On these first days of New Year 2016, cheerful melodies of Tet have been played everywhere, marking the arrival of Lunar New Year. Lyrics of old traditional songs have their own power to call back my memories as if I was just a child happily singing the songs with my friends day by day when Tet was coming to town. When I was studying at university, I had two Tet each year, one for patients and the old in social protection centers and one for my family. 15 years ago, my friends and I celebrated Lunar New Year with the old in a nursing home. On receiving our banh chung, an old woman hold my hands tightly, crying and telling me about her family, the time she was far away from home and uncompleted Tet seasons she had. That was the first time after years she had a Tet which was as warm as she wished with the happiness of being remembered as she considered us her grandchildren.

“T’t, T’t, T’t, T’t Æ’n rÂi! T’t, T’t, T’t Æ’n rÂi!

15 years later, my life has changed a lot with work, long business trips and holidays. However, Tet is always the time I want to slow down. It’s the time for family’s happiness and for great memories. Going shopping at Tet markets, making banh chung, cooking delicious dishes, and decorating the peach tree all together help me enjoy Tet. The meanings of Tet never change, yet with more days off, I and my husband will bring our children to somewhere new, then name that new place the first joy of the year. On this occasion, Travellive Magazine would like to express our gratitude to our readers for supporting us through the years. Wish you and your family a happy and lucky year!

HCMC If I have only 24 hours to explore Saigon, I will definitely choose a traditional Vietnamese breakfast, sip a cup of iced coffee with milk, ride an old motorbike around the city, visit the Museum of Art, enjoy an µ Ë show at the City Theater and, after all, complete my day by taking in the beauty of Saigon by night at Liquid Sky Bar. Situated on the 21st floor of Renaissance Riverside Hotel Saigon, the bar is an ideal place offering me great panoramic views of a strange Saigon from the sunset on. A windy evening is the time to savor a glass of cocktail poolside while contemplating the night sky. Fans of Prosecco will surely get excited with Italian sparkling wine from Liquid Gold while Vodka lovers will be mesmerized by an array of cocktails with different signature flavors. Delightful drinks and vibrant music by famous DJs all together make Liquid Sky Bar an impressive space for night parties. Liquid Sky Bar is creatively designed with different spaces: the mezzanine level is the place where you can get away from the bustling Saigon while desks along the swimming pool are for chilling out with friends. Overlooking the east bank of Saigon River, Liquid Sky Bar brings you an interesting journey of music and the art of bartending, inspiring your new itineraries. TRAVELLIVE

DEADPOOL - NEW WIND OF SUPERHEROES Fox will bring the most bizarre allergic people of Marvel back to screens at the beginning of 2016. Fans got more excited when the official trailer with the truly comedy style of Deadpool was released. This film has a special appeal thanks to its interesting "anti-hero" features of the main character. Deadpool's original name is Wade Wilson and is a former test subject of the Weapon X program, possessing a regenerative healing factor and an unstable compiling of other "Weapon X" experiments. Deadpool's powers and personality traits combine to make a wild, mentally unstable, and unpredictable mercenary. Moreover, Deadpool knows he is a comic character and often talks with readers while fighting with his enemies and even acts against the author. Nationwide CGV, Galaxy and BHD cinemas

Ong Lang Beach Situated between the road connecting Duong Dong town and the North of the island, unlike noisy Sao beach, Ong Lang beach keeps its pristine beauty. This serene and clear beach is an ideal place for you to go swimming and bask the gorgeous sunset of Phu Quoc. Visitors can spend hours relaxing under casuarina trees or lying on the beach gazing at the turquoise water and enjoying delicious seafood. There is a creek that joins the sea here, forming a safe area for children to swim in. On the beach, locals lease hammocks, sell BBQs, and chicken and fresh seafood at prices around VND200,000/ kg. You can also buy seafood at markets and grill them over coals.

Phu Quoc National Park Located across the Northeast of the island, Phu Quoc National Park is surrounded by three mountain ranges, namely Ham Ninh, Ham Rong and Ganh Dau. The National Park still maintains the entire primary forest with ancient trees, hills, mountains, streams and waterfalls. To discover the forest, you can park your car near the signage of the park and start walking on a 5-km path through the forest. Walking in the primary forest under strangely shaped foliage, you can take in fresh cool air with the natural scents of wet leaves. Deeper into the forest are thousand-year-old trees with interlaced roots, forest termite nests and myrtle trees laden with fruits. During your journey, you will also listen to the babble of streams or be lucky to see animals such as monkeys, squirrels and reptiles. ©Tran Minh Tan

Rach Vem Beach Located on the northern coast, near Rach Vem hamlet, Ganh Dau commune, and embraced by Ham Rong and Bai Dai Mountain, Rach Vem beach is one of most pristine beaches left on Phu Quoc Island. Not only home to a long, white-sand beach, Rach Vem also boasts the most beautiful coral reef. As it is slightly off the tourist trail, Rach Vem beach is very quiet. Here, you can buy seafood to grill on beach or ask locals to help.

Aside from exploring pristine beaches, you can book an optional tour to explore the island, go fishing and diving to see coral reefs. Caught fish will be served right onboard the ship. During the itinerary, you are allowed to dive to view awesome coral reefs as well as the diversity of marine life near some small islands of An Thoi in the South. Another favorite place is Ong Doi where you can take in the sunrise and sunset in the same position. The last place along the beach is Gieng Ngu (Ngu Well) - a relic of King Gia Long. This fresh water well is located adjacent to the sea but is never salty or dry. Hon Dam, Hon Roi and Hon Mong Tay are also beautiful pristine sites. After a long day traveling, when night falls, it is time for you to enjoy the calm sea and participate in exciting activities such as night squid fishing. What could be better than catching your own squid then giving your fresh squid to the chefs and waiting for your delicious dishes? There are many agencies providing tours for individuals and groups of travelers.

Tet is the most important occasion in the Vietnamese calendar and is a great time for everyone to explore new lands and relax in their favorite destinations. These tips and advice will help you prepare for the holiday and start the year cheerfully. By: Thuy Linh

FIND SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HOUSE PACK LUGGAGE AND SELECT SUITABLE OUTFITS After finalizing the destination you are going to visit, you should choose suitable outfits depending on climate and geographical features of the location. Wide brimmed hat, swimsuit and sunscreen for sunny beaches; warm clothes, thick scarves, gloves and hiking shoes ... when visiting highlands to contemplate the beauty of blooming flowers. If you intend to visit your relatives during your trip, do not forget to wear elegant clothes. Bright colors such as red, yellow and orange will bring you more luck and happiness during the first days of the year. Bring personal documents such as ID cards, passports, and birth certificates for children and keep them safe during the trip. You can also get copies of these documents and keep them separately in case you misplace the originals. To ensure that your holiday will not be interrupted, you should bring some kinds of medicine for common illnesses. If you start your journey on the two first days of Tet, some snacks and drinks will be necessary since restaurants are likely to be closed during these days.

It would be better if you ask your relatives or neighbors to look after your house when your entire family is away. Switch off all electric devices and appliances in the kitchen before leaving. Give your phone number to your neighbor so that they can call you as soon as possible if something comes up.

SEND YOUR PETS TO “HOTELS” Many families spend their Tet holiday visiting faraway destinations with long journeys. However, don’t forget that lovely puppies, cute cats and witty parrots also want to “enjoy the holiday” and need to be cared for. You can ask your friends to find reliable hotels for pets, veterinary clinics and pet centers. Cost, reliability and quality of service are the most important criteria to be considered. Prices will depend on your pets’ weight and needs as well as how “fastidious” they are. Remember to book a place in advance as these “hotels” are often “full” during the holiday period.

PREPARE TRANSPORTATION AND ACCOMMODATION During Tet holiday, there is a dramatic increase in the demand for transportation, air tickets, train tickets and hotels . You had better plan your holiday with details such as times and places. Buy tickets and book hotels in advance to ensure reasonable prices. You can visit ivivu.com and other charismatic comparison websites to enhance your choices. Do not miss chances to enjoy privileges offered by hotels and resorts this season.

We wish you a happy Tet holiday with memorable experiences.

VISIT TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE MARKETS: REMEMBER TO BUY FLOWERS! o matter if I'm travelling around my country or visiting a new land in the world, the very first place I go isn't a landscape, but a market. Nowhere else can give you more real images of locals than in a market. And, of course, shopping at traditional Vietnamese market is always my choice on the first days of the year. Foreigners find it quite weird when realizing that in these markets, there are hundreds of flowers and greens which are just used to ... eat. A friend of mine has shared that culinary culture is a door to the soul of a land. When wandering around Vietnamese markets, I feel our "soul" is so beautiful and harmonious as we eat plenty of flowers and greens. Try it, and after the trip, when looking at a flower or a leaf, you will likely ask yourself whether it is edible or not.

Aside from tasting scrumptious dishes, there is a greater way to explore culinary world: cook a dish as a local do! In any Vietnamese kitchen, you can find so many {toys} such as a plastic tube used for removing water morning glory (spinach)'s leaves, a pig-iron knife or a tool to prepare banana blossom. Surprise yourself by cooking pho (Vietnamese noodles), rolls, beef roll with piper lolot or lotus salad - the dishes that you often admire on newspaper and travel magazines. Especially, try to make goi cuon (translucent fresh spring roll) - one of the 10 most delicious Vietnamese dishes. You only need to roll all ingredients including prawn, pork, vegetables, small spring onion and shallot together inside a girdle cake named banh trang. Fast and yummy! It is also the reason why this dish is favored on special occasions as hostesses do not need spend much time preparing for large meals. If you want to reduce the amount of glucose, then take cabbage, or other leaves to roll with shrimp, meat and all sorts of vegetables. Easy and pleasant! Don't worry if you don't cook well, just }roll} to

the kitchen and enjoy your "work of art"! LEAVES AND FLOWERS: EVERY DISH IS DELICIOUS! Japanese people fry marble leaves to eat, French cook beef with artichoke flower, but no country uses as many kinds of flowers in cooking as Vietnam. In the past, almost all Vietnamese people didn't have enough money to buy white rice and fresh meat, so they used leaves as spices and got flowers and fruits served as side food. Tet was the only time they ate meat and eggs. Pork simmered with eggs became a traditional dish on this celebration. Nowadays, foreign visitors usually "oh" "wow" when noticing Vietnamese people use a dozen kinds of leaves in a meal or stir-fry flower to eat instead of ice cream on hot days.

CUISINE

Apart from the main function of decorating living space, leaves and flowers are great ingredients for Vietnamese people to create signature dishes. TRAVELLIVE

The culinary world is the world of flowers, leaves, fruits, from a variety of spices such as small spring onion, cumin, coriander and perilla to signature dishes.

ietnamese can create hundreds of different dishes with a variety of flowers: pumpkin flowers, banana blossom, sesbania sesban, hyacinth flowers, shallot flowers, loopah flowers, lotus, sadao flowers, fig flowers, telosma cordata and more. In the South of Vietnam, yellow pumpkin flowers are most favored as they are eyecatching and yummy. Once while eating pumpkin flowers stuffed with prawn, my friend was so surprised to find out that to cook this dish, we only select {male} flowers and save {female} ones for the continuance of race. Boiled pumpkin flowers are sweet and the petiole is a little bit tough.

You can explore the art of flowers and leaves in Vietnamese cuisine at: SQUARE ONE Park Hyatt Hotel, 2 Lam Son Square, Dist. 1, HCMC Tel: 08 3520 2359 SI RESTAURANT 7A Ngo Van Nam Str., Dist.1, HCMC Tel: 08 3829 6066 SAIGON COOKING CLASS 74/7 Hai Ba Trung Str., Dist.1, HCMC Tel: 08 3825 8485.

Cuisines made from pumpkin are often served on festive seasons. I love pumpkin flowers stuffed with prawn, which is crispy, aromatic with sweet flavor of prawn. When you get bored with flowers, try grilled beef with piper lolot, fried rice with Ocimum basilicum L. var. pilosum or BBQ chicken with bamboo. Grilled beef with piper lolot is a signature dish. I like sitting somewhere in small lane in the heart of Saigon, chatting with friends and sniffing the smell of fat grilled on a broiling plate on slightly rainy days. After the are grilled, piper lolot leaves still remain green. This kind of leaf makes the dish more flavorsome and prevents beef from being burned when we use coal. Taste it once and you will always be enticed by piper lolot. Grilled beef is more special with piper lolot. Also, piper lolot is good for your health, especially when you get tired because of changing weather. Order some plates of grilled beef with piper lolot and you can refill your energy. If you have a chance to visit Phu Yen Province, the set of {Dear Brother, I see yellow flowers on green grass}, do not forget to experience rice with Ocimum basilicum L. var. pilosum (Vietnamese basil). Strangely aromatic! Don't confuse this kind of leaf with Thai basil as Vietnamese basil is more aromatic. These leaves

are crushed and mixed with rice. To completely enjoy its flavor, fried rice is recommended. For those who have a headache, this dish will help them to release the pain as Vietnamese basil is also a traditional medicine. It's quite weird but if they are planted in sandy soil in the harsh Central of Vietnam, they are more flavorsome than those planted in fertile lands. So, if you want to taste the Central flavor, then buy this kind of leaf to cook with rice or mix with salt. Many international tourists shared that while travelling in Vietnam, the best thing is eating. They can eat a lot without worrying about their weight as there are lots of healthy foods. The culinary world is the world of flowers, leaves, fruits, from a variety of spices such as small spring onion, cumin, coriander and perilla to signature dishes. You are free to bring all kinds of flowers, and even bamboo to your kitchen to cook.

Sometimes, it's not easy to find raw materials to prepare traditional fragrant water. Therefore, Slow living introduces you a more simple formula to bring the Tet smell to your house. Try to mix essential oil as follow:

5ml sandalwood oil - 10ml cypress essential oil - 50ml rose essential oil 15ml pomelo peel oil - 20ml tangerine peel oil (for 100ml "Tet smell") The Tet smell is so sweet and warm with familiar scents of pomelo and tangerine peel with sandalwood and cypress oil, bringing you tranquility in this busy life. Try this "slow living formula" by bathing with a few drops of the mixed oils or burning with candles, letting the smell spread throughout your room. You will have great moments. We wish you an "aromatic" Tet holiday with your own oasis of fragrance!

My mother shares that "bathing in fragrant water on the last day of the year is considered a special custom to wipe out all the bad luck of the previous year and welcome in the luck and happiness of the new year". The most wonderful moments are the times children like me sniff the scent of fragrant coriander combined with the slight smell of pomelo peel, tangerine peel and lemongrass. My Tet memories are stored as these warm and sweet smells. Immersing myself in the sea of work, I travel a lot and have chances to try many premium fragrances from around the world. I seem to forget the scents of childhood then today, I am accidentally reminded about them. After 2 hours flying, I will go back home to find these pure smells. The first place that I'll go to is not my office but my house. I will slow down my life pace, strolling down streets to see the colors of Tet and to sniff the Tet smell releasing from the pot of fragrant water in my house.

Key Color Tones In 2016, the trend of using pantone colors is created with differences for three areas: Americas, Europe and Asia. In America, Uni-Blue takes over the positions of cobalt blue and dark blue. Representing equality and unity, Uni-Blue signifies the connection of people with each other, the space, ideas and memories. In the mean time, Asia, especially in tropical countries, keeps the beauty of nature right in living spaces by using Nature Green and wallpapers with natural patterns. In big cities with high urbanization rates, Nature Green will be a perfect choice to balance the bustling life, harmoniously mixed with natural tranquility. TRAVELLIVE

Decorating your house would be more interesting if you use unparalleled DIY (do it yourself) items. These decorations include things made from zinc and small buttons. Zinc plates are cut in different lengths and wrapped around to form a trunk while colorful buttons are put together on zinc fibers to create trees. Another suggestion is reusing the lights you have used for your Christmas tree. Cut colored papers into parallel pillars, then stick the ends of paper to make a lantern. Attach this lantern to the string lights and you will have new decorations for New Year at a low cost.

From the view of an expat

N OT JUST ABOUT BEAUTY Tet or Lunar New Year is the most important holiday in Vietnam which gets the attention of many foreigners. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see how a Spanish expat whose wife is Vietnamese talks about Tet.

had just been in Vietnam for few months when I started hearing about Tet, Tet holiday and the Lunar New Year. At that time, I was teaching at a university, and as the key dates were approaching, Tet seemed to the most popular subject shared by almost all of my students. Many of them were far from Ho Chi Minh City and what they were looking is not only a break from class but also a great time together with their families. As I had never experienced Tet before, I asked around a lot, to see what the excitement was about, and to know what to expect. And if there is one word that defined it, that word was positive. Without any exception, everyone was very happy about the Lunar New Year, being with the family, and enjoying the overall experience. Tet is definitely the most important holiday in Vietnam, where towns and villages all over the country are the scene of vibrant celebrations. Every street dresses up with beautiful flowers and decorations. Every effort is made to gather all family members, no matter how far away they may be. Together they will bid farewell the old year while welcoming

the new one, hoping that it will bring health, money and success to all. When Tet arrives, knocking on the doors, so do relatives. For many Vietnamese, Tet is the only time of the year when they have a long holiday; hence, they make it possible for all to be together in their hometown with the family and even extended family. If you have never experienced Tet I strongly recommend you do so, if possible with a Vietnamese family, as the experience is fascinating. At that time of the year, the weather tends to be rather hot, and beautiful flowers bloom all over, presenting us with an array of colours and scents. In big cities like Ho Chi Minh City, you can expect beautiful exhibitions, usually themed around the New Year’s character, but as well you can experience exciting flower contests that bring together the best examples from all over the country. For many years Nguyen Hue has been the centre of Tet

celebrations in Saigon, where after weeks of careful preparation, the street is dressed with amazing flower displays, cultural symbols, performances and exhibitions.

Everything starts a few days before the first day of Tet, with a detailed cleaning of the house, “cleaning” the bad luck away, and giving way to the prosperity the New Year will bring. Tet is also time to remember The beauty of flower shows is those who left the family. Food greatly enriched by the many will be offered at the altar for families who bring their children the ancestors. But Tet is not just to enjoy the charm and elegance about beauty, it is about family, of the exhibitions, many of whom tradition and generosity. If you are dressed according to traditional visit a Vietnamese family during Vietnamese customs, sharing this occasion, you will enjoy their happy moments, unlimited generosity. I usually with three or usually spend Tet with BUT TET IS even four generations my wife’s family in Sa NOT JUST together. Tet holiday Dec, a beautiful little ABOUT is also a great occasion BEAUTY, IT town in the Mekong to admire the beauty IS ABOUT delta. From the time I of the many women FAMILY, arrive to when I leave, TRADITION wearing ao dai, the relatives always go the AND traditional Vietnamese extra mile to ensure GENEROSITY. outfit, many of which that I am happy. I have are hand crafted, so plenty to eat and drink; rich and varied that in fact, I’m always spoilt! it is almost impossible to find two women wearing the same. Food is another of the great things that you can enjoy during Tet, as every family will prepare lots of delicious food to share with friends, family and visitors. Many of the dishes are typical of this season, an explosion of variety and flavours. During Tet, the first day is usually dedicated to the family, with lots of eating and drinking going on. On the second day, the house opens to friends and neighbours, while on the third day people mostly go around visiting others. Officially, Tet holiday lasts about three days, however, in some places it can last for weeks, especially in the countryside. If you stay in the big cities, the experience is quite different, as somehow they almost become ghost towns, with millions of people leaving to go back to their hometowns. Most of the businesses close, so if you plan to be in a big (or small) city during Tet, you’d better stock up food, while enjoying driving on the semi-deserted roads. TRAVELLIVE

interview

By: Thuong Tran

Rehahn first came to Hoi An in 2007 and instantly fell in love with this little town. “I’ve been living here for 4 years and can’t imagine going back to France”, the French photographer shared the story about his special predestined relationship with the country and Vietnamese people.

TRAVELLIVE: I would like to start our conversation

by talking about Hoi An, the place where you’ve been living. It’s a typical town with all almost Vietnamese and Asian features. What interesting things have you, a Western guy, found here for 5 years? -- Rehahn Croquevielle: Yes, Hoi An offers me exactly what an artist needs - a peaceful life in a natural environment. It’s probably the most visited city in Vietnam, but it’s also very easy to find a quiet place to focus on my work. People are not running all the time and there are not too many things distracting me! In term of photography, it’s like an open-air studio; yellow walls, a traditional lifestyle, friendly people. It’s a kind of paradise for a photographer! TRAVELLIVE: In the eyes of a photographer, what

time of the day and which season do you like the most in Hoi An?

I would say that mornings are my favorite. At 5am during the early sunrise, the sunlight comes out gradually from the far away sea. The scenery is simply amazing. I live only less than one kilometer away from An Bang beach. So, sunrise or sunset is the perfect time for me to capture nature’s beauty. Also, it is in those times that I get to experience the stillness of Hoi An through the wind’s gentle breeze in the lotus field right in front of my home. I can also hear water running - coming from a few village neighbors watering their vegetables. I live in the area of Tra Que which is famous for growing different kinds of vegetables to support all of Hoi An. That’s why you can find a few shots of this in my photos. All year round we have different kinds of sunlight but my favorite moment is probably during Tet (when it’s not too cloudy!). It is also during

TRAVELLIVE

this time of the year that I see more happy people. Everyone in Hoi An seems to be slowing down a lot with less tourists in the city. People are looking less grumpy and are smiling a lot more at each other. TRAVELLIVE: Your photos of Vietnam are well-known,

they are mainly taken in the North Western upland and central highlands of Vietnam. Are you going to take more photos in the South for the next collection? I have a lot of Vietnamese friends and fans that are from the South. They have asked and some even complained to me (smile) many times that they rarely see any photos of the South of Vietnam. Like I have mentioned, Vietnam still has many colors for me to explore and I am slowly moving southward. I prefer taking my time in each region to extract as much as I can, because I find that every place in Vietnam is rich in culture. I can be in Ha Giang in the North and it is totally different from An Giang in the South, even though both places are in the same country. My project is to explore the entire country and I’ve already started to explore An Giang province. I already took new photos for my 3rd book... however, I prefer to talk more about this project once it is completed. TRAVELLIVE: As far as I know, at the end of 2015, you published

the second part of the photography book called “Vietnam - Mosaic of Contrasts”. Could you kindly share more about this project? And your plans in 2016?

This is a series of books that constitute the mosaic of Vietnam. The country has an ALL YEAR incredible diversity in terms of landscapes and people. I ROUND WE HAVE don’t think that a single book DIFFERENT KINDS can show this diversity. I felt OF SUNLIGHT BUT that the first book was made MY FAVORITE by a photographer who just MOMENT IS discovered the country and PROBABLY this new volume is more DURING TET about remote (WHEN IT’S NOT areas. I’ve met TOO CLOUDY!). IT some ethnic IS ALSO DURING groups of less than 1000 THIS TIME OF people like THE YEAR THAT I the Bo Y or SEE MORE HAPPY Pu Peo... The PEOPLE Vietnamese deserve a series of books consisting of different ethnicities. I am thinking about making at least one other book to show the South and life in the cities. The plan for 2016 is to collect all the ethnic costumes and exhibit

THE COUNTRY HAS AN INCREDIBLE DIVERSITY IN TERMS OF LANDSCAPES AND PEOPLE. THE VIETNAMESE DESERVE A SERIES OF BOOKS CONSISTING OF DIFFERENT ETHNICITIES. (Photographer Rehahn)

them all over the world. The first date will be September 2016 in France. It is a festival visited by 200 000 people every year. I will bring 20 to 25 costumes combined with 40 photos of the country. I want to show that Vietnam is not only 5 or 6 touristic cities but there is so much more to discover. TRAVELLIVE: You travel frequently by motorbike to take photos.

You seem to be a real Vietnamese person now! Do you travel alone or do you get support from locals?

I always travel by motorbike because I like to be free and not a lot of people can be patient enough when I take photos. I like to meet locals and my fans along the way and when I find a good model, I can spend 2 hours with them. Of course, I feel like a Vietnamese person, I speak the language a little bit, I sleep in Nha Nghi, eat in local restaurants... TRAVELLIVE: What do you usually do during Tet holiday? Based

on what you have observed and experienced, what are the differences between Tet and New Year’s in the Western world? Actually, I don’t really celebrate the Western New Year but I like to celebrate Tet when I’m in Vietnam. I have many friends so I’m never alone. But I don’t drink beer, so I avoid parties...

A lot of my Western friends living here, like my family, will also try to blend in and get together to celebrate. Naturally, we don’t follow the exact same traditions or eat the same dishes as the Vietnamese families. To us it is like a post-Christmas celebration. I also spend Tet travelling outside of Vietnam just like many Vietnamese people do since half of the businesses in Hoi An are closed as are my 2 galleries and ice-cream shop! It is like a long break for my family and me. Sincere thanks to photographer Rehahn for spending time with Travellive and sharing these interesting stories. We wish you a merry Tet Holiday!

ndia becomes the endless source of inspiration for her works. Quynh Anh’s images have appeared in many magazines, guidebooks, reports and international organizations’ websites such as Lonely Planet Publications, Cosmopolitan, Yahoo Travel and BBC Travel. They are also chosen to the final round of some international photo contests hold by National Geographic Magazine. After her journeys to Himalayas during 3 years, in January 2016, Quynh Anh introduced her “Himalaya” exhibition, aiming at sharing her experiences and new views of this mysterious land. “Probably, in the previous life, I was born somewhere in Himalayas” she said when being asked why she spent so much time taking photos here. For her, this land features an invisible attractiveness which enchants her to come back right after her first visit. Himalayas have been the inspiration of many films and photos thanks to their mysterious beauty of the majestic nature. On “the roof of the world” with rugged terrain and extreme weather, everything here from stones and grass to people exudes the spiritual beauty of purity.

ONE INTERESTING EUROPEAN TRADITION, WHICH I LIKE MOST, IS SENDING POSTCARDS TO BELOVED FRIENDS AND FAMILY, WHICH SHARE STORIES ABOUT THE SENDER’S JOURNEYS. Text: Trang Ami

Late 2015, a message sent by Ms. Cäline, a teacher in Noirmoutieren-l’Ile (Pays de la Loire, in the West of France), had been shared widely on social networks. The message calls upon everybody from around the world to send postcards of their hometown to the school that she is working for. These postcards will help students at Rocher des Lutins primary school understand more about the world they are living in. Giving an explanation about the campaign, Ms Cäline shares that “Names such as Norway or Japan are very vague concepts to my students. For them, they are just names of certain places. TRAVELLIVE

On special occasions, not only the French but also other European and American people often send postcards to their friends and relatives.

Young students cannot imagine what life’s like there and don’t know what customs people follow in those places. And of course they also don’t know the differences between them.” Cäline also shares that she hopes the students will be more motivated to learn geography when they receive the postcards with pictures of unknown land on one side and great blessings on the other. Senders are also requested to give their email addresses so that she and her students can express their gratitude and send back images and paintings combined with best wishes. More than 80,000 shares were made a mere 48 hours after it was posted on Facebook. This campaign became the most popular campaign among French communities. Ms. Cäline’s inspirational story got huge attention as it is extraordinary for strangers to send postcards. In their daily lives, especially on special occasions, not only the French but also other European

and American people often send postcards to their friends and relatives.

riginating in Austria in the late 19th century, postcards initiated a new method of sharing short messages between those who know each other well. Sometimes, a postcard is sent with the purpose of arranging an appointment. For instance, by reading a postcard, the one living at one end of the city would know that they are supposed to meet with their friend living on the other end at a bar in the afternoon. Postcards became most popular during the first 20 years of the 20th century, particularly during World War I. In prisons, this mean of communication was preferred by military officials as it helped them to simplify the work of censorship. In war

Further information: ü There is a postcard museum in France. You can get more information about millions of postcards from around the world that were sent in different periods of time. Address: Musäe de la Carte Postale, 4 avenue Tournelli 06600 Antibes - France. ü If you want to join the campaign of Ms. Cäline from Rocher des Lutins school, you can send a letter to 1 Rue des coles, 85330, Noirmoutier en l’ile France before July 2016. ü Apart from traditional paper, in Michigan (USA), thin wood is used to make postcards. At the same time, people living on tropical islands create their own postcards from coconut shells. ü In Europe, old postcards are displayed and sold in open markets at various prices depending on the original date of the stamp.

museums, sometimes, you can still read old, tear-jerking postcards. “I’m fine. Sometimes, I’m allowed to play music which helps me feel less sorrow when I’m missing you. Wait for me, darling”, “Think of your future and find someone better than me, please” - the messages written on these postcards could have changed a girl’s entire life.

Nowadays, postcards play a vital role in sharing stories about the sender’s journeys. On one side there is always a photo of a landscape and on the other side there is space for the sender to write down their experiences and feelings. Postcards never upset anyone. Despite having left France, I always remember the image of Mrs. Renäe bustling

Nowadays, postcards play a vital role in sharing stories about the sender’s journeys. On one side there’s always a photo of a landscape and on the other side there is space for the sender to write down their experiences and feelings. Postcards never upset anyone. Even though the world has changed with rise and fall and many postcards have been sent among generations during the past 120 years, postcards have always been A6 (10.5 x 14.8 cm) sized rectangular pieces of cardboard. One interesting feature of postcards is that they are sent without being put into an envelope (but you still need a stamp, a name and an address of the sender and the receiver). Everyone, from the mailman to the fastidious housekeeper to the devoted father, can read the message on the postcard. Therefore, the content is less private and usually written in a positive manner so that everyone reading it has a reason to smile.

about the kitchen where she could look onto the lane near her house. She waited for the mailman and whenever she could, she would slowly walk up to the window and pull up a cart containing some postcards. During the two main holidays (winter and summer), what she looked forward to the most were postcards sent by her children who resided somewhere in the world. Maybe they were at one of the destinations she and her husband visited or at a certain scenery she still wished to visit. The happiness these postcards have brought her is immeasurable as they let her know her children are thinking about her whenever they are on a journey.

discover WITHOUT THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE HONG KONG WITH MY CLOSE FRIEND, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST A GLITZY AND EXTRAVAGANT CITY, UNSUITABLE FOR THOSE WHO LOVE SIMPLE AND ROMANTIC THINGS LIKE ME. INSTEAD, THIS “FRAGRANT HARBOR” IS A BLEND OF MODERN AND TRADITIONAL BEAUTY WITH CLASSICAL FEATURES. Text and photos: Thuy An

Bustling and serene Hong Kong is known as “the city that never sleeps”. In the center of Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway, even at 12am or later, stores welcome guests with colorful, sparkling lights and the streets are still full of people, especially on weekends. The famous Lan Kwai Fong street only gets more bustling after 9pm.

FURTHER INFORMATION: ITINERARY: ü You can fly from Hanoi or HCMC to Hong Kong International Airport with Vietnam Airlines. From the airport, you can travel to the center of city by bus, subway train or taxi. TRANSPORTATION: ü You can buy an Octopus card at the airport to go around Hong Kong. This multifunctional card can be used to buy subway fares, bus fares, shopping at the mall. When running out of money, you can charge to continue using. The cost of taxis in Hong Kong is measured by the minute, so you should not use taxis in rush hours to avoid traffic jam. MUST-VISIT DESTINATIONS: ü The Peak, Victoria Harbor, Tai O fishing village, Soho and Wanchai INTERESTING LEISURE ACTIVITIES: ü Visiting Ocean Park, Disneyland, going around Hong Kong by two-floor electronic bus, relaxing at Lan Kwai Fong and watching horseracing MUST-TRY DISHES: ü Dimsum, Crab with spicy sauce, hot rice gruel with youtiao, Liu Sha Bao, skewers, yuanyang tea and milk tea

The vibrant beauty of Hong Kong is not evoked by annoying honking or the boisterous sounds of people chatting but by the exciting atmosphere in every small corner, the rushing footsteps and the jingling sounds whenever traffic lights turn green. Amateur bands perform on the streets every weekend night. Middleaged artists create their simple stage with microphones, speakers and guitars, and then freely sing their favorite songs from modern music to old melodies which remind listeners of Hong Kong in old times. Younger people go further; they usually stand on walking bridges and play music from hiphop, beatbox to jazz in a relaxing manner among passersby. Perhaps, because of “staying up late” with its effervescent nightlife, Hong Kong is a drowsy city, getting up late in the morning. At 7am, when sunlight is covering all of the streets, in Mongkok, where the life was bustling last night, every store is sleeping, just some old men sit on desks, silently watching deserted roads. Leave the modern urban places and visit remote areas of Hong Kong such as Stanley Bay or Tai O fishing village, where you will immediately realize the serene

traditional beauty of this fragrant harbor. Without the tinkling lines at crossroads and rumbling car engines, Hong Kong immerses itself in a gentle and quite atmosphere. While Stanley Bay boasts its silence and gorgeous appearance with luxurious apartment buildings and beautiful garden houses, Tai O fishing village just appears pensively with rustic houses overlooking the sea.

Sunlight fulfils every street corner During our time exploring the pearl of Asia, we always wonder whether the designer of Hong Kong was a painter who adorned every street with lovely colors. Even the subway stations have their own jacket of countless colors to differentiate themselves from others. Hong Kong is the city where modern European styles meet traditional values. It’s so easy to find contrasting images created by putting traditional drug stores selling oriental herbs, small restaurants selling dumplings

and rice gruel near luxurious shopping centers, electronics stores and the chains of McDonalds or KFC. Among tall buildings, there are some small yards in the shade of trees and flowers. We call them “happy corners of Hong Kong” because it’s not easy to take small spaces like these out of Hong Kong - one of the most densely populated city in the world. These “happy corners” are not only the playground of children but also favorite places of officers working in nearby buildings. It will be a shortcoming if you evaluate the bustling and beautiful Hong Kong just by stores along streets. When wandering around Tsim Sha Tsui, I’m mesmerized from the very first moment. Behind a small, simple door and above a narrow staircase is the new world of numerous bookstores, gyms and clothing shops. All of them seem to be obscured by countless signboards on the first floor.

Cold faces and warm hearts While Hong Kong seems to be haughty and glacial, it welcomes us with its most sincere sentiments. Without talking, Hong Kong’s inhabitants just pass by me quickly as they are hurried to go to subway stations, to their offices or just busy with their smart phone. However, when we are struggling to find to way back to the hostel and so confused with the “incomprehensible” way locals number houses, we are supported by many friendly passers. On that hot afternoon, they willingly stop to help us use Google Maps, and try to show us the way in any languages that they can use, from English, Chinese and Cantonese to ... body language. Once we walk through Soho and see locals building a high shed with a multitude of eyecatching votive paper, my friend cautiously asks them what they are doing. Then, these people enthusiastically share that they are celebrating the traditional Vu Lan festival. During 8 days in Hong Kong, I chose a homestay hostel to sleep at night. Although the room is very small, it really gives us an opportunity to witness the hard lives of labor

people in the bustling and gorgeous Hong Kong. Our host, a middle-aged man, is very kind. Owning a chain of hostel in AirBnb style, he is not rich. He and his wife live in a tiny room on the 9th floor of an old building. Their children have to live in a five -square meter room without windows. There is only enough space for a bunk bed, a table and a small cabinet. While Hong Kong seems to be haughty and glacial, it welcomes us with its most sincere sentiments.

When it comes to Hong Kong, people will think of the wealthy lifestyle, a modern city with commercial centers springing up everywhere. But for me, Hong Kong is simple like a girl. She looks trendy, yet there are some tranquil silences deep in her soul.
