Istanbul, the first days of spring... I’m warming myself in the sun on a cafä’s balcony in the Old Town. In the stunning sunbeams, the old oak trees give their morning greeting to the stone road as their red-brown leaves gently fall. The Old Town is still halfasleep. Sunlight visits each street, dancing happily on passers-by’s shoulders, making the atmosphere more intimate to travelers.

Turkey is an endless inspiration. Come and experience this mythical land.

I feel more amorous in Istanbul. I’m enchanted by everything, from sweet lokum to the light sour ice-cream with ground ice on top, from the gorgeous domes of hundreds of mosques and palaces to their uniquely designed windows, and from the discreet eyes of Muslim girls to the multitude of boards and posters with the images of the city’s legendary football team. I have fallen in love with Bosphorus Bay since the first time seeing the seagulls hovering in the open sky, creating invisible strings that connect Asia and Europe. The blue sky is reflected on the deep blue sea, giving me tranquility. I drop my last Lira into the water of the Bosphorus, in hopes that they will preserve my memories here. And somehow, the water currents might bring them somewhere else to be found by me again, or might be stumbled upon by a boy who is playing with sand on a sunny beach. Tomorrow, I will go to Grand Bazzar, buy some postcards, and write something to leave beneath the sun near a mosque before sending them to my friends, hoping that they will be inspired to visit this land. Uhm... will you come here?

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR In the latest installment of Captain America - Civil War, the government wants to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the Avengers. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps, one led by Steve Rogers (Captain America) and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark's surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

MORNING IN THE MOUNTAINS

orning in the Mountains is a solo exhibition of mixed media paintings by Hanoi-based artist Nguyen The Hung. Born and raised in the north-eastern corner of Vietnam, much of Nguyen The Hung's work is influenced by the cultures and traditions of the many ethnic minority groups that populate the mountains of his native region. Perhaps best known for his use of do paper in his earlier collections, the twelve works of Hung's Morning in the Mountains collection are an experimental combination of various styles including action painting, do paper, traditional lacquer painting, and vibrant contemporary art colorations. Hung took special care in reproducing each pattern and accessory on the traditional clothing of the ethnic groups depicted. The pure beauty of children, charming smiles of young girls, and the simple beauty of locals are emotionally reflected.

Through his words, readers can see his efforts to struggle against the disease while saving others' lives in the operating room and his feelings upon holding his child for the first time. In the face of death, Kalanithi wrestles to answer the question "what makes life worth living?". When Breath Becomes Air is now on the best-seller lists of many popular magazines.

the city on 7 hills We arrived at Istanbul Ataturk Airport one early morning. Dorak, our tour guide (from a big domestic travel agency) was waiting for us. After exchanging some money, we left the airport, got on the bus, passed the Turkish Airline’s headquarters and traveled to the city. Istanbul is bathed in sunlight; the sky’s hue is an unbelievably deep blue without a single cloud. Strolling about the city’s myriad of alleyways, you will encounter numerous architectural styles that were popular in different stages of the city’s history. Istanbul was built on 7 hills, and each one offers a different perspective of the skyline with the domes of mosques and towers emerging from the labyrinthine streets. The city’s countenance changes drastically as our bus goes up and down.

The legend - the Bosphorus fter a 15-hour flight from HCMC, I was quite amazed at the energy I felt upon touching down. Perhaps the reasonable flight time and Raki (Turkish vodka) served by Turkish Airline during dinner helped me to sleep tight. Thus, upon checking-in at my hotel, I was eager to begin my first sally into this legendary city. It’s regrettable if you miss the chance to take a cruise along the Bosphorus strait. In spite of considerable traffic, the strait leading to the Golden Horn is sublime. On one side of the strait is a bay with a seaside park where you can see parents playing with their kids in the grass on windy afternoons. Here, I came across some people fishing and a father swimming with his little boys while their dog barked joyfully on the beach. On the opposite side is an ancient wall which stretches along the strait, and we can find the occasional cafä nestled at its foot. The unique houses perfectly blend Asian and European colors, and detailed

mouldings stand near each other behind the wall. The towering minarets of mosques are the most prominent feature of the skyline. For about 25 liras, you can take a 2 - hour cruise along the Bosphorus Strait. There you may float along the line dividing Asia and Europe. You may traverse this threshold in a matter of minutes by taking the ferry or crossing one of the three bridges spanning the continents. The Golden Horn must be the most bustling and gorgeous area in Istanbul. It’s where you see the most obvious cultural exchanges. Due to its strategic location, the Golden Horn has been a major harbor as it is the sole sea route connecting the Black Sea with the Mediterranean Sea. I got on a boat at 6p.m and departed from the Galata pier. The sunlight began to fade and was replaced by a chilly breeze. Luckily, I was served with a cup of hot apple tea. The effect was transcendental. I don’t feel like I’ve ever savored such sweet and fragrant tea before. It’s hard to express all feelings I had when traveling along the Bosphorus at sunset. It had all the makings of a scene from a romantic Hollywood travel film. The boat quickly skimmed over the blue sea when the sun began to set, throwing its last glorious rays of light upon the antique mansions and magnificent castles along the bay. Flocks of gulls were hovering above the fortress on the European side, shrieking and beating their wings as though fighting to keep the red sun from sinking into the sea. To end the day, I enjoyed dinner at Sur Balik, a restaurant on the hillside. The terrace commands a panoramic view of the Bosphorus which is worth your money. If you want some food at a reasonable price, then visit the F&B area under the Galata Bridge. This is also a popular place with visitors and the best place to take a selfie with the background of sunset on Golden Horn.

Locals often joke that the crowd looks like the line for season tickets to Besiktas FC games - the biggest Turkish football club. For those who don’t already know, Doner kebabs are meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. In Turkish, “doner” means spinning and “kebab” means grilled meat. “doner The sliced meat is served with bread and a selection of sauces. Every moment brings excitement, from watching the big inverted cone of meat turning slowly upon a vertical rotisserie and hearing the sound of meat roasting on the fire to savoring some pieces of the mouthwatering hot meat in a salad.

“Can’t leave without visiting”

stanbul is renowned for several things such as being the largest European city (at more than 5,000km2), standing toe to toe among the world’s most populous cities (with 14 million people), and being the world’s sole transcontinental city. As a person who loves architecture, religious and cultural tradition, I was fascinated by every corner of this city. It’s no easy task to count the number of mosques in Istanbul and differentiate them from each other. Each mosque is a magnificent work sharing two features: distinctive domes and towering minarets. Numerous architectural works from various periods and cultures appear along some of the streets I visited. This is no surprise as Istanbul is a 2,000-year-old city and served as an imperial capital during the Roman, Byzantine, and the Ottoman periods. On Istanbul’s tourist map, the most highlighted architectural sites are clustered at the head of the peninsula adjacent to the Golden Horn and where the Bosphorus meets Marmara Sea. I spent a whole day just checking out the destinations on the map with the tag “can’t leave without visiting”.

Hippodrome The journey started at the Hippodrome which was built in AD 203 by the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus with a capacity up to 40,000 people. Nowadays, only a few monuments such as the Egyptian obelisk carved from a single piece of stone and Serpentin column remain in this square. It’s just some minutes away from here to the two famous mosques - a couple of humanity’s most beautiful architectural works.

TRAVELLIVE

Blue Mosque - Sultanamet Cami Built from 1609 to 1616 during the rule of Ahmed I (Ottoman Empire), the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, popularly known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior, is still open and allows visitors to come in through a private entrance. Guests are required to dress discreetly and politely, and women must wear a headscarf provided at the entrance. You may take photos both inside and outside the mosque, but it’s quite inconvenient as you have to carry your shoes in your hands during your visit. The space inside the mosque is as large as a town square and full of the whispers of surprised guests. The most impressive things are the huge domes which are both separate and intertwined. Sophisticated patterns on the ceiling and pillars sparkle when the natural light enters through hundreds of passages. Although I’m not a follower, I did feel the spiritual existence of God while admiring the vivid light passing through colored glass.

Hagia Sophia (Aya Sofya) Opposite to the Blue Mosque is Hagia Sophia, the former Byzantine basilica with nearly 1500 years of history and the subject of countless legends. This mosque in particular and Istanbul in general has been described in lively and colorful detail in The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova - an acclaimed book which has sold 28 million copies. This mosque represents the complex relationship between Christianity and Islam. Before being remodeled as the imperial mosque in 1453, Hagia Sophia was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople for nearly a thousand years. Visiting Hagia Sophia has been on my wish list for a long time. Outside the mosque is a large square with a beautiful fountain and long chairs for visitors to take a short rest. There is also a courtyard shaded by giant trees and a lawn displaying ancient sculptures excavated on the premise. I can hardly describe my wonderment as I stood inside gazing upon the mosaics and the umber-colored stone walls. The architecture and the däcor are so majestic, gorgeous, and magnificent! The monolithic pillars, walls, and floor feature a marvelous display of colors and patterns. Great aesthetic style is represented by harmoniously arranged stones.

Go upstairs to the second floor for a wider look at the mosque. From that position, you can also see two beautiful rows of columns, the giant central dome with sophisticated mosaic motifs, and ceiling frescoes depicting holy scenes. These frescoes and other features of Christianity were removed or obscured when the Ottoman Empire converted the church into a mosque. It remained a mosque until 1931 until it was re-opened in 1935 as a museum by the Republic of Turkey. Hagia Sophia is now home to many valuable art works. I couldn’t help but feel reflective while standing beneath the marble columns and thinking of the empires, conflicts, and battles of the past.

KeBAB, COFFee, wANdeRINg ANd SHOPPINg There are hundreds of interesting things in Istanbul that I wish to experience. I spent my little time strolling down some streets and wandering along subtly sloped lanes, guessing into and searching for their architectural riddles. When the burden of my camera became too heavy to bear and my feet were unable to walk anymore, I stopped at a beautiful cafä at the corner of a lane. Charming boys and girls were relaxing to enjoy their ice-cream and pastries. I occasionally entered in a shop, gazed at some unique souvenirs to add to my “travel collection”. There is an array of things to buy yet I had already spent most of my money on old postcards, old stamps, and landscape paintings of Istanbul’s past. You might be wondering what the most vexing part of my journey to Istanbul was. That would be the kebabs - the famed Turkish wrap. It took me lots of time to decide which type of kebab to order as there are dozens of kebabs served at a traditional restaurant. And upon choosing, I regretted not choosing others.

Choosing is always difficult when we are surrounded by so many attractive options!

Istanbul is located on the Silk Road and commerce has developed for thousands of years into an art in itself.

They rarely give you a price for their wares but assert the quality of their goods first.

THE MYTHICAL LAND

While Istanbul is well known for magnificent man-made works, Cappadocia is a majestic work of Mother Nature. Recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site in 1985, Cappadocia attracts millions of visitors each year. There are two airports here, one in the Northeast and one in Northwest of Goreme, Cappadociaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional capital. It takes only a little over an hour to fly from Istanbul to Cappadocia. However, I decided to fly from Istanbul to Ankara then took a bus from Ankara to Cappadocia as I wanted to visit the tombs and museum of Ataturk, the revolutionary leader credited as the founder of modern Turkey.

volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. As the rock below the top layer of basalt is extremely soft, it can be easily carved. Earthquakes and continuing erosion have contributed to form the todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape. The land has become a famous destination thanks to not only its special geographical features but also its cultural and historic heritage which has remained completely intact.

Before arriving in Cappadocia, I stopped at Lake Tuz (Salt Lake) - a unique natural destination in Turkey. Lake Tuz is not only a famous destination but also produces many of the ingredients for making cosmetics and around 65% of the salt consumed in Turkey.

Cappadocia is like a forgotten fairyland separated from the modern world. The pristine beauty of the arid plateau and peaceful way of life here are the greatest draw to this area. The localsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives are rustic and simple. Their primary occupations are farming, producing and selling handicrafts, and providing tourism services. Being somewhat timid, they rarely go out of their residences, but they are very friendly and hospitable.

Lying in the central Anatolian plateau, Cappadocia is famous for its unusual rock formations, the result of

To protect themselves from the extreme weather (high temperatures and

strong winds in summer, heavy snow in winter), locals have carved their houses into stone pillars. Many houses, churches, and in fact the whole city was built in that way in the Roman period. Nowadays, these buildings are still around but most of them are being used for tourism. Cave hotels are are a favorite among travelers in Cappadocia.

From my point of view, you should spend at least 3 days exploring the three main areas of Cappadocia. Central Cappadocia with the regional capital Goreme and

neighboring towns like Uchisa, Cavusin, and Ugrup are always bustling with visitors from around the world. In each village, you can find numerous cave hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops, spas, Turkish baths, and mini-markets selling goods till midnight. Avanos village in particular, renowned for its tranquility, is the place where talented artists craft the most beautiful ceramics and hand-woven carpets in the world. The second area includes spectacular UNESCO heritage sites: the Pasabag Valley and Pigeon Valley. Pasaba means

Pachaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vineyard in Turkish. The place is also called Monks Valley because of its pillars which look like monks wearing medieval coat and hood. The Pigeon Valley is a valley of pigeons. Locals carve into stone to build houses for the pigeons to live and reproduce. The last area consists of heritage sites that embody the rich culture and long history of the land. They are underground cities - the invaluable assets preserved and strictly protected by the government.

KAYMAKLI UNDERGROUND CITY, CHURCHES AND MONASTERIES

p to now, archaeologists have discovered 40 underground cities of various sizes in Cappadocia. The largest one is Kaymakli. Strange as it is, they divided separate living areas for each family within the community. Besides living rooms and bedrooms, kitchens, storage places, wine or oil presses, fitness areas, and public restrooms are also found here. They also had means of communication allowing them to transfer sounds between households and floors. The Kaymakli underground city features 8 floors with a simple but magical air system that ensured circulation. Currently, excavations are still being carried out. Experts estimate that there are more than 100 underground cities in Cappadocia. While you can find hundreds of gorgeous mosques in Istanbul, Cappadocia is a Mecca of Christianity. Of all the relics and monuments here, the Goreme open-air museum is the first sight to be visited by any traveler in Cappadocia. The museum resembles a vast complex composed of monasteries, churches and chapels built in the early Middle Ages. All the works here were carved directly into the rock. From the monuments, visitors can imagine the asceticism and simplicity of the monks’ lives. In the complex of 30 churches and chapels, there are also many beautiful frescoes, relics, and remains of the monks who decided to dedicate themselves to God for eternity.

SUNRISE FROM A HOT AIR BALLOON To contemplate completely the spectacular beauty of Cappadocia’s natural architecture, there is nothing better than joining a hot air balloon tour. For only 200-250 USD, you will have about 1 hour to fly over this area. However simple it seems, it takes some luck to visit on a beautiful day as good weather is a compulsory condition for the hot air balloons to fly. The hotel’s alarm awakened me at 4:30 am. It was still dark and cold. We traveled by bus from the hotel to the gathering place of KAPADOKYA BALLOONS Company in Goreme. It is a low-rise building designed like a mountain with a beautiful grapevine trellis and a large garden. About 60 guests were waiting, having breakfast with tea, coffee, and cakes.

MR TR¡N DUY NAM FOUNDER OF PIXEL PHOTOGRAPHY After your trip to Turkey, what do you think about the country? What impressed you the most? I’m mesmerized by everything in Turkey. The traditions and religions blend harmoniously with the speed of modern life. Man-made works do not make the landscape less beautiful. The combination of Asian and European culture is reflected in people, cuisine, and even in the weather. If time allowed, my journey to explore that combination would have resulted in the stories within stories as in "One thousand and One Nights". Do you have any advice or recommendations for those who are planning to visit Turkey in the near future? Turkey is an endless inspiration. I just want to say that you mustn’t hesitate to visit this country. Prepare for your luggage and start your journey now!

he most interesting part was seeing the cave cities where Cappadocia’s inhabitants used to live. Altogether, these cities formed an enormous architectural network with strong community connections. The expedition came to end after one hour. A champagne party was ready for the guests and the crew to celebrate and take photos. Before saying goodbye, the KAPADOKYA BALLOONS Company gave us a surprise by presenting each guest a certificate of having FLOWN IN A HOT AIR BALLOON.

We have surveyed European travel agents regarding the project of the direct route to Vietnam. Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The number of Vietnamese travelers is increasing sharply, and the Vietnam-Europe market is growing very fast. Turkish Airlines is right in the middle of this big potential. Turkish Airlines demonstrates its desire to work with Vietnam by opening a new direct flight to Hanoi and a non-stop flight to HCMC beginning June 27th, 2016. We do believe that our new product will match with travelling needs of people in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Hanoians will get good chance to take non-stop flight to any destinations around the world on Turkish Airlines.

Therefore, I chose a soft and airy outfit clothes mixed with slip-ons so that I could enjoy walking around the large squares and strolling down every corner. A cardigan, which helped me keep warm when the winds came in the dark, was one of the most important items.

When you truly love your "garden" and put your mind into each tiny bud, some fresh green plants can bring you more joy dispelling your fatigue and workplace stress. Take a lovely vase and start "gardening" now!

MÈt sË tip n™n nhÌ tr≠Ìc khi "lµm v≠Ín"

Some useful tips for "gardening":

- Nh˜ng c©y ≠a n≠Ìc: sen tim, trÛc xanh, trÛc khÛc...

- Hydrophilic plants: argyroderma patens

- C©y c«n n≠Ìc vıa ph∂i: Sen ng‰c, sen phÀt bµ, sen vi“n t›m, hÂng træng - Khńg ≠a n≠Ìc: Sedum, th≠Óc d≠Óc, sen ng‰c l∏ trn, sao bi”n... - Khi k’t hÓp c©y xanh (fittonia, cau ti”u tr©m, tÔng mini...) vÌi c∏c loπi sen Æ∏ n™n Æ∆t xa nhau mÈt chÛt. - Khńg n™n Æ∆t loπi ≠a n≠Ìc vµ khńg ≠a n≠Ìc cπnh nhau.

- Plants which need an average amount of water: Haworthia cooperi, H. Cymbiformis, Echeverias, Aeonium canariense, white succulent. - Hydrophobic plants: Sedum, Dahlia, Haworthia cooperi with round leaves and Haworthia. - Keep succulents a bit separate from fittonia, howea forsteriana, mini juniper and other green plants. - Spread a layer of gravel at the bottom of the vase to combat flooding. - Soil and gravel should be as high as half a bottle to ensure both the vase's aesthetics and the length of the roots.

'm an adult now, and although I'm quite busy with work, I always manage to put aside some time to relive these childhood memories when summer comes around, like when I'm wandering around the Old Quarter and stop at a familiar restaurant to taste the flavors of my childhood. Winter is the time for chÃ sen, chÃ tr´i tµu, and chÃ con ong while chÃ cËm and chÃ th≠ng are for autumn. So what about summer, the best season to enjoy cold sweet soup? You have an array of them, from chÃ ÆÀu xanh, ChÃ ÆÀu Æen, chÃ buÎi, chË sen, and chÃ khoai to chÃ chuËi. And it doesn't matter if you want to seek a new experience by ordering a hot bowl of sweet soup during the hot summer days.

ChÃ ÆÀu xanh (Green bean sweet soup), one member in "the chÃ collection", always convinces me that green beans and coconut milk - its two main ingredients- were born to be together.

Enjoy a bowl of chÃ ÆÀu xanh with ice and forget all your fatigue on account of the heat.

Just a few days ago, I went off in search of the Malaysian Bajau, who are also known as sea gypsies. My expedition was no smooth ride, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to come in contact with these people who live far away from civilization. It was a true obstacle course. After several hours in flight, I touched down in Kuala Lumpur before connecting with another three hour flight to Tawau. After an hour and a half by bus, I finally managed to reach Semporna, one of the largest cities in Borneo and an important harbor. It is from here that the tourists leave to go enjoy the wonderful dive sites that Malaysia has to offer.

Traditionally, the Bajau resided in small boats, sailing day and night with the currents, relying only on their fishing gear to make a living.

MANAGING WITH A VAGUE HOPE While trying to find a solution on how to cross over to the other side, which only takes an hour by motorboat, I was amazed at how difficult it was to find someone who would agree to take me. Indeed, the few specialized agencies in the area refuse to sail anywhere but to the resorts. I was therefore forced to find a solution on the pier, walking for hours along the waterfront as I addressed the fishermen moored for the day, but unfortunately, no one spoke English. When I finally managed to make myself understood, they gave me exorbitant and unjustified prices. I had no choice but to sleep on site, being careful to stay on my guard and keep my head down. In recent years, tourist kidnappings have become pretty common on this part of the island. Sometimes Islamist terrorist groups track down holidaymakers, follow them in order to establish the appropriate time to kidnap them, and then demand a ransom for their release. In November 2013, a Taiwanese tourist was killed in one of the bungalows at the resort where he was staying. Tension is omnipresent and kidnappings are becoming more and more frequent in this seemingly paradisiacal destination. Soldiers are everywhere to be seen in the main tourist areas but not on most of the islands I was planning to visit. At the heart of this dangerous environment and concerned for my safety, I was almost about to give up. But my patience paid off. One morning I finally saw my chance to reach the islands after meeting a man named Karim, a Bajau who could speak a few words of English. This was a huge stroke of luck for the photographer who was longing to meet these

people. Karim offered to take me to the islands inhabited by members of his ethnic group. He seemed surprised by my request, being as most of the travelers usually want to go straight to the lagoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coral reefs, and have no real wishes to meet the locals. But, touched by my interest, he accepted to take me with him, and we embarked on an expedition through Malaysian waters.

IN THE WORLD OF REAL MERMEN Traditionally, the Bajau resided in small boats, sailing day and night with the currents, relying only on their fishing gear to make a living. This is how they earned the title, "the nomads of the seas". Others used to live in hiding, and many still live in remote floating villages built on coral reefs within the trough of the lagoon. Today, many have come ashore to live on the small islands but continue to cultivate their nautical mastery while weighing their fish on a small scale. I was curious to know more about these men and women who have chosen to live remote lives, far away from the cities and their temptations. The sight that awaited me made my whole being tremble as I saw in the distance, on the horizon, an island lost in the royal blue immensity. I had arrived at Tabbalanos island. The ship dropped anchor within reach of a tiny island on which only a single tree stood against the sun. I was immediately struck by the magic of the place: a swing was hanging proudly on one of the branches, indicating the presence of children, who quickly came running out towards the boat, intrigued by the presence of this newcomer.

was greeted by dozens of smiles. The little group of children gathering around me were over the moon with joy as I produced a packet of biscuits from the bag, bought a few seconds earlier from one of the shops. I’m used to being asked for food and money, but by distributing the biscuits and exchanging a few friendly looks, the Bajau children soon got used to my presence and went back to playing in the water. Of all the people in the world, the Bajau spend the most time in the water. These are real mermen, the people who only feel whole when in their element: the ocean.

I managed to visit the other islands where the Bajau live over the next four days. Some of the islands such as Tabbalanos are not even referenced on the internet, perhaps because they are too small for the giant that Google has become. Yet this might be what has preserved the tranquility of its inhabitants. I traveled across the ocean and met the tribes on the islands of Mabul, Omadal, Sibuan, Maiga, and the village of Tagatan. The houses in Tagatan are built on stilts over the lagoon. I met a family there who had fled from the Philippines a few years earlier to settle in this peaceful haven.

I could easily count the number of bungalows on Though small, each of these places are different. the island, eleven altogether.

still celebrate the day she moved there with the Okunchi festival from October 7th-9th. Faifo is the old name of Hoi An, but nobody knows exactly where it is derived from. We just know that on the map of Indochina Cochinchine, the French, Spanish, and Portuguese referred to Hoi An as Faifo. In 1535, Captain Antonio de Faria, a Portuguese explore, visited this area for the first time to establish a sea harbor. In 1595, the name Hoi An officially appeared on the map of marine business thanks to Princess Nguyen Hoang - the pioneer who worked to expand the country’s borders to the south, and created a foundation to form Dang Trong which later became the pearl of Far East. It was not until we felt tired and stopped at a restaurant named Faifo that I began wondering about the name. Looking at the restaurant board, I smiled and asked "Why are there so many things named Faifo here?" My local friend answered right off the bat, "Faifo is the old name of Hoi An, dear!". You can find a Faifo fabric shop, a Faifo

restaurant, and a Faifo cafä. This old name hearkens back to the glory days of Hoi An as a bustling commercial harbor. Don't move fast in Hoi An, slow your speed, sit down at the Faifo cafä rooftop and enjoy a cup of coffee. Perhaps, this is the only cafä in the Old Town offering a panoramic view of Hoi An. There are many lovely cafes in the heart of Hoi An, some of them sit quietly on stilts, some are simply a house with a sunny balcony, and some of them are on airy rooftops. And you don't need to seek restaurants on websites. Just stroll down the small streets, and you'll randomly come upon any number of food stalls if you like to test your luck. Life is like a box of chocolates; let's find your own taste among the different flavors! "Dolce far niente" - do nothing except lye on Cua Dai Beach, smell the clean ocean wind, listen to the melodies of waves, and bathe under the sun. That's enough for you to taste the true sweetness of Hoi An. Cycle about 30 minutes and you will reach Cua Dai beach.

You may see some common sites; vast green fields of rice, a rustic blue school, and children happily calling their friends after school. If you have a chance, why don't you visit Cua Dai - one of the most beautiful beaches in Asia - to take in the fresh beauty of nature at sunset? We stopped at the Palm Garden Resort, which boasts a great beach which hasn't been affected much by the sea. At the resort, you can welcome the sunrise under the palm trees as you enjoy a loaf of bread and a warm cup of ginger tea. If you like horse riding, you can take a horse along the beach for a breath of fresh air. In the morning, friendly horse jockeys are always willing to introduce you to their 4 legged friends. For me, I love eating m◊ Qu∂ng, kho quãt, and braised meat with eggs as I reminisce of home. And don't forget to enjoy an effervescent night here with warm vocal artists from the Philippines: "Hello, it's me I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet..." TRAVELLIVE

Perhaps April is the best time to visit Yamanashi and Ibaraki. You can enjoy a bottle from the last batch of Sake produced in the snowy season, â&#x20AC;&#x153;huntâ&#x20AC;? for Sakura - a wine only produced during the cherry blossom season in April. In the meantime as summer approaches, try a fresh bottle of sweet Umeshu.

BRAVING THE SNOW IN OUR QUEST FOR FINE SAKE Just an hour and half from Tokyo by train, Yamanashi is a rustic prefecture with large fruit gardens, bucolic rice fields, tranquil streets, and is as charming as a forest painting. April is sake harvest time. During this season, no matter where you go, you can notice the dry rounded sheaves hanging in doorways, an announcement that they are ready for the fresh batches of sake. Most Sake breweries are over 100 years old and passed down from generation to generation. The Yamanashi Meijo brewery is 300 years old! To make sake, they must polish the rice to remove the bran (the outer protein coat) to expose the inner starch, the “soul” of sake. However, it’s not economical to polish the rice too much. Therefore, for practical purposes, only 30% of the outside coat is removed. Some breweries remove up to 60% to make aristocratic-grade sake - daiginjo. Those who invite you to have a glass of daiginjo surely appreciate your company.

If you are more into traditional breweries, the Yamaki Sake Brewery might resonate best with you... The owner is quite enthusiastic about showing us around the brewery to witness the stages of making sake. We even got a close up look at how they temper the koji rice. After being polished, the rice is steamed and fermented with mold (koji). You might imagine moldy rice to be quite foul, but actually the subtle scent of koji is not unpleasant, and it gives the rice a slightly sweet flavor. One must be very careful when working with koji because it is very sensitive to the outside environment. A little sweat, dust, perfume, or make-up powder can ruin the wine easily. Breweries rarely allow visitors to come near the koji room, not to mention enter and taste the rice! After the rice is introduced to the koji mold, yeast and water are added to begin the fermentation process. The more “delicious” the water is, the better the sake and the best sakes are fermented at low temperatures. If you want to know where great sake is, look up places near mountains and springs with the purest water. Grab your backpack and go to the snowy places. Chances are, you’ll

find what you’re looking for. While Yamanashi has the great water source, Ibaraki is famous for its high-quality rice. Just 1 hour and 50 minutes from Tokyo by train, Ibaraki is a must-visit destination for foodies and flower lovers alike. If you love sake, then pay a visit Sudohonke Sake Brewery - one of the 10 oldest businesses in Japan with a history of nearly one thousand years. This place impresses me with it quality of sake, especially the Junmai Ginjo Sake - the sato no homare or pride of the village. Sato no homare made from yamada nishiki (60% removed bran) has a fresh smell like licorice and mint. Those who love sake all know that sake is “young” wine. It means no one saves sake but enjoy its original taste right in the season. Sake is difficult to store because of the effects of temperature, space and smell of surrounding areas. It’s a surprise that Sudohonke Sake Brewer has saved some sake to produce aged sake. Sake is saved for dozens, or even hundreds of years. Maybe, few decades later, we can taste the very first sips of the aged sake when returning to Ibaraki.

Umeshu - one of the most interesting fruit wines in the world, is made from Japanese apricot named ume.

akura is a little sweet and fruity and pairs well with any dish from grilled, deli meat, salad, to fruits and pastries. Unlike other wines, sakura isn’t aged. Grapes are harvested in the summer to produce Sakura wine the next spring. No one saves it for years to come; therefore, Sakura wine is quite rare. However, it isn’t expensive. You can buy a 500ml bottle of wine for 14USD. The best things go with their season, so enjoy the cherry blossoms season in April with Sakura - the wine of spring!

Umeshu: Summer winds in Ibaraki Ibaraki is famous for its Kairakuen Garden with more than 3,000 apricot trees. This garden is an ideal place for visitors to spend a

day wandering around and enjoying the fragrance of apricot blossoms and imbibing apricot wine at summer night parties. Endowed by nature with pure water, fertile soil, and an especially abundant variety of apricots, Ibaraki has become home to more than sake breweries. Umeshu - one of the most interesting fruit wines in the world, is made from Japanese apricots named ume. Ume is much bigger and fleshier than the apricots or plums in Vietnam. If you are curious about how the ancient Japanese produced Umeshu and sake, then visit Umeshu & Sake Besshunkan Museum at the Meiri Shurui Brewery. Long ago, Tokugawa Mitsukuni - the second leader of Mito- was passionate about sake and often held wine parties he called “besshunnkae” because for him “there was a spring in a glass of sake”. With a

name which means wine parties, the Umeshu & Sake Besshunkan Museum is a wonderful place to explore how alcohols were made in the Edo period. Along the corridor are huge jars containing sake and ume. There are different methods of making umeshu, but the most popular way is to soak the ume in sake. Umeshu sake has a distinct flavor. Some people also use Ginjo sake to make umeshu. Besides sochu, brandy, whisky, and rum can be used to make Umeshu such as Baiko Hyakunen - the standard umeshu of Meiri Shurui Brewery. This was also ranked Japan’s best umeshu in 2008. To make Hyakunen Umeshu, they soak ume in a mixture of honey and 5-year-old brandy. It features a bold sweet flavor and long aftertaste. Umeshu is as fresh and sweet as summer, and as pure as the color of amber and is also good for your health. A glass of umeshu served with a black forest chocolate cake or other delicious dessert is a great choice for the hot days. It’s easy to understand why visitors to Mito, the main city of Ibaraki, always buy a bottle of umeshu.

Creative craft beer Another interesting thing that Japan offers visitors is the beer workshop of

Kiuchi Brewery in Ibaraki where the famed Hitachino Nest beer is produced. Originally specializing in Sake, Kiuchi Brewery gradually began developing craft beer since they can produce beer all year round, unlike sake which is specific to winter. Apart from craft beer, sake, sochu, and umeshu are also the products of Kiuchi Brewery. The most exciting thing is that Kiuchi Brewery allows you to observe the beer making process and create your own craft flavors with different sorts of malts such as caramel, wheat, pale, and Munich. In Japan, it’s illegal to brew your own wine and beer; therefore, many people bring their own stuff to Kiuchi Brewery to create their favorite flavors. Some people even bring coffee syrup from Italy to create their own signature beer. You should buy the white and amber ales (traditionally made from humulus lupulus) - the two most popular of Kiuchi’s products. The red rice ale (made from Japanese red rice) or real ginger ale are also pretty good. If you’re looking for an “Ibaraki product”, then try Kiuchi Umeshu, a special liqueur distilled from Hitachino Nest Beer White Ale infused with local green ume. The slightly sweet Kiuchi Umeshu, with the fine flavor of ume and the fresh fragrance of almond, is a favorite for many women.

The 30-day visa exemption for foreign tourists to the island has also attracted more and more visitors to Phu Quoc in the last 2 years. HUE Pilots and balloonists from Thailand, the Netherlands, Malaysia, Switzerland, the Republic of Korea, the United States and the Philippines will participate in The International Hot Air Balloon Festival 2016 to be organized in Thua Thien-Hue on May 4th and 5th.

Noi Bai ranked 80th, gaining 136 spots from last year (No.218 in 2015). The airport was judged the World's Most Improved Airport thanks to the advances it has made in service quality in recent years. The Skytrax World Airport Awards are the most prestigious in the airport industry. Travelers from across the globe take part each year in the world's largest airline passenger satisfaction survey to decide the award winners. The survey ran from June 2015 to February 2016, covering 550 airports worldwide. The award can be considered a "certificate" for quality. HOI AN Hoi An has tested its first public bus route around the city. This bus route (about 10km) runs through some notable sites such as the Tra Que vegetable village, An Bang beach, Cua Dai beach and past 7 schools. The bus makes 53 trips from 8am to 9pm. It takes 50 minutes to finish a trip, including 23 minutes in motion and 30 minutes picking up passengers at the 10 stops. The project is implemented by Hoi An and the Action for Urban Development Centre sponsored by the Japan Fund for Global Environment. QUANG TRI Those who previously wanted to visit Con Co Island had to hire

a fishing boat, but Quang Tri has chartered a private agency to open a route connecting Con Co Island with the mainland. The tour was launched in early April. There are two tours each week with package prices at VND700,000/guest for a one-day tour or VND1,000,000/ guest if staying overnight. The ship takes about 2 hours to reach the island. Visitors to Con Co Island can trek in a primary forest, sightsee at the light house, go diving in a coral reef, and go fishing near the beach or on a boat in the evening. HCMC Southern Airports Services Joint Stock Company has cooperated with the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transportation to introduce high-quality buses (No.109) running a route from Tan Son Nhat Airport to the centre of Ho Chi Minh City. Buses on the 45 minute route operate between 05:30 am and 01:30 am at 15-20 minute intervals. Trips of less than 5 km are priced at VND12,000 while those over 5 km cost VND20,000. The buses have modern designs and a capacity of 70 passengers each and conform to Euro II emissions and safety standards for passengers.

BANGKOK, THAILAND Thailand,s first electric bus in Bangkok has begun its trial run between Don Mueang Airport and Mo Chit bus terminal. The bus is 12 meters long and has 35 seats. It has on-board WiFi and is also wheelchair accessible. Each bus is equipped with a 324kWh battery pack which can run up to 250km and can be fully charged within 5 hours. Moreover, there is GPS so passengers can know exactly their current position. If the three-month trial run is successful, 20 more electric buses will be bought in May. The city is making an effort to replace the old diesel and gas buses to reduce pollution.

PREMIER VILLAGE DANANG The Premier Village Danang Resort has been listed by TripAdvisor as one of the best family hotels and resorts in Vietnam. The award is based on the votes and reviews of travelers from around the world. The Premier Village Danang Resort features 118 5-star seaside villas with luxurious services that meet international standards. The resort is professionally managed by Accor Hotels, the world's leading hotel managing corporation.
