I have a three-year old daughter. To teach her basic science knowledge, I always play some interesting games with her. One of her most favorite games is “raining ice cube”. We put an ice cube above a glass of slightly hot water. Some seconds later, tiny water droplets fall down like a lovely “rain”. February comes, a new season greets us with drizzling rain whose tiny droplets dampen our hair and shoulders, running down our windows and blurring the world across the pane. Once my daughter woke up early in the morning, pressed her face against the glass pensively, and asked me “Mommy Mommy, there are some ice cubes on our roof, right? Our house is warmer so it rains like this, huh?”

My daughter’s question has awakened me, reminding me that there is lots of joy and excitement in our life. We just need to open our heart to welcome all things as if they are coming to us for the first time and our lives will be much more beautiful. At that time, the droplets of February will be drops of joy singing outside our windows or dancing on our shoulders. Have you found your own “drops of joy” with your new journeys this February? Do not forget to share with us! We wish you a warm February full of happiness!

HCMC Hop On Hop Off is the perfect tour for those who wish to discover Saigon at their own pace, rather than following any itinerary. Featuring 16 stops, the Hop On - Hop Off tour will be the most interesting in the early spring when Saigon, bursting with flowers and decorations, breathes fresh airy. The first destination on the Hop On- Hop Off route is the Ben Thanh Market, which is over 100 years old. This market ranks no.15 in the world’s top 45 food markets and is one of the ten places featuring the greatest street foods on earth. Next, the Hop On - Hop Off bus will take you to HCMC People’s Committee building, the opera house, Skydeck Tower, and Nguyen Hue walking street. Right in front of the City People’s Committee is Nguyen Hue Street. During the Tet holiday, the walking street wears a new coat of flowers, offering you a unique
experience in the first days of the New Year. The Saigon Skydeck is the next stop on your journey. Situated on the 49th floor of the Bitexo building, at 178m high, Saigon Skydeck offers an ideal space to drink in a panoramic view of the city. If you want to enjoy a combination of architecture and history, then Independence Palace and Notre Dame will impress. Independence Palace, is a celebrated architecturally rich building from Saigon’s past. All architectural details represent ancient, esoteric philosophies of oriental culture and Vietnamese national characteristics. Meanwhile, Notre Dame is unique as all materials used to construct the church were imported from France. The church features two bell towers with 6 bells that were once the largest of its time. Chinatowns have been established in many countries around the world from
South Asia and Southeast Asia, to North America, Australia and Europe. Each has its own distinctions feeding your curiosity. Cho Lon, the “Chinatown of Saigon” is a paradise for foodies. Other must-visit attractions on Hop On Hop Off’s itinerary include Thien Hau and Ong Pagodas and Cha Tam Church. The 16 stops offer hundreds of fascinating discoveries and insights about Saigon, both a city studded with classical, history and a buzzing modern metropolis.

n the hot new debut album B∂n Nguy™n, Diva Ha Tran cooperates with Dominik Nghia Do and Hoang Quan. The album consists of 10 indie rock tracks. The instrumental setup is quite simple, featuring just a guitar, drums, and bass. The concept of B∂n Nguy™n is a musical journey in which each artist in the group, from musician Dominik Nghia Do and lyricist Hoang Quan to singer Ha Tran and producer Thanh Phuong, is trying to define their individuality. B∂n Nguy™n represents the distinctive style of Ha Tran - strong and independent - unlike any other artist on the scene today.

THE FINEST HOURS - LIFE-AND-DEATH MOMENTS The Finest Hours, a real-life story about one of the worst maritime disasters in US history, will keep audiences at the edge of their seats. During a storm on February 18th 1952, a massive gale ripped in half the hull of the SS Pendleton, a tanker en route from New Orleans to Boston. Fighting for their lives the crew and engineers put forth evŒything to keep the tanker afloat long enough for the US Coast Guard to rescue them. Miraculously, four members of the Coast Guard confronted the disaster, rescuing 32 people with a small 12seat lifeboat. The film is starring Chris Pine, Ben Foster, and Eric Bana. Nationwide cinemas

THE RETURN OF ZOOLANDER Zoolander 2 continues to revolve around the adventures of Derek Zoolander, an airheaded man who abandoned his boring life in a small coal-mining town in order to pursue his dream of being one of the biggest supermodels in the world. Many years later, he and his colleague, Hansel, are no longer the center of attention. However, the spotlight suddenly returns when Interpol asks them to infiltrate the world of high fashion to unravel the mystery behind the murders of some of the world's most beautiful people, including Justin Bieber, Usher, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, and more. The only clue they have is a series of selfies taken in Zoolander's signature style, "Blue Steel". The two former supermodels return to the dazzling yet complicated world of models. But can they solve this mystery? Nationwide cinemas

The intimate space within workshop is adorned by all sorts of colors, paper, pens and thousands of unexpected devices for painting such as cabbage leaves, stone, wood, and rope. After learning some basic rules of colors, and shapes and experimenting with oil and watercolors, students are allowed to freely express their ideas and create their own works of art. "For me, Vango is the place where I can slow down the hectic pace of my life so that I can feel and love more and smile happily" - says Trinh Viet Nga, Content Director of VNN Plus Media Join stock Company - a student of Vango Class.

Many tourists come to Miyajima to catch a glimpse of the sunrise over this magnificent gate.
Visit the floating shrine - a World Heritage Site Kontowing to the Buddha is one of the most important activities as the new year approaches.
I
f you have a chance to visit Japan in early 2016, do not forget to admire the mysterious and unassuming beauty of Itsukushima shine on the island of Miyajima - Top Travel Destination 2016. The shrine is known worldwide for its iconic "floating" torii gate. The sight of the 16m vermilion torii gate which seems to float in the sea during high tide is one of the canonical Three Views of Japan. The shrine was also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. On the way to Itsukushima shine, you will pass through the primeval Misen forest where you might be welcomed by friendly wild deer. Along the path, you will find an abundance of food stalls and restaurants as well as local souvenir shops. You will be enticed by the aroma of celebrated dishes such as anago meshi (broiled eel served over rice) and grilled oysters. From
a distance, you can see the giant torii gate looming above the water, separating Miyajima - the land of Gods - from the outside world. The gate’s structured frame is not fixed to the ground but stabilized entirely by its own weight. Many tourists come to Miyajima to catch a glimpse of the sunrise over this magnificent gate. The gate is built using traditional Japanese carpentry practices, so there aren’t any nails used in this building’s construction. Instead, things are fitted together using sophisticated joining techniques. Even, the gaps between the floor slabs are also precisely calibrated to reduce tidal pressure in large storms. Itsukushima consists of several different shines creatively laid out, though some in risky locations. They were built by Taira no Kiyomori, a samarai leader from the 12th century. The torii appears to be floating only at high tide. Commoners wishing to enter the shrine must steer their boats through the torii before approaching. The island itself is considered sacred, as it was the place where the god of mountains and the god of sea resided; therefore, pregnant women, the old, and the sick are not allowed to live on the island. No deaths or births are permitted near the shrine.

Being the location of hundreds of ancient temples, Kerala is considered “the Land of God". Kerala boasts a rich biodiversity. Situated along Malabar beach, it is home to more than 4,000 flowering plant species, 900 of which are medicinal, over 100 species of mammals, 475 species of birds, 200 species of freshwater fish, and 165 species of reptiles. The craggy hills combined with pristine rivers, majestic temples, and enchanting beaches attract more and more tourists to Kerala every year. What could be better than staying in a wooden bungalow overlooking the sea, tasting fresh seafood with curry and delicious appams - an Indian signature cake made of rice and coconut? Nature lovers should try to climb the Agasthyakoodam Mountains in the Sahyadri range of Western Ghat. These mountains will not only enchant those excited by birds and wild animals but also flower lovers. You can also visit the town of Munnar on the mountain slopes overlooking endless tea plantations surrounded by graphite mountains. This is an ideal choice for your honeymoon. Another must-visit destination in Kerala are the Athirapally waterfalls. Located within a lush tropical forest, this waterfall flows down from a height of 40m. If you have a chance, stay at the floating Kettuvallam hotel, the design of which is inspired by the shape of a traditional Indian houseboat. Indeed, Kerala is the perfect getaway for those who seek tranquility.

The footpath is half submerged in the crystal clear water and only visible during low tide
Wonderful footpath under water From March onwards is the right time to travel the islands and beaches along the South Central coast of Vietnam. While Nha Trang City is so popular with tourists, Diep Son in Van Phong Bay is an up-and-coming hub in Khanh Hoa Province. Just about 60km of road and a little more than an hour by ship separate Diep Son from Nha Trang. The undeveloped island of Diep Son is chosen by those who love exploring new lands. An interesting feature of the island is the underwater path known as “Diep Son thuy dao”. Van Phong Bay in Khanh Hoa has three islets side by side connected by a winding path. The first path is 4.5m wide and around 700-800m long. The second one is the same width as the first, but only 500m long. The footpath is half submerged in the crystal clear water and only visible during low tide. The water level begins to fall at 6am and rises again at 12:00pm. Swim and have fun in the turquoise water and tread along this special footpath. Travellers in these parts aren’t just struck by the singular uniqueness of the path. They are also impressed by the friendliness of the locals. Everyone from children to the elderly leads a simple life. There are no hotels on this island. You’d better bring enough food, personal items, tents, and other provisions to enjoy your relaxing moments here.

SUNSET ON SAM MOUNTAIN - TRA SU CAJEPUT FOREST
T
ra Su Cajeput Forest is one of the most beautiful destinations in An Giang Province. The forest is home to 140 species of plants, 70 species of birds, 11 species of animals, 23 of fish, and 20 of reptiles. Located within a massive swamp, it’s called a “floating” forest and you can only explore it by boat. The water’s surface is covered entirely with a fluid sheet of emerald duckweed. Savor the slight tingle of the gentle breeze caressing your face as you listen to the cheerful sounds of birds leaving their nests to find food. Be present in this memorable experience, especially if you are from the city. Travel to Tra Su Cajeput Forest and you will get more and more excited when exploring nature’s novelties. Depending on seasons, Tra Su Cajeput Forest has its different beauties. While green duckweed covers water during September and travelers flock to this forest in October, it is more cheerful in February when culinary and spiritual activities take place.
Forest cuisine is another highlight of this attraction. There are multitudes of fish such as snakehead, catfish, anabas, and hemibagrus. With fresh fishyou can savor specialties such as gourami fish salad, Siamese carp hot pot with dien dien flowers, and grilled snakehead. After traveling around the forest, you can refresh yourself with some cool sweet Palmyra juice and pulp. Along the way leading to the forest, you can find numerous stalls selling fresh palmyra juice and palmyra sugar. The aromatic palmyra sugar from Chau Doc is bright yellow with a distinctive greasy and sweet flavor. It is also the main ingredient used to make scrumptious palmyra sponge cakes. After that, you can go trekking up Sam Mountain to admire the sunset. Sam Mountain which is quite small with an elevation around 284m, is part of the Seven Mountain area. More than 200 temples and pagodas are located along the slopes and peak of the mountain. Do not forget to stop halfway to try the unparalleled dishes of Sam Mountain area such as stirfried beef with giang leaf, gourami salad with catfish, snakehead, or snakeskin gourami.

Bai Xep in the film
Like dream from a fairytale, Bai Xep - Phu Yen is a tranquil getaway where you can slow down life’s hectic pace and forget all your daily worries.
T
From the real scenery to the film he scenic hill covered in cacti and wildflowers at An Chan Commune in Tuy An District has become more popular after being selected as the setting for “Dear Brother - I See Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass” the poignant and highly evocative film released last Fall. Bai Xep’s picturesque landscape is painted with hues of blue from the clear sky hanging above the vast ocean and endless green grass, highlighted by cacti and thousands of tiny wildflowers. Despite the scorching sun, the setting is still pleasing on the eyes. Through it is just outside of the city of Tuy Hoa, Bai Xep maintains its hidden charm as it has yet to be discovered by mainstream tourists. Bai Xep, along with Xuan Dai Bay, O Loan Lagoon, and Da Dia Reef contributes to making Phu Yen Province a unique and exciting destination. You’ll be mesmerized by the long breezy coastline, the sunlight hitting the sandy yellow beaches and the melodies of the waves. The natural painting of the landscape will accompany you with each new discovery as you explore this enchanted land. Here, you can wander along nearby reefs and reveal your heart to the endlessness sky and ocean.

Bai Xep is surrounded by steep, rocky, cliffs. However, the severity of the cliffs is an essential part of Bai Xep’s beauty. The sea is bound by several hexagonal stone formations varying in size, and slope. To get a panoramic view of Bai Xep, you should follow the paths leading up to the high cliffs. On the way there, you will be captivated by the serene hillside with the cacti and wildflowers. The director, Victor Vu, with his talented team and equipment, has made fabulous use of this hill’s beauty in the famous scene with the hill covered in verdant grass and accented by the tiny yellow and white flowers. On this hill, the prickly cacti are likened to beautiful, but aloof, young women with their alluring appearance who ignore all men who seek their company.

THE HILL IS COVERED IN VERDANT GRASS AND ACCENTED BY THE TINY YELLOW AND WHITE FLOWERS. THE PRICKLY CACTI ARE LIKENED TO BEAUTIFUL, BUT ALOOF, YOUNG WOMEN WITH THEIR ALLURING APPEARANCE WHO IGNORE ALL MEN WHO SEEK THEIR COMPANY.
A VErSIoN of DA DIA rEEf (GANH DA DIA) As you walk around the hill, you can admire the steep cliffs naturally formed by the unique stone formations which are similar in structure to the Da Dia Reef. This special topographic structure was created after a volcanic eruption several million years ago. The molten lava spilled out into the sea where it met water and gradually cooled down, forming countless hexagonal plates of layered stone. These
stone plates appear as though they were sculpted by the hand of a masterful artist. Phu Yen is one of only three regions in the world featuring this sort of geological formation, the other two being in New Zealand and Korea. Viewed from a high position, it feels like you are standing on a giant beehive stretching along the coastline. With a perceptive set of eyes, you might make out a stone plate shaped like the letter S and wonder how Mother Nature created this for Vietnam. The beauty of Bai Xep has been captured by numerous photographers and has been the backdrop of many sweet memories as couples travel here to take their wedding photos. The seawater in Bai Xep is distinctive in its own way. The clear turquoise water is so cool that you will feel refreshed even after everything else has submitted to the barrage of heat. Tiptoe into the sea and you will think that you are going to swim in an icy lake. Perhaps, the steep cliffs keep the temperature of the water cool, giving you contrast as you alternate between the sweltering land and the cool sea. There isn’t any other place quite like it. For much of our lives, we are immersed in stress and banal routines. This time, you don’t need to travel so far to get away for a little bit. Just visit Bai Xep - in Phu Yen and allow yourself to be enchanted by its charm. It is about 500km from Ho Chi Minh City to Tuy Hoa and it takes nearly 11 hours by car. Therefore, you should depart in the afternoon and begin exploring Bai Xet in the next morning. Passenger car ticket costs about VND240,000 - VND300,000/guest. At Tuy Hoa bus station, hire a motorbike, travel 12km northward to Sao Viet junction and you can easily find the way to Bai Xep. TRAVELLIVE

Price: VND100,000/ pax for two. ü Apart from the tuna eyes and fresh tuna, you can try other tuna dishes such as: stir-fried and steamed tuna tripe, tuna tripe salad, tuna soup, and steamed tuna eggs.
Those madly in love with Japanese sashimi will be more than satisfied with the Vietnamese sashimi in Phu Yen Province. Here, the fresh ocean tuna is often enjoyed with mustard. We order a plate of this fresh tuna to neutralize our palates of the greasy taste of the tuna eyeballs we’d just enjoyed. The tunas is are treated and cryopreserved immediately after being caught. When served, the chef garnishes the plate of spectacular pink fish with a saucer of soy sauce and mustard alongside broccoli, coriander, and basil. All you need to do when enjoying this dish is dip the fresh tuna into the sauce, pour some roasted peanuts atop and eat along with the greens, garlic and chili. Diners can also decide whether they want to try the dish with colza leaves or not. The typical fishiness of the tuna is counterbalanced by the spicy mustard and aromatic herbs, giving its soft flesh a slightly sweet flavor, all coming together to create a mouthwatering dish and cheerful patron.

ne of the most famous dishes in Phu Yen is the single-sun dried beef with yellow ant salt. Locals often enjoy it when drinking with friends while visitors usually buy it as a gift for their friends and family. The dish’s name originates from the way people prepare it. Beef thighs and beef loins are processed carefully before being sliced into thin strips. Then, the beef is marinated with sugar, seasoning salt, sesame seeds, and crushed chili prior to being set in the sun for one day. The dried beef can be stored for a long time. When eating it, you can put it on a pot over hot coals to dry until it is brown. Use a pestle to flatten the grilled beef, making it tender, and then tear it into small strips.

I smell the scents of spices on counters, view the colorful traditional scarves and shoes and admire the art of stone mosaic in some old houses. In the early morning, I savor the greasy taste of goat cheese served with aromatic bread and a cup of traditional hot cinnamon tea. These are also the most interesting things of Tunis in the heart of the Medina. I arrived in Tunisia from Casablanca, Morocco on a bitingly cold night in late winter. In my eyes, Tunis is quite modern with influences of the Persian Islamic architecture. Like other houses in the capital Tunis, the hotel where I stay is adorned with blue windows and white walls with colorful bougainvillea flowers hanging down in front of the gate. This is the distinctive architectural style of the Mediterranean. Every morning, I am awakened up by the clamping sounds of wheelbarrows delivering bread at 5am. The Medina preserves its antique beauty stones in the
17th century, which is cut into squares and tiled unevenly. The early morning sounds of wheelbarrows on the bumpy roads is a unique alarm of this land. It’s easy to understand why the Medina is called a fortress. Going deep into the city, houses are built high up. Streets are connected by antique stone staircases, making Medina a labyrinthine with countless gates. I even had to take a photo of the place I was staying before entering any gate in the Medina so that if I got lost, I would just show the photo to locals who are able to guide me.

he town gets busier at 5am when venders from neighboring villages arrive with their horses and fresh home-growth vegetables. Cabbage leaves are wrapped together tightly, Napa cabbages boast their chicken’s fat color. Small flavorful basil branches are tied in bundles. Among herbs, basil is the most favored as Tunisians enjoy their morning hot tea with some basil leaves. Unlike other Muslim countries in North Africa, Tunisia surprises me with its allowance for women to sell goods at the market. Sometimes, old men just forgot their traditional customs either to take photos with me or to ask me to take photos of them. The images of white haired locals wearing traditional scarves, charmingly giggling are among my best memories. The Medina becomes more peaceful and quiet on weekends. The vibrant sounds of people advertising their products and chatting tend to die down at noon on Saturday and disappear completely on Sunday. Only tranquility is left in this city, giving people a peaceful time. I unconditionally love wandering around Medina on these serene days when the sun splashes its yellow rays through every street. There is no middle class in the Medina, only the poor and the wealthy. The poor either don’t have enough money to leave the city or can’t afford to buy a piece of land in the suburbs; therefore, they must live a hard life in run-down houses that can collapse at anytime. The wealthy don’t want to leave their hometown where they have accumulated so many memories through generations. They reconstruct their antique buildings, turning them into gorgeous villas.

I just follow the enticing windows but don’t know exactly where I am going. Sometimes, I see a girl riding her bike across the street to a nearby bakery. Winds bear the scents of different spices through the windows.
Further information: Visa ü You can ask for visa to Tunisia in Jakarta, Indonesia, as there is no Tunisian Embassy in Vietnam. Email: atjkt@uninet.net.id Itinerary ü You can fly from HCMC to Tunis with Turkish Airlines, Emirates Airlines or Etihad Airways. Language ü The official languages of Tunisia are Arabic and French. There is an office guiding visitors in English at a station the center Place de Barcelone. Culinary quiescence of Maghreb ü Sheep and goat meat are the “premium” dishes of Tunisians. Goat cheese is made daily so its taste and smell are so great, awkward and aromatic. ü Like Morocco, Tunisia is famous for exporting canned sardine and tuna. Don’t miss the taste of sardine and tuna mashed in olive oil and served with bread. Attractions ü You should walk along Habib Bourguiba Avenue in Tunis to contemplate French remnants. This avenue is also called “Champs Elysees” of this North African land. ü Must-visit destinations include Carthage, a historical site of Tunisians with Roman emperors. This place is also the setting of famous antique films. Not far away from Carthage is Sidi Bou Said, a beautiful Mediterranean city. You can travel by train for 15 minutes to visit this city. ü Apart from Tunis, you can explore other cities such as El Jem, Dougga, Kairouan, Sousses and Kerkuane or book a tour to explore Sahara desert.
Hands carved into doors made me curious. According to the locals, there are two hands on their main door, one for guests, and the other for family members. Each hand is a doorbell with a distinctive ringtone. These hands also express the owners’ characteristics. Just by seeing the right hand carved on the door, we can see its owner’s aesthetic preferences. Tunisia always reminds me of unique Roman walls. In the 2nd century BC, Romans battled Carthage to take over Tunisia until the 6th century. The stone craft had flourished until the Ottoman Empire occupied this beautiful land. I love the feeling of getting lost in a world of colorful tiled walls with signature patterns of Maghreb that can be seen everywhere from houses to mosques.

AFTER PASSING THE GATE OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY, SHOPPING AT THE MASSIVE STORES ALONG NEWBURY STREET IN THE BACK BAY NEIGHBORHOOD AND TAKING IN THE PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE CITY FROM THE PRUDENTIAL COMMERCIAL CENTER, MY GIRLFRIEND AND I DECIDED TO EXPLORE BOSTON’S CHOCOLATE FLAVORS TO FIND THE BEST VALENTINE’S DAY GIFTS.

CHoCoHoLIC’S PArADISE
WITH A QUAINT ANTIQUE CHARM REMINISCENT OF EUROPE AND A LITTLE ASIAN NOSTALGIA, BOSTONÍS BEAUTY IS A HARMONY OF PAST AND CONTEMPORARY
With a quaint antique charm reminiscent of Europe and a little Asian quiet and nostalgia, Boston’s beauty is a harmony of the past and contemporary glamour. When you visit “The city of knowledge”, you will have a chance to walk along beautiful Back Bay and explore the wonderful world of chocolate in bakeries, luxurious stores, or at a large hotel buffet party with hundreds of chocolate cakes and candies. The chocolate tour along Back Bay lasts 3 hours. The first point is the statue of the talented American painter, John Copley, near the Boston Public Library and Trinity Church which was built in 1877 and is listed as one of the 20 most valuable culturalarchitectural sites of the city.
Chocoholics will get excited as soon as they come to Georgetown Cupcake in Newbury. This cupcake shop was first established in Georgetown in the vicinity of Washington D.C and has since expanded to six other big cities. Upon arrival, you will realize that a paradise of chocolate does exist. The daily menus look like timetables divided into morning and afternoon sections and each kind of chocolate cupcake is a lesson. The timetables cover all days with various scrumptious dishes. You will be ever surprised by the delicious white, pink, and brown chocolate cupcakes you encounter day by day. We tasted numerous chocolate related products whenever passing a new shop. Some of the immaculately crafted cupcakes were so perfect and cute that we were hesitant to eat them, but when we did we didn’t want to leave the shop.
FuRTHER INFORMATION:
We continued our journey to Teuscher Chocolates, a chocolatier which boasts an array of premium Swiss chocolate. Here, with a champagne chocolate truffle you can savor the creamy filling swirling about in your mouth. Teuscher chocolate originated in a small alpine town in Switzerland. Mr. Doft Teuscher, the founder, has traveled everywhere to find the highest quality cocoa, marzipan, fruits, nuts, and other ingredients used in chocolate confectionery. After years of experimentation, he has skillfully blended the ingredients to make the famous chocolates that we eat today. Opposite to the Teuscher Chocolatier is Sweet Cupcakes, a favored destination for locals. This brand also features 6 outlets around the Beantown area. Don’t forget to taste the most special dish here - toasted chocolate. Next, Patisserie Newbury is a famous shop selling their renowned double chocolate cookie which is made from ingredients from Valrhona, France. This unsweetened chocolate is considered one of the most luxurious dishes in France. Valrhona is also the name of the first chocolate manufacturer to create premium wine-flavored chocolate. Valrhona has satisfied countless connoisseurs since it was founded in 1922 with its products made with cocoa beans harvested from the leading plantations of South America, the Caribbean and Pacific regions.
Patisserie Newbury’s cookie is the harmonious blend of rich nutritional Valrhona chocolate and the slight, bittersweet cocoa hidden within the chocolate chips, mesmerizing diners. The last point of our tour was Sugar Heaven, a classically decorated gift shop modestly located within a radiant shopping center. Its däcor and arrangement make you feel like you are lost in a wonderland of sweets. Be sure that you aren’t full before tasting one of the salted caramel or chocolate covered pretzels. Visit Beacon Hill Chocolate Shop and take some photos with the unique warning boards such as the one saying: “When a tornado comes, make sure you have batteries, water and rain footwear, especially never forget the most crucial one: chocolate!”
ReMAIN sWeeTNess I could immerse myself in the sweet world of chocolate as if the 3-hour tour lasted 3 days. The thousands of chocolate types I tasted, together with the ice-cream and cakes, have their own power to entice me and other visitors. No one intends to buy anything during the tour as you are invited to try them for free. However, right after getting back to the hotel when chocolate and wine starts taking effect, you will want to go back to the shops immediately to buy some more.
TOuR ü If you are interested in this kind of tour, you can visit www. bostonchocolatetours.com and choose a suitable tour based on the hotel you plan to stay at. Prices start at USD50. You can find tours with 50% off at www.groupon.com or www.expedia.com. NOTE ü You should come to the starting point 15 minutes early so that you can meet your tour guide. During the tour, stay on track lest you get lost as there are many groups of tourists visiting shops at the same time. Bring walking shoes with you. BuFFET ü Enjoy a chocolate buffet with hundreds of chocolate candies at The Langham Hotels & Resorts at 250 Franklin Street. Book in advance according to the timeframe: 11am, 11:30am, 1:00pm and 1:30pm on Saturday. Price: USD42/adult, USD32/ children from 5-12 years old, free for children under 5.
Chocolate is a great way to explore Boston using your eyes and your stomach. This way keeps you connected to the city you are visiting and helps you understand more about the way the local shops and businesses interact with their customers. I love meeting the shop owners and listening to their “secrets” for making their shops unique with unparalleled products. On Valentine’s Day, I know that if you want to impress your lover who has a passion for chocolate, you should consider taking a trip to TCHO (at Pier 17) in San Francisco, Mast Brothers Chocolate in Brooklyn (New York), Ethel M Chocolates in Las Vegas (Nevada) or Lake Champlain Chocolates in Burlington (Vermont). But for me, I just want to lazily enjoy chocolate! TRAVELLIVE

In "Dans le Caf채 de la Jeunesse Perdue" by Patrick Modiano, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature (2014), there is a passage I love very much; "Paris is so large, it's not easy to follow someone here". Yes, it's easy to lose someone here, yet I'll always find the way to a caf채. TRAVELLIVE

notes about each new destination. Elise has the entirety Paris in her scrapbook, from an old factory near Saint-Martin Canal where locals sell second-hand goods on Sunday mornings to a grocer that sells African fragrances, or the opening of an exhibition of metal jewelry made by her old friend. Indeed, this girl possesses a treasure of the most interesting places to go shopping and have fun in Paris, which is already full off great destinations. And Le Pavillon des Canaux is one of these places. It's a favorite caf채 in "Elise style".

f someone asks me about the first days I set foot on this land, my memory will flash back to the image of my apartment behind a closed gate and a hidden courtyard where I could listen to the echo of church bells of Saint-Laurent every hour. Right from that small cold apartment, I encountered Paris for the first time when Elise, my sisterin-law, showed me her scrapbook filled with postcards, newspaper cut-outs, leaflets, and some quick
We could translate the caf채's name as "pavilion near the canal" or "chai ven kenh" in Vietnamese. The caf채 is located at 39 quai de la Loire, Paris 19채me. From the nearest metro station, walk past a few hair salons, laundry shops, the buildings along the sidewalk, and the little roadside fruit stalls. Then, cross a bridge to the residential area, turn right, and go straight until you come upon a wall covered in graffiti. Le Pavillon des Canaux, which is much more than just a coffee shop, overlooks the canal. As luck would have it, it was drizzling that afternoon so I decide to sit inside the coffee house. It's not recommended to sit in the outdoor area here!
The caf채 is designed like a house that the owners are still living in. The kitchen is radiant with the glimmering of so much metal cookware. In the living space, there are still traces of breadcrumbs on the edge of the table, as if someone had bought bread from the bakery in such a hurry that she left them on the table when heading back home the night before. And tonight there will be jackets and hats hanging on the clothesline! In this caf채-like house, every nook and cranny has been utilized to serve guests. You can crawl into the bathtub with a cup of hot chocolate or cover up in the bed among a plethora of dolls of different sizes with a book and a cup of tea. In the next room, a group of excited students is discussing their preparations for an up-coming presentation. One
of them is relaxing on the bed, another lazily on a chair, while the other is thumbing through a book. They seem to make themselves at home as if they really were at one of their own homes. Though we are all strangers here, everyone can find a little space to call their own while here. The most interesting aspect of Le Pavillon des Canaux is that it is constantly changing its form regardless of the room and its traditional function. The bathroom, which you had once used to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, has now transformed into a small hair salon. The courtyard between the house and the canal has become
the space for an outdoor Yoga class. Le Pavillon des Canaux gives you countless reasons to come back again and again. If you like the brand, Love & Dress, come to the kitchen. Near the Christmas tree is the new collection. The caf채 also offers some courses. If you want to take up a new course that few people know about, then Culinary Stylist would be an exciting choice. Or if you would like to stay here overnight to do something like work on your final thesis, come here and you will find your companions. Sometimes, you don't need a reason for coming here. As for me, I just visit this pavilion from time to time to reminisce about the time I stepped into Elise's world. As for Elise, Paris is her entire world.

DAYS IN THE kINGDoM of BIG fIVE Upon stepping foot on African soil, this foreign land will enchant you with the exotic and majestic beauty of its vast wilderness, mesmerized by the images of giraffes craning their necks in the afternoon sun, leopards running swiftly in the savannah and lions roaring in the hot yellow sand of the desert. On our planet, only Africa has large enough wildlife reserves where the life-anddeath struggles between species can take place in such magnitude. However, there are only a few countries in Africa with these large and unadulterated national parks where you can immerse yourself in nature, sleep near swamps at the center of pristine highlands and rise amidst the curious eyes of antelope and wild boars. Of these parks, Kruger National Park in South Africa is the most famous with the largest number of wild animals. Kruger forest spans an area of 2 million hectares, approximately the size of Wales. Get in a jeep and go deeper into the forest, and you will be welcomed by the five classic African animals (the Big Five), namely the lion, elephant, wildebeest, rhino, and leopard. Moreover, you can also witness certain cultural treasures: a cave with prehistoric paintings by South African aboriginals and the remnants of the ancient kingdom of Thulamela which flourished centuries ago.

The sunset at Kruger National Park is magnificent, with shades of orange and red silhouetting the thousand-year-old baobab trees. Wild scenes often seen on the Discovery Channel happen right in front of your eyes! A friend of mine has claimed that it’s a magical feeling we can only experience for ourselves. FuRTHER INFORMATION: ü This article is supported by Education for Nature - Vietnam (ENV) with ambassador Hong Nhung and The Center of Hands-On Action as well as Networking for Growth and Environment (CHANGE) with ambassador Thanh Bui. ENV ü was established in 2000 and focuses on natural conservation and environmental protection. ENV’s mission is to foster greater understanding amongst the Vietnamese public about the need to protect nature and wildlife and to influence public attitudes and mobilize Vietnamese citizens to live in balance with the natural world. ENV works closely with government partners to strengthen policy and legislation and directly support enforcement efforts for the protection of endangered species of national, regional and global significance. CHANGE ü is a Non-government organization under the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations and is the official sponsor for Vietnam 350.org, the "No buyer - No killer Vietnam” program, and PEEK - Photography Educating and Empowering Kids project.

To end a day of sightseeing at Kruger National Park, treat your empty stomach with skewers of aromatic grilled meat served with a fresh salad and enjoy your “wildlife” in the shadow of the large foliage. A bit beyond the crackling sounds of the campfire can be heard the cackling of hyenas calling to each other. During the next morning, it is impressive indeed to awaken with the inquisitive eyes of deer upon you. Not too far from your position, elephants are seeking drinking water at the river while crocodiles peak their heads above water to catch some air. Vibrant peacocks’ tails are somewhere to be seen in the foothills. Can you see the captivating and mysterious image of Africa being conjured before your eyes? The musician Thanh Bui - the ambassador of the wildlife conservation organization, CHANGE Vietnam, had this to say of his experience: “South Africa reminds you of what the life is. We are equal in nature. Live in the wild animals’ environment, drink water that they drink, stay-in at night for safety and you will feel the meaning of fighting for survival. That is
how we can interact and immerse ourselves in the natural world.”
rHINo: DoN’T DIE IN krUGEr The singer Hong Nhung - the ambassador of ENV has had a chance to encounter hundreds of beautiful wild animals, especially rhinos, which are living in their pristine world at South Africa’s largest national park. She said of her experiences at Kruger that “wild nature is so beautiful. We came across the forest in the harsh and bitter cold and sweltering heat. We watched herds of rhinos including parents playing with their young. Around them were lions, leopards, deer, and zebras.”
H
owever, just a few kilometers away, as Ms. Hong Nhung continues, you can smell the foul odor of decaying carcasses carried downwind and hear the sounds of flocks of vultures and perceive the silhouettes of lions. They have already caught scent of a dead rhino! During the journey across Kruger National Park, you will also encounter park rangers and officials who are patrolling the premises to catch poachers and horn smugglers.
Those who see this scene cannot but feel the bitterness in their own throats.
Following these police officers, ambassadors from the rhino conservation campaign of Vietnam witnessed the scene of a crime. Hunters are afraid of the noise their gunshots cause so they just fire a shot to injure the rhino enough to bring it down. After that, they saw off the rhino’s horn, pierce its eyes and cut off its genitals while it is still alive. The rhino, barely alive, cannot drink water because of the cuts made on its head. Water does not flow down its throat when it attempts to swallow but runs out its cheeks. Those who see this scene cannot but feel the bitterness in their own throats. Rhinos with their horns cut off die in pain, hungry and thirsty as they lie helplessly for hours in the savannah. What is more disturbing is that is that some poachers feel no twinge of guilt in cutting a baby rhino out of its mother’s womb to remove its little horn as well.
I've seen a veterinarian specializing in rhinos embracing the fractured ribs of an unborn calf whose mother had been killed. I can imagine how painful it is. There are some difficult cases when they find an injured rhino and must decide whether to attempt to rescue it or kill it so that it might suffer less from the agonizing pain”, expressed an African friend. Nowadays, teenagers from indigenous tribes no longer have a chance to connect with their spirit animals. Some of them are fortunate to touch rhinos, and smile happily, as they walk about the savannah with their family. However, these young people are petrified to find the next morning that these same rhinos had been killed ruthlessly. What’s happening??? “Do you know that 90% rhino horns will be transported to Vietnam?” Thanh Bui asked. In this country, people are willing to spend USD300,000 for a piece of a rhino horn. They aren’t concerned about driving a species to the edge of extinction, and they blindly believe that consuming a rhino’s nails and genitals will be good for theirs. Rhinos, the strong giants from prehistoric times with no enemy in the natural world, are now threatened just because of human’s greed! What should we do now? It is a tough problem but many volunteers and ambassadors have made it their mission to find solutions.
Part 2: The journey of protecting rhinos will be published on the next issue. TRAVELLIVE
