Experience your cozy and unique winter with your beloved ones.

My two little nieces are giggling with each other, building their “old” snowman. However severe winter is, it brings something miraculous to little kids. They are excited to go around, showing off their colorful new winter clothes. They look like pretty bears with the wool gloves and hat that their grandmother knitted for them. And the happiness of an adult like me is watching them and seeing enjoyment sparkle in their eyes.

I love curling up in a small corner of Hanoi, sipping a cup of hot chocolate with sweet marshmallow. Just a sip can warm up your entire winter. This winter, my family is travelling to a foreign country in which winter is far different from that in Hanoi. Outside the hotel, where my children are playing, snow has already covered the entire roof, putting its white coat on the land, trees, and fields. And who doesn’t love snow? But suddenly I miss my Hanoi with bitter winds which usually chill while I am strolling down narrow streets.

Losing my train of thoughts, when I look back, the children have finished their snowman and start playing with snowflakes in various shapes. I just relax and silently take in the winter far from home.

And you, have you prepared for your winder journey? Don’t hesitate to share it with us!

PHAN THIET The tropical destination of Mui Ne, Phan Thiet in southern Vietnam’s Binh Thuan province is perfect for getting away from the freezing winter and celebrate the festive seasons with your beloveds. It offers warm and sunny weather combined with endless miles of sand and surf.

The Pandanus Resort in Mui Ne beckons you to relax in the sun with its ten hectares of tranquil tropical gardens and an unspoiled white sand beach. The resort was designed in the architectural style of Champa, the culture that dominated this region of Vietnam from the first to the sixteenth centuries. Guests are greeted upon arrival by a traditional Cham band, while a Cham artisan weaves colorful scarves on an ancient loom. The resort is comprised of 134 rooms, suites and bungalows scattered throughout

ten hectares of manicured tropical gardens.

Each room is designed with comfort and luxury in mind, incorporating the ambience of a tropical paradise.

P

andanus Resort is a truly relaxing destination to escape for both Christmas and New Year. Christmas Eve dinner around the pool featuring turkey, ham, roast beef, lobster, all the trimmings and dozens of Christmas salads and desserts, plus unlimited wine or beer. Santa and Mrs. Santa will pass out loads of goodies for the kids, while The Ho Chi Minh City International Choir performs Christmas carols, and the resort very own Stardust Band plays all your Christmas favourites.

Our New Year’s Eve extravaganza is set in the garden with a panoramic view of

the ocean. The cuisine consists of a wide array of Vietnamese dishes, fresh barbecued seafood, a pig on a spit, and literally dozens of salads and desserts, plus unlimited wine or beer. Sparkling wine will be passed out just before the countdown to midnight. The Cham Band will perform while people are arriving, and then the Stardust band will perform a Broadway type musical revue.

Afterwards, the most acrobatic Lion Dance group in this part of Vietnam will have everyone in awe. Stardust will then return to perform some very lively dance music to get everybody into the party mood and ready for the countdown.

So, come to the Pandanus Resort for the holidays and create memories of a wonderful celebration that you will long cherish.

THE COLLECTION is inspired by minimalist baroque patterns which seem to strange but very familiar. They are taken from the bricks of the old time - the bricks we have seen in French maisons or old apartment buildings.

Hidden in grey days of winter is the vitality of young people represented in red. And hidden in fine modern cuts is the memories of time.

Melting

WITH CHEESE RACLETTE As winter comes, everyone seeks delicious and warm dishes. Therefore, people usually gather with friends to enjoy various types of hotpot, from Thai hotpot to crab or câˆ? kĂƒo (goby) hotpot. Fondue "hotpot" is a unique choice. To make Fondue, all you need is to melt Gruyere with Emmental cheese and add a little white wine.

Dip vegetables and bread into the fondue and enjoy its hot greasy taste. As Vietnamese people prefer healthy foods, they choose fruits such as grapes, strawberries, apples, and kiwi to serve with Fondue instead of sausage or bacon. If you love sharp cheese, then choose Cheese Raclette - the grilled cheese dish that can "melt" numerous diners around the world.

THERE ARE FEW restaurants in Vietnam offering Raclette as this dish is rarer, more expensive, and requires more cooking tools than Fondue. Raclette originated in Switzerland 700 years ago. As the stories go, when shepherds built their camps and prepared their meals, they put cheese near the fire. It melted and stuck to the stone. To save it, the shepherds

scraped the cheese from the stone and realized it tasted much more greasy and aromatic. Raclette is a hard cheese made from cow's milk. Before being melted, it has a bad odor but the grilled cheese is delicious and pleasant to smell. If you are on a diet, remember not to approach the stall where Raclette is melting because you will be mesmerized by this delicious dish.

They grill the entire block of cheese and then enjoy the melted part. Most restaurants serve Raclette in acoupelles (cast-iron pan) as it's more convenient or slice it with a mandoline (cheese wheel raclette). Before modern devices, Raclette was put near the fireplace. Traditional grilled cheese is always better. The tasty melted Raclette is best served with potatoes, dill pickles, onions, bread, herbal tea, or Kirsch cherry wine. The French politician and gastronome, Jean Anthelme Brillat Savarin said "A dinner concluded without cheese is like a beautiful woman missing an eye". Why don't you gather your friends and chill out with hot Raclette this winter?

THE TWO KNITTING needles dance with their own rhythms upside down while the two strands of wool are pulled up and stretched, sparkling under the sunlight. Skillful knitters use their hands as artfully as piano-players passionately play with their keys. At first, they remember the formula of each type and then forget all about it, knitting from the love in their hearts. Whenever catching a woman meticulously choosing a roll of wool, I suddenly smile... as I used to knit scarves for my lover. At that time, I spent hours considering how long and how thick the scarf should be as well as which colors and patterns would be perfect. Starting with the first sticks, I was confused and clumsy, just like any other teenager in love. I preserve the scarf and my lover from that time in my memories. Now, I just love watching my mother - my teacher - do her knitting.

Winter is the most severe season in many places over our planet; however, it’s also a “sweet challenge” for those who love exploring. If you plan to travel from a tropical country to a cold one, make sure that you prepare enough stuff to keep warm during your journey. ouTfITs

food ANd BEVERAGE

Top: it’s widely believed that lots of layers are better than a few thick clothes.

In addition, you’d better pay attention to the material. Leather, felt, and waterproof jackets like those for skiing are good choices. Long jackets also keep your lower back and thighs warm. About sweaters, remember to choose those which are made from fine wool fibers closely knitted together.

Drink enough warm water. Enjoy nutritious food with pepper, garlic, and ginger which generate heat and prevent you from getting colds.

Bottom: Things made from nonelastic material like jeans can not keep heat. So leave them home when travelling to a cold place. wear thick elastic cotton pants or leggings instead.

Scarves, gloves, hats: Cover your entire body with warm accessories.

Shoes and socks: Choose wool socks with thicker bottoms than common ones.

2-3 layers of socks with rubber boots are recommended. If it’s rainy or snowy, wear good anti-slip shoes.

70

TRAVELLIVE

mEdICINE it’s advisable to prepare medicine for common illness; especially colds as the changing weather can be harmful.

Medicating oil is indispensable, and ginger tea helps you balance your body heat.

You can use heat packs to keep you warm. Stick in your clothes around your back, thighs, and feet instead of your skin.

Ask your doctor for specific cases.

CosmETIC Cold weather makes your skin and lips dry. Bring with you hand lotion, facial cream, and chapstick.

NoTICEs - Look up the weather of the place you are going to visit a few days in advance to prepare suitable stuff.

- If you have some heart, blood pressure, or joint related problems, make sure that you won’t suffer from the cold weather.

- prepare specific bags for your camera and other electronic equipment.

- Bring an old newspaper or some tissue with you to dry your shoes.

Go skiing and eat fresh ice cream in Yamanashi

ust about 1 hour and 30 minutes by train (JR Shinjuku Station - JR Kofu Station) from Tokyo, Yamanashi is a peaceful rustic land with stretching rice paddies, fruit orchards, and poetic roads. As one of the most attractive destinations in Japan, Yamanashi boasts Mount Fuji - the highest mountain in Japan, Katadake Mountain - the second highest, Fuji Five Lakes, Fuji-Q Highland Park, grape vineyards, and the two most renowned hot springs in Japan, Isawa Onsen and Yamanami Onsen. Travel to Yamanashi this winter and enjoy strolling the down small paths to the mountains, looking over endless vineyards covered in snow, and playing in the snow.

Yamanashi is renowned for its winter resorts where families can relax near a fireplace while watching small mink and deer running in the white fields through the window. Eating fresh ice cream in winter is quite strange, but when visiting Seisen-Ryo (the favorite hostel of snow and nature lovers) you will see a long line of people waiting for ice cream. Here, fresh ice cream and yogurt are special with the distinctive greasy taste of fresh milk which draws Japanese people and visitors across hundreds of kilometers to Yamanashi for some ice cream after skiing.

Don’t forget to take in the beauty of the vineyards in winter. You can also visit the Shirayuri Winery - home of sakura wine which is produced and limited to spring only. Apart from tasting and learning more about different types of wine, you can go to the Koshu vineyard. The image of bare stumps “sleeping” in snow and waiting for their new year is wonderful. Go skiing, eat fresh ice cream, and visit the vineyards on snowy day?

KOREA

Knock on the door at Pyeongchang - the home of Winter Olympic 2018

P

yeongchang will host the 2018 Winter Olympics and is a must see destination for all travelers this winter. Unlike the familiar Seoul of Jeju, Pyeongchang in Gangwon Province is “the Mecca of skiing in Asia” with snow covered hills and mountains as well as popular ski slopes. Apart from the annual snow festival in Daewallyeong which displays stunning ice sculpture works, Pyeongchang offers visitors exciting winter Olympic sports. Among people’s favorite activities is sliding down the snowy hills on a float.

Winter festivals such as the Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice-Fishing Festival or the Bingeo Fishing Festival are specific to South Korea.

During the Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice-Fishing Festival, everyone wades in cold water to catch fish by hand while people dig small holes in the ice during the Bingeo Fishing Festival. These activities are very popular with TV channels such as CNNGo. Footage from the events has also been used for reality shows like Superman Returns in which a father struggles to take care of his child. Other festivals include the 46 day Pyeongchang Songeo Festival, the Taebaek Snow Festival, which features snow light architecture, and the Daegwallyeong Snow Festival where contestants run a marathon without shirts or coats in -20 degree weather.

Remember to enjoy the festival cuisine. Hot aromatic street food such as tteokbokki and kkiochi Eomuk (fishcake) are the best gifts for your empty stomach after having fun in winter.

Travel by cruise and watch dolphins in the Milford sound

f you are seeking a cozy place to escape from winter, travel to New Zealand to relax in the warmth of the opposite season. While the upper half of the world is getting colder and colder, the land of Kiwi starts its summer with sunshine, breeze, and the blue sea. Winter, from June to September, is the best time for ski lovers and of course, Summer, from November on is an ideal time to get on a cruise and watch dolphins in Milford Sound Bay. Located along southwestern New Zealand, the Milford Sound in Fiordland National Park, which attracts thousands of visitors with its majestic waterfall. With a closed structure, the Milford Sound is always peaceful even when it’s stormy outside, becoming the haven of boats in emergencies. The Milford Sound was recognized as the world heritage site in 1990.

The writer Rudyard Kipling, the Nobel Prize winner of 1907 and author of The Jungle Books, once called the Milford Sound the “eighth wonder of the world”, and poet Blanche Baughan stated that the Milford Trail leading to the Milford Sound in the south of New Zealand is the finest walk in the world. This is one of the most attractive places in New Zealand despite inconvenient transportation and limitations to protect the environment. There are hundreds of thousands of visitors who travel to the bay each year to visit the sparkling lakes and soaring mountains to take great pictures of valleys formed during the ice age. If you want to look for traces of the ice age, you can go to the Franz Joseph village and Fox Glaciers, sightsee the ice river, and get a panoramic view of the city. ü Tham kh∂o hµnh tr◊nh du thuy“n ngæm c∏ voi tr™n vnh Milford Sound tπi website: www.southerndiscoveries.co.nz ü About cruise itinerary in Milford Sound: www.southerndiscoveries.co.nz

SWEDEN

Contemplate the Aurora Borealis in Kiruna

A

s one of the few countries with prime locations to see the Aurora Borealis, Sweden appeals to a large number of travelers during final months of year - the best time to “catch” the Aurora Borealis. The miraculous lights appearing in the sky of Northern Europe used to be considered the lights from the armor of Valkyries - goddesses, warriors, and assistants of the majestic Odin, the Norse God who always sought the bravest warriors. The ethnic people believed that they are lights from the split between the earth and the heaven. No matter what the explanation is, be it the result of physical phenomena or mysterious legends, this intriguing natural phenomenon is a wonderful experience that everyone wants to have at least once in a lifetime.

One of the best places to contemplate the Aurora Borealis is Kiruna, which is as beautiful as the cities in the stories of the Brothers Grimm. In the city, Abisko National Park was considered the best destination to watch theh Aurora Borealis in Sweden with 200 light phenomena each year. From Abisko Mountain station, it takes about 20 minutes to travel by cable car to Aurora station to reach the mountain peak. Mark your unparalleled winter with a cup of hot chocolate and the magnificent scenes of light covering northwestern Sweden after midnight. Moreover, you can also stay in the ice hotel on Torne, sip a glass of fruit juice at the Ice Bar, and visit the red wooden church - one of the most beautiful architectural works in Sweden.

In Sweden, you can also conquer challenges in the white mountains of more than 200 ski grounds, go trekking in Sarek National Park, or follow hunters through snowy fields or the Lapland forest and tundra to find elk, mink, and musk. Enjoy warm mulled wine, pepparkakor, ginger cakes, bacon, and chocolate on Christmas.

STAY-IN THIS WINTER IN A RUSTIC VILLAGE Travel to Sapa and stay in distant villages instead of choosing a hotel in the center. In Ta Van, 8km from the heart of Sapa, and other surrounding villages, you can freely choose among lovely homestays to live with the H’mong people.

At Phori's House, you can choose from one of his 4 shared rooms in house 1 or stay in a private room in House 2 - Indigo freedom. Shiny and luxurious items are not the theme at Phori’s House. The resort “only” provides warm German blankets and bathrooms with hot water, to keep you this winter. Cook your delicious meal with fresh vegetables in the garden and prepare wine, tea, and clean coffee in the kitchen. If you want a change of scene, wander around your house to explore dining options, bars, foot massages, or Dao herb bathing places.

Phori's House 2 - Indigo freedom is most suitable for families or groups of 6 to 7 people. Specially designed with 4 sides of glass with wooden frames, the house offers guests a wonderful view of the terraced rice fields and year-round cloud covered mountains. All details from the curtains to the pillows are especially designed and hand-dyed by the house owner. The kitchen has all you need to prepare simple dishes. Scented candles and decorative table sheets are ready for a romantic dinner. You can do anything you want in the private space here.

There are good books to read, a speaker to listen to music, coffee, tea, wine, and notebooks to write or draw. What more could you ask for? Don’t forget to buy a few lovely souvenirs and indigo-dyed handicrafts.

Prices: Phori's House 1 - USD30/room/night for 2 people. Extra charge USD 10 for the third person. Phori's House 2 - USD79/house/2 people, extra charge USD10 for the next guests.

NAM DU,KIEN GIANG

Immerse yourself in nature On the way South, stop in Nam Du and feel the tranquility of pristine nature as well as the friendliness and hospitality of locals.

Nam Du is the most remote archipelago of Kien Hai District (Kien Giang Province), about 83km from Rach Gia City. The archipelago consists of 21 islands of various size, each boasting captivating landscapes. The smallest one is Hon Lo which is only about 200m2 while the largest one is Hon Cu Tro whose area is 9km2. Go up to the Nam Du lighthouse on Hon Lon (Cu Tron) which is 300m above sea level to view the other islands such as Hon Mau, Hon Bo Dap, Hon Ngang, Hon Dung, Hon Dau, Hon Ong, Bai Cay Men, and more.

Hon Mau’s white sand beaches - Chuong and Nam, as well as Bac, Da Den, and Da Trang beaches are each stunning in their own right. Enjoy the turquoise water or look at the colorful stones. Located near Hon Mau is Hon Dau’s dense coral reefs - an ideal place to see the ocean. Meanwhile Bai Men is the best place on the island to see the sunrise. After having fun in the water and sand, enjoy grilled seafood and cool coconuts while listening to the sea.

Further information: Time: The best time to visit Nam Du is from December to March when the sea is calm. Itinerary: Travel by car from HCMC to Rach Gia (245km) then board an express ship to Nam Du (2 hours). Recommended ships include the Ngoc Thanh, Song Hong, and Ho Hai. Accommodation: There are some guesthouses for visitors in Hon Lon. If rooms are full, you can ask locals to stay with them. Prices start at VND250,000/ room/ night. Experience: It is a great idea to visit Nam Du with a group of friends so that you can camp on the beach at night. Cuisine: garfish grilled on banana trunk, grilled scallops with spring onion oil, grilled sea porcupine with spring onion oil, oysters, squid eggs, and sour cobia soup.

Experience your cozy and unique winter with your beloved ones.

My two little nieces are giggling with each other, building their “old” snowman. However severe winter is, it brings something miraculous to little kids. They are excited to go around, showing off their colorful new winter clothes. They look like pretty bears with the wool gloves and hat that their grandmother knitted for them. And the happiness of an adult like me is watching them and seeing enjoyment sparkle in their eyes.

I love curling up in a small corner of Hanoi, sipping a cup of hot chocolate with sweet marshmallow. Just a sip can warm up your entire winter. This winter, my family is travelling to a foreign country in which winter is far different from that in Hanoi. Outside the hotel, where my children are playing, snow has already covered the entire roof, putting its white coat on the land, trees, and fields. And who doesn’t love snow? But suddenly I miss my Hanoi with bitter winds which usually chill while I am strolling down narrow streets.

Losing my train of thoughts, when I look back, the children have finished their snowman and start playing with snowflakes in various shapes. I just relax and silently take in the winter far from home.

And you, have you prepared for your winder journey? Don’t hesitate to share it with us!

The island boasts Rinjani, unspoiled diving areas, picturesque waterfalls, beautiful rails, and turquoise lakes.

Must-visit destinations in Lombok include Kuta and the northern part of the island which attracts visitors with attractions such as Mawun or Selong beaches.

With a 10km coastline, Senggigi is the most popular place in western Lombok.

It’s ideal for entertainment, shopping, and resorts. There are 3 small islands in Lombok: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air. Silence and clear water of Gili Meno’s corals make it the most beautiful and ideal for diving.

When you travel to Lombok, remember to spend time walking to the majestic Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls to immerse yourself in the cool pleasant water. On your way to the island, visit renowned craft villages such as Banyumulek, Penujak, and Masbagik or the Sukarare, Puyung, and Pringgasela weaving villages.

A paradise for diving lovers Without captivating lagoons and private beaches like El Nido or long beaches with busy restaurants like Boracay, Coron - a haven for divers - enchants visitors with its peaceful and clear lakes with white sand beaches nestled behind the mountains.

Coron is a municipality in Palawan Province whose capital is Puerto Princessa.

The town is known for the brackish Kayangan and Barracuda lakes, giant lime stones, and stunning reefs. Get on a boat and explore diverse reefs under the turquoise water. Many visitors stay in the town and book tours to visit the lagoons and go diving. 6 island hopping tours including A through E and the safaris are the most popular. When booking a tour, make sure you stop by beautiful attractions such as Kayangan Lake, CYC beach, Pass Island, Smith beach, Twin Lagoon, Skeleton Wreck, Dimanglet Island, and Malcapuya Island as well as interesting opportunities like diving and bathing in hot springs.

There are many options for accommodation, from resorts to standard and luxurious hotels. If you want to have a novel experience, you can stay in a tree house overlooking the sea at Sanctuaria Treehouse. Have fun when kayaking, diving, visiting mangroves, and partaking in other exciting activities. If you prefer staying in a camp or bungalow on a private island, Island Beach Camp is the best choice. Near the camp lies a beautiful coral reef and a large wrecked ship for divers.

Further information: Time: Dry season from December to March the next year. Itinerary: travel by ferry from El Nido to Coron (8 hours) or fly from Manila with Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines to Francisco B.Reyes Airport in Busuanga city and travel by bus to Coron.

KAKABAN,INDONESIA

Swimming in the lake of jellyfish Jellyfish are the most ancient animal species on Earth. They existed long before dinosaurs appeared hundreds of millions of years ago. Without a brain, heart, or bones, jellyfish are 90% water. As they are capable of asexual reproduction, a jellyfish you touch today can be the descendant of a jellyfish thousands of years ago.

Jellyfish contain DNA of all animal species including humans. Imagine how amazing it would be if you could swim with the “ancestor” of humans.

Well known for giant lakes with thousands of various sized jellyfish, Kakaban Island is a “dangerous” and interesting place for many people.

Everyone knows that jellyfish can sting and hurt people; however, Kakaban’s jellyfish are completely harmless. You can swim with them and touch them without worries. There are only 3 places in the world that offer you this experience.

They are Kakaban, the Togean Islands in Indonesia, and Rock Island in Micronesia.

Among them, Kakaban is the best known place with the most diverse types of jellyfish. The island has been proposed as a UNESCO world heritage site. ©Elvian Barus

Because the lakes were so long separated from the ocean by continental shift, the jellyfish in Kakaban haven’t had to worry about predators. Gradually their defense tentacles degenerated, making them harmless. What could be better than swimming in a lake of colorful jellyfish which can be held in your hand? You are not allowed to dive or use swim fins so that you don’t affect the jellyfish.

Apart from Jellyfish Lake, Kakaban has Fish Lake and beautiful beaches where you can dive with sea turtles or find the famous seahorse - pigmy. Have you chosen your destination this winter?

Further information: Itinerary: Fly from Juwutan International Airport in Tarakan, East Kalimantan to Kakaban. You can fly to Kota Kinabalu and travel by train to Takaran. From Takaran, travel by plane or train to Tanjung Redeb (Berau) and board a ship to Derawan Islands, including Kakaban.

The white sand stretching around the island and the calm Tasman Sea is ideal for families.

Another musttry experience is observing Manukan, Manutik, and Sulug Islands from the plane.

MANUKAN,MALAYSIA

TO THE HEART OF THE CAPTAINS Renowned as the precious gem of Malaysia, Manukan Island easily captures the heart of travelers, even those of captains traveling around the world.

Manukan is located about 15 minutes from Kota Kinabalu by canoe, Malaysia. The water is so clear that you can see the seafloor.

Standing on the only bridge of the island, you can easily catch sight of schools of fish swimming around the bridge’s pillars.

Manukan is a popular winter destination of visitors from cold countries. They spend the last days of the year sunbathing on the beach.

Manukan is also a world standard diving hotspot with a diversity of coral. You might encounter clownfish, sea turtles, and even small fish which attach to your skin like you are enjoying a fish massage.

Don’t miss a chance to partake in exciting activities such as canoeing, snorkeling, diving, and driving a mini-submarine to walk among the ocean inhabitants. The white sand stretching around the island and the calm Tasman Sea is ideal for families with small children. Another must-try experience is observing Manukan, Manutik, and Sulug Islands from the plane departing from Kota Kinabalu. Together these islands create a smiley face in the ocean, one of the most anticipated scenes for visitors.

Further information: ITINERARY: There isn’t a direct route from Vietnam to Konta Kinabalu; therefore, you have to transit in Kuala Lumpur. It takes about 2.5 hours to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu. You can buy tickets from Kota Kinabalu to Manukan at three harbors: Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal, Sutera Harbour Marina Jetty, and STAR Marina. TICKET: 10RM for foreign visitors

It has more interesting things to explore than the fact that no one has lost their luggage at KIX since it was opened 21 years ago.

Designed by Renzo Piano who designed the Centre Georges-Pompidou in France, KIX looks like a ship hovering in the ocean. The airport’s architectural highlight is the continuous arrangement of the main buildings and lounge gates, offering you unlimited views of the entire airport.

EXPLORE HIMEJI - THE FLYING CASTLE If you are fans of the animations of Studio Ghibli, it’s hard to forget the images of the magnificent castles in Spirited Away and The Tale of Princess Kaguya. These castles were exactly inspired by Japanese buildings. Therefore, during your 100 step journey, don’t forget to visit old buildings which store secrets within their paper windows, wooden gates, and battlements.

I for its sophisticated defense system.

visited Himeji Castle in Hyogo Province on a beautiful day. From a distance, the nearly 700 year old castle is sparkling like a flying white heron, which is why it is called White Heron Castle. In 1993, this was the first castle in Japan to be recognized by UNESCO as the World Heritage Site. Few people know that before becoming the national treasure, it was sold for just 23.5 yen (about 100 000 yen now) when the period of samurai came to an end about 150 years ago. There aren’t any nails used in this building’s construction. Instead, things are fitted together using sophisticated joining techniques, showcasing the pinnacle of precision and refinement in the calculation and construction.

Unlike other castles, Himeji retains its original design, allowing you to walk on the rough wooden floor which is hundreds of years old and touch the giant old stones. Built on the top of Himeyama hill at the height of 45.6m, Himeji is famous for its sophisticated defense system which is like a maze. When passing through the stone cellar, Masato Furukawa, my companion, pointed at a small corner and said that it was a trap. When someone takes a small stone out of the wall, a part of the castle will collapse and box him inside that corner. It’s surprising that all traps are still active.

Let’s hope that no little visitors figure this out and remove the stone!

TH§NG TIN TH£M: ü Vä tham quan thµnh Himeji: 1.000Yen/ng≠Íi lÌn & 300Yen/trŒ em ü V ä tham quan Koko-en: 300Yen/ng≠Íi lÌn & 150Yen/trŒ em (d≠Ìi 6 tuÊi Æ≠Óc mi‘n ph›) ü V ä tham quan tÊng hÓp Combination Ticket: 1.040Yen/ng≠Íi lÌn & 360 Yen/trŒ em FURTHER INFORMATION: ü Himeji Sightseeing ticket prices: 1000JPY/adult, 300JPY/child. ü K oko-en sightseeing ticket prices: 300JPY/adult, 150JPY/child, and free for children under 6. ü Combination Ticket prices: 1040JPY/adult and 360JPY/child.

Like Pokemon Apps, the Himeji Castle Great Discovery app is an excellent way to explore the historic stories there. Download the app, scan the AR boards along the way and short clips will pop up saying what happened at each place. You will have a chance to watch the story of Princess Senhime or the legend of the "Old Widow's Stone" (Ubagaishi).

You can also partake in cooking classes to make traditional Kamaboko fish cakes and Chikuwa squid rolls or enjoy Matcha in Koko-en Garden in the western section of Himeji.

The author is wandering on the street of geisha.

AND GION - THE LAST STREET OF GEISHA As beautiful as the settings of classic movies, Gion greeted me with traditional wooden houses with small bowls of salt in in front and charming girls wearing kimonos in the narrow streets. If you are lucky enough, you will meet a geisha and maiko wearing traditional kimonos and make - up like fine porcelain dolls.

Geisha, or geiko in Kansai local language, refers to artists who are trained to perform various types of art and follow strict rules of costume and communication to perform in upper class’s parties. I loved standing right at the crossroad and watching groups of people crossing the street, some men in black suits are rushing to go somewhere or a boy quickly holds his friend’s hand when the traffic light is going to change color...

As a big city, the former capital of Japan in Edo period, Kyoto, however, feels like a small town. And Gion is a signature “Kyoto” street with traditional tea houses, lattice doors, Gion Minamiza Theater. The expensive

Hanamikoji road with machiya restaurants is a place to enjoy luxurious kaiseki ryori parties. Immersing yourself in the crowd strolling down Gion street is a special experience.

About 8 minutes from Gion on foot is the Fujukuen tea factory in Uji. My friend told me that that it is the most famous and oldest one (226 years) in Kyoto. A middle aged tea master welcome us and they showed me how the Japanese respect simplicity, from the tea bowls with patterns representing the 4 seasons to the suitable way of stirring tea and temperature of water to make tea. In Uji culture, the concept of enjoying tea is known as the garden in the sky, based on the Shichu-no-Sankyo spirit of the tea ceremony. In these final days of the year, why don’t you travel to this city, spend a tranquil day enjoying a bowl of matcha, and contemplate peaceful nature by your side? * Shichu-no-Sankyo: a phrase which evokes a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos.

Save hundreds of dollars during your trip in Japan with: ü Kansai One Pass: the powerful card for visitors to Kansai only.

It allows you to freely travel by express train (JR), subway, train, and bus around Kansai. There is no expiration date for the card; therefore, save it for your next trips.

The card also gives you numerous privileges when buying souvenirs in duty-free shops at Kansai International Airport and buying tickets at famous destinations. ü Kansai Wide Area Pass: a great choice for a journey through 8 destinations Osaka - Hyogo - Kyoto - Nara - Wakayama - Shiga - Fukui - Okayama. It allows you to travel

by Haruka (Kansai Airport Express), local train, Shinkasen Express, and Limited Express Train at the price of 9000JPY (sold in Japan) or 8500JPY (sold in other countries). ü Kintetsu Rail Pass: the pass to travel to Osaka - Kyoto - Nara - Ise Shima - Nagoya by Kintetsu train in 1; 2 or 5 days at respectively prices of 1,500JPY - 2,000JPY - 3,800JPY/ adult and 750JPY - 1,000JPY - 1,900JPY/ child. Particularly, the 5,860JPY pass includes express train tickets, vouchers for two turns to KIX or Chubu Central Airport, and free use of the bus for 5 days.

t’s said that Japan is the country with the most appreciation for nature in the world.

Japanese people are attentive and create excellent tools to listen to the sounds of water, smell the winds, and feel the sunshine. There is one shrine I love with bamboo planted near a well. Just put the bamboo to your ear andlisten to the sounds da dee da as the water “sings” its song in the well. How magical it is!

Kobe in Kansai is known to most visitors as a harbor city, but for me, the mountains are its most special gifts. As a part of a mountain range stretching along the southeast behind Kobe, the Rokko Mountains, with its highest mount - Rokko Saikoho at the height of 931m, is a wonderful place to contemplate the beauty of nature. Silently stand on the peak for hours and feel the city changes its appearance after sunrise or peer over to Osaka’s islands far away. Here, you should visit the herb gardens, museums, and hot springs. You might as well try skiing if you’re here during winter.

Skiing from Gangwon-do to... Seoul Lasting from November to February, winter in Korea is drier and colder than in tropical countries like Vietnam. The temperature is always under 0 degrees, and even drops down to -6 degrees in January. Upon the first snowflakes falling on the mountains, ski resorts are eager to welcome visitors from around the world. With the most annual snowfall, Gangwon-do is home to the most ski resorts in Korea, though many great resorts are situated just outside Seoul, allowing for quick and convenient ski trips.

Gangwon-do Tucked away in the mountains at about 700m above sea level, Alpensia Resort is known for its excellent snow quality and sweeping views of the majestic Daegwallyeong Mountain Range. The resort offers 6 slopes with various courses for skiers at different skill levels and can accommodate up to 3,000 people. As the main venue for the Pyeonchang 2018 Winter Games Olympics, Alpensia Resort has recently been the subject of buzz across the nation and within the international sports community. Don’t miss the chance to witness and experience the special completion venues as well as facilities equipped for the upcoming Olympics.

nighttime skiing. It has become a favorite destination for young skiers with exciting slope names such as Hip-Hop, Techno, and Funky. Some of more advanced slopes are designed with unexpected twists and turns for maximum thrills. For those who are new to the sports, Daemyung Vivaldi Park Ski World provides the perfect setting to safely enjoy skiing and snowboarding.

All you need to do is choose the suitable slopes and work your way up to the more advanced courses.

Adjacent to an oak forest, Oak Valley Snow Park is smaller than most ski parks in Korea. As a result, it offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and ski slopes free from the usual crowds.

It is also one of the best parks for snowboarders because there is plenty of space to try new maneuvers.

Does snow sleep in Korea?

Winter in Korea is never boring as snow and ice are the main characteristics of the country’s unparalleled winter festivals.

T

he Taebaeksan Snow Festival with a large snow sculpture exhibition at Dangol Square will greet you with ice sculptures and a range of other winter-themed art. Take photos of your family, especially your little angels, with the sparkling ice works and share memorable moments by partaking in the light & ice festival around Hwangji Pond where the beautiful world of ice lights compete with the shining stars in the sky. In addition, a number of interactive programs such as sledding, dog sledding, and fun activities will be held during the festival period.

The Taebaeksan Snow Festival will be the best winter destination providing worthwhile memories for adults and children alike.

While fishing in autumn is popular in Oriental literature as a peaceful pastime, fishing in Korea during winter is distinct and exciting as thick layers of ice cover the rivers and lakes. Are you ready to wade in cold water and catch fish by hand or make a small hole in the ice and relax while waiting for fish? Visit

Korea and join the two unique festivals, Hwacheon Sancheoneo and Inje Icefish! Icefish fanatics can sample icefish for free and even participate in an ice-fish eating competition. Otherwise, you can bowl on the ice, play ice soccer, and even have a tug-of-war on the ice.

Relax in the bitter season If skiing on white mountains or partaking in winter snow festivals doesn’t interest you, then pick your own way of enjoying the season by visiting famous winter destinations in Korea. While Jeongdogjin offers couples the most romantic sunrise, Daegwallyeong Samyang

Ranch is Asia's largest highland’s farm. Here, you can witness dairy cows feeding in the vast meadow.

Another attractive destination is the Gyeongpo Provincial Park with Gyeongpo Lake, which is not only home to swans and mallards but also the Gyeongpo Beach - one of the cleanest beaches on the East Coast. Stroll down along the beach at sunset, stop at a restaurant serving fresh seafood when cold winds start blowing, and make your trip memorable.

Have you arranged your schedule yet? No matter where you visit, where you will stay, and which activities will do, your experience in Korea this winter will be truly unforgettable.

FOR ME, WINTER GIVES US THE BEST SENSE OF HOW WE SHOULD LIVE OUR LIVES. IN THE OPEN SNOW, DO WE NEED LUXURY TO ENJOY OURSELVES?

One of my lecturers in France shared that he always waited for winter to... sleep! Winter is his favorite time, tuning out the outside world, curling in a secret corner, and sleeping without fear of anyone bothering. “Sleep freely to compensate for the mornings when the brain continuously fought against fatigue!”

My friend Charlotte talks about winter lovingly, though her winter hobbies (as a girl from a tropical country) make me shiver.

She enjoys reading books on snowcovered mountains in the majestic Alps every morning. Imagine reading a book on the mountain when the first rays of sun gradually illuminate the white land. How amazing!

A

nd of course, you know that it takes half a day for tourists to reach your world. Faraway from Alsace, Charlotte drives about 5 hours to her hostel in Combloux village every year. She has become so familiar with this place that she knows every neighbor, road, and

126

TRAVELLIVE

restaurant there. And, no matter where we are in that region, she can tell a few stories about the place.

While Charlotte must travel far to enjoy her winter, Cathy - another friend of mine - likes staying at her home in a quiet village near the Jura mountains on the Swiss border.

Cathy chooses to stay in a remote area because her family doesn’t have a chance to go out in the bitter cold weather. It’s a great way for them to spend time together before her children grow up and move far away.

That doesn’t surprise me coming from Cathy as she is the most caring

French woman I’ve met.

Whenever she hears that I’m returning to Vietnam, she always prepares small gifts for the orphanage I often visit. Sometimes she gives me a suitcase full of surplus toothbrushes and toothpaste from her dental clinic. Sometimes the gifts are colorful pens and small bags she has made. From our first meeting, Cathy has taught me how to make my first macarons with the message “No matter how busy you are, spend time making cakes for your husband and kids on the weekend!”

FURTHER INFORMATION: EXPERIENCES: ü A favorite of visitors and inhabitants in Paris is to visit famous shopping centers to watch the glass displays during the festive season.

Printemps Haussmann, Galeries Lafayette, BHV, and le Bon Marchä are some of them. Behind vivid glass window-panes are the latest collections and interesting characters.

MUST-TRY EUROPEAN WINTER CUISINE: ü Foie gras is one of the most popular dishes for French families on special occasions. This dish is fatty but not cloying. Foie gras is best served with bread or sautäd with fruit sauce and baked green apples. ü Mulled wine is a favorite drink of Europeans, especially Germans. You can savor a cup of fragrant spicy mulled wine with oranges, cinnamon, anise, and cloves at the Christmas fairs.

The farther from Europe I live, the luckier I feel for having had these wonderful friends, having been close to them and enjoying each moment of winter there. After all, life can take the people I love or force us out of the familiar places; however, the happy moments we shared will stay forever. I remember my first Christmas tree was a 50cm plastic pine tree.

The three of us living together saved money to buy it from a Kruidvat thrift shop. At that time, for students like us, watching TV with a cup of hot chocolate and marshmallows was luxurious, not to mention having a Christmas tree in house.

The grey sky reminded me about the scene in Wuthering Heights, a famous novel

by Emily Brontë.

One year later, I decided not to waste 20Euro on a plastic tree but create my own with books. Oprah: A biography by Kitty Kelley, 608 pages, was used as the trunk. Thinner ones were set on top as an invitation to passersby saying, “Hey, read me please, I’m so thin.”

Do you feel that you’ve read enough books? Or do you need more motivation to read all the books you have bought already? Why don’t you “plant” a Christmas tree like me? After that, set a deadline of one year to “harvest” it before you “plant” another the next year. I love considering these books as surprising gifts hang on the Christmas tree. They urge me to tear all the wrap paper away to figure out what they are. On the other hand, they tell us to be patient and wait until midnight.

Winter is intriguing because it brings us something to look forward to.

Wait for the dances of light when you are walking along the sparkling streets. Listen to the Galeries Lafayette shopping mall tell its fairy tales behind the glass. Wait to catch the scent of chestnuts in the town’s square.

Wait to laugh out loud with to friend’s jokes while enjoying fondue Comtoise (cheese hot pot in Franche-Comtä). Wait to sip a homemade apple cider the store owner who can’t remember our name among the thousands of visitors at the Christmas fair. And, wait to be with your loved ones, like other people, dating through winter.

Taking place every november, the pushkar festival is the world’s largest camel festival for exchanging and trading camels, displaying the unique desert culture of Rajasthan, India.

ajasthan is the land of deserts, fortresses, and camels. You will be impressed by the names of its cities: the Pink city (Jaipur), Yellow city (Jaisalmer), Blue city (Jodhpur), and White city (Udaipur). As a western state in India and sharing the border with Pakistan, Rajasthan has always been on my list of destinations in India; however, the Pushkar camel festival was a surprising experience to me.

I had never given much thought to camels before my friend, a photographer, told me about the festival. Immediately enchanted by what she said, I decided to go. I had just planned to explore Pushkar for 3 days, but couldn’t escape from the attractive Rajasthan. We traveled around from the East to the West and ended our trip in the most important destination - Pushkar.

renowned international photographers flock to the city with their equipment.

Sometimes, I noticed that they were embarrassed, wondering which cameras and lens should be used.

Pushkar is a small city to the east of Rajasthan, 50km from Ajmer - the capital of Rajasthan. To Hindu devotees, Pushkar is a sacred pilgrimage place since this tiny city is home to hundreds of temples of various sizes. Pushkar Lake is a holy place where devotees wash their heads and body after worship. Cameras are strictly prohibit there.

While Hindu devotees travel to the city for sacred purposes, Pushkar is popular with photographers thanks to its unparalleled camel festival. During this occasion, both famous domestic and

Before visiting the camel ground, I hadn’t imagined that I would see that many camels. Hundreds of thousands of camels from around Rajasthan converge to this single place. Many of them come from remote areas and take a month to travel to Pushkar.

Upon entering to the camel ground and the area from which they lead their camels to join the festival, I was mesmerized. Camels were everywhere!

Even when I focused on taking pictures of one camel, I nearly pumped another camel from behind. How interesting it is that they use make up for their camels before selling them to attract more customers. Some camels are even decorated with lovely draws, flowers, and nose rings!

Actually, what impressed me most about the festival were the people there. I had a chance to learn more about people living in deserts of colorful Rajasthan.

Ngo Nu is a young writer living and working in Hanoi.

She loves reading books, travelling, and writing blog.

I hadn’t seen any animals as calm as camels. Their faces and manners encapsulate the spirit of the desert - simple and tough. I could spend hours watching camels and listening to the chatter of merchants to know how they select and bargain for camels. Everything was calm and quiet.

If you want to know what a gentleman in Rajasthan looks like, imagine a traditional turban, curved mustache, and the firm gait when he is walking his camels. At that time, you will understand how simple and tough their desert spirit is!

Rajasthan is the culmination of a golden age developing in the harsh desert. The land is arid, but daily life is not boring. You won’t find any dull colors in the painting of Rajasthan. Life is as simple and vivid as the traditional costume and turbans people wear every day.

The Pushkar camel festival is the first one in India that is not for any particular deity. The festival is for camels and their owners only.

Camels are the soul of the desert and the god of Rajasthan’s remote sandy lands.

ü During the Hindu festival, restaurants in Pushkar serve only vegetarian food.

ü Those who love photography should get up earlier (4 - 5am) to travel to the camels ground. This is the best time to take photos of numerous camels. Late afternoon is also a suitable time. (Remember to bring tripod). ü No camera around the Pushkar Lake. It’s prohibited. ü Spend a day walking around Pushkar, you will find an array of Rajasthan - style items.

ctually, what impressed me most about the festival were the people there. I had a chance to learn more about the people living in the deserts of colorful Rajasthan. The color of the sand blended with the camels, and the scene of camels walking around made the sand fly in the afternoon light to create fantastic blurred visual effects. It felt more like an oil painting or a scene from mythology than like taking photographs. Perhaps, this is why the festival attracts a large number of photographers. What an excellent combination of light, the calm of camels, and spirit of the desert!
