Yesterday morning, I received a Facebook message from Mon - the owner of J No 14, where I stayed when visiting Bangkok. Mon reminded me to come back to celebrate Christmas and enjoy this festive season with him and his family. As usual, J No 14 will not open to welcome new guests between December 24th and New Year’s Eve. During that week, J No 14 will be a place for old friends who have stayed there to reunite. Whenever sharing about this special occasion, Mon always gets excited and his eyes are sparkling with joy. Once when listening to him, I just joked that he looked like a little boy with two Christmas balls dangling from his ears.

When you read this letter, there is only one week left, and perhaps the atmosphere of Christmas has covered J No 14. Clusters of coniferous and poinsettia have been tied up on the main door with hundreds of led string lights. Pots of fern hovering overhead have been adorned with charming red and white ribbons. And what about lovely little puppies of Mon’s mother? Maybe they are wearing small red and white hats like those of Santa Claus and pretty bows are on their neck. These cute things make me miss J No 14 so much. Of course, I am going to come back Bangkok this Christmas to immerse myself in such special atmosphere with Mon, his family and his friends from around the world. And you, are you ready for your special plans on Christmas and New Year to release all stress and tiredness during the year? An exciting journey or an intimate space with memorable moments? Do not hesitate to share with us. We wish you a warm and cozy year-end holiday with tons of fun!

As a harmonious combination of contemporary art and local culture, Le Märidien Saigon bears the true distinctions of Saigon. The hotel is located just some steps from Saigon river. This is also the reason why up to 80% furnishing items in the hotel are related to the river. They are the familiar images of small boats and sails, paper fishes, rustic houses on riverbanks and paper cranes, the Oriental symbol for luck and prosperity. It’s quite surprising when seeing familiar names such as Saigon, Khanh Hoi, Tan Thuan, Hiep Phuoc and Ben Nghe which represent the banquet and conference rooms here. Le Märidien Saigon also offers the Unlock Art, a program in which hotels and resorts of Le Märidien cooperate with leading culture centers in areas they are present to organize events to help visitors explore interesting things about their destinations. Fusion style with various delicious dishes is one of the hotel’s strengths. At Bamboo Chic Restaurant, guests will have an opportunity to enjoy a unique and classy fusion cuisine with the perfect combination of two great cuisines, Chinese and Japanese. Your Christmas night would be greater with wok fried Udon noodles with Canadian lobster and miso braised beef cheek with caramelized onion. Seared scallop is a clever combination of ingredients and cooking techniques from China and Japan with European and US highlights.

Traditional Japanese Kaiseki and Osechi party While Vietnamese people consider banh chung, banh tet and dua hanh the indispensable dishes during Tet holiday, for Japanese people, Osechi is their must-have dishes on the first days of year. Osechi is brief name of Osechi ryori or Oshougatsu ryori. They include soup prepared by Omochi (sticky rice) and other different ingredients such as stewed vegetablesand pickled and grilled dishes. Meanwhile, a Kaiseki menu will also offer you perfect dining experiences this season. The most popular one is tuna. Side dishes are steamed with ginger, tea and onions, making you feel warmer. For those who love Japanese cuisine, the traditional Kaiseki menu for Christmas and Osechi for New Year holiday includes 10 dishes: sake, beef rolls with lobster, duck meat served with mizuna, stewed prawn with kuwai and bamboo sprout, grilled Japanese crab with sasa leaves and carrot radish rice cakes. Japanese people believe that eating Osechi on the first days of year will bring them happiness. Normally, Kaisechi and Osechi menus are not found on the daily menus of Japanese restaurants. They are only offered during the Christmas period (from 22nd to 26th December), on New Year’s Eve and on the two first days of the new year. Therefore, it’s is a special chance for you to enjoy truly signature Japanese festive cuisine right in the heart of Saigon. Yoshino Restaurant ü 2nd floor, Lotte Legend Saigon Hotel

EGYPT: “Kol Sana We Enta Tayeb!” In Egypt, Christmas is celebrated on January 7th. Meanwhile, festive New Year activities take place in summer, around July when high tides bring water and fertile alluvial to land. New Year’s Eve here is not organized on any fixed date, but depends on the Nile River’s tide. Nowadays, although they can predict the Wepet Renet Day - “The opening day of year” thanks to advanced technology, Egyptians still wait for the first crescent moon. This signal informs that the floating season has just started and people begin celebrating New Year when they receive the official statement from the main temple. At that time, Egyptians will happily say “Kol Sana We Enta Tayeb!” The New Year celebration in Egypt derives from a legend that Apollo saved mankind by making the War God, Sekhmet, drunk when she was planning to destroy humanity. Egyptians express their gratitude by holding a festival that is full of music, food, sweets and drinks. When travelling to Egypt these days, you will see people giving each other talismans as a blessing for the New Year. Making noise is the way locals enjoy festive activities. The sounds of music, drums, trumpets and petards help them to remove the devils of the old year and welcome happiness in the new one. If you visit Egypt on major holidays such as Christmas and New Year, do not forget to try “Fattah” - a traditional cuisine including rice, lamb with tomato sauce and hot crispy cakes at the bottom. In particular, bread is considered a specialty of Egypt with more than 15 different types. Sweet-lovers will be enchanted by the paradise of delicious sweets such as Ghrayeba (Egyptian butter cookies and fresh cream with Khoshaf). Do not forget to buy traditional cakes for your children: young equestrian shaped cakes for boys and cakes in the shape of a girl wearing colorful costumes for girls. TRAVELLIVE

FRANCE - Christmas Fairs
O
ne of the most attractive activities for visitors coming to France during this celebration is going shopping at Christmas fairs. Christmas fairs or Marchä de Noel are an indispensable tradition for French people. Each fair features its own historic story and is designed in a distinguished style. While Strasbourg fair is more than 400 years old, Lille market is well known for antiques. Nearly 25 large and small flea markets take place in the last months of year. You can visit numerous booths and shop for thousands of products from traditional foods such as cheese and sweets, to clothing, jewelry and crafts. Even, if you do not want to buy much, it will be a great experience: walking around wooden
houses, tasting hot wine, savoring a piece of ginger cake or enjoying hot sausages. The most impressive thing in France these days is the Le Räveillon party, which usually take place through midnight. Its name means “wake up”. People enjoy Le Räveillon after coming back home from the church and the responsibility of dishes is to awaken family members. French people never worry about spending too much money on Le Räveillon. You will often find expensive dishes such as caviar, foie gras, lobsters, oysters, roast turkey, escargots, salmon and lamb ribs on their banquet table. At least 13 desserts are waiting for you when you explore the Le Räveillon party. The number 13 represents Jesus and his 12 apostles. It’s quite easy to understand why a Le Räveillon can last until 6am in the next morning.

Prepare foods for Oshogatsu - the New Year holiday is one of the most special customs in Japan. Like Christmas in the Europe, Oshogatsu is the time for family. Women usually buy Bento boxes, specially named Osechi Ryori because they do not cook during the days of Oshogatsu. Osechi is prepared meticulously; therefore, they are quite expensive. The average price is about 18,000 to 27,000 Yen/box. The custom of eating Osechi started during the Heian period (794-1185). Each dish in Osechi Ryori features a distinct meaning for the New Year. Daidai tangerine is a blessing for children whereas Datemaki (egg rolls) look like books representing knowledge. While, Konbu seaweed brings happiness (Yorokobu means happiness in Japanese), Kuromame black soy is a wish of health and peacefulness. At the same time, yellow Kurikinton (mashed sweet potatoes) symbolizes prosperity. Generally, each Osechi Ryori box consists of 19 different dishes. The indispensable dishes are Ebi lobsters which look like old men, the symbol of longevity, and red Tai fish representing good things. One more special thing you should do in Japan is smashing Mochi Kagami (a kind of Japanese rice cake) on December 29th - the day of sadness. This custom is considered the way of defeating troubles. Smashed cakes will be reused to make smaller mochi cakes, eaten in the new year. In Vietnam, people often hang lucky envelopes and decorate apricot and peach trees. In Japan, they decorate another special tree named Kadomatsu. It is made from bamboo tubes and pine needles. Kadomatsu means “pine gate”. Kadomatsu is said to be the place where Kami, the god who controls crops, lives. A couple of Kadomatsu trees are displayed on the two sides of the main door, making the signature image of Japan in the first days of the year. TRAVELLIVE

NEW ZEALAND: Surfing to welcome Christmas - in summer It’s extremely interesting that locals in New Zealand welcome Christmas by surfing and enjoying BBQ in summer. Because New Zealand is located on the southern hemisphere, its winter lasts from June to August and its summers lasts from December to February of the next year. Therefore, don’t be surprised if you see Santa Claus surfing on the sea.
I
n this weather, people in New Zealand like drinking cold beer, eating BBQ outdoors instead of enjoying familiar turkey and hot chocolate like in the winter. The entire family will go for a picnic on beach and go surfing before coming back home and celebrating Christmas Eve with a banquet of BBQ in the evening. A “Kiwi Christmas” party in New Zealand is a blend of traditional foods such as grilled meat and a Yule log with new dishes such as pudding, custard and salad. Traditional Christmas trees are replaced by Pohutukawa (Kiwi Christmas tree) with red flower bunches, which look like vivid balls. For inhabitants of New Zealand, a authentic Kiwi Christmas celebration must consist of two parts, namely sunbathing on the beach and having dinner under the shade of a Pohutukawa. Travelers visiting New Zealand these days will be welcomed with Hongi - unique nose kisses of the indigenous Maori culture. By rubbing noses together, they believe that they can touch the other’s soul through breath. After that, the guest is no longer a stranger but becomes a part of the community. In New Zealand, there is a custom which is similar to the x´ng Ɔt one in Vietnam. They wait for the first person to visit their house on the first day of the year. If he is a tall person with black hair, the family will have good luck through the year.

slowliving Someone says we should learn to eat slowly to taste the sweet of rice, learn to walk slowly to see trees on the roadside change their fall color and learn to live more slowly to feel loves by my side..." Why don't you slow down your life to feel more and to love more? From the December issue, Travellive would like to introduce "Slow living formula" for you to find tranquility in this bustling world, [SLOW LIVING] + FORMULA I DECEMBER
"WARM CAKES" and "AROMATIC WINE" GINGER BISCUITS Ingredients: - 3 tablespoons golden sugar - 6 tablespoons white sugar - 200g unsalted butter - 2 teaspoon cinnamon powder - 2 teaspoon ground ginger - 100ml milk - 200g wheat flour Mix brown sugar, butter, white sugar, cinnamon powder, and ground ginger and wheat flour in a large bowl to make a dough. Roll the dough on a flat surface to about 5mm thick. Shape the resulting dough into your favorite shapes. Preheat the oven to 350F. Spread stencil on a baking tray, put shaped cakes on the stray. Put the baking tray into the oven for about 15 minutes. You can eat cakes right after they are baked or decorate them with fresh cream.
MULLED WINE Ingredients: - 2 oranges - 1 lemon - 50ml syrup - 5 clove buds - 5 branches of star anise - 3 cinnamon sticks - 800ml red wine, 200ml white wine - 50ml water Slice lemon and orange into thin pieces, bring to boil with 50ml water, clove bubs, star anise and 2 cinnamon sticks. When the mixture boils, add red wine, white wine, syrup and mix well. Increase heat and cook for 5-8 minutes. Pour wine in a glass bottle and enjoy with ginger biscuits and other cakes.
7pm on Friday, after three weeks full of business trips and deadlines for the publication for festive season, I decide to back home when most tasks are completed. The only thing I want this time is throwing myself on bed, hoping a good sleep can help me soothe all tufts of nerves which has been working at full capacity during the last few weeks. "You look so tired as if you haven't eat anything for a long time". It's is the first sentence Z. talk to me after kissing on my forehead. I walk into our apartment and immediately realize the aroma of cheese, the mentholated scent of wine and the fragrant of oranges, lemons and herbs. "What are you doing at home now? This pine tree and Christmas balls, where did you get them?" "This noon, I came to the bakery on ground floor. You know what, they are playing Merry Go Around and White Christmas and selling various Christmas cakes. Just so aromatic! Then when I left my office, I decided to buy all these things. You remember our first Christmas, don't you?" Ginger biscuits and mulled wine! That was the first time we cooked together. That Christmas Night, we climbed up to the roof, crooned White Christmas, ate cakes and drank wine before sleeping on the roof until feeling cold because cold dew absorbed through our thin blanket. Up to now, having visiting many countries and tasting thousands of wine, for me, the wine cooked by him that Christmas Night has always been the most wonderful drink. We have been married for years. On special occasions, we usually give each other interesting presents, some of which from our business trips. However, the hustle and bustle life makes me forget that "warm cakes" and "aromatic wine" are the best things he looks forwards to. Smooth wheat flour, sweet sugar, greasy yellow cheese, fragrant cinnamon, spicy ginger... Cakes in the shape of small pine trees and tiny bells are getting bigger over their brown crust in the oven. In the glass bottle set on the dining table, hot wine is steaming with smoke. The red color of wine highlights the beauty of yellow slices of lemon and orange. Our room is full of the sweet flavor of cakes and the scents of cinnamon, cardamom and clove bud from the wine. Z. has helped me slow down my busy life. I will cancel all my appointments. Tomorrow, I will work at home with our own oasis of slow living, watch Christmas balls sway on the Christmas tree near the door and celebrate early Christmas with my clumsy chef, who are managing with lovely cakes.

1. LOCALLY BREWED HIROSHIMA SAKE - OUTSIDE IN
1 day 12 hours 45 minutes
urious about the Daiginjo Gold Kamotsuru Sake bottle, which Prime Minister Shinzo Abe chose for US President Obama at their meeting, I immediately head off to the Kamotsuru Sake Brewing Company in Hiroshima - "The Sake Town" of Japan. The Kamotsuru Sake Brewing Factory is located in a small street. Its walls are decorated white and filled with square frames knitted together. From the outside, you can see the very typical architecture of a Japanese Sake Brewery and smell the slight fragrance of sweet rice in early winter. Locally brewed Hiroshima Sake, with its rich flavor from the bounteous natural surroundings, is highly popular even among Japanese Sake connoisseurs. It is a precious experience to visit a local brewery and sample the world of fine sake. For the Japanese, Sake is not just a beverage, but also a spiritual drink that connects people with the Divine. You will surely find a range of sake barrels filling every corner of the shrine since
BEING A WANDERLUSTER IN HIROSHIMA Text: Phan Cac Truc - Photos: Qing
"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home." - Edith Sitwell. And yes, if you come to Hiroshima this December, you will find a homely city with warming Sake, mouth-watering Okonomiyaki, and very tempting newly-baked Momiji cake.
Japanese people believe this pure liquid is the best gift to dedicate their gods. Drinking Sake thus becomes a tradition at major events such as Seijin Shiki - the ceremony of maturity and SansanKudo - the wedding ceremony. As a Japanese proverb says "All of life's milestones, together with Sake." After seeing how Japanese people make their Sake, I could understand

why back then Sake was merely for the aristocrats and shrines, and only served during big festivals. Brewing Sake is such a meticulous process! Fine water and fine rice are the two main factors contributing to great Sake. In Kamotsuru Brewery, people use Geibi-Nishiki rice, which was once thought to be extinct from the map of Japanese rice. Geibi-Nishiki is great for producing Sake with a deep and fullbodied flavor. The rice will be polished up to 50% to remove the protein coat outside; therefore, the starch inside will absorb water faster and have better fermentation later. After that, rice will be brought to steam at an exact temperature. It is totally different from the way we prepare rice at home by mixing it with water and boiling it. Brewers force giant clouds of steam through the bottom of a vat (koshiki). They explained, "This method gives the rice a sense of firmer consistency." Then pure yeast and mold (koji) are added to start the fermentation. While you can simply make wine by putting the grapes in barrels and letting the yeast works its way through the fruit, if you want to ferment rice for Sake, you have to divide steamed rice up, and spread them out to make sure every grain would reach the right temperature for yeast activation.
to epitomize the concept of Sake-nSeafood.
slowly at low temperature over time, resulting in refined and rounded Sake. This is why winter is the ideal time to visit Sake breweries. During winter, you can smell the brewed rice wine in big tanks, each brewing yeast will bring out different scents of banana, apple and chestnuts. No matter how meticulous the brewing process may be Sake is one of the most "comforting" drinks in the world just because it pairs well with a massive variety of foods in both Eastern and Western meals. It becomes a headache for a French Sommelier to think what kind of wine to pair with what kind of dish, yet a Japanese Okan - ban takes it easy with only Sake. Do you want something to complement sushi, caviar, oysters, or Sea urchin roe (Uni's egg)? Just get Sake! If you pair red wine with urchin roe, believe me, you will never ever want to come back to this dish. Fresh sea urchins roe rarely fails
Come to think of it, what would be the best way to drink Sake? Is a hot steaming cup the way to go, or an iced chilled glass? In ancient times, once married, the girl would be taught how to properly warm Sake for different seasons and different types of foods. Now you can enjoy it under a wide range of temperature. Cold Sake is strangely charismatic to me as if I can feel more of the mineral springs used to make Sake. Another interesting point about Sake: it never becomes ridiculously pricey like wine, vodka or whiskey can. Daiginjo class sake (a very refined kind) such as Daiginjo Gold Kamotsuru may cost less than 50 USD for a big bottle. This is because Sake is drunk "young" shortly after production. No one will buy Sake to "hide" it in the wine storage, but to enjoy the flavor with their family and friends. *** Sommelier: French word for wine stewards who are knowledgeable about wine, and normally work in fine restaurants *** Okan-ban: Japanese word for Sake stewards who specialize in all aspects of sake service as well as sake and food pairing. This career has almost disappeared in Japanese society nowadays.
Of course, many following stages such as pressing, filtering, pasteurizing and aging are done to create the world's finest grade of Sake. At Kamotsuru Sake Brewing Company, brewers pass down the traditional Hiroshima brewing style using soft water: they ferment rice TRAVELLIVE

OKONOMIYAKI - HOW TO EAT LIKE A LOCAL? n Japan, there are very few or almost no restaurants, bars, pubs or caf채 houses with open spaces like in Vietnam. Most of them are either secreted in a corner or modestly in subway stations such as Michelin sushi Restaurant of chef SukiyabashiJiro in Tokyo and Okonomiyaki restaurant which I was about to visit in Hiroshima. When a local friend excitedly took me upstairs, I had no idea there was such a delicious Hiroshima Okonomiyaki restaurant here. Wanna dig deeper into Hiroshima soul food? Let's have Okonomiyaki - "Grill whatever you like". This unique cuisine can be traced back to the AzuchiMomoyama period, when children's favorite snacks were wheat dough rolled thin, grilled, and topped with onions. When rice became scarce after the war, people in Hiroshima added cabbages, eggs, soba and others then grilled them with bread for main meals. That is also the way to create Okonomiyaki today. Unlike the common Okonomiyaki style with a flour-based mixture, Hiroshima Okonomiyaki consists of layers made from different ingredients. With a history as rich as its flavor, the dish will fill you up and ensure you come back for more. Watching the chef skillfully grill your Okonomiyaki is also a pleasure for the eyes. Firstly, he will spread out the flour batter on a teppan; then gradually

add pepper, cabbage, corn, bacon, meat, soba noodles, eggs, and other spices. Don't miss the hissing sound from the teppanyaki, and the lingering fragrance of fried eggs in the air. While my friend preferred a strange flavor of Okonomiyaki with cheese and natto (fermented soy beans), I ordered the most basic recipe with "Niku-tamasoba", including pork, eggs and soba. Soba is one of reasons why I love Okonomiyaki so much. While Udon and Ramen are made entirely from wheat flour, Soba was mixed with buckwheat, which increases its nutrition and the taste of the noodles. This kind of noodles is also considered the symbol of luck. The Japanese would traditionally eat them on
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do!" When in Hiroshima, eat Okonomiyaki as the locals do: forget chopsticks and use a shovel instead. Because Hiroshima -style Okonomiyaki is quite big (approximately 20cm), you will need to use a small shovel called "hera", to cut the cake into smaller pieces. A local will directly use hera to eat Okonomiyaki instead of chopsticks, of course, it'd be pretty difficult for your first try. Still, let's have fun with hera! Speaking frankly, it's the Okonomi sauce that makes all differences. This brown sauce can blow you away with its savory, thick, and rich flavor. Made from fruits and vegetables (such as tomato, date, onion, pineapple, and apple), together with some extracts (meat extract, and yeast extract), Okonomi sauce is perfect for pouring over all types of Okonomiyaki. Before I left the table, my friend told me an interesting fact about Okonomiyaki restaurants in Hiroshima: the names of most
What good luck if you visit Hiroshima during late fall and early winter days. You will be amazed at the velvet carpets made by Ginkgo and assorted Maple leaves. The view feels like a fairy tale. Hiroshima Okonomiyaki restaurants are women's names. This stems from the years after the war with many men dead, their widows had to take over everything. When they opened the Okonomiyaki, they used their own name for the restaurant. Their names have remained after all these years even when their shops have been passed on to other owners. MOMIJI-GARI! FALL, IN LOVE On the last day in Hiroshima, I had the opportunity to experience a Japanese pleasure of "hunting autumn": Momijigari! In Canada or the United States, people wander to every corner for leaf beeping when the leaves are turning a golden rust color. Japanese people enjoy Momijigariin fall as much as they do when Hanami season (cherry blossom) comes in spring. What good luck if you visit Hiroshima during late fall and early winter days. You will be amazed at the velvet carpets made by Ginkgo and assorted Maple leaves. The view feels like a fairy tale. Derived from the Japanese word Ginkyo, which means "silver apricot", Ginkgo is considered as the link between the past and the present, the
god and the people. Little did anyone know, Ginkgo is the most ancient variety, which existed in the era of the dinosaurs: the Jurassic period 213 million years ago. It's also the only plant which remained alive after the atomic bomb in Hiroshima during World War II. Ginkgo leaves are adored by many people because of their unique propeller shape with beautiful veins radiating out into the leaves blade. From the Edo period (1600 - 1867), people had Ginkgo as salads served with vinegar. One of the best locations for autumn hunting is Miyajima Island, where Maple and Ginkgo leaves are lying around the shrine and all over the space near Hiroshima. Happiness is simply lying down on that assorted silky carpet of leaves on a chilled day. Waiting for a flight at Hiroshima airport, I accidentally wandered into Shukkeien park - one of the oldest parks in Japan. The red Maple leaves surrounded me every time the wind blew. From far away, I could see some couples hand-in-hand slowly walking through Shukkeien. Under this glorious autumn maple blaze, everything has a tender sense of grace and beauty.
Yet, Momijigari season in Hiroshima is still incomplete when you haven't tasted Momiji Manju. Momiji Manju literally means "the cake of autumn". Don't forget to pamper yourself with steaming newly-baked Momiji Manju; especially when you are on the Miyajima Island, which is well-known for its plethora of autumn cakes. There are multiple choices of fillings such as red beans, white beans, matcha, cream cheese, or chocolate... My favorite is the very traditional red bean flavor - the original version of Momiji Manju from the Meiji period. Many people believed that Momiji Manju was first handmade by Takatsu Tsunesuke, a baker from Hiroshima. At the time, the first Prime Minister ItoHirobumi often paid a visit to the sacred Miyajima Island. One time by chance he saw the beautiful hands of a girl; he exclaimed that her hands were as beautiful as the maple leaves over her. Inspired by his saying, this girl asked Takatsu Tsunesuke - the baker to create a cake bearing the maple leaf. Since then the fall cake was born. And almost everyone falls for it, as a friend once said "A balanced diet is Momiji Manjucakes in both hands!"

resort allows all family members at different levels to have fun. Another recommended one is Konjiam Resort in Gwangju-si, Gyeonggido. Over 70% of its slopes are for beginners, immediate and senior skiers, making it the perfect resort for family travelers. For professional skiers and for those who love strong feeling of excitement and thrill, Muju Deogyusan in Jeollabuk-do must be on top of their list. The resort boasts the longest slope (6,1 km) and the steepest slope (70 degrees) in South Korea, promising to bring you the most exciting holiday full of challenges. Moreover, you can experience winter sports with world-class facilities at Ski Resort and Phoenix Park in Pyeongchanggun, Gangwon-do. These resorts are the two main stages for the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Alpensia Ski Resort is renowned for 6 slopes that can accommodate up to 3,000 people
to ski at once. You also have a chance to witness the beautiful nature of the Daegwallyeong Mountains. Together with Alpensia Ski Resort, Phoenix Park is preparing for the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. This resort is located in Bongyeong-myeon, a paradise for skiers. Situated at an altitude of 700m above sea level, Phoenix Park includes 21 ski slopes that meet international standards, 8 chairlifts, golf courses, hotels, swimming pools and luxurious shopping centers. It could be a shortcoming if you miss Yongpyong Resort when visiting Gangwon-do. Skiers of all levels, from beginners to experts, can enjoy themselves on 31 slopes of the resorts. The chairlifts system allows visitors to reach the top of nearby mountains where they can contemplate the natural beauty of South Korea in winter.
Vibrant winter festivals Despite the cold weather with low temperature, Korean winter is never tedious. People in the land of Kim Chi spend three months in snow season hosting and taking part in an array of effervescent festivals. Fun Ski Festival, held at Yongpyong resort from midDecember to early March, is always favored by locals and foreigners. Here, all skiers can join some small contests
to receive special gifts from the organizing board. Another interesting festival is Go - Go Ski at High 1 Resort, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do. However, this festival mainly focuses on serving Southeast Asian visitors with ski school programs for different levels of expertise and promotions for traditional Korean culture. In January, Hwacheon Sancheoneo stream completely freezes, informing the time of Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival. Many people flock to this place to punch tiny holes in the ice for trout fishing. Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival is one of the world’s four biggest winter event, attracting over 1 million visitors each year. Moreover, locals and foreigners can join more than 60 leisure activities: barehanded fishing, ice soccer, ice sledding and snow sledding. Besides Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival, the two other interesting ones are Inje Icefish Festival and Mt. Taebaek Snow Festival held on late January. They are the chances for Korean families gather and enjoy the cold yet vibrant atmosphere of winter.

I started searching for information about this pristine mountain. To make it clearer, we came to the site and asked locals living around there. On dirt roads, we tramped to the villages of the ethnic Dao people in Den Sang with the small houses of Ha Nhi and ones in Chung Chai, Phan Can Su and Phin Ho before meeting Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Mong residents in Ngai Cho village, Y Ty commune. We are familiar with friendly Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Mong people, who are good at trekking, and the wonderful beauty of Y Ty. However, the journey to Lao Than is memorable in a new way.
From Ha Noi, we traveled to Sapa by coach. Sapa greeted us with her tranquil and picturesque beauty of vaporous dew and sluggish clouds above the lake. Right after leaving O Quy Ho and following the route connecting Xeo village, Ta Giang Ping, Muong Hum and Den Sang, we had the chance to immerse ourselves in the clouds. We met our two funny guides - A Ho and Lu in the center of Y Ty and started preparing luggage with rice, vegetable, chicken, pork and thousands of other things for the long days of trekking. We approached the mountain foot from an old airport of the French colonial period in Phin Ho. We went through unwinding hills of imperata cylindrical grass. Some natural trails are so flat as if they are covered by large white stone. A strange layer of white dust covers some paths. Ho shared that in the rainy season, villagers often graze cattle in this area, making it an immense grassland.

Although they cannot understand our language of Kinh ethnic, they are friendly and happy to take photos with us. They were on the way to forest to collect some kinds of leaves. One shown us the precious medicinal plant that she had taken. Then, our guide told us they called it Sinh Khung.
Afterwards, the terrace got more varied. We crossed meadows, bamboo forests, cardamom fields and a strange forest named Tung Cua Sin. In that forest, we found hawthorn trees with pure white flowers, “chi co” trees with bright yellow flowers and hundreds of crimson azaleas. We also met Ha Nhi ethic women wearing their traditional costumes.

From a height of 2400m and above, I crossed dry fields with burned trees. The forest here disappeared after villagers cut trees to build their houses, hunted wild animals, slashed and burned. A Ho shared that on the other side of this mountain, pristine forests still exist and are home to wild animals thanks to their remote and difficult-to-access position. Towards Den Sang, we could
see the Nhiu Co San Mountain appearing among spongy white clouds. On other side of the abyss, there are countless stones with very strange shapes. We stopped to relax and contemplate the beautiful scenery. Our guide called this stop “stone waves”. Although they have been friends with the mountains for a long time, the two guides were as excited as us when presented with the captivating beauty of nature. They even asked us to take photos for them. I’m madly passionate about clouds. Although in the opposite site - Trinh Tuong, clouds were hovering, at the stop, we could not see any sign of the cloud sea as hazes covered the entire area. We all expected to see the more
FURTHER INFORMATION: TRANSPORTATION ü From Hanoi, you can take a Hung Thanh, Hai Van or Sao Viet coach to Sapa. Then, travel by passenger bus or motorbike to Y Ty. LUGGAGE ü Bring enough warm outfits including water resistant clothes and windbreakers. Moreover, dedicated walking shoes, non-slip gloves, hiking sticks, tents and sleeping bags are must-have items. WEATHER ü In winter, the daytime temperatures in the region of Sapa, Y Ty usually range from 14-21 degrees C. In the evening and night, temperature will gradually fall to 8-16 degrees C. Particularly, when strong cold air causes rain, frost and snow, the average temperatures may drop down from -2 to 6 degrees. NOTE: ü Clouds and fog cover Sapa, Y Ty all year so the moisture here is quite high. You should pay more attention to keep your cameras safe in order to take good photos.

mysterious scenes in the following early morning when clouds would settle with dew and the cold air would blend with clouds to create a stream. We continued trekking eagerly, excited to reach the peak. At the time, we didn’t know that although we could see the peak in very near distance, we’d have to struggle with winds and rough paths of shrubs for more than 1,5 hours. At last, we stood in the flat area at the peak of Lao Than. From this position, it’s easy to enjoy the panoramic views of mountains: Bach Moc Luong Tu Mount with its mysterious green colors in the far distance, majestic Nhiu Co San and the vertical abyss toward Den Sang. My GPS measured the height at 2826m - an impressive figure. Sunset came, the sun seemed to regret leaving the blue sky and didn’t want to nestle behind the mountain. Winds were still blowing strongly. The sharp shape of Lao Than sometimes disappeared in the hovering mist. We sang the national song, spread the national flag with pride in our country, and listened to the sounds echoed in these emotional moments. Lao Than is truly an impressive journey with many memorable experiences. Goodbye to the two friendly guides, goodbye to the rough trails, goodbye to my companions with tons of memories. I will always remember Lao Than with its incredible forests, mountain winds and clouds because of my passion for exploring new lands. TRAVELLIVE

This kind of tourism seems only to be popular in Western countries; however, you can find some places in Laos to try it. One of them is Don Khone.
The phrase “unplugged travel” came to me when I attended a Tourist Communication class guided by the PR Director of the Tourism Promotion Board of Franche-Comtä, France. As the bushiest area of greenery in France, it’s no surprise that FrancheComtä was the initial region from which this new trend spread.
WHEN THE VIRTUAL WORLD IS UNPLUGGED TEMPORALLY Enthusiasts for this new tourism trend include businessmen in particular, and those who work under a great deal pressure account for the majority number. These tourists always carry modern technological devices and are surrounded with tones of worries and stress in the workplace. On arrival to the destination, you are required to switch off your devices or give them to your guides. Without the Internet and mobile connection, only you and the beauty of nature are left. The ideal place for this kind of tourism is in a deep forest where all of your activities will take place in a wooden house perched on a tree.

nplugged travel seems only to be popular in Western countries; however, you can find some tours in Laos to try. The most popular one is the “Gibbon experience”, which allows visitors to stay in tree houses overlooking the Bokeo National Park. Tourists can also be woken up in the morning by the sounds of gibbons and “fly” from their house to others through the intertwining zipline system. The “Gibbon experience” is our gift for my colleague, Servane, before she goes back to France. Mesmerized by local culture and having traveled to the most mysterious places in Laos, she is still so excited with this unparalleled experience. This is the most unique one she has had. The Bokeo National Park is where her childhood dream of being Tarzan comes true. Not having enough courage to encounter the challenge of the ziplines, I chose Si Phan Don for my own “unplugged” journey.
LAZY ON THOUSANDS OF ISLANDS Si Phan Don means “4,000 islands”. Among these islands, Don Det and Don Khone are the most popular ones. Attracting visitors with an array of services advertised on the Internet, Don Det promises to be a truly ideal destination for those who love exploring Southeast Asia. To avoid them, Julie and I decide to visit Don Khone, the last island in the South of Laos and near the Cambodian border.
Having visited many places in the land of a million elephants during one year of living here, I realize that Don Khone is the most familiar one. It bears all of distinctions of Laos mentioned in books: simple lifestyle, friendly people and absolutely quiet space. On forums, travelers around the world all recommend “Do nothing”, an exciting activity in Don Khone. Things that you should do here only include hiring a bike then riding along palm-fringed roads between colorful hibiscus fences, taking a nap on a hammock or passionately reading a novel that has not been finished after many years. No more. And Julie says that Don Khone makes her miss Hoi An a lot. Don Khone and Hoi An share many things in common with slightly slanted palm trees, winding rivers in front of thatched cottages and large, picturesque green rice fields. However, for me, there is a huge difference between them. While Hoi An features the interference of cultures, Don Khone is simple as if it has never interacted with the outside world. Actually, without locomotives, old lean-tos designed in the style of the early 21st century and the French bridge connecting Don Det and Don Khone, it’s hard to believe that this place suffered from chaos during the days of Indochina.
Having visited many places in the land of a million elephants during one year of living here, I realize that Don Khone is the most familiar one. It bears all of distinctions of Laos mentioned in books: simple lifestyle, friendly people and absolutely quiet space.

Itinerary: ü You can fly with Vietnam Airlines from Hanoi or HCMC to Vientian then take a night bus from Vientian to Paksä (about 10 hours). From there, take a bus to Ban Nakasang (2,5 hours) and then at the wharf of Ban Nakasang, travel by boat to Don Khone. Activities: ü Do not miss the chance to see Irrawaddy
The island boasts its most glamorous beauty at sunset. Not only me but also other foreign visitors are enchanted by this “specialty”. Immersing in the scent of cocktail Lao Lao (a cocktail mixed with rice wine), everyone is deep in their own thoughts, looking at fishing boats or over the Mekong River bank, where women start collecting their blankets dried on fences and lighting up their house. Another day just simply passed. The people of Laos are extremely cute. A tourism guide notes that if someday you are lost in a belvedere in a strange field, feel free to cook and enjoy your meal with the available rice, spices, cooking pots, bowls and stove. You can even harvest and take some cassava and sweet potatoes. The only thing you need to do is leave a message to inform the belvedere’s owners. Helping

someone brings them happiness. Don Khone is so picturesque that everything is real yet dreamy. Whether you’re “unplugged” or not, there is no place for any daily worries and stress. It is only the place of you and your moments of leisure.
LISTEN TO BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB AT THE END OF THE WORLD What makes me like most in Don Khone is the feeling that I’m at the end of world. But the reality is far different, no place could be more suitable to listen to Buena Vista Social Club like Don Khone. No matter where Julie and I eat diner, we end our day with cocktails at Sala Phae Restaurant which features amazing dancing music everynight. Buena Vista Social Club is not a band. It is the
dolphins when visiting Don Khone. This kind of dolphin is named after the river in Myanmar that they originated from. They are only found in three places in the world and are at risk of extinction.

name of a famous dance club in the heart of Havana, Cuba in the 1940s. After 50 years of sleeping, this club was only awakened by the accidental encounter with a famous American guitarist, Ry Cooder. The beauty of Buena Vista Social Club’s music impresses listeners with its faithfulness and symbolism. And Don Khone touches my soul with its tranquility and unique beauty. The land embraces me, allows me back to my childhood, helps me to understand myself now and urges me to refill the energy I need. I live my days at a slow, leisurely pace on Don Khone as I know that just a boat trip and a couple of hours driving, will bring me back to my busy life. The world will back to the last days of 2015 and my home is messy after the days without control, even remotely.

ussia was my childhood. I remember as a boy, embarrassingly nestling close to the protection of my mother when taking a photo in Red Square. Fifteen years since our last encounter, I was eager to return, to see how my Russia had changed after those brief but active years. The 11-day journey brought me back to the serene Volga River, picturesque villages and small wooden houses. Those 11 days offered me a gentle dream I’ve had difficulty putting into words, a unique love whose shape only I can know. Right from the very first moments when we landed at St Petersburg Airport, I realized that it was going to be the journey of a lifetime. The air was fresh and cool, the trees were adorning their autumnal dress and the locals granted us genuine and heartfelt smiles. Getting on a Esenin Cruise, taking a set of Matryoshka dolls as a welcome gift, I began a most delicious itinerary. On the first day, I wandered around to take in the gorgeous and splendid beauty of the palaces, contemplated the sophisticated patterns on the churches’ ceilings, and enjoyed scrumptious cuisines at the Russian-styled restaurants. Each destination had its own distinctions, each one bringing a new flavor of excitement. However, what most impressed my palette in St. Petersburg was the legendary

ballet “Swan Lake” performed at the Hermitage Theatre. Nothing else can compare with the captivating sounds of its orchestra paired with amazing performances by professional dancers. That night, I stayed awake with the city, strolled down the narrow streets leading to our ship and enjoyed the white night before the cruise took off down the river from St. Petersburg to Moscow. On the Volga, nights can be so utterly quiet that at times I could only hear the sounds of the ship’s engine, the gentle song of waves and the romantic melodies of love songs. All worries and sadness seemed to blow away, and I felt lost in a tranquil world. On sunny days, when the ship’s deck was cast in sunlight, I lazily lay and watched hundreds of seagulls following us or just hovering overhead. White clouds roamed in the sky, so close it was as if I could have caught them and shaped them how I pleased. During those peaceful moments, I felt nothing but the sky and river, and even the ship was swallowed in serenity’s embrace. On the riverbanks, we passed small villages, as if posing for a rustic autumn picture. I remember every detail of the day we visited Kizhi village. It was quite cold, and being there was like walking through the set of an old film with antique scenes of pretty flowers covering the riverbanks, churches made of wood against a background of quaint houses. Locals leisurely enjoyed their simple lives, and I felt like I was being sent back to my childhood, back when I dreamed I could fly with the wind

to the sky and go anywhere I wished. In that dreamy village, I met friendly Russians, tried some delicacies and experienced their distinct culture. While everything that day was simple and subtle, it nevertheless sticks out solidly in my memory. It’s hard to describe the life on an Esenin Cruise. Sure, words like “tranquil” and “peaceful” come to mind, but does that really capture it? As it usually goes with cruises, most of us didn’t know each other; however, our relationships developed each day as we got to know each other further down the river. We woke up together in the early morning, had breakfast together and explored something new each day. We learned some Russian, studied Russian history and culture by singing simple songs, practicing traditional dances and even learning the local ways of cooking and making tea. Like members of a big family, we spent pleasant times together and were happiest when everyone was happy. We shared a love for the country, a love which developed along the course of the
Looking back, I once again miss Russia and her people: Maria, our lovely receptionist; Natalya, our tenderhearted waiter, and the entire crew, each member helping not only as hosts but as friends. I especially miss Liudmila, our tour guide, her blond hair and sweet smile evoking the quintessence of Russia. Despite growing up in Russia, she can speak Vietnamese fluently like a native speaker. She created a bridge connecting the two nations and made me love Russia all the more. My gentle dream is not over. Back in Hanoi, I can’t stop the feelings of traveling along the Volga and visiting picturesque villages where the stresses and pressures of life feel as though they never existed. I crave to return to these places, to slowly walk along the riverbanks, wander in grass fields, breathe the fresh air and listen to sweet Russian love songs. I want to call out those familiar names - Maria, Natalia, Liudmila- as on previous days. The nostalgia fills my mind with happy memories. I promise to go back there someday, immerse myself in the warm
sunlight of St Petersburg and the cold weather of smoky Volga on an early morning. FURTHER INFORMATION: Time ü Volga River Tour only operates from May to October each year. The best times to travel on the Volga are in June with its interesting “white nights” and from September to October with the enticing Russian autumn. Visa ü It’s quite easy for Vietnamese to get a Russian visa. After you receive your official invitation letter, it takes only 5 to 6 days to ask for a visa at the Russia Embassy in Hanoi. The fee is about 50USD, or 90USD if you want to get your visa within 2 days. Weather ü You will travel from St. Petersburg to Moscow and experience different types of weather. At night it can get quite cold and rainy, then it grows warmer at noon. Bring a thin jacket, jumper and other suitable outfits. Food ü You will be offered an array of dishes. Russian cuisine is quite greasy. Soup and black bread are must-try dishes. Locals ü Russian people are friendly and helpful; some are very good at foreign languages such as Vietnamese. Notes ü You must follow the cruise’s regulations on safety and practice in case of emergency. Follow the safety guides and the captain’s instructions. Tour booking ü You can book an 11-day (10 night) tour with ATLANTA Travel.

LONDON
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has recently approved the third phase of a project on the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources in the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in central Quang Binh province, which is being funded by the German Government through non-refundable official development assistance of £ 2 million ($2.13 million). Apart from improving livelihoods and conserving biodiversity, the project identifies solutions for strengthening cooperation between Phong Nha-Ke Bang and the Hin Nam No Protected Area (Laos). Human and financial resources will be supplemented to improve information exchange to minimize the dangers to important natural resources in both areas. From November 1st 2015 to December 31st 2016, Taiwan is introducing its new trial policy on visas for high-class tourist groups from five countries: Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and India. Accordingly, groups of five or more people will receive free visas if they join tours organized by designated travel agencies or corporations that send their personnel on holidays as incentives or reward. After the trial time, Taiwan will consider the result and give the final decision over whether to apply this policy. The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Halong has recently kicked off a new campaign named "Smiles of Halong". During the campaign, each Quang Ninh citizen from senior leaders to ordinary citizens is a tourism ambassador who always welcomes
VIETNAMESE TEA
guests with sincere smiles and hospitality. All behaviors such as unsettled sales, bothering visitors, selling fake goods and increasing prices are strictly prohibited. "Smiles of Halong" provides rules and regulations as well as civilized behaviors for organizations and individuals in tourism industry, locals and tourists. A British tourism company has introduced its new service that allow visitors to London to go sightseeing around the city by Abbot - a17-ton former Army tank used in the 1960s. It's surprisingly exciting to see famous sites such as Big Ben Tower, the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square from the top of the tank. Although these tanks have been used since the1960s, they are still bomb and bulletproof. Therefore, this is considered the safest tour in Britain. The tour costs £1,500 (USD2,200) for three hours. To protect tourists against acts of stealing and fighting, provincial leaders of Phuket - Thailand have opened service centers to ensure safety for tourists. The service centers will be available for visitors on popular beaches in 3 districts of Phuket to enhance safety and security throughout the day. In Muang District, the centers will be located in Kata, Karon, Nai Han, Yanui Beach and Koh Racha, Koh Hae, Koh Mai Ton Island. In Kathu District, the there will be service centers on Patong, Kamala, Kalim and Traitrang Beach. In Thalang District, the centers will be located on Mai Khao, Nai Thon, Nai Yang, Bang Tao, Surin, Layan, Sai Kaew Beach and Koh Nakha Island. These
PHUKET
service centers are expected to begin operating this December. International visitors to Viet Nam in November estimated 732,740 arrivals, increasing 12.9% over last month and increasing 20.4% over the same period last year. Visitors mainly travel to Vietnam by plane. Particularly, the number of tourists from Spain, Germany, England and other European countries, which are exempt from visas, increased 2-10% over the same period last year. According to Viet Nam National Administration of Tourism, with this growth, especially in last months of year, the number of international visitors to Vietnam can be 7.87 millions more than last year or higher. Nguyen Phuc Chu street in Hoi An (Quang Nam) becomes a new walking street from December 3rd to serve the visiting needs of home and foreign tourists. The street operates from 8:30am to 11:00am and from 3:00pm to 9:30pm (summer)/9:00pm (winter). This street is located on the south of Hoai river - at the opposite side of the ancient town that spreads along An Hoi Sculpture Garden and attracts many tourists, especially at night. A ticket counter is also placed on this street to sell tickets and provide information to visitors. Visitors can park their vehicles on Cao Hong Lanh street, the intersection of Nguyen Phuc Chu - La Hoi - Cao Hong Lanh or at the Phu Dong Primary School. The project of "pedestrian and non-motor vehicle streets" has been launched since 2004, becoming the typical cultural product of Hoi An and contributing greatly in the promotion of culture - tourism of the town. Rome has banned centurion impersonators who charge to scowl in photos around the ancient Colosseum amphitheatre. Many tourists have been bothered by these aggressive impersonators. Offering rides in rickshaws and other wheeled vehicles have been forbidden in some parts of town, and roving salesmen peddling tours or museum tickets has also been prohibited. This is considered the city's efforts to protect travelers against fraudsters and to protect the reputation of Rome.
