offers expansive views of the city below. A good time to visit the<br />

tower is in late afternoon, when you can admire the city view and<br />

watch the sunset at the same time.<br />

visit loCal maRkEt toRvEhallERNE<br />

orvehallerne is an exciting local market in Copenhagen that you<br />

must visit. The market is filled with mostly locals instead of tourists,<br />

and is where you can truly experience the culinary and shopping<br />

style of the Danish people. I would not have discovered this<br />

amazing market, if not for my friend who has lived in Denmark for 10 years.<br />

Traveles like riding<br />

bicycles in Copenhagen.<br />

Torvehallerne has two main halls that specialize in different types of<br />

fresh groceries, small restaurants, take out places, and a huge open<br />

area to meet the diverse needs of its visitors. Visit the market's gourmet<br />

dining area to taste the most exquisite international and Danish<br />

specialties. You can also buy amazing Danish chocolate and spices here.<br />

Summer Bird is a famous organic chocolate brand in Denmark, and is a<br />

must try for all who visit.<br />

WatCh thE Rush houRs iN CopENhaGEN<br />

Copenhagen is widely known as a bicycle heaven, and watching the<br />

bikes at rush hours is an unique experience that you will not find<br />

elsewhere.<br />

Bicycles in Copenhagen have always been the dominant from of<br />

transportation, and are a remarkable highlight of the cityscape. The<br />

city of Copenhagen is known to provide all kinds of efficient cycling<br />

infrastructure to ensure their cyclists are happy, making Copenhagen<br />

one of the most bicycle friendly cities in the world.<br />

Every day, people in Copenhagen ride a total distance of 1.2 million km<br />

with 36% of the cycling distance is to work, schools, or colleges.<br />

At rush hours, you will not find the annoying sound of cars honk, but<br />

the swift rolling sound of the wheels that pass by, or the soft "ting ting"<br />

sound from bikes to warn pedestrians.<br />

CURRENCY<br />

ñ The Krone is the official<br />

currency of Denmark. 1 DKK =<br />

3,700 VND. If only staying for<br />

a short time, swiping cards is<br />

recommended since everything<br />

can be purchased by card in<br />

Denmark. The exchange rate will<br />

be lower if you use a national<br />

bank. Just be sure to let your<br />

bank know that you'll be travelling<br />

abroad or else they might freeze<br />

your account thinking someone<br />

has stolen your card.<br />

VISA<br />

ñ You can apply for a Schengen<br />

visa which allows you to enter 26<br />

Schengen countries. Information<br />

on the visa application you can<br />

find at the Danish Consulate. Do<br />

try to combine other destinations<br />

such as Norway, Sweden, or<br />

Germany in your itinerary.<br />

EXPENSE<br />

ñ Denmark and especially<br />

Copenhagen are relatively<br />

expensive. Your hotel<br />

accommodation can cost 1.2<br />

million - 1.5 million VND a<br />

night, meals 1 million a day,<br />

transportaion 566,000 VND a day<br />

for the 24h metro pass, making a<br />

total expense of 3 million VND a<br />

day. Admission to most attractions<br />

in Copenhagen however are<br />

free, unless you want to book a<br />

day tour.<br />

TRIP DURATION<br />

ñ Copenhagen is not a particular<br />

large city, but to make the most<br />

of your time, you should spend at<br />

least 3 days to truly experience<br />

the amazing capital.<br />

TIME TO TRAVEL<br />

ñ The best season to visit<br />

Copenhagen is in spring and<br />

summer. The average temperature<br />

ranges from 10-15 degrees, and<br />

at their highest is 25 degrees in<br />

the summer. April, May, and June<br />

are the best times to explore<br />

Copenhagen, but the city will be<br />

filled with tourists. If you prefer<br />

a quieter Copenhagen, and are<br />

not afraid of colder temperatures,<br />

February and March are ideal<br />

times to travel.<br />

MUST-TRY TOURS<br />

ñ The Canal Tours' Grand Tour<br />

Copenhagen is a wonderul way<br />

of seeing Copenhagen, where<br />

you get to experience the<br />

idyllic harbors, and canals of the<br />

city. The tour is free if you have<br />

destination Text and photos: Tam Bui<br />

Following the story about the commorant fisherman on the Li River (China),<br />

travel blogger Tam Bui is back to share with us another journey of his, this<br />

time to the land of the Pharaohs, and a beautiful oasis town called Siwa,<br />

home to one of north Africa's ethnic group, the Berbers.


As part of our 21-day journey in<br />

Egypt, we spent three days to explore<br />

the remote town of Siwa. Buses were<br />

our only mean of transportation, and<br />

it took us over 11 hours to cross a<br />

stretch of nearly 600 km from Cairo<br />

to reach the oasis.<br />

Siwa is located in the heart of<br />

Egypt's Western Desert, away from<br />

urbanization. In the past, making<br />

it across the desert required one<br />

to travel in groups, carry a lot of<br />

food, and drinking water, and<br />

strictly follow the guide since a<br />

simple mishap could easily lead<br />

to the death of members. Groups<br />

traveling as such would sometimes<br />

encounter thieves, get robbed, or<br />

worst, be killed. Now, all you have<br />

to do is simply buy a bus ticket.<br />

The oasis borders Libya to the west,<br />

and the Mediterranean Sea to the<br />

north. We arrived in Siwa when<br />

the dawn was just about to break. A<br />

carriage was hired to get us to the<br />

hotel, where we immediately took a<br />

nap after our long and exhausting<br />

bus ride. We got up at noon to have<br />

some lunch before heading out to<br />

the streets with our cameras.<br />

visit the 700<br />

year-old fortress<br />

We climbed to the highest point<br />

of Shali Fortress to admire the<br />

breathtaking views of Siwa at sunset.<br />

The oasis is surrounded by layers<br />

and layers of date palms, and it is<br />

easy to find ripe dates everywhere<br />

on the ground. Date palms may look<br />

similar to oil palms, but their leaves<br />

are thinner. Date fruits grow in<br />

groups like the areca nuts, but they<br />

are smaller in size and darkened<br />

when ripe with soft, tender flesh and<br />

a syrupy flavor.<br />

It became a fun thing for us to try to<br />

pick up dates from the ground right<br />

in front of our hotel room to eat.<br />

Considered truly magnificent ruins<br />

that all must visit in Siwa, the ancient<br />

Shali Fortress's buildings were built in<br />

the 13 th century using a salt and mud<br />

mixture taken from a lake nearby.<br />

The only reason why they remain<br />

for so long is due to the fact that the<br />

desert almost never rains. It took us<br />

about 20 minutes to reach the top<br />

of the fort. To have a better view of<br />

Shali though, we decided to climb up<br />

a hill about 2km away. The fortress<br />

looked absolutely stunning in the soft<br />

afternoon light. Some structures still<br />

remain inhabited, or have been turned<br />

into souvenir shops.<br />

Despite its remote location in the<br />

desert, Siwa Oasis is full of life<br />

thanks to its copious supply water by<br />

underground springs. How amazing<br />

is that? Our Egyptian guide took us<br />

to a spring which provided water<br />

spillling of the ground. Locals often<br />

gather here for a nice and relaxing<br />

bath in the afternoon. Near the<br />

springs are crops planted by the<br />

Berbers, which have been their main<br />

source of food for centuries.<br />

experience a nomadic life<br />

in the desert<br />

We booked a 4WD car and a driver<br />

from the hotel to take us around<br />

the desert, and catch the incredible<br />

sunset. The sun was bright red<br />

when it sank deep into huge sand<br />

dunes. We slept in a desert tourist<br />

camp that night. The evening<br />

temperature dropped drastically down<br />

to 7-8 degrees Celsius. With hungry<br />

stomachs, we sat by the fire to keep<br />

warm, while waiting for our chicken<br />

to be roasted in a very special way.<br />

The chicken was put into a large tin<br />

with a lid, then covered, and buried in<br />

the sand. A large fire was placed right<br />

above the tin to cook the chicken<br />

inside. The smell of the chicken was<br />

absolutely mouth-watering since we<br />

were all cold and hungry. It was a<br />

truly unforgettable meal.<br />

The desert's night sky was stunningly<br />

clear, and the stars shined bright.<br />

We put on some warm clothes, and<br />

climbed up a nearby hill to try to<br />

catch a glimpse of the milky way. Out<br />

of nowhere, a fox showed up, and<br />

seemed rather curious about us! I<br />

was a little scary, so I tried to reach a<br />

higher ground. The curious creature<br />

immdediately ran away. When we<br />

got up in the morning, we saw their<br />

footprints everywhere around our<br />

tent.<br />

Our camp consists of about 10<br />

small tents, set up into a rectangle.<br />

The largest tents can accommodate<br />

up to 15 people, whereas the small<br />

ones only had space for 4-5 people.<br />

Blankets and pillows are provided, as<br />

well as thick sleeping bags to help us<br />

fight the evening temperature. Since<br />

electricity was out of the question,<br />

torches were used instead. A large fire<br />

was set up in the middle the camp<br />

ground to keep us warm throughout<br />

the night.<br />

We were reliving the stories told in<br />

"One Thousand and One Nights"<br />

it seemed. It felt incredible to be<br />

sleeping in a tent in the middle of<br />

the desert under the starry night sky,<br />

while listening to ancient Arabian<br />

stories. The experience is a must-try<br />

for all who visit Egypt.<br />

GET THERE<br />

ñ From Ho Chi Minh City, you have to transit in<br />

Abu Dhabi before boarding a connecting flight to<br />

Cairo. A number of airlines can fly you to Cairo,<br />

but Etihad seems to offer the lowest price. Booking<br />

in advance can get you 850 USD for a round-trip<br />

ticket. From Cairo to Siwa, night buses are available,<br />

but the journey takes 11 hours, and is arduous.<br />

VISA<br />

ñ The visa application process is simple, but is only<br />

available in Hanoi. If you live in Ho Chi Minh City,<br />

choose a visa service in Hanoi to save time and<br />

travel expenses. The visa fee is 30 USD/person.<br />

EXPERIENCE<br />

ñ A must-try experience for all visitors to Siwa is<br />

to camp overnight in the desert. The camp is run<br />

by an Egyptian travel company. Ask your hotel<br />

for more information. The fee is around 45 USD<br />

per person for one night in the desert. Pick up is<br />

availabe at the hotel. A one-night stay is sufficient<br />

since there are not a whole lot of things for you<br />

to do, except making fire, eating roast chicken, and<br />

watching the stars.<br />

FOOD<br />

ñ Egyptian food may present a challenge for<br />

Vietnamese. We often headed to small restaurants<br />

that are packed with westerners in hope of finding<br />

dishes with an international flavor, and are not too<br />

local, so that we could try the food.<br />

EXPENSES<br />

ñ Our group spent 21 days in Egypt. The total<br />

cost of which, including meals, transportation,<br />

sightseeing, and accommodation, was 45 million<br />

VND per person. On average, one spends about<br />

2.1 million VND a day.<br />

ESSAOUIRA<br />

MOROCCO'S UNIQUE BEACH CITY<br />

Prior to my trip to Morocco, the only thing I knew about this north<br />

African country was through the popular song Casablanca during my<br />

youth, and the image of colorful Arabian carpets in the old stories. It<br />

turns out that this beautiful port city offered me a much deeper insight<br />

into Moroccan culture and way of life.<br />

4<br />

TRAVELLIVE


VISA<br />

ñ You can apply for a visa at the<br />

Embassy of Morocco at 9 Chu<br />

Van An, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi.<br />

The Embassy will issue a single<br />

entry visa for your intended<br />

travel dates to Morocco. The<br />

visa application fee is 508,000<br />

VND per person.<br />

GET THERE<br />

ñ From Vietnam, you can fly to<br />

Morocco on Turkish Airlines,<br />

Qatar Airways, or Emirates<br />

Airways at a price ranging from<br />

800 - 1,300 USD for a return<br />

trip. Flights often transit in<br />

Istanbul, Doha, or Abu Dhabi<br />

before landing in Casablanca,<br />

Morocco's largest city. From<br />

here, you can take a bus or train<br />

to Essaouira.<br />

RELIGION<br />

ñ Morocco is a Muslim country,<br />

so keep that in mind when<br />

traveling to Morocco. You<br />

should not use your left hand to<br />

do anything in public because<br />

it is offensive to local people<br />

since the left hand is considered<br />

unclean. Moroccans do not like<br />

their pictures taken, especially<br />

women and older people,<br />

so permission is required<br />

before you take any pictures<br />

of them. Most of the mosques<br />

in Morocco prohibit foreign<br />

tourists from entering, so stand<br />

outside.<br />

THE WORLD'S FIRST<br />

SARDINES PORT<br />

Essaouira was one of the world's<br />

first sardine ports discovered in the<br />

16 th century by the Portugese, and<br />

is formerly known as Mogador.<br />

Since its opening, Essaouira rapidly<br />

became a major international<br />

seaport, linking Morocco and the<br />

Sahara with Europe and the rest of<br />

the world. Once a fishing village,<br />

Essaouira was later built into the<br />

city we know today by Emperor<br />

Mohammed III in the 18 th century<br />

and featured a large harbor, making<br />

it an important commercial hub<br />

connecting the nation to the then<br />

powerful European countries.<br />

You could easily catch a glimpse of<br />

the fish market's bustling scene,<br />

and hear the sound of boats making<br />

their way in the early morning. When<br />

dawn breaks, groups of large boats<br />

arrive at the port, and are full of<br />

freshly caught sardines. A fish market<br />

is set up right on the stretch of the<br />

sandy beach next to the harbor. It was<br />

exciting to join in with the locals for<br />

such an amazing experience.<br />

The higher the sun is, the more<br />

crowded the port gets. Hundreds of<br />

people were spotted around piles of<br />

fresh fish of all kinds, whose jobs<br />

were to identify, weigh, preliminarily<br />

process, and load them onto the<br />

trucks that carry them to wholesale<br />

markets across the city, just in time<br />

for the locals' morning markets.<br />

Many seagulls could be spotted in<br />

the sky flying around the harbor,<br />

creating a truly picturesque sight for<br />

visitors. Be careful when holding a<br />

sardine in your hands since these<br />

aggressive birds can quickly snatch<br />

them from you!<br />

LOST STEP IN THE<br />

“LABYRINTH” MEDINA<br />

Medina is what the old quarters in<br />

Morocco and other north African<br />

nations are called, and Essaouira's<br />

Medina is a truly spectacular world<br />

full of colors. The Medina here, like<br />

most, is surrounded by a long wall,<br />

though this one is made of red desert<br />

stone, and is a striking characteristic<br />

of Medinas in Essaoiura.<br />

To explore the "maze" of local<br />

Medinas, I enjoyed my slow walks<br />

around town to admire the ancient<br />

architecture of Essaouira. From<br />

narrow streets with no names<br />

to street signs with long Arabic<br />

characters, Essaouira's beauty is<br />

so captivating that the more you<br />

explore, the longer you want to stay.<br />

After wandering the streets, I visited<br />

a number of colorful stalls that sell<br />

handmade items. Sometimes you<br />

can catch the probing glances of the<br />

locals as they watch tourists.<br />

TRAVELLIVE


I FIND THE MEDINA TO HAVE A STRONG<br />

RESEMBLANCE TO KALEIDOSCOPE LENSES, WHERE<br />

EVERY TURN PRESENTS A DIFFERENT PICTURE WITH<br />

NO PICTURE EVER BEING THE SAME. SPREAD OUT<br />

BEFORE MY EYES WAS ALWAYS A COMPLETELY NEW<br />

SCENE, DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS.<br />

About a dozen steps away from<br />

the small and quiet alleys with<br />

exceptionally high walls on both<br />

sides, I was immediately greeted<br />

with hundreds of colorful items<br />

sold at different souks - Essaouira's<br />

traditional markets. The stalls there<br />

offer a wide variety of goods from<br />

traditional Moroccan handicrafts<br />

such as ceramics, elaborate tapestries,<br />

and silver-plated tea cups, as well<br />

as popular souvenir items such as<br />

t-shirts and bags printed with unique<br />

Moroccan images. I find the Medina<br />

to have a strong resemblance to<br />

kaleidoscope lenses, where every turn<br />

presents a different picture with no<br />

picture ever being the same. Spread<br />

out before my eyes was always a<br />

completely new scene, different from<br />

the previous.<br />

At the center of the Medina, where<br />

most tourists would love to visit<br />

at least once, is the Place Moulay<br />

Hassan. During the day, this beautiful<br />

square is filled with huge white and<br />

blue umbrellas that cover a number<br />

of fresh fruits, drinks, and souvenir<br />

stalls, which prove to be a popular<br />

attraction for both tourists and locals<br />

alike. I visited a small stall to savor the<br />

delicous Tajine, and enjoy the bustling<br />

scene of the square while watching the<br />

street performers put on their shows.<br />

Tajine is a dish you can order<br />

anywhere in Essaouira, from luxury<br />

restaurants to cheap food stalls hidden<br />

away in quiet alleys. This miraculous<br />

dish is a stew cooked on low heat, and<br />

named for its unique cookware, which<br />

is a large terracotta pot with a conical<br />

lid. Thanks to this special shape, any<br />

food cooked in the Tajine is always<br />

soft and tender, soaked with flavorful<br />

spices, to create the most delicious<br />

dishes without the meat being dried<br />

out or becoming too tough. The taste<br />

of tajine is one so luscious and savory<br />

you'll probably not even notice how<br />

healthy the food is as well.<br />

LIVE SLOW AND ENJOY<br />

FRAGRANT MINT TEA<br />

When you have spent most of your<br />

time to travel from one place to<br />

another, spending the remainder<br />

of your journey at a local home in<br />

Essaouira is a great way to unwind.<br />

My hotel owner's friend invited me<br />

to her home, and welcomed me<br />

with a traditional ritual. She made<br />

me a silver tea pot filled with hot<br />

traditional Moroccan Touareg tea,<br />

which consists of green tea, fresh mint<br />

leaves, and sugar. For Moroccans, tea<br />

is considered a precious drink since<br />

Muslim men are not allowed to drink<br />

alcohol. It can be seen in almost all<br />

corners of social life in the country,<br />

similar to Vietnam in some ways. The<br />

elaborate pouring method though<br />

is one of the many key differences<br />

between this African nation's and<br />

Vietnam's tea drinking habits.<br />

Sunsets in Essaouira are magical<br />

scenes that entice visitors to keep<br />

coming back. Any places you visit in<br />

Morocco, you will find Medina, mint<br />

tea, souk markets, and mosques, but<br />

the beauty of Essaouira is unique and<br />

unmistakable.<br />

ACCOMMODATION<br />

ñ Essaouira offers affordable<br />

accommodation at a number of<br />

hostels and hotels which costs<br />

an average of 20-50 USD per<br />

night. Try to stay at a Riad - a<br />

traditional Islamic style house,<br />

formerly a house, but upgraded<br />

to a hotel for tourists.<br />

EVENTS<br />

ñ Essaouira is famous for its<br />

world music festivals that<br />

take place from April to June<br />

annually, attracting a large<br />

number of tourists. You should<br />

not miss them if you visit<br />

Essaouira during this festive<br />

period.<br />

TRAVEL EXPENSES<br />

ñ A 6-day trip to Morocco<br />

from Ho Chi Minh City costs<br />

about 3,000 USD per person,<br />

including airfare, meals, and<br />

accommodation.<br />

OTHER NOTES<br />

ñ While Morocco is a<br />

modernizing nation, there are<br />

still some vestiges of tradition<br />

that permeate the culture.<br />

One such example is that the<br />

nation is still highly patriarchal.<br />

That said, culturally sensitive<br />

dressing is advisable. Knees and<br />

shoulders should be covered<br />

(this protects from sunburn<br />

anyway), body-con and cleavage<br />

are discouraged, and of course<br />

a woman attracts less attention<br />

when travelling with a man.<br />

ñ Hydration when travelling is<br />

key, especially in arid regions.<br />

Clean safe water is readily<br />

available in Morocco, take<br />

advantage of this. This cannot<br />

be overstated.<br />

SAIGON<br />

in my memories<br />

Saigon, with all of its classic beauty and hidden charm, is seen<br />

differently via the lens of French photographer Pierre Semere who<br />

has a destiny in Vietnam, his recent second home.<br />

TRAVELLIVE<br />

91


One might have a nostalgic<br />

feeling of turning back the<br />

time to the French Indochina<br />

or some would remind<br />

themselves of the Subsidy<br />

Phase of Vietnam after the<br />

reunification day<br />

Anyone who loves the Saigon of days<br />

past would certainly know those<br />

antique buildings, witnesses of time<br />

and history, at the corners of Dong<br />

Khoi, Ly Tu Trong and Nguyen<br />

Hue streets in the city's downtown<br />

area. Recently, a new spirit has<br />

been infused into these structures<br />

since many trendy fashion stores,<br />

coffee shops and eateries have been<br />

established inside the aged buildings<br />

which has helped bring a joyful and<br />

modern scene to the local people and,<br />

at the same time, giving a unique<br />

impression to international visitors.<br />

92<br />

OLD SPIRIT NEW LOOK<br />

Visitors who have a chance<br />

to pass by a heritage<br />

building at the corner<br />

of Dong Khoi and Ly Tu<br />

Wrong streets or an old condo near<br />

the corner of Dong Khoi Street and<br />

Lam Son Square in District 1 might<br />

find it interesting to see a long<br />

alley transforming into mobile art<br />

galleries with all kinds of paintings<br />

and a myriad of shades and colours.<br />

The distance between the past and<br />

the present seems to lessen when<br />

people start to advance up the stairs.<br />

There are sounds of a variety of<br />

footwear on all the floors, voices of<br />

people from different nationalities,<br />

and lyrics and melodies of some<br />

trendy songs punctuated by soft<br />

squeaks of wooden doors to fashion<br />

stores, coffee shops, restaurants,<br />

and spas.<br />

After climbing up each floor, visitors<br />

can pause to rest while leisurely<br />

looking at all the tiny cute banners<br />

TRAVELLIVE<br />

which are set up along the aisle, on<br />

the walls and the balconies. Those<br />

who are hungry can try classic<br />

Vietnamese family fare or Japanese<br />

rice served with fresh fruits and<br />

vegetables and sashimi. Others who<br />

wish to find a peaceful place for<br />

talking, can try cakes and drinks at<br />

a western style tea room. Visitors<br />

can also enjoy coffee and watch the<br />

bustling city life near the balcony.<br />

Or, for some nostalgic moments,<br />

one can hide themselves at any<br />

stair's corner or lean on a balcony to<br />

admire an old Saigon from a humble<br />

view compared to some nearby fancy<br />

high buildings rising in the sky.<br />

Foreign travelers to Saigon should<br />

also book an apartment or room<br />

inside those antique buildings to<br />

have a true experience of Saigon,<br />

which is so familiar yet new to<br />

those already familiar with the city,<br />

and with a twist of old and modern<br />

characteristics of course. Hosts<br />

of these Airbnb spaces have well<br />

organised modern equipments with<br />

minimal interior decoration items<br />

which remind one of Saigon back<br />

in the 60s. A French friend of mine<br />

who spent his vacation to enjoy Tet<br />

(Lunar New Year) in Saigonwas<br />

particularly excited to stay in an<br />

old-style apartment in the city. He<br />

explained that the whole of Saigon<br />

seems to be combined in a tiny place<br />

with sounds of all the vehicles, and<br />

human voices, as well as through<br />

the colors of bricks, tiles and roofs<br />

of houses, and sometimes simply<br />

by the sight of a simple pair of


citylifestyle<br />

chopsticks, and ceramic bowls in<br />

the kitchen.<br />

PRESERVATION FOR FUTURE<br />

I have asked myself about the future<br />

of those antique constructions at<br />

the corner of Dong Khoi, Ly Tu<br />

Trong and Nguyen Hue streets<br />

and other spaces at Ton That Dam<br />

and Ngo Duc Ke streets (also in<br />

District 1) and many others which<br />

will all share the same fate: being<br />

demolished to give spaces for new<br />

blocks of houses and buildings.<br />

Nobody knows the date and time but they might have the same feeling<br />

of anxiety and regret for the old Saigon which will soon only exist in<br />

their memory.<br />

Tim Doling, an English scholar who has published numerous books on<br />

Vietnam, especially on the history and architecture of Saigon-Cho Lon, shared<br />

his concern as Saigon's original identity will no longer be there, when all the<br />

old buildings are gone, and all the houses will be town blocks. "Everyone here<br />

as well as people in many countries believe that heritage conservation is the<br />

alternative to development."<br />

The scholar emphasised that if the governments in Britain, Ireland and<br />

America had had a chance to go back, and rewrite history, they wouldn't have<br />

destroyed heritage buildings because "the destruction of heritages for shortterm<br />

profits at the end of the day will cause loss of identity for the cities."<br />

Bridget March, an English artist who had great interest in heritage<br />

preservation during her time living and working in Vietnam for over five years,<br />

shared, "How can people know who you are and what you are, and how can<br />

you get people to understand you if you don't have any photographs of your<br />

family, or memory of your days to school, or your time of being a soldier, a<br />

teacher, or a nurse, and your traveling. You are nobody, absolutely nobody. If<br />

you do the same to the city, or if you knock down all of its history, it becomes<br />

faceless."<br />

The artist also shared, "I think that those heritages have to be preserved for the<br />

sanity and the hearts of future generations. And also, heritage is what tourists<br />

adore. Western visitors are always looking for the history of a place."<br />

"Heritage has to be preserved for the sanity and the hearts of future generations. And also, heritage is<br />

what tourists adore. Western tourists are all looking for the history of a place."<br />

VISIT SCENIC NINH BINH IN RIPENED<br />

RICE SEASON<br />

The Trang An - Tam Coc - Bich Dong scenic<br />

complex of Ninh Binh, which has been featured in<br />

a number of films, becomes more splendid than<br />

ever during the ripened rice season. The region's<br />

ripened rice season usually starts earlier than<br />

other provinces, beginning at the end of May and<br />

early June. If you want to catch a glimpse of the<br />

yellow fields against the lush mountain backdrop,<br />

May is an ideal time for you to visit, just before the<br />

harvest. The scenery during this time of the year<br />

is truly breathtaking.<br />

Travel along the winding scenic Ngo Dong River to<br />

enjoy views of the limestone mountains and beautiful<br />

carpets of yellow rice. When in Trang An, do visit the<br />

amazing film location of the Kong: Skull Island.<br />

GET THERE: Ninh Binh is just 120 km from Hanoi, so you travel<br />

by motorbike or car to explore this beautiful region. From Ninh<br />

Binh City, travel to Tam Coc and stop at Van Lam Wharf to take<br />

a boat along the Ngo Dong River * EAT: Try Yen Mac sping rolls,<br />

crab with lolot leaves, Nho Quan sticky rice with ants' eggs, and<br />

Kim Son fish salad * TIP: You can spend 2 days to explore Ninh<br />

Binh and admire the rice fields.<br />

PICK GRAPES IN PHAN RANG<br />

Another destination for you to visit this May is<br />

Phan Rang, where you can visit the vinyards and<br />

enjoy the ripe grapes. Despite being a dry land<br />

with a scorching climate, Phan Rang is home to<br />

beautiful juicy fruits. Phan Rang grapes can be<br />

found in most supermarkets across the country,<br />

but the finest quality fruits can only be found here<br />

at their source during the harvest season, when the<br />

succculent ripe fruits are freshly picked at the end<br />

of April and early May. This is the time of the year<br />

when the vinyards in Phan Rang produce the most<br />

beautiful-looking grapes.<br />

Come to Phan Rang during the grape harvest season,<br />

you can follow the farmers to the vinyards to pick the<br />

ripe grapes yourselves, and learn how the farmers keep<br />

their grapes fresh and looking perfect until selling.<br />

GET THERE: You can get to Phan Rang by plane, bus, train or<br />

motorbike from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Danang. From Phan<br />

Rang city center, you can take a taxi to visit Ba Moi Vineyard or<br />

pick grapes at the Ca Du Vineyard * EAT: Fresh seafood in Phan<br />

Rang can be purchased at an affordable price. Try "b∏nh xÃo",<br />

"b∏nh c®n" and other delicious street foods.<br />

EXPLORE THE NORTHWEST REGION IN<br />

THE SEASON OF FALLING WATER<br />

May signals the beginning of summer when<br />

the rains start to pour, allowing water to flow<br />

downstream over the region's vast terraced rice<br />

fields, shaking off the brown coat of winter. It is the<br />

time of the year when the seemingly wild, dry fields<br />

begin to sparkle like watery mirrors, creating truly<br />

picturesque landscapes with glistening sunshine<br />

and a clear blue sky full of charm.<br />

The rainy season in the highlands takes place in<br />

May and June, making it the perfect time of the<br />

year for travelers to head up north to capture the<br />

amazing beauty of the highlands, its people, and<br />

their interesting daily lives.<br />

GET THERE: You can travel by bus, train, or motorbike<br />

EAT: Enjoy local cuisine such as "thæng cË" (a traditional dish<br />

made from horse meat and organs), corn wine, and smoked<br />

buffalo meat. For breakfast, try five-color sticky rice and b∏nh<br />

cuËn * TIP: You should spend at least 3 to 5 days to explore<br />

the northwest region.<br />

ADMIRE LATE CHERRy BLOSSOM<br />

SEASON IN jAPAN<br />

If you missed the cherry blossom in March and<br />

April, May is the last chance for you to view<br />

these beautiful flowers. Spring is always the most<br />

anticipated season in Japan thanks to its warm<br />

weather and picturesque scenes. Spring lasts from<br />

March through to the end of May with the cherry<br />

blossoms in full bloom.<br />

Cherry blossoms in Japan are planted almost<br />

everywhere, in parks, on the streets, along the<br />

river, and even in remote villages. The blooming<br />

times, however, vary depending on each region<br />

from north to south. Manga and Ghibli fans must<br />

take this chance to explore Japan, and enjoy the<br />

late cherry blossom season.<br />

GET THERE: From Vietnam, direct and transit flights to Japan are<br />

available * TIP: Enjoy a full experience by having a picnic, eating<br />

sushi and bento, trying the Hanamizake (cherry blossom viewing<br />

sake), and spending at least a week to explore Japan.<br />

VISIT MALDIVES,<br />

THE ISLAND OF LOVE<br />

The Maldives is a South Asian island country<br />

located in the Indian Ocean, southwest of India<br />

and Sri Lanka. The Maldives is famous for<br />

its paradise resorts, and is a stunning dream<br />

honeymoon destinations for couples all over the<br />

world. The best time to visit the Maldives is in<br />

May when the weather is temperate, the sea blue,<br />

the sun not scorching hot, and your experience<br />

the most pleasant. The island is home to one of<br />

the world's most pristine beaches and beautiful<br />

white sand, and is considered "the paradise of all<br />

paradises".<br />

GET THERE: Direct flights are not yet available from Vietnam<br />

to the Maldives. You can fly with Bangkok Airways, SriLankan<br />

Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines, or Tiger Air. Book<br />

your flight tickets in advance, and check out the price, and<br />

time transit with each airline since each airline offers a different<br />

schedule * EAT: Most visitors spend 7 days for a holiday at the<br />

Maldives. You can also travel to Guradhoo, a nearby island, by<br />

boat, stay at the locals' and enjoy fresh seafood for 50 USD/night<br />

including 3 meals a day.<br />

greentravel Text: Bao Khuyen - Photos: Nguyen Xuan Vinh<br />

In addition to a deep passion for photography, Nguyen Xuan Vinh<br />

has always been into traveling. Vietnam offers some of the most<br />

incredible routes that Vinh is proud to have discovered, explored,<br />

and captured in his amazing photographs the beauty of each<br />

destination. Let us take on this journey with him and admire the<br />

most breathtaking sceneries of Vietnam.<br />

Vinh is a member of a group named "ßπp ChÙp" (cycle and shoot), where<br />

their love for cycling and taking photos are combined. The group was<br />

founded Christmas 2013, and Vinh joined the team in July 2014, together<br />

with his team mates promoting green travel and raising awareness for<br />

environmental protection.<br />

A mobile home<br />

ßπp ChÙp is a group that is open to anyone who would like to join. All<br />

you need is a bike. Bicycles can be divided into many different types,<br />

but there are 4 main types in the group: race bikes, mountain bikes, city<br />

bikes, and the most important of all, touring bikes.<br />

If you want to travel by bike over long distances from city to city, it<br />

is essential to get a bike that gives you a smooth ride, and it does not<br />

necessarily have to be an expensive one. A solid touring bike can cost<br />

several tens of millions of dong or several hundred of millions dong. The<br />

key is to pick one that you feel considerably comfortable with.<br />

Besides the bike, you also have to carry along heavy loads, including<br />

cooking ware, food, bike repair kits, back up tubes, first aid kits, tents, and<br />

camping gear, not to mention cameras and flycam euipment. It can be a<br />

pain to prepare so many things, but planning wisely ensures your trips<br />

are the most enjoyable ones.<br />

Vinh shared, "Everyone must<br />

pack for themselves before the<br />

trip. You learn how to be selfsufficient,<br />

and thorough in the<br />

process. Packing is key to your<br />

survival during each trip."<br />

Incredible routes<br />

On a journey from the North to<br />

the South of Vietnam, the group<br />

enjoyed breathtaking sceneries<br />

and had interesting experiences.<br />

What they get back from each trip<br />

were not only beautiful photos<br />

and footages, but also amazing<br />

experiences and unforgettable<br />

memories.<br />

Vinh's first trip was from Saigon to<br />

SÛc Trang, where he cycled along<br />

the coast, and crossed the famous<br />

estuaries of the Mekong Delta<br />

including Cˆa Ti”u, Cˆa ßπi, Cˆa<br />

Ba Lai, Cˆa Hµm Lu´ng, Cˆa CÊ<br />

Chin, Cˆa Cung H«u, Cˆa ßfinh<br />

An, and Cˆa Ba Thæc. Most of the<br />

roads are quite narrow, and only fit<br />

for bicycles and motorcycles.<br />

Detailed plans are neccessary to<br />

make a safe trip, which include<br />

choosing less frequented routes that<br />

offer beautiful scenes, and where<br />

camp sites are available if needed.<br />

Most importantly, these routes need<br />

to allow the group to travel at a slow<br />

pace. The first trip is always a trip<br />

filled with the most memories, and<br />

is often the most unforgettable.<br />

Vinh's second most memorable<br />

trip was to Hµ Giang, which he<br />

undertook September last year, a<br />

trip that Vinh could not contain his<br />

excitement for when mentioning<br />

it. He shared, "We spent our first<br />

night in ßÂng V®n, our second<br />

in LÚng CÛ, and our third in Yn<br />

Minh. For this trip, we split into<br />

several groups with the main<br />

group starting from Saigon to Hµ<br />

Giang, and ended their journey in<br />

the northwest region of Vietnam.<br />

Other groups joined along the way.<br />

Vinh only joined the group in Hµ<br />

Giang, and visited most of the<br />

famous northern spots including<br />

MÃo Vπc, M∑ P◊ LÃng Pass, ßÂng<br />

V®n Stone Plateau, LÚng CÛ, the<br />

home of H'mong King, and the<br />

home where Pao's Story was filmed<br />

in S∂ng Lµ, Yn Minh.<br />

Another trip which was still fresh in<br />

Vinh's mind was a trip that crossed<br />

Kh∏nh L Pass, which is situated<br />

between Nha Trang and Dalat, one<br />

of the steepest passes in the south<br />

of Vietnam.<br />

114<br />

The pass, which is 30 km long<br />

with continuous slopes, sits 50<br />

m above the sea level, and at its<br />

peak, reachs the height of 1,700<br />

m. "Kh∏nh L Pass is a challenge<br />

that most cyclists want to conquer<br />

since the landscapes here are<br />

absolutely stunning." You can find<br />

beautiful waterfalls, as well as lush<br />

mountains along the way. Vinh's<br />

group decided to rest over night in<br />

Dalat, when the local December<br />

temperature dropped down to<br />

10 degrees. It was a remarkable<br />

experience, especially with the<br />

participation of a 10-year-old boy.<br />

Explore the<br />

northwest region<br />

Team ßπp ChÙp takes random<br />

trips, and plans only a few weeks<br />

ahead. The trips are often organized<br />

once a month or once every two<br />

months since most of the team<br />

members have a busy schedule<br />

with work. Besides touring trips,<br />

the team often goes on weekly rides<br />

around the city to keep fit and meet<br />

the team members.<br />

Vinh has cycled through many<br />

provinces from north to south,<br />

but one region he still dreams of<br />

exploring is the northwest. One<br />

particular route that takes you<br />

through Sapa - Yn Minh - MÔ<br />

C®ng Ch∂i - TÛ L÷, Vinh is on his<br />

list to visit in autumn during the<br />

rice harvest season before cycling<br />

to A Pa Ch∂i, the west end point<br />

of Vietnam.<br />

Green travel<br />

Traveling by bicycle is a fantastic<br />

way to combine sports, travel,<br />

leisure, and work. ßπp ChÙp does<br />

not usually spend an entire month<br />

to travel with the trips mostly<br />

taking place on the weekends.<br />

Cycling has been known to<br />

improve one's overal health, which<br />

explains why the team requires<br />

little training before embarking on<br />

each trip.<br />

A great thing about cycling is that<br />

you have control over the pace<br />

that you want to go at. If a team<br />

member gets tired, the whole<br />

team can either slow down or take<br />

more breaks. The average speed<br />

ranges from 15 to 20 km/h with a<br />

10-minute break after each hour<br />

to rest, drink water, and wait for<br />

others to catch up while enjoying<br />

the immense beauty around.<br />

Cycling is definitely not a new<br />

way to travel, but its popularity<br />

is increasing among Vietnamese<br />

travelers who hope to raise


Don't leave anything behind except for you bike<br />

tracks and your image!, is a saying that ßπp ChÙp<br />

members often remind each other.<br />

awareness about both physical and<br />

mental health, as well as promote<br />

Vietnam's ecotourism. The key<br />

thing about cycling is that it is<br />

the only mode of transport that<br />

does not produce emissions into<br />

the environment. "Don't leave<br />

anything behind except for you<br />

bike tracks and your image!" is a<br />

saying that ßπp ChÙp members<br />

often remind each other. Members<br />

are encouraged to not use plastic<br />

straws, and always clean up after<br />

themselves.<br />

Regarding this eco form of traveling,<br />

people are often concerned about<br />

the cost, the time they must spend,<br />

and whether they are fit to go. Vinh<br />

shared, "The key is a resolution to<br />

overcome your own limits. In our<br />

trips, we have had a 10-year-old and<br />

a 70-year-old cyclists. Anyone can<br />

ride a bicycle. The time you spend<br />

riding a bike is pure exercise."<br />

Cycling offers fun, interesting<br />

experiences, and worthy friendships<br />

to all who join. Bicycles are an<br />

inexpensive way to travel. A few<br />

million dong can get you a reasonably<br />

good bike, and a 2-day and 3-night<br />

trip cost only from a few hundreds to<br />

a million dong.<br />

The great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy<br />

once said, "One of the first conditions<br />

of happiness is that the link between<br />

Man and Nature shall not be broken."<br />

We must always cherish and protect<br />

our environment. Vinh's and ßπp<br />

ChÙp's mission is to not only find<br />

enjoyment in the simple pleasure of<br />

cycling, but also leave behind a better<br />

world for future generations.<br />

Cycling is gaining popularity among<br />

Vietnamese travelers who hope to<br />

raise awareness about both physical<br />

and mental health, as well as promote<br />

Vietnam's ecotourism.<br />

TRANSPORT<br />

ñ Bicycles are the main form of transport,<br />

but not everyone can cycle from the south<br />

to the north of Vietnam. Most people join<br />

certain legs from province to province. You<br />

can first travel by bus with your bicycle,<br />

meet other team members at a designated<br />

place, cycle to a planned destination, and<br />

then, come back to where you started.<br />

BIKE MAINTENANCE<br />

ñ Each member must carry a bike repair<br />

kit, and back-up inner tubes. One must<br />

learn the how to repair their bike in the<br />

most basic ways, how to replace the inner<br />

tube for the tires, and pump the tires. For<br />

your own safety and to avoid troubles<br />

during your trip, you should have your bike<br />

maintained before you go.<br />

FOOD<br />

ñ The interesting thing about traveling by<br />

bike is that you sneak your way into the<br />

narrowest corners of a city to try the local<br />

food. If sleeping in a tent, your should bring<br />

packaged foods for added convenience.<br />

Also bring some snacks to eat on the road,<br />

if for some reason, you can't find a place to<br />

stop or eat.<br />

FITNESS LEVEL<br />

ñ Traveling by bike is open to all ages,<br />

genders, and people with any kind of job as<br />

long as you have a passion for cycling and<br />

green travel.<br />

Enjoy summer with<br />

Summer is a season for outdoor travel. Instead of staying at a hotel, sleeping in a<br />

tent offers you a completely different and interesting experience. You can try either<br />

traditional camping (sleeping in a tent) or glamping (glamorous camping) for added<br />

comfort and luxury, all the while enjoy the great outdoors.<br />

TRAVELLIVE 123


to get your kids excited about a trip, try to get them to go camping. it can be an invaluable gift for<br />

the child's memory, and a fantastic way to for family members to spend time together.<br />

The sound of the insects at night<br />

was stunningly clear. To be<br />

sleeping among the vast valley<br />

surrounded by mountains, the<br />

feeling was indescribable. We<br />

were excited and nervous at the<br />

same time. We laid a thick blanket<br />

on the ground for added comfort<br />

before snuggling inside our<br />

sleeping bags. The fact that we had<br />

a long day, plus a little corn wine<br />

at dinner made everyone even<br />

more sleepy. We slept like babies<br />

throughout the night.<br />

SHOULD<br />

ñ Find a safe and convenient location.<br />

ñ Find a clear site where there is sand or dry<br />

ground to set up the tents.<br />

ñ Camp under a tree to block the wind and<br />

reduce heat.<br />

ñ Avoid areas where the ground can get<br />

wet when it rains.<br />

ñ Avoid where it is too windy.<br />

ñ Mark the campsite for all members.<br />

ñ Keep clean, and protect the environment<br />

(it's always best to leave a campsite neater<br />

than you found it).<br />

SHOULD NOT<br />

ñ Stay too deep into the valley, or mountain,<br />

where it is the coldest and wettest.<br />

ñ Camp near areas that animals hunt or<br />

their caves to avoid unwanted night visits.<br />

ñ Steer clear from areas that are prone to<br />

floods and flash floods. Keep a safe distance<br />

from streams, rivers, lakes, and the sea.<br />

ñ Keep food in your tents, as this will attract<br />

animals.<br />

ñ Go unprepared. A little preparation goes a<br />

long way in making a trip a positive one.<br />

Memories of the trip<br />

to the "dinosaur's<br />

backbone" in Ta Xua,<br />

Son La are still fresh in<br />

my mind. It was a long<br />

and arduous journey,<br />

but we took our time to explore the<br />

amazing beauty of Ta Xua. Just<br />

before it got dark, we saw a village<br />

down the valley, and decided to<br />

head toward it in search of a place<br />

to stay. The trail that led us down<br />

was quite narrow and slippery. It<br />

took us a while to get down, but we<br />

were lucky to have found a modest<br />

H'mong family who agreed to<br />

let us stay the night. The white<br />

flowers on the side of the road<br />

were in full bloom, creating a truly<br />

picturesque scene of the Chung<br />

Chieng Village.<br />

The next morning, we found our<br />

host family had risen before us.<br />

The older daughter turned on<br />

the radio, and played a H'mong<br />

love song while the wife was<br />

cooking noodles for the children<br />

to eat before sending them off to<br />

school and tending the buffalo.<br />

We brushed our teeth next to the<br />

buffalo's stall before boiling water<br />

to make ourselves some tea to<br />

enjoy in the misty morning of the<br />

mountain area. Life here was so<br />

serene and peaceful, and we were<br />

glad to simply forget about our<br />

normally hectic lives.<br />

fEEliNG totally alivE<br />

You can easily find campsites<br />

among the flower fields in Ninh<br />

Thuan, the pine forest in Dalat, the<br />

forest in the Central Highland, and<br />

the Bidoup Nui Ba National Park<br />

as well as a number of beaches and<br />

sand dunes around the country.<br />

It is a one-of-a-kind experience<br />

that you will not find when going<br />

on tours. Camping is becoming<br />

a popular trend among young<br />

travelers.<br />

TRAVELLIVE


Minh City shared, "I have been<br />

everywhere, so now all I want is<br />

a simpler travel style that allows<br />

me to enjoy the beauty of nature<br />

at its best. The campsite must<br />

be far away from villages and<br />

has a clear view of either the<br />

mountains, forests, streams,<br />

waterfalls, or fields."<br />

One of Tuan's favorite campsites<br />

is Dalat, a place that allows him<br />

to visit any hills by motorbike to<br />

enjoy the cool fresh air. "I once<br />

set up a tent and stayed for seven<br />

days straight. The weather was<br />

exceptionally good with only<br />

light rain in the afternoons and<br />

cool winds in the evenings. I got<br />

to wake up to a beautiful sea of<br />

clouds every morning."<br />

Thuy Lan, a resident from<br />

Nha Trang, shared that her<br />

most unforgettable camping<br />

experience was on the coast of<br />

Cu Lao Cau, a pristine island<br />

of Binh Thuan Province. She<br />

spent a nervous night in the tent,<br />

unable to sleep with the repetitive<br />

sound of the waves, while<br />

everything around her was pitch<br />

black. Her morning experience<br />

though, more than made up for<br />

the anxiety she felt the previous<br />

night. "It was incredible to watch<br />

a couple practising yoga together<br />

on the beach. Such a romantic<br />

thing to witness. It is wonderful<br />

that they share not only hobbies,<br />

but a love for camping with each<br />

other", shared Thuy Lan.<br />

Camping lovers shared you can<br />

actually get addicted to camping.<br />

Many who do not find the time<br />

to go camping, find a temporary<br />

solution for their hobby by<br />

putting up a tent inside their<br />

house, where they can play<br />

with their children, and have a<br />

memorable and fun experience.<br />

Camping is a great way for a<br />

family to spend time together,<br />

and often make lasting memories<br />

in a child's heart. Nature can<br />

offer you fresh air, breathtaking<br />

landscapes, and a true view of<br />

the wild life, as well as starry<br />

nights that you are unlikely<br />

to find anywhere else. Nature<br />

brings children the most lively<br />

experiences, and allows them to<br />

truly feel the world around them<br />

with their senses. To get your<br />

kids excited about a trip, try to<br />

get them to go camping. It can be<br />

an invaluable gift for the child's<br />

memory, and a fantastic way to<br />

for family members to spend<br />

time together.<br />

GlampiNG foR thosE Who<br />

pREfER ComfoRt<br />

If you want to go camping, but<br />

experience a more luxurious<br />

way of camping that allows you<br />

to sleep in the great outdoors,<br />

and still provides you with the<br />

best of comfort, try glamping - a<br />

style of camping with amenities,<br />

and in some cases, resort-style<br />

services for nature lovers who<br />

are looking to have the most<br />

authentic experience possible,<br />

but in style. Glamping, which<br />

offers a luxurious setting, fine<br />

dining with champagne, and<br />

delicious wine, is becoming<br />

a popular trend among highincome<br />

tourists.<br />

The modern luxury of glamping<br />

allows guests to immerse<br />

themselves in nature without<br />

having to sacrifice creature<br />

comforts. Perhaps you might<br />

want to consider glamping this<br />

summer for a totally different<br />

experience. The luxurious tents<br />

are often decorated in different<br />

themes from bohemian, to gypsy,<br />

to rustic styles. You can enjoy not<br />

only the sound of the ocean, but<br />

also live acoustic music with your<br />

loved one for an unforgettably<br />

romantic experience.<br />

Wine is like the<br />

beauty of a woman whose classiness and<br />

complicated characteristics demands our true<br />

appreciation and respect. Tasting wine often<br />

requires one to to look, swirl, sniff, sip, and<br />

savor it for a full-bodied experience. What<br />

you pair with the wine is just as important<br />

as tasting the wine itself, and, of course,<br />

it also depends on what type of wine you<br />

are having, white wine or red wine. A great<br />

pairing however, can go accordingly to your<br />

own personal preference. Besides wine, salted<br />

cµ ph∏o (white, round, hard eggplants) is a<br />

Vietnamese side dish that I enjoy immensely.<br />

The salty, sour, and a little moderately<br />

pungent taste of cµ ph∏o blends perfectly<br />

with the flavor of dry wine such as<br />

Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonney, and Semillon.<br />

Enjoy the pairing with gifl or ch∂ (Vietnamese<br />

sausages) for a totally amazingunique<br />

culinary experience.<br />

food&beverage<br />

THE HARMONIOUS and rich<br />

flavors of Australian cuisine borrow<br />

from the diverse palates of many<br />

cultures. Australians place a high<br />

importance firstly on the ingredients,<br />

secondly the method of cooking,<br />

thirdly the cook's creation, and lastly,<br />

on the presentation of the dish.<br />

Each dish is meticulously prepared<br />

to create a distinctive taste from<br />

appetizer to dessert.<br />

Australians loves a good brunch in<br />

the English style with damper, an<br />

Australian soda bread made of wheat<br />

flour, and traditionally cooked by<br />

people in the bush on a camp fire.<br />

Damper is eaten across the country,<br />

and is to be enjoyed with jams and tea<br />

or cooked meat. They also like adding<br />

seeds to the bread to create a wide<br />

variety to this much loved bread.<br />

Lamington and pavlova are two not<br />

to be missed desserts in Australia.<br />

With a simple recipe, pavlova is a<br />

meringue-based dessert frequently<br />

served during celebrations and<br />

holiday meals. The dessert is a<br />

summer favorite for Australians, and<br />

is eaten all year round. Lamingtons,<br />

cakes of Australian origin, are made<br />

from squares of butter cake or sponge<br />

cake coated in a layer of chocolate<br />

sauce and rolled in dried coconut.<br />

The dessert is so popular that July 21<br />

is designated as National Lamington<br />

Day in Australia.<br />

Australians prefer to keep the<br />

original flavor of the ingredients,<br />

and therefore they often use the least<br />

amount of spices possible when<br />

cooking to avoid losing their natural<br />

taste. Australian dishes are usually<br />

made moderately in terms of flavor<br />

without being too spicy, too sweet, or<br />

too cooked. One example is the roast<br />

lamb or kangaroo, which is marinated<br />

with only a pinch of salt and pepper.<br />

Steaks are often cooked to medium to<br />

retain the natural flavor of the meat.<br />

Vietnamese spices, including<br />

fermented bean curd, fish sauce,<br />

and honey, have been added into<br />

Australian cuisine to bring a new and<br />

completely exotic flavor to Australian<br />

lamb and beef steaks. This interesting<br />

culinary fusion has been well received<br />

by both countries. "Smoked salmon<br />

and rocket salad", "kangaroo steak in<br />

red wine sauce", and "beef tenderloin<br />

with blue cheese sauce" are the most<br />

commonly known Australian dishes<br />

at culinary events across Vietnam.<br />

"Lamb with fermented bean curd" is<br />

a new creation, well-liked by diners.<br />

Another distinct Australian dish<br />

is bush tucker, a name for any<br />

food native to Australia that uses<br />

ingredients from indigenous plants,<br />

seeds, tomatoes, and plums. The<br />

food is often cooked with game meat,<br />

or sometimes grubs and insects, to<br />

create a strongly unique taste.<br />

Taste of Australia is an annual event<br />

held across Vietnam in April to<br />

celebrate Australian food, beverage,<br />

and cuisine. This month-long event<br />

is a wonderful opportunity for you<br />

to come and experience Australian<br />

culinary delights.<br />

Food is prepared differently in different parts of the world with each nation having their own unique<br />

culinary taste. Australia is a country known for their creative adaptations of cuisine with significant<br />

multicultural influences.<br />
