Last winter, freezing bitter winds brought snow to Sapa, covering the land with its white color. Hardly hard the guesthouse owner informed when I and some of my friends packed our luggage, wore our warmest clothes and went to Sapa. At that time, we only wanted to catch the rare snowflakes in our tropical country.

TRAVELLIVE

Snow is no longer unfamiliar with us who have traveled a lot. We lost in a snow rain in Beijing, saw ourselves get nosebleeds while walking in snow mud at Hokkaido Ski resort. We used to gather in front of fireplace while outside the window, snow was sprinkling the melodies of Fur Elise on Veanna. We even celebrated Christmas right at Charle de Gaulle Airport with free red wine when our flight was delayed because of snow.

However, snow in Sapa is a different thing. In this tropical country, snow seems to be a warning of global changes, yet travel lovers like us could not stay at home and miss that special phenomenon. We had one of the most memorable winters in life.

Dear our companions, winter comes when you open a new page of the calendar, when you back home to find a warm scarf or a coat because of cold winds, and when you stroll down streets and think of snow-covered lands in western countries.

Meanwhile, in Australia, tropical breezes are preparing some tweet lines to invite you to enjoy the warm winter of the southern hemisphere.

This winter, will you choose a familiar destination in cold Northern lands or an unique place of sunny Southern countries?

Do not hesitate to share with us!

Wish you a peaceful new season and memorable winter journeys!

HANoI when Jessica stayed in Hanoi, we loved wandering around the Old Quarter, my favorite place for relaxing on weekends, especially on the cool days when winter winds start blowing.

Jess was so excited to try any street food that I recommended, from rolls, banh mi (Vietnamese bread) to vermicelli with grilled pork. However, while she loved exploring the culinary culture, she wanted to know more about the stories hidden behind each dish and how chefs are inspired to cook these “masterpieces”.

us a detailed introduction of the dish.

Salted bamboo sprouts, salted carrot and greens are neatly arranged on the winnowing basket and the bowl is set on a pan among dried citronella, cinnamons and tealeaves. To enjoy the dish, we just need to set the dried ingredients around the bowl, smell their spicy and warm scents and listen to the sizzle of beef grilling inside the bowl.

The brown yellow tenderloin is dipped in greasy sauce of onion, pork fat, and five spices, having a special power to enchant any gourmand.

“What Vietnamese cuisine are you going to suggest today?” she asked.

A new idea immediately came to my mind but I just kept her guessing by saying “we are going to a special place where you’ll experience more than you’d expect”. we walked from Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square to Hang Dao Street and stop at No.58. In front of us is Oriental Suites Hotel with the famous restaurant VIETDELI. I’m sure that the restaurant could satisfy Jess and all types of foodies. A waitress greeted us with her warmest smile and gave us an attractive menu. Eager to try a new delicacy, we agreed to try a highly recommended dish - grilled beef tenderloin rolls with local greens.

Grilled beef tenderloin can be enjoyed two ways. Jess is mesmerized by beef rolls with mustard greens, salted bamboo sprouts and salted carrot

Just a few minutes later, the waitress pulls a small trolley toward us, and a bowl and a flat winnowing basket are placed on the table while she gives

served with five-spice sauce. I find a new way to eat pho (Vietnamese noodles) by sousing sauce onto sautäed noodles. This dish is far different from noodle soup, stir-fried noodles and fried noodles that I’ve experienced.

Inspired by Kim Tien grilled beef of southern Vietnam, Mr. Tran Van Ninh, the head cook, uses ingredients and spices of the North to make his own variant. He marinates pig’s liver with five spices and marinates scalded nape fat with sugar and white wine to make it clear and crispy. Apart from banh da (rice pancake), fresh mustard greens that are popular in winter are the best choice to pair with the beef.

The light, sweet taste of their core, blended with the flavor of grilled beef and spicy sauce can entice any diner at the first taste. Even when you finish your meal, you can still smell the aromas of dried citronella, cinnamon and tealeaves in the intimate space of the restaurant. The ceiling is made of glass, letting natural light enter softly and fill the room, an aquarium with colorful fishbelow your feet. why not spend more time here, enjoy delicious dessert and sweet drinks which are as fresh as those coming winter winds?

ocated about 30km from Danang International Airport, Palm Garden Beach Resort and Spa Hoi An is an oasis nestled in the green of a tropical garden with over 400 species of palm tree and plants along picturesque Cua Dai Beach. The resort offers a touch of Hoi An's traditional architectural design combined with a taste of modern luxury.

Palm Garden Beach Resort and Spa Hoi An offers a very simple, uncluttered, stylized and highly comfortable room space where guests can sit on a sofa and relax or on the balcony to savor a cup of tea and take in the beauty of the green garden or the peaceful beach.

When the first rays of sun shine or the colorful sunset's rays visit your room, open the large window, breathe the fresh air from the garden, feel the cool gentle winds and listen to the melodies of ocean. Nothing could be more amazing than these moments.

After a long exciting journey to explore the Old Town of Hoi An, headback to the Palm Garden Resort, lie on long desk to admire the beauty of the white sand beach or swimming pool, making your stay more memorable.

EAT WHITE RICE AND DRINK RICE WINE IN CAN THO t's hard to find a place where rice is tastier and more aromatic than that in Can Tho, the city mentioned in the folk verse "Can Tho gao trang nuoc trong" (Can Tho white rice, pure water). A simple bowl of rice can enchant any visitor coming here. A foreign friend keeps asking me why Vietnamese people always greet others by asking "Hey, have you eaten yet?". This is not only a question but also a special way to say "Hi" like English speakers ask "How are you?". This way of

TRAVELLIVE

greeting is very popular, especially in the Mekong River Delta. Surely, whenever visiting my friend in Can Tho, his mother will give me her friendliest smile and ask "Have you eaten, dear?" while I also greet her by asking "Have you eaten, Madam?"

Rice in Can Tho is the most delectable in our country and provides you with the greatest rice dishes. A bowl of streamed rice wafting its pure scent and some pieces of stir-fried beef with telosma cordata flowers can attract anyone passing. After lunch, it's amazing to sip rice wine while relaxing on a hammock.

The better the rice, the greater the wine. Locals in Can Tho have their own way to cook and enjoy wine, which is simply liberal yet close like their personality. In order to have good wine, they need to pay much attention to choosing the correct

rice grain and alcohol yeast as well as being careful in every detail.

Rice is steamed and cooled down before the fermentation process. Yeast is made from various ingredients such as the top layer of herbs, cinnamon, clove, dried tangerine skin, big longan or betel. Wine which is traditionally cooked using dried straw and rice husks which are the most flavorsome. It takes a long time to cook wine in this way; therefore, locals only cook some bottles of wine by themselves to treat their guests.

GO TO CHAU DOC MARKET, VISIT "THE KINGDOM OF FISH SAUCE" Explore the culinary art of this That Son (Seven Mountains) region, and you will find the obvious

interference of Vietnamese, Chinese and Khmer culture. While palmyra is a signature fruit of Khmer people, "tung lo mo" (beef sausage) is a specialty of Cham people. "Hu tieu ca" (noodle with fish) bears Chinese features whereas "lau mam" (fish sauce hotpot) offers diners the flavor of the Southern Vietnam. When you visit Chau Doc, don't forget to eat fish sauce vermicelli or "drink" with your friends and enjoy fish sauce hotpot which is filled with shrimp, fish, meat and more than 20 varieties of vegetables. Nowhere in Vietnam has such diverse and "freshest-ever" cuisine with fruit, vegetables and spices like in Mekong River Delta.

In Chau Doc, the most interesting thing is going around fish sauce markets where you can find a multitude of fish sauce made from different types of fish such as henicorhynchus, snakehead, trichogaster pectoralis, kryptopterus catfish, mystus planiceps and anchovy. They are the quintessence of floating season lasting from September to November. Fresh fish are marinated with fish sauce, Palmyra sugar and roasted rice, creating a distinctive flavor representing for this region.

If you are about to climb up Sam Mountain to admire the breathtaking beauty of the sunset, stop at a stall on your way to buy some hot yellow palmyra sponge cakes made from palmyra sugar. Nothing is more fascinating than immersing yourself in the sunset, sitting on the windy peak of the mountain, taking in the panoramic view of rice fields and slowly tasting the sweetness of a palmyra sponge cake. Spongy cake featuring the sweet fat taste of sugar and coconut and the aroma of palmyra will bring you a special dining experience. Made from natural ingredients and consisting of potassium, magnesium, vitamins and antioxidants, palmyra sugar helps you to purify your body naturally and makes you healthier. Therefore, those who are sweet-lovers can enjoy this kind of cake without worrying about gaining weight.

Coming to the Mekong River Delta, the land of "white rice, pure water" and of majestic mountains and rich fields, you have a chance to explore the mysterious history and the unique acculturation of this region. And above all, you will find yourself in the world of fresh and delicious cuisine while travelling on the Mekong River.

GOOD MORNING! EGGS BENEDICT, ANYONE? One day during the 1890s, a customer walked in a small restaurant and asked for something to cure his hangover. The waitress served him poached eggs with Hollandaise sauce made from egg yolks and butter.

Little did any of them know that this dish would become one of the most classic breakfast recipes in the world a hundred years later.

Egg Benedict appears to be a simple breakfast or brunch dish consisting of poached eggs on a muffin, topped with ham and bacon and served with Hollandaise sauce. Yet, it's not easy to prepare a perfect poached egg. Poaching eggs is

THE WORLD

so challenging that many home cooks are paralyzed on Master Chef. As Gordon Ramsay, who has mastered the art of the poached egg, said "Many cooks were sent home for an over poached egg. Don't underestimate the challenge." Truly, only those who have great cooking skills can make the quintessential poached egg with round pillowy white surrounding a velvety yolk.

It's tough at the very beginning when you heat the water. If the water is too cold, the yolk will separate from the white. If the water is too hot, the egg explodes as it was boiling too violently. When introducing your egg to the poaching water, you have to treat it as gently as possible, or else everything turns into a mess. One of the tips is to add a few drops of vinegar to your water. This way, the white will be kept intact. Try it later and enjoy this luscious breakfast with homemade Hollandaise sauce, sautäed spinach and savory hot muffins!

BISOUS* BISOUS MY FRENCH TOAST An interesting fact about French Toast is that French Toast isn't really French. The dish has such a long history in the culinary world, which can be traced back to the Roman Empire. The earliest French Toast recipe was described as Aliter Dulcia "Another kind of sweet" in the Apicius, a collection of Roman cookery recipes in the late IV or early V century AD ("Apicius" therefore also expresses excessively refined love of food). The dish at first contained just bread dipped in milk. This authentic recipe later added eggs to the mixture of bread and milk.

People in ancient Rome loved

to fry it up and had it served with honey. Nowadays, the French Toast recipe hasn't changed much. You just need to soak bread in the egg mixture, then fry it in butter.

A small tip for a custardy interior, pillowy texture and velvety feel in the mouth is to use full-fat milk. Do you want that rich flavor in your mouth? There are many options which you can combine with French Toast, you can pick whichever you like such as Nutella, maple syrup, powered sugar, cream cheese, strawberries, or banana. Back then, French Toast was for the poor who needed to use their old bread, which is why some people would call this Pain Perdu -"lost bread", or "wasted bread"; some would call it Gypsy Toast. Today, French Toast is adored by all the foodies who have "Apicius" around the world.

DELICIOUS JAPANESE OMURICE A Japanese friend of mine once said, in Japan most people know how to make Omurice, just as Vietnamese people know how to cook noodles. Back then during the Meiji period, an important period in Japan's modernization, Japanese adopted the way of European cooking their Omelette and created their own version Omelette with fried rice: Omu-rice.

Omurice is simply an omelette stuffed with rice and flavored with ketchup. This

dish soon became a mainstay in Japanese cuisine. This "national dish" is very familiar, as it features in many popular mangas, and comics such as Midnight Dinner and Kitchen no Ohimesame.

Unlike American's Egg 's Benedict, which looks simple yet is very sophisticated, Japanese Omurice seems to be tough with many ingredients: meat, beans, onions, carrots, mushrooms, peppers and sauce, but it is extremely simple to cook, even for beginners. All you need to do is to mix all of the ingredients together and fry them up before wrapping them inside the omelette. The first curry Omurice recipes entered Japan in 1872 thanks to English sailors. There is a unique variant of Omurice, instead of using rice, you can use dried noodles, Yakisoba, to prepare Omusoba dishes. This November, why don't you prepare Omurice for picnic brunches with friends?

"SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW SOMETHING SWEET, SOMETHING BLUERED-AND GREEN" Christmas is always such a joyous season with evergreen pine

wearing red and blue baubles. This is also the season to get some sweet and warm feeling on your tongue. A traditional cup of Eggnog is exactly what we would wish from a drink in winter. This stirred custard-a mixture of dairy and eggs is more than irresistible.

Eggnog, also called Egg Cocktail, more accurately Egg Milk Punch, was a privileged drink of aristocrats who could afford the high price of alcohol and spices. Punch, believed to be the early form of modern cocktails, was brought to Britain from India by sailors during the 1600s. Traditional Punch was originally made with Arrack, sugar, lemon, tea and spices. Later Rum

became the liquor of choice since it goes more pleasantly with the various flavors of fruits and spices. These days, Egg Milk Punch is made from raw eggs, milk, vanilla, nutmeg and Rum, but Whiskey or Brandy can also be used. Although Eggnog can be cooked to kill off any possible bacteria and to thicken the mix, it will deactivate the egg enzymes that give "real" eggnog it's "je ne sais quoi" (a distinctive quality that cannot be described easily with words).

You may wonder why its name has the word "nog". Most culinary anthropologists believe the word of "Nog" derives from "Noggin", which was a Middle English term for the wooden mug used to serve alcohol. You may find this familiar image of noggin in Pixar movie "Brave". To make it more aromatic, eggnog is best served with a sprinkling of cinnamon powder.

Enjoy the "holiday spirit" of a glass of eggnog this Christmas!

VIETNAMESE EGG CAKE: VERY HOMECOOKING, VERY MOMCOOKING Vietnamese mothers are renowned for their cooking skills which have been passed down from generation to generation in the family. Hence, if you may hear any of your Vietnamese friends' comments like "This tastes like home!", or "It's like mom's dishes", which also means "the food is just so delicious!" Talking about mom's style in the kitchen, you don't want to miss the Vietnamese

Egg Meatloaf, or Egg Cake - one of the most familiar Southern dishes in Vietnam. Remember the popular "broken rice" on the culinary map? You won't be fulfilled if there is a lack of this delightful Egg Cake on the dish.

The very Southern way to prepare Egg Cake is to mix bean thread vermicelli, ear mushrooms (fungus), onions, shallots, ground lean pork; then to knead the mixture with the eggs before seasoning it with fish sauce, sugar, salt and pepper. The mixture should be steamed for 2530 minutes at 160C. One tip to check if meatloaf has been cooked is to use bamboo toothpicks.

Inserting a toothpick into the middle of the meatloaf, raw meat will cling to the toothpick. Before turning off the heat to finish the egg cake, people will use the eggy yolks to create an egg glaze on the surface.

Using this method, the egg cake will have the beautiful golden crust which many foodies fall for.

Another interesting version of Egg Cake made

by Chinese community is the Salted Egg Cake.

Instead of using chicken eggs, salted duck eggs are used in the mixture. This kind of Egg Cake has

very special aroma and an incredible taste.

A bowl of hot rice with Vietnamese Egg Meatloaf, with added sesame oil and green onions on top, is all you will want for a simple, easy dish on lazy days. *Itadakimasu:In Japan, people say, "Itadakimasu" before they eat. This is taught as a table manner since they are small. It means, "I will eat now!"

"Dig in!" or "Let's eat!" *Bisous: French Culture - A word that slips off the tongue with ease upon parting from anyone whose company you truly enjoy.

Most of us consider winter as the season of cold winds, freezing rains and everything-covered-with-snow and many people used to think that winter is not a suitable time for traveling and leisure activities. However, with new tourist trends, winter is no longer a chain of boring days when you just want to stay at home. Thousands of destinations are attracting more and more travelers with interesting itineraries. Travellive would like to share some useful tips that you should remember when preparing for your excursion this winter.

OUTFITS Apart from warm clothes that prevent your body from losing heat such as sweaters and felt layers, you had better bring outerwears that block the wind, keep out rain and snow, and allow sweat vapor to escape. Dark-colored outfits absorb more heat and look cleaner.

Also, don’t forget indispensable accessories, including thick woolen scarves, multi-layer gloves, hats and socks.

During your winter holiday, you can both participate in outdoor activities and luxurious parties. A pair of insulated boots made from leather or suede and wool winter socks are the best combination for you when having fun with snow while a mediumhigh heeled boots with a trench coat are

favored by many charming girls when enjoying the coldness of winter. At the same time, a fur scarf not only keeps your neck warm but also makes your more attractive while attending winter parties.

MUST-HAVE ITEM Whether in summer or winter, we always need to drink enough water. We seem to be too “lazy” to drink water in cold weather, so a good small thermos water bottle containing warm water is a great “reminder”.

The cold and dry climate of winter can damage your skin, making it drier with cracks and red spots. Don’t leave your all-in-one skin moisturizer at home if you want to protect and keep

your special “layer” always soft and safe.

HEALTHCARE NOTICES - Add some spices such as ginger, peppers, and chilies to your dishes.

When visiting a new land, you should choose suitable foods and make sure that you are not allergic to them.

Cereals with a high amount of fiber is a good choice, providing you with enough energy for winter activities. Fatty dishes will make you feel full quickly; however, consider before eating them as they are indigestible food that may cause you to get indigestion.

- During your journey, you are most likely to travel a lot, so having quality meals and keeping warm are the two most significant things which prevent you from respiratory, digestive and neural problems and maintain the body’s resistance as well. In addition, you could use some products like vitamin (tablets or effervescent tablets).

- Because the weather condition in each place can be different from others, you should carefully look for information about a destination’s climate to properly prepare for you and your family, especially for your children.

To French people, Besançon evokes a feeling of coldness and strangeness.

However, for me who considers the city home. Besançon is where I have unforgettable beautiful memories despite the most severe weather I have experienced in my life.

I

WHERE COLDNESS IS A KIND OF “SPECIALTY”

n a local class of public relations and communication, the PR manager of Besançon said that we could assign any place with a distinct word to represent it.

For example, “nuoc mam” (fish sauce) would represent Vietnam.

Then class members talked about Besançon, and decided “cold” was its word!

On January 1st, 2015, Mouth Village (in the same Doubs region with Besançon) had to endure the lowest recorded temperature in France, with a temperature of -41.2oC. Since that time, the village has been considered the “Little Siberia” of France. Besançon is not as cold as this village, but I have experienced harsh winters when I found myself walking in snow up to my knees while buses were not able to run. In Besançon, people prefer days with a negative temperature to snowy days because snow does not fall when the temperature is lower than zero.

The more cold days I’ve experienced here, the more I love the days when the entire city does laundry and drying

together. It’s also the time when people hurry to go for a picnic on any green space.

This city is the convergence of all Mother Nature’s beauties.

Its beauty is a blend of plateaus, waterfalls, rivers and forests. Mysterious forests are everywhere in Besançon. The city also boasts its two famed mountains on the border and in the Franche-Comtä region, namely Jura and Vosges. In winter, mountains covered by snow offer locals a great deal of benefit. When the season comes, ski lovers and hikers gather here to enjoy their holiday with winter sports, many of them are from Austria, the Netherlands and Central European countries which are far away from Besançon.

The Jura mountains have more to offer. Forests there provide a huge amount of wood for wooden toy manufacturing - the industry has developed since the 13th century. Perhaps it’s also the reason why you can easily find a wooden house for a Santa Claus set in the most

prominent place of any annual Noel market. Cartoon characters and things made from wood are skillfully used for the house’s däcor. Christmas or “Noel” is my favorite time, living in this east mountain area.

THE CITY OF HIDDEN BEAUTY I can confidently say that I have walked every street in the center and I don’t need any map to find the quickest way through the narrow alleys. To explore the local architecture, firstly you need to contemplate the fronts of buildings made from Chailluz stone. This kind of stone is harvested from the Forest of Chailluz and features two main colors: blue and grey. Buildings made with this stone appear to change color with the weather, which provides an interesting and unique facade.

The attractiveness lies in hidden yards behind large gates where you can see some charming outdoor staircases leaning against beautiful walls covered by plants

and flowers. The yard of H´tel de Champaney at 37 rue Battant is an elegant example. Without any guide, you may miss a chance to visit such a special building. It has many interesting features.

Animal-shaped waterspouts from the 16th century can still be seen on the front wall. Not many buildings in France keep these waterspouts, the most noticeable one is on Notre Dame de Paris (Notre-Dame Cathedral). Explore the dark lane near the music instruments store, where you will find the oldest and most famous traditional double staircase of the city!

Opposite the staircase is a restaurant that shares its name with the hotel. It looks quite small but it would be a pity to miss this lovely restaurant. The restaurant’s menu is changed seasonally with fresh local products and wines carefully selected by connoisseurs. As one of the chicest and most formal restaurants in the city, it is an ideal place for important parties.

Turn right when leaving the restaurant and you will find another special site of Le Champagney. A cobblestone path will lead you to an outdoor stone staircase and a wall of the pedagogic college (IFMT). Don’t be afraid, the college welcomes all visitors coming there. Just a few more steps onto Esplanade de Griffon, where you can take in the most beautiful view of snow-

Further information ü Besançon is the capital city of Doubs province, Franche-Comtä in the East France. From Vietnam, you can fly to Paris with Vietnam Airlines then travel by TGV train to Besançon.

It takes 2 hours and 5 minutes to travel from Paris Gare de Lyon to Besançon-Franche-Comtä.

3 MUST-VISIT DESTINATIONS OF THE CITY INCLUDE ü Citadelle (the citadel built by the military genius Vauban in the 17th century and was recognized

by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage), ü Musäe du temps - Museum of Time (where products representing the glorious period of local clock industry are showcased) ü The house at 140 Grande-rue Street (where Victor Hugo was born).

You can find all information related to ski stations in Franche-Comtä on www.franche-comte.org (Däcouvrir > Montages du Jura > Hiver et ski dans le massif du Jura).

covered roofs.

But if you prefer going down to climbing up, I can give you another recommendation: Au Vieux Comtois. It was not until my third academic year that I found this restaurant while hanging out with my local friend. Although it is located on Grand-rue - the main and most crowded street of the old quarter, it’s difficult to notice the restaurant between the Casino, Supermarket and Style furniture shop. The restaurant is so busy that it is recommended to book a table in advance, even for lunch on weekdays. The cellar is the most popular area and, of course, you need go down to

get there. Whether it is stormy or sunny outside, the restaurant is always my paradise: with aromatic Cancoillote cheese and some slices of Franche-Comte served with morel mushroom or a piece of yellow famed Morteau sausages. I also want to share more about a massive media campaign launched at metro stops in the capital. Simple posters with the image of a scrumptious sausage and its slogan “Offerzvous 20cm de pure Bonheur” (treat yourself with a 20cm of pure joy) had an enormous influence at that time.

HEARTS NEVER SLEEP IN WINTER Living in a cold place where it is rarely sunny even in April, you will naturally get familiar with the cold. Hanging out with friends, enjoying cheese hot pot, and chatting with the restaurant’s owner about the grapes used to make the wine you are savoring is a good plan for a cold day. It’s cold like this year by year and people never get bored with it.

The more severe it is, the more locals love each other. Once my boyfriend and I were picked up by a strange woman when we missed the last bus at night. At that time, she was coming back to her house near the station. It was very cold and we lived far away in the city center. She decided to help us just because “I can’t bear looking at the two of you waiting for the bus on such cold night.”

As many winters Besançon passed, I realize that no place in the world can upset us if we have our feet warmed by good boots, our hands warmed by lovers and our mind warmed by locals’ generousily. And, the most important thing is that we only need an “open” heart to love and experience winters in that city.

Located in northern Austria, the small village lies gracefully in the heart of the valley, surrouned on four sides by mountains like a small cat curled up on a smooth mattress. The charming landscape mesmerizes visitors from the very first moments when they arrive in the area. Mountains embrace the village while Hallstatter Lake boasts her glassy water and â&#x20AC;&#x153;lazyâ&#x20AC;? waves.

FAIRY VILLAGE Hallstatt frontally overlooks the beautiful lake and gently backs against the captivating mountains, creating amazing scenery. Small, winding pathways around the village and roads on the mountainside make Hallstatt more charming and picturesque than ever. It takes about one hour to reach the mountain peak behind the village where you can admire the best panoramic view of Hallstatt complete with snow-covered mountains and small houses which are viewed as shimmering reflections in the glassy waters of the lake in the green valley. Perhaps, simple words cannot describe completely the beauty of this area, which has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage site.

Close your eyes and think about what you have read in Grimm’s Fairy Tales. There is a lovely and peaceful village with white roofs covered with snow, some white chimneys and forests wearing a white coat of snow. People enjoy their rustic, simple lives there.

Sparkling yellow lights make the place feel warmer. Some houses are adorned with Christmas’ colours. The aroma of traditional waffle from the bakery spreads over the village. Stop looking elsewhere, Hallstatt is the village you’re looking for.

ituated in the region of Salzkammergut (which means lots of salt in German), Hallstatt will tell you stories of salt mines and its own history.

When you stay in this area, don’t forget to visit a salt mine and listen to its history. There are many salt mines with depths varying from hundreds to thousands of meters. Unlike sea salt on beaches, salt is filtered from giant stones found in the mines. Salt from the mountain is quite different from sea salt because of its lower levels of saltiness.

Nowadays, locals have stopped using mines and other traditional methods to produce salt from

some saltmines. They have turned these saltmines into natural museums showcasing the salt mining process in both ancient and modern ways. For me, the most impressive thing is the role of saltmines during the World War II. Because of the devastating ravages of war and to prevent their valued cultural property from being looted in Hitler’s period, inhabitants hid paintings, sculptures, documents and other valuable works inside the mines. When the war ended, these masterpieces were displayed for visitors. Due to disadvantages during the war, they were hidden in different places by different army corps.

It’s even believed that thousands of precious works have still not been discovered.

WARM IN WINTER Hallstatt and its neighbours are ideal places for bikers. The open green space brings you the most peaceful feelings ever and mesmerizes with its beauty.

It’s not easy to ride on the hilly terrain, but believe me, you will have more exciting experiences than you expect when exploring this area.

With a small population of less than 1 million people, the village welcomes visitors with their warm attitude. It is, perhaps, the friendliest place I have been to in Europe. Locals do not promote tourism for commercial purposes, they just want to welcome naturelovers and display their pride to the world. I arrived here quite

Snow is no longer unfamiliar with us who have traveled a lot. We lost in a snow rain in Beijing, saw ourselves get nosebleeds while walking in snow mud at Hokkaido Ski resort. We used to gather in front of fireplace while outside the window, snow was sprinkling the melodies of Fur Elise on Veanna. We even celebrated Christmas right at Charle de Gaulle Airport with free red wine when our flight was delayed because of snow.

However, snow in Sapa is a different thing. In this tropical country, snow seems to be a warning of global changes, yet travel lovers like us could not stay at home and miss that special phenomenon. We had one of the most memorable winters in life.

Dear our companions, winter comes when you open a new page of the calendar, when you back home to find a warm scarf or a coat because of cold winds, and when you stroll down streets and think of snow-covered lands in western countries.

Meanwhile, in Australia, tropical breezes are preparing some tweet lines to invite you to enjoy the warm winter of the southern hemisphere.

This winter, will you choose a familiar destination in cold Northern lands or an unique place of sunny Southern countries?

Do not hesitate to share with us!

Wish you a peaceful new season and memorable winter journeys!

Winter fun with snow ce skating and sledding are two of the most popular and suitable winter leisure activities and are loved by people of all ages.

The winter cold will become a vivid and unforgettable memory as you zoom down snowy hilltops or gracefully glide across the ice.

In winter, Koreans and visitors flock to an ice skating rink in Seoul Square. Located right in the middle of bustling downtown Seoul, this outdoor rink offers guests the best conditions to ice skate. Moreover, it is just a short walk from the rink to Gwanghwamun Square and the Insa-dong neighborhood, where you can visit a variety of tourist attractions.

If you are afraid of cold weather, an indoor ice rink located on the 3rd basement floor of Lotte World - one

of the major amusement parks in Korea, is waiting for you. You can still enjoy an exciting atmosphere without any worries about inclement weather or extreme temperatures outside.

Visit Korea this winter, be sure you don’t miss all the fun with exciting activities on snow. The most popular one is sledding down hills while sitting on a float, bringing you amazing moments. Everland Snow Buster, located in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, features a wide variety of high-speed sledding slopes where you can have twice as much fun and thrills with its 200m curved slope.

Why don’t you experience such interesting activity by yourself this winter?

The country of winter festivals When the snowflakes cover the entire country with their shining silver color, locals and visitors look forward to the largest annual winter event - Daegwallyeong Snow

Festival in Pyeongchang city.

The festival venue is divided into two main areas, each of them owns different range of winter events and activities.

One area showcases giant snow sculpture projects and original works of local artists. The other offers recreational activities such as snow sledding, bob-sleighing, and Winter Olympics experience programs.

Pyeongchang’s snow-capped landscape is the most beautiful and peaceful places in Korea.

The 2018 Winter Olympics is also scheduled to take place in this beautiful city.

Another unique Korean winter festival is Hwacheon Sancheoneo fishing festival.

When Hwacheoncheon Stream freezes in winter, locals and tourists alike flock to the stream, carve out a hole in the ice, and begin ice fishing for sancheoneo (mountain trout).

In such cold weather, everyone seems to forget the coldness; they share with others their warmest greetings then take part in numerous activities such as traditional skating and shedding.

FURTHER INFORMATION

WINTER IS NOT COLD Living in the severe weather of winter, Korean people have thousands of ways to enjoy the coldness. Immersing yourself in hot springs is one of greatest ways to rest and warm up your bodies. There are various hot springs well-developed in Korea from the ancient hot springs with hundred years of history in Asan and Sokcho to modern ones equipped with spa and healthcare services in Seoul. Spend your winter in warmth and have fun while indulging in mineral pure water whose temperature can up to 50 degrees Celsius.

Your journey will be incomplete if you don’t stroll down streets and explore the beauty of Korea. You will never feel the cold as there are many hot aromatic dishes waiting for you. If you walk along busy streets in Korea, it’s easy to find a smoky bowl of Tteokbukki and Kkochi Eomuk (skewered fish cake) sold by vendors. Nothing else could be better than enjoying the spicy taste of soft and sticky Tteokbukki and warming up with Kkochi Eomuk dipped into soy sauce and a bowl of radish and kelp broth.

Your freezing hands will immediately warmed up with a bag of baked sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts while delicious cakes filled with red bean paste such as Bungeoppang and Hoppang are always ready to satisfy your stomach. Treat yourself with these mouthwatering snacks and you will never feel cold in Korea this winter.

“Little Roman” 40km from the capital Tel Aviv in the north and on the way to Haifa, Caesarea was built by Herod the Great in BC. Herod named the city in honor of Emperor Augustus.

In the past, to mark their territories, ancient Romans built their systems of walls, trenches and fortresses wherever they went. Their infrastructures were the most modern of their time. Herod the Great also built a port - a great architectural structure with the modern facilities needed for a civilized society.

In the city there are also castles, temples, opera houses, markets, public bathrooms, a hippodrome and a water supply system that served more than 100,000 inhabitants. Roman

culture greatly impacted on Israel people’s daily life, especially with the architectural works gradually built in Caesarea.

It’s difficult to imagine and to choose the right words to describe the breathtaking beauty of this city. It is a spectacular work of architecture incorporating long pillars from the entrance of the city to an outdoor opera house with the capacity of 4,500. Luckily, most of them are preserved just as they used to be. Debris from more than 1,300 pillars have been found in the sea. Those pillars were built with marble from Italy and India. Many warehouses were built along the port to contain goods from different countries around the world.

ISRAEL IS LOCATED IN A HISTORIC AREA WITH MANY ANCIENT WORKS FROM VARIOUS PERIODS OF ROMAN HISTORY. NOWADAYS, CAESAREA ANCIENT CITADEL, AN IMPRESSIVE ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE, IS THE ONLY ANCIENT ROMAN WORK LEFT AND IS LISTED AS ONE OF THE EIGHT MOST BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS IN ISRAEL.

Unique ancient architecture have a chance to witness remnants of the magnificent beauty of Ceasarea, which gives me the opportunity to admire the talented craftmanship of 2000, or even 3000 years ago. This city was more appreciated than Jerusalem. In the 7th century, Islamic invaders attacked and destroyed Caesarea. 5 centuries later, crusaders lengthened the water supply system and rebuilt the city as a vast fortress which still retains now.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most impressed with the hippodrome built in a Roman architectural style with oval racing

floor, wooden steps with chairs, stairs and corridors designed smartly to create the best exit path. There is also a 3500-seat square where many executions took place. This two-floor arena featured enough space for all citizens of the city. The exit includes many corridors.

Standing there, I felt as if I was journeying back to the Roman period and watching horse races, an exciting entertainment activity of kings and royaly of the time. Romans considered horseracing as a religion, an essential part of their moral life. It was the reason why they spent so much money buying good horses, worked hard to build this arena and even recruited excellent racers and joined expensive junior course.

the hippodrome WAS built in a Roman architectural style with oval racing floor, wooden steps with chairs, stairs and corridors designed smartly to create the best exit path.

How to get there? ü From HCMC, book a flight with Thai Airways to Tel Aviv with a transit in Bangkok. Return ticket costs about USD1,500.

From Ben Gurion airport, it takes about an hour to travel to Caesarea by rented car or bus.

Nearby stands an ancient Roman theater designed in the typical architectural style.

Located in the same area, all these works have been preserved and restored to be a resort and an interesting site for visitors. Creative and talented architects have skillfully added new features to the unique theater by building bars and souvenir shops on the seaside to attract more tourists. Let’s imagine that you were sitting on the beach, viewing ancient works in the beautiful sunset.

Bright yellow light makes these works more spectacular.

Many tourists are attracted by the modern restaurants built near unique architectural structures. While the restaurants have ancient yellow stones outside their fronts, their modern interiors surprise all guests when stepping inside.

Other restaurants and souvenir shops are tastefully designed in keeping with the style and feel of the city.

In a bar built in the ancient seaside fortress, I enjoy a glass of beer and some tabouleh, a local dish. Not far away are the Roman aqueducts that reflect the ability of the ancient constructors.

To bring water from distant sources to the city, they constructed numerous aqueducts beneath the ground or on bridgework. Sea water runs through pipes beneath the ground. This system makes it possible to transport water from 10 miles away to Caesarea.

As the last sunlight disappears over the sea, the colors transform from yellow to red and purple and you can immerse yourself in a passionate sunset.

Weather: ü Like other areas in Israel, the winter is cold whereas the summer is hot and dry.

Therefore, the best time to go there is the spring (late March to early June) or autumn (late September to early November) Outfits: ü During the spring and autumn, there is a difference between the temperatures of the day and night. You’d better bring a thick coat to keep warm when enjoying memorable moments with a campfire and seeing stars

shining in the sky. ü You’re also advised to bring some comfortable clothes and sunscreen to protect your skin from being damaged by the harsh weather of the desert.

Tips: ü You should exchange money to buy goods.

Monetary unit of Israel is Shekel. ü Visa: you should ask the Embassy to provide you with a separate visa instead of just sticking it in your passport. This will help you to visit other Islamic countries more easily.

Souvenirs: ü Books written about Caesarea in the past and present to discover more about this city ü Black and white sketches ü Judaica ceramic crafts

Watching the sunset makes me feel peaceful as if all the worries of a busy day were fading away. I walk along the beach, lean on the dome of an aqueduct system and see a yellow rock surface as if someone was burning fire. That’s my impressive Caesarea.

With over 60 million people visiting every year, Spain ranks number three in the world of tourism as most visited country, just behind France and the US. Most people visiting Spain tend to go either to the Mediterranean coast and Islands, seeking the hot weather, or to the main cities like Madrid, Barcelona or Bilbao. However, Spain has much more to offer, especially if you like history, old buildings and gastronomy. One good example is the city of Segovia, which is barely 90km North of Madrid, easily reachable by road and rail.

Its origins go back more than 20 centuries, and Celts, Romans, Jews and Arabs, to name a few, have occupied this lovely city for different lengths of time, leaving their architecture and heritage behind, making Segovia one of the most fascinating cities to visit for art and architecture lovers due to the many architectural styles present in this little town. The historic value is so huge that the UNESCO declared Segovia part of the world heritage in 1985.

But it was in the 12th century when Segovia really became important, as a center for the trade of sheep, wool and garments, which helped the city to thrive, and part of the wealth

from the trade was dedicated to build some of the gems that visitors can enjoy in Segovia.

from very far away, and used in Roman times to transport water to the city.

With hundreds of interesting sites and buildings to visit, this little town where barely 50,000 people live receives lots of tourists. One of the main attractions to visit is the Roman Aqueduct, located at the Azoguejo square, it was built around the end of the 1st century, the most significant Roman engineering construction in Spain. Around 25,000 granite blocks were used in its construction, with no cement or adhesive material holding them, just perfect construction; it is over 800 metres long and 29 metres tall with around 170 arches, a real beauty that can be seen

The Alcazar de Segovia which dates back to the 12th century, was the residence of many kings, and the start point for the coronation of Queen Isabella of Castilla.

An amazing castle that allow visitors, it has two defence towers and currently holds the Segovia Artillery Museum with examples of ancient weapons covering many centuries.

The views from its yard, on the main hill of the city, are amazing, protected by the city walls, visitors can also enjoy the visit to the Museo de la Quimica, a small museum covering the discoveries in chemistry over centuries.

Heading East, visitors can enjoy the narrow streets of the old Jewish quarter, full of old houses, shops and restaurants, which is especially beautiful at the end of the afternoon when the last rays of the sun create their magic. Through Calle de Socorro, visitors can enjoy the old Casa del Sol, now the Segovia Museum, just at the border of the city walls, and also with incredible views of the valley. On the same road the Convento de Corpus Christi (the old Synagogue), and the Puerta de San Andres are just two examples of architectural relics from different cultures sharing the city.

A

five minute stroll will take visitors to another amazing construction, the Catedral de Santa Maria, which is the last gothic cathedral to be built in Spain.

The original cathedral was of Romanesque style and situated opposite the Alcazar but was destroyed in 1521, giving way to the current one on which the construction began 1525. Expect to spend a few hours inside due to its huge architectural and religious wealth: no less than eighteen chapels hold beautiful religious pieces of art, but the building of

the cathedral itself is just incredible and a pleasure for the eyes.

Next to the cathedral is the Plaza Mayor, the city’s main square, surrounded by beautiful buildings, and with many bars and restaurants which offer traditional delicious Segovian food.

Perhaps the most popular dish here is the cochinillo asado (roasted piglet) a delicacy that this town is famous for, their cooking technique make the piglet so delicious and tender that it can be cut with a plate rather than a knife. One of the most famous restaurants is Jose Maria (Cronista Lecea 11), a couple of minutes stroll from the square will take you there. You can enjoy a drink at the bar or some of the best food at the restaurant where wine lovers can also enjoy Pago de Carraovejas wine produced at the owner’s winery.

Calle Juan Bravo will lead visitors to Iglesia de San Martin and the Royal Prison, two more examples of ancient architecture which grace Segovia.

These architectural masterpieces together with other ancient works in Segovia will bring you back to thriving centuries with endless stories about this tranquil city.

FURTHER INFORMATION: ITINERARY ü From HCMC there are many options to reach Madrid. Emirates flies with a stopover in Dubai; Qatar flies with a stopover in Doha; Turkish Airlines flies with a stopover in Istanbul; Air France flies with a stopover in Paris. Reaching Segovia is very easy by car or bus, and even quicker by high speed train, taking just 30 minutes from Madrid. You are advised to spend at least three days three to explore the heritages of this little city.

CUISINE ü Local Segovian cuisine is very varied, cochinillo (roasted piglet) is the biggest attraction. But it is also a great place to enjoy the different types of jamon (cured ham), cheese, and stews and wines.

Souvenirs ü metal statues of knights and replica swords, are just some of the many items you will find to bring back home as gifts.

CURRENCY ü Segovia uses the Euro, as Spain is part of the European Union.

LANGUAGE ü Spanish is the main language, however most people in hotels, restaurants and shops in the old quarter speak English, and some speak a decent level of French.

PALMYRA FIELD IN TINH BIEN, AN GIANG PHOTOGRAPHER: Le The Thang Located in the west of Nui Cam, Tinh Bien is a popular destitnation for forgein visitors on Cambodia-Vietnam itinerary.

In Tinh Bien, travelers are always attracted by the image of palmyra trees growing in abundance under the Sourthern sunslight. Palmyra trees not only provide fruits for refreshment but also greatly contribute to the region’s ecomomic growth.

They are planted in rice fields; therefore, if you look from a side view, each tree seems to be a “little sun” of the field. With a more special view - from the sky, they look like beautiful flowers on the smooth green carpet of rice.
