The Mist Show The Mist tells the story of a Southern Vietnamese farming life, expressed through neo-classic and contemporary dance by skifful artists. Writing in body language the stories of rice, a powerful symbol of Vietnam as a nation with agriculture root, the Mist is a grand metaphor of farmers' fate, from their misty dawn on the fields, their hardship, and will power to rise up from humble muddy soil to brace storms, to the the moment they arrive joyously like shining pearls at harvest. The show is an hour of emotions, with myriad ups and downs, painted by sensational live music, splendid visuals, colorful lighting effects, and nonchalant interaction with the audience.

One hundred years of honor he idea of a penthouse apartment was born in the 1920s, when economic growth brought a construction boom to New York City along with a high demand for luxurious apartments among the upper class. Penthouse apartments have gone beyond the normal concepts of living to become highend residences within metropolitan living spaces that are reserved for the most wealthy. One of the first penthouses was owned by American media magnate CondĂ¤ Montrose Nast, the father of Vogue and Vanity Fair. His apartment was a penthouse duplex (two floors connecting) with an area of 465 m2 that included luxurious features such as a large function room, a ballroom, a library, and a beauty salon. Another notable penthouse was designed in 1925 for Marjorie Merriweather Post, the founder of General Foods and one of first truly rich women in America. Her penthouse apartment occupied the entire top three floors of the 1107 Fifth Avenue building in Manhattan, and included a rooftop, 17 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a wine cellar, a flower and fur storage room, and a dining room for 125 guests. A luxurious penthouse apartment was considered the gold standard for an upper class life. Today, penthouse apartments can be found all over the world from Hong Kong, to London, to Los Angeles, and to most major cities around the world. The owners of the most luxurious penthouses are well-known names such as Donald Trump, or singer Jennifer Lopez. For the past one hundred years, the demand for luxurious penthouses has never ceased, and the standards are getting higher when it comes to extravagant penthouses that can provide their residents the ultimate in comfort and convenience.

o own a penthouse with the most luxurious of features, buyers often have to spend tremendous amounts of money to purchase them. The cost of a city penthouse could be up to hundreds of millions of US dollars.

Located on the top floor of the Odeon Tower in Monaco is the Million Sky Penthouse, which has 5 floors over a space of 3,000m2 is currently the world's most expensive penthouse, and is valued at 387 million USD. The penthouse features 5 bedrooms on all 5 levels, a ballroom on an entire floor, and two

swimming pools on two different floors connected by a water slide. From the penthouse's gorgeous rooftop, you can enjoy amazing views of the French Riviera. Another penthouse located on the top floor of 220 Central Park South in New York City is worth 250 million USD, which includes 4 floors and 5 balconies overlooking the stunning Central Park. With 16 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, this apartment has so much space that you will have a hard time choosing where to sleep or relax. As expensive as these penthouses can be, they are much sought after by the most wealthy since they can

provide not only an extravagant living space with elements from nature, but also an unique location high up in the sky, and above noisy and crowded urban life where owners can enjoy breathtaking views of the world below them. The number of penthouses is, however, rather low since not all high-rise buildings can be built with a penthouse on top. This scarcity makes penthouses the most expensive apartments in the market, and forces those who want to own them into a fierce race. Penthouses have always reflected the status, style, and wealth of the super-rich. TRAVELLIVE

A day is probably all you need to explore all of Denmark's capital. Let us follow the steps of travel blogger Ly Thanh Co on a beautiful sunny day to visit Copenhagen's most popular attrations and less frequented places around the city.

TRAVELLIVE

ExploRE NyhavN, thE film loCatioN of "thE DaNish GiRl"

t is easy to recognize the stunning backdrops of Nyhavn from the Oscarwinning movie "The Danish Girl". Nyhavn, which means "New Harbor" in Danish, is one of the most iconic places in Copenhagen, and was once known for its maritime life. The historic habor is lined with brightly colored townhouses on the northern side or "sunny side" featuring numerous restaurants, beer taverns, and even strip clubs, while the southern side or "shady side" is filled with tourism offices and bicycle rental shops. The Nyhavn Bridge links the "sunny side" to the "shady side", and crosses the Nyhavn Canal. Much like the Pont des Arts in Paris, this is the place where lovey-dovey couples come to profess their love for one another by leaving a love lock on the bridge. If you travel alone, grab an ice cream and enjoy the habor's picturesque setting on the sunny side, as food sometimes can be your best travel companion!

ENjoy tRaDitioNal DaNish CuisiNE Smørrebrød is one of the most delicious Nordic specialties I have tried during my trip. Originally a Danish farmer's lunch, Smørrebrød gradually became a popular national dish in Denmark. The food is an open sandwich that consists of a slice of buttered rye bread, and a topping of fish or meat, and vegetables with sauces drizzled on top. Personally, I find its taste a little bland, but the freshness of the seafood more than makes

up for it. Smørrebrød can be a perfect dish to cure your hunger when you have been out walking all morning! You can find this amazing dish almost anywhere in Copenhagen. I had mine at the Hallernes Smørrebrød, a specialty shop for Smørrebrød. The price for a serving of Smørrebrød is around 95 DKK (356,000 VND) depending on the toppings of your choice. Address: Rømersgade 18, 1360 København, Denmark TRAVELLIVE

i did not intend to do any shopping, so i decided to take a stroll around the area, WiNDoW shoppiNG iN stRØGEt Strøget is considered the largest shopping street in Copenhagen, and is popular with both locals and visitors alike. I did not intend to do any shopping, so I decided to take a stroll around the area, which I enjoyed immensely since Strøget offers you the most astounding of Danish architecture.

ENjoy amaziNG viEWs of CopENhaGEN at thE RuNDEtaaRN The Rundetaarn (Round Tower in English) is a tower located in the heart of Copenhagen that dates back to the 17th century. Originally built as an astronomical observatory by Christian IV, the most notable feature about Rundetaarn is that instead of stairs, it uses a spiral ramp to allow a horse and carriage to reach the top of the tower.

GET THERE ñ Many airlines provide connecting flights to Copenhagen. It is quite easy to fly to Copenhagen since this the most popular tourist destination in Europe. Return tickets from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi cost around 15 million to 20 million VND, depending on which season you travel, and are more expensive in summer.

he Rundetaarn is, today, the highest standing point in Copenhagen that offers expansive views of the city below. A good time to visit the tower is in late afternoon, when you can admire the city view and watch the sunset at the same time. Address: Købmagergade 52A, 1150 København, Denmark

visit loCal maRkEt toRvEhallERNE orvehallerne is an exciting local market in Copenhagen that you must visit. The market is filled with mostly locals instead of tourists, and is where you can truly experience the culinary and shopping style of the Danish people. I would not have discovered this amazing market, if not for my friend who has lived in Denmark for 10 years. Torvehallerne has two main halls that specialize in different types of fresh groceries, small restaurants, take out places, and a huge open area to meet the diverse needs of its visitors. Visit the market's gourmet dining area to taste the most exquisite international and Danish specialties. You can also buy amazing Danish chocolate and spices here. Summer Bird is a famous organic chocolate brand in Denmark, and is a must try for all who visit. Traveles like riding bicycles in Copenhagen.

WatCh thE Rush houRs iN CopENhaGEN Copenhagen is widely known as a bicycle heaven, and watching the bikes at rush hours is an unique experience that you will not find elsewhere. Bicycles in Copenhagen have always been the dominant from of transportation, and are a remarkable highlight of the cityscape. The city of Copenhagen is known to provide all kinds of efficient cycling infrastructure to ensure their cyclists are happy, making Copenhagen one of the most bicycle friendly cities in the world. Every day, people in Copenhagen ride a total distance of 1.2 million km with 36% of the cycling distance is to work, schools, or colleges. At rush hours, you will not find the annoying sound of cars honk, but the swift rolling sound of the wheels that pass by, or the soft "ting ting" sound from bikes to warn pedestrians. CURRENCY ñ The Krone is the official currency of Denmark. 1 DKK = 3,700 VND. If only staying for a short time, swiping cards is recommended since everything can be purchased by card in Denmark. The exchange rate will be lower if you use a national bank. Just be sure to let your bank know that you'll be travelling abroad or else they might freeze your account thinking someone has stolen your card. VISA ñ You can apply for a Schengen visa which allows you to enter 26 Schengen countries. Information on the visa application you can find at the Danish Consulate. Do try to combine other destinations such as Norway, Sweden, or Germany in your itinerary. EXPENSE ñ Denmark and especially Copenhagen are relatively expensive. Your hotel

accommodation can cost 1.2 million - 1.5 million VND a night, meals 1 million a day, transportaion 566,000 VND a day for the 24h metro pass, making a total expense of 3 million VND a day. Admission to most attractions in Copenhagen however are free, unless you want to book a day tour. TRIP DURATION ñ Copenhagen is not a particular large city, but to make the most of your time, you should spend at least 3 days to truly experience the amazing capital. TIME TO TRAVEL ñ The best season to visit Copenhagen is in spring and summer. The average temperature ranges from 10-15 degrees, and at their highest is 25 degrees in the summer. April, May, and June are the best times to explore Copenhagen, but the city will be filled with tourists. If you prefer a quieter Copenhagen, and are

not afraid of colder temperatures, February and March are ideal times to travel. MUST-TRY TOURS ñ The Canal Tours' Grand Tour Copenhagen is a wonderul way of seeing Copenhagen, where you get to experience the idyllic harbors, and canals of the city. The tour is free if you have purchased a Copenhagen Card, if not, the price is 80 DKK per person. ñ Book a Guided Bike Tour with the Cycling Embassy of Denmark.

Following the story about the commorant fisherman on the Li River (China), travel blogger Tam Bui is back to share with us another journey of his, this time to the land of the Pharaohs, and a beautiful oasis town called Siwa, home to one of north Africa's ethnic group, the Berbers.

As part of our 21-day journey in Egypt, we spent three days to explore the remote town of Siwa. Buses were our only mean of transportation, and it took us over 11 hours to cross a stretch of nearly 600 km from Cairo to reach the oasis. Siwa is located in the heart of Egypt's Western Desert, away from urbanization. In the past, making it across the desert required one to travel in groups, carry a lot of food, and drinking water, and strictly follow the guide since a simple mishap could easily lead

to the death of members. Groups traveling as such would sometimes encounter thieves, get robbed, or worst, be killed. Now, all you have to do is simply buy a bus ticket. The oasis borders Libya to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. We arrived in Siwa when the dawn was just about to break. A carriage was hired to get us to the hotel, where we immediately took a nap after our long and exhausting bus ride. We got up at noon to have some lunch before heading out to the streets with our cameras.

visit the 700 year-old fortress We climbed to the highest point of Shali Fortress to admire the breathtaking views of Siwa at sunset. The oasis is surrounded by layers and layers of date palms, and it is easy to find ripe dates everywhere on the ground. Date palms may look similar to oil palms, but their leaves are thinner. Date fruits grow in groups like the areca nuts, but they are smaller in size and darkened when ripe with soft, tender flesh and a syrupy flavor.

experience a nomadic life in the desert

It became a fun thing for us to try to pick up dates from the ground right in front of our hotel room to eat. Considered truly magnificent ruins that all must visit in Siwa, the ancient Shali Fortress's buildings were built in the 13th century using a salt and mud mixture taken from a lake nearby. The only reason why they remain for so long is due to the fact that the desert almost never rains. It took us about 20 minutes to reach the top of the fort. To have a better view of Shali though, we decided to climb up a hill about 2km away. The fortress looked absolutely stunning in the soft afternoon light. Some structures still remain inhabited, or have been turned into souvenir shops. Despite its remote location in the desert, Siwa Oasis is full of life thanks to its copious supply water by underground springs. How amazing is that? Our Egyptian guide took us to a spring which provided water spillling of the ground. Locals often gather here for a nice and relaxing bath in the afternoon. Near the springs are crops planted by the

We booked a 4WD car and a driver from the hotel to take us around the desert, and catch the incredible sunset. The sun was bright red when it sank deep into huge sand dunes. We slept in a desert tourist camp that night. The evening temperature dropped drastically down to 7-8 degrees Celsius. With hungry stomachs, we sat by the fire to keep warm, while waiting for our chicken to be roasted in a very special way. The chicken was put into a large tin with a lid, then covered, and buried in the sand. A large fire was placed right above the tin to cook the chicken inside. The smell of the chicken was absolutely mouth-watering since we were all cold and hungry. It was a truly unforgettable meal. The desert's night sky was stunningly clear, and the stars shined bright. We put on some warm clothes, and climbed up a nearby hill to try to catch a glimpse of the milky way. Out of nowhere, a fox showed up, and seemed rather curious about us! I was a little scary, so I tried to reach a higher ground. The curious creature immdediately ran away. When we got up in the morning, we saw their footprints everywhere around our tent. Our camp consists of about 10 small tents, set up into a rectangle. The largest tents can accommodate up to 15 people, whereas the small

ones only had space for 4-5 people. Blankets and pillows are provided, as well as thick sleeping bags to help us fight the evening temperature. Since electricity was out of the question, torches were used instead. A large fire was set up in the middle the camp ground to keep us warm throughout the night. We were reliving the stories told in "One Thousand and One Nights" it seemed. It felt incredible to be sleeping in a tent in the middle of the desert under the starry night sky, while listening to ancient Arabian stories. The experience is a must-try for all who visit Egypt. GET THERE ñ From Ho Chi Minh City, you have to transit in Abu Dhabi before boarding a connecting flight to Cairo. A number of airlines can fly you to Cairo, but Etihad seems to offer the lowest price. Booking in advance can get you 850 USD for a round-trip ticket. From Cairo to Siwa, night buses are available, but the journey takes 11 hours, and is arduous. VISA ñ The visa application process is simple, but is only available in Hanoi. If you live in Ho Chi Minh City, choose a visa service in Hanoi to save time and travel expenses. The visa fee is 30 USD/person. EXPERIENCE ñ A must-try experience for all visitors to Siwa is to camp overnight in the desert. The camp is run by an Egyptian travel company. Ask your hotel for more information. The fee is around 45 USD per person for one night in the desert. Pick up is availabe at the hotel. A one-night stay is sufficient since there are not a whole lot of things for you to do, except making fire, eating roast chicken, and watching the stars. FOOD ñ Egyptian food may present a challenge for Vietnamese. We often headed to small restaurants that are packed with westerners in hope of finding dishes with an international flavor, and are not too local, so that we could try the food. EXPENSES ñ Our group spent 21 days in Egypt. The total cost of which, including meals, transportation, sightseeing, and accommodation, was 45 million VND per person. On average, one spends about 2.1 million VND a day. TRAVELLIVE

VISA ñ You can apply for a visa at the Embassy of Morocco at 9 Chu Van An, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi. The Embassy will issue a single entry visa for your intended travel dates to Morocco. The visa application fee is 508,000 VND per person. GET THERE ñ From Vietnam, you can fly to Morocco on Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, or Emirates Airways at a price ranging from 800 - 1,300 USD for a return trip. Flights often transit in Istanbul, Doha, or Abu Dhabi before landing in Casablanca, Morocco's largest city. From here, you can take a bus or train to Essaouira. RELIGION ñ Morocco is a Muslim country, so keep that in mind when traveling to Morocco. You should not use your left hand to do anything in public because it is offensive to local people since the left hand is considered unclean. Moroccans do not like their pictures taken, especially women and older people, so permission is required before you take any pictures of them. Most of the mosques in Morocco prohibit foreign tourists from entering, so stand outside.

THE WORLD'S FIRST SARDINES PORT

markets across the city, just in time for the locals' morning markets.

Essaouira was one of the world's first sardine ports discovered in the 16th century by the Portugese, and is formerly known as Mogador. Since its opening, Essaouira rapidly became a major international seaport, linking Morocco and the Sahara with Europe and the rest of the world. Once a fishing village, Essaouira was later built into the city we know today by Emperor Mohammed III in the 18th century and featured a large harbor, making it an important commercial hub connecting the nation to the then powerful European countries.

Many seagulls could be spotted in the sky flying around the harbor, creating a truly picturesque sight for visitors. Be careful when holding a sardine in your hands since these aggressive birds can quickly snatch them from you!

You could easily catch a glimpse of the fish market's bustling scene, and hear the sound of boats making their way in the early morning. When dawn breaks, groups of large boats arrive at the port, and are full of freshly caught sardines. A fish market is set up right on the stretch of the sandy beach next to the harbor. It was exciting to join in with the locals for such an amazing experience. The higher the sun is, the more crowded the port gets. Hundreds of people were spotted around piles of fresh fish of all kinds, whose jobs were to identify, weigh, preliminarily process, and load them onto the trucks that carry them to wholesale

LOST STEP IN THE “LABYRINTH” MEDINA Medina is what the old quarters in Morocco and other north African nations are called, and Essaouira's Medina is a truly spectacular world full of colors. The Medina here, like most, is surrounded by a long wall, though this one is made of red desert stone, and is a striking characteristic of Medinas in Essaoiura. To explore the "maze" of local Medinas, I enjoyed my slow walks around town to admire the ancient architecture of Essaouira. From narrow streets with no names to street signs with long Arabic characters, Essaouira's beauty is so captivating that the more you explore, the longer you want to stay. After wandering the streets, I visited a number of colorful stalls that sell handmade items. Sometimes you can catch the probing glances of the locals as they watch tourists. TRAVELLIVE

I FIND THE MEDINA TO HAVE A STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO KALEIDOSCOPE LENSES, WHERE EVERY TURN PRESENTS A DIFFERENT PICTURE WITH NO PICTURE EVER BEING THE SAME. SPREAD OUT BEFORE MY EYES WAS ALWAYS A COMPLETELY NEW SCENE, DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS.

About a dozen steps away from the small and quiet alleys with exceptionally high walls on both sides, I was immediately greeted with hundreds of colorful items sold at different souks - Essaouira's traditional markets. The stalls there offer a wide variety of goods from traditional Moroccan handicrafts such as ceramics, elaborate tapestries, and silver-plated tea cups, as well as popular souvenir items such as t-shirts and bags printed with unique Moroccan images. I find the Medina to have a strong resemblance to kaleidoscope lenses, where every turn presents a different picture with no picture ever being the same. Spread out before my eyes was always a completely new scene, different from the previous.

lid. Thanks to this special shape, any food cooked in the Tajine is always soft and tender, soaked with flavorful spices, to create the most delicious dishes without the meat being dried out or becoming too tough. The taste of tajine is one so luscious and savory you'll probably not even notice how healthy the food is as well.

LIVE SLOW AND ENJOY FRAGRANT MINT TEA When you have spent most of your time to travel from one place to another, spending the remainder of your journey at a local home in Essaouira is a great way to unwind.

At the center of the Medina, where most tourists would love to visit at least once, is the Place Moulay Hassan. During the day, this beautiful square is filled with huge white and blue umbrellas that cover a number of fresh fruits, drinks, and souvenir stalls, which prove to be a popular attraction for both tourists and locals alike. I visited a small stall to savor the delicous Tajine, and enjoy the bustling scene of the square while watching the street performers put on their shows.

My hotel owner's friend invited me to her home, and welcomed me with a traditional ritual. She made me a silver tea pot filled with hot traditional Moroccan Touareg tea, which consists of green tea, fresh mint leaves, and sugar. For Moroccans, tea is considered a precious drink since Muslim men are not allowed to drink alcohol. It can be seen in almost all corners of social life in the country, similar to Vietnam in some ways. The elaborate pouring method though is one of the many key differences between this African nation's and Vietnam's tea drinking habits.

Tajine is a dish you can order anywhere in Essaouira, from luxury restaurants to cheap food stalls hidden away in quiet alleys. This miraculous dish is a stew cooked on low heat, and named for its unique cookware, which is a large terracotta pot with a conical

Sunsets in Essaouira are magical scenes that entice visitors to keep coming back. Any places you visit in Morocco, you will find Medina, mint tea, souk markets, and mosques, but the beauty of Essaouira is unique and unmistakable.

ACCOMMODATION ñ Essaouira offers affordable accommodation at a number of hostels and hotels which costs an average of 20-50 USD per night. Try to stay at a Riad - a traditional Islamic style house, formerly a house, but upgraded to a hotel for tourists. EVENTS ñ Essaouira is famous for its world music festivals that take place from April to June annually, attracting a large number of tourists. You should not miss them if you visit Essaouira during this festive period. TRAVEL EXPENSES ñ A 6-day trip to Morocco from Ho Chi Minh City costs about 3,000 USD per person, including airfare, meals, and accommodation. OTHER NOTES ñ While Morocco is a modernizing nation, there are still some vestiges of tradition that permeate the culture. One such example is that the nation is still highly patriarchal. That said, culturally sensitive dressing is advisable. Knees and shoulders should be covered (this protects from sunburn anyway), body-con and cleavage are discouraged, and of course a woman attracts less attention when travelling with a man. ñ Hydration when travelling is key, especially in arid regions. Clean safe water is readily available in Morocco, take advantage of this. This cannot be overstated.

SAIGON in my memories Saigon, with all of its classic beauty and hidden charm, is seen differently via the lens of French photographer Pierre Semere who has a destiny in Vietnam, his recent second home.

TRAVELLIVE

One might have a nostalgic feeling of turning back the time to the French Indochina or some would remind themselves of the Subsidy Phase of Vietnam after the reunification day

Anyone who loves the Saigon of days past would certainly know those antique buildings, witnesses of time and history, at the corners of Dong Khoi, Ly Tu Trong and Nguyen Hue streets in the city's downtown area. Recently, a new spirit has been infused into these structures since many trendy fashion stores, coffee shops and eateries have been established inside the aged buildings which has helped bring a joyful and modern scene to the local people and, at the same time, giving a unique impression to international visitors.

OLD SPIRIT NEW LOOK isitors who have a chance to pass by a heritage building at the corner of Dong Khoi and Ly Tu Wrong streets or an old condo near the corner of Dong Khoi Street and Lam Son Square in District 1 might find it interesting to see a long alley transforming into mobile art galleries with all kinds of paintings and a myriad of shades and colours. The distance between the past and the present seems to lessen when people start to advance up the stairs. There are sounds of a variety of footwear on all the floors, voices of people from different nationalities, and lyrics and melodies of some trendy songs punctuated by soft squeaks of wooden doors to fashion stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and spas. After climbing up each floor, visitors can pause to rest while leisurely looking at all the tiny cute banners

which are set up along the aisle, on the walls and the balconies. Those who are hungry can try classic Vietnamese family fare or Japanese rice served with fresh fruits and vegetables and sashimi. Others who wish to find a peaceful place for talking, can try cakes and drinks at a western style tea room. Visitors can also enjoy coffee and watch the bustling city life near the balcony. Or, for some nostalgic moments, one can hide themselves at any stair's corner or lean on a balcony to admire an old Saigon from a humble view compared to some nearby fancy high buildings rising in the sky. Foreign travelers to Saigon should also book an apartment or room inside those antique buildings to

have a true experience of Saigon, which is so familiar yet new to those already familiar with the city, and with a twist of old and modern characteristics of course. Hosts of these Airbnb spaces have well organised modern equipments with minimal interior decoration items which remind one of Saigon back in the 60s. A French friend of mine who spent his vacation to enjoy Tet (Lunar New Year) in Saigonwas particularly excited to stay in an old-style apartment in the city. He explained that the whole of Saigon seems to be combined in a tiny place with sounds of all the vehicles, and human voices, as well as through the colors of bricks, tiles and roofs of houses, and sometimes simply by the sight of a simple pair of

Nobody knows the date and time but they might have the same feeling of anxiety and regret for the old Saigon which will soon only exist in their memory. Tim Doling, an English scholar who has published numerous books on Vietnam, especially on the history and architecture of Saigon-Cho Lon, shared his concern as Saigon's original identity will no longer be there, when all the old buildings are gone, and all the houses will be town blocks. "Everyone here as well as people in many countries believe that heritage conservation is the alternative to development." chopsticks, and ceramic bowls in the kitchen. PRESERVATION FOR FUTURE I have asked myself about the future of those antique constructions at the corner of Dong Khoi, Ly Tu Trong and Nguyen Hue streets and other spaces at Ton That Dam and Ngo Duc Ke streets (also in District 1) and many others which will all share the same fate: being demolished to give spaces for new blocks of houses and buildings.

The scholar emphasised that if the governments in Britain, Ireland and America had had a chance to go back, and rewrite history, they wouldn't have destroyed heritage buildings because "the destruction of heritages for shortterm profits at the end of the day will cause loss of identity for the cities." Bridget March, an English artist who had great interest in heritage preservation during her time living and working in Vietnam for over ďŹ ve years, shared, "How can people know who you are and what you are, and how can you get people to understand you if you don't have any photographs of your family, or memory of your days to school, or your time of being a soldier, a teacher, or a nurse, and your traveling. You are nobody, absolutely nobody. If you do the same to the city, or if you knock down all of its history, it becomes faceless." The artist also shared, "I think that those heritages have to be preserved for the sanity and the hearts of future generations. And also, heritage is what tourists adore. Western visitors are always looking for the history of a place."

"Heritage has to be preserved for the sanity and the hearts of future generations. And also, heritage is what tourists adore. Western tourists are all looking for the history of a place." (Bridget March, English artist who has lived and worked in Vietnam for over 5 years) TRAVELLIVE

The Trang An - Tam Coc - Bich Dong scenic complex of Ninh Binh, which has been featured in a number of films, becomes more splendid than ever during the ripened rice season. The region's ripened rice season usually starts earlier than other provinces, beginning at the end of May and early June. If you want to catch a glimpse of the yellow fields against the lush mountain backdrop, May is an ideal time for you to visit, just before the harvest. The scenery during this time of the year is truly breathtaking.

greentravel Text: Bao Khuyen - Photos: Nguyen Xuan Vinh

In addition to a deep passion for photography, Nguyen Xuan Vinh has always been into traveling. Vietnam offers some of the most incredible routes that Vinh is proud to have discovered, explored, and captured in his amazing photographs the beauty of each destination. Let us take on this journey with him and admire the most breathtaking sceneries of Vietnam.

Vinh is a member of a group named "ßπp ChÙp" (cycle and shoot), where their love for cycling and taking photos are combined. The group was founded Christmas 2013, and Vinh joined the team in July 2014, together with his team mates promoting green travel and raising awareness for environmental protection.

A mobile home ßπp ChÙp is a group that is open to anyone who would like to join. All you need is a bike. Bicycles can be divided into many different types, but there are 4 main types in the group: race bikes, mountain bikes, city bikes, and the most important of all, touring bikes. If you want to travel by bike over long distances from city to city, it is essential to get a bike that gives you a smooth ride, and it does not necessarily have to be an expensive one. A solid touring bike can cost several tens of millions of dong or several hundred of millions dong. The key is to pick one that you feel considerably comfortable with. Besides the bike, you also have to carry along heavy loads, including cooking ware, food, bike repair kits, back up tubes, first aid kits, tents, and camping gear, not to mention cameras and flycam euipment. It can be a pain to prepare so many things, but planning wisely ensures your trips are the most enjoyable ones.

Vinh shared, "Everyone must pack for themselves before the trip. You learn how to be selfsufficient, and thorough in the process. Packing is key to your survival during each trip."

Incredible routes On a journey from the North to the South of Vietnam, the group enjoyed breathtaking sceneries and had interesting experiences. What they get back from each trip were not only beautiful photos and footages, but also amazing experiences and unforgettable memories. Vinh's first trip was from Saigon to SÛc Trang, where he cycled along the coast, and crossed the famous estuaries of the Mekong Delta including Câ Ti”u, Câ ßπi, Câ Ba Lai, Câ Hµm Luńg, Câ CÊ Chi™n, Câ Cung H«u, Câ ßfinh An, and Câ Ba Thæc. Most of the roads are quite narrow, and only fit for bicycles and motorcycles. Detailed plans are neccessary to make a safe trip, which include choosing less frequented routes that offer beautiful scenes, and where camp sites are available if needed.

TRAVELLIVE

Most importantly, these routes need to allow the group to travel at a slow pace. The first trip is always a trip filled with the most memories, and is often the most unforgettable. Vinh's second most memorable trip was to Hµ Giang, which he undertook September last year, a trip that Vinh could not contain his excitement for when mentioning it. He shared, "We spent our first night in ßÂng V®n, our second in LÚng CÛ, and our third in Y™n Minh. For this trip, we split into several groups with the main group starting from Saigon to Hµ Giang, and ended their journey in the northwest region of Vietnam. Other groups joined along the way. Vinh only joined the group in Hµ Giang, and visited most of the famous northern spots including MÃo Vπc, M∑ P◊ LÃng Pass, ßÂng V®n Stone Plateau, LÚng CÛ, the home of H'mong King, and the home where Pao's Story was filmed in S∂ng Lµ, Y™n Minh. Another trip which was still fresh in Vinh's mind was a trip that crossed Kh∏nh L™ Pass, which is situated between Nha Trang and Dalat, one of the steepest passes in the south of Vietnam.

TRAVELLIVE

The pass, which is 30 km long with continuous slopes, sits 50 m above the sea level, and at its peak, reachs the height of 1,700 m. "Kh∏nh L™ Pass is a challenge that most cyclists want to conquer since the landscapes here are absolutely stunning." You can find beautiful waterfalls, as well as lush mountains along the way. Vinh's group decided to rest over night in Dalat, when the local December temperature dropped down to 10 degrees. It was a remarkable experience, especially with the participation of a 10-year-old boy.

Explore the northwest region Team ßπp ChÙp takes random trips, and plans only a few weeks ahead. The trips are often organized once a month or once every two

TRAVELLIVE

months since most of the team members have a busy schedule with work. Besides touring trips, the team often goes on weekly rides around the city to keep fit and meet the team members. Vinh has cycled through many provinces from north to south, but one region he still dreams of exploring is the northwest. One particular route that takes you through Sapa - Y™n Minh - MÔ C®ng Ch∂i - TÛ L÷, Vinh is on his list to visit in autumn during the rice harvest season before cycling to A Pa Ch∂i, the west end point of Vietnam.

Green travel Traveling by bicycle is a fantastic way to combine sports, travel, leisure, and work. ßπp ChÙp does

not usually spend an entire month to travel with the trips mostly taking place on the weekends. Cycling has been known to improve one's overal health, which explains why the team requires little training before embarking on each trip. A great thing about cycling is that you have control over the pace that you want to go at. If a team member gets tired, the whole team can either slow down or take more breaks. The average speed ranges from 15 to 20 km/h with a 10-minute break after each hour to rest, drink water, and wait for others to catch up while enjoying the immense beauty around. Cycling is definitely not a new way to travel, but its popularity is increasing among Vietnamese travelers who hope to raise

Don't leave anything behind except for you bike tracks and your image!, is a saying that ßπp ChÙp members often remind each other. awareness about both physical and mental health, as well as promote Vietnam's ecotourism. The key thing about cycling is that it is the only mode of transport that does not produce emissions into the environment. "Don't leave anything behind except for you bike tracks and your image!" is a saying that ßπp ChÙp members often remind each other. Members are encouraged to not use plastic straws, and always clean up after themselves. Regarding this eco form of traveling, people are often concerned about the cost, the time they must spend, and whether they are fit to go. Vinh shared, "The key is a resolution to overcome your own limits. In our trips, we have had a 10-year-old and a 70-year-old cyclists. Anyone can ride a bicycle. The time you spend riding a bike is pure exercise."

Cycling offers fun, interesting experiences, and worthy friendships to all who join. Bicycles are an inexpensive way to travel. A few million dong can get you a reasonably good bike, and a 2-day and 3-night trip cost only from a few hundreds to a million dong. The great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy once said, "One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken." We must always cherish and protect our environment. Vinh's and ßπp ChÙp's mission is to not only find enjoyment in the simple pleasure of cycling, but also leave behind a better world for future generations. Cycling is gaining popularity among Vietnamese travelers who hope to raise awareness about both physical and mental health, as well as promote Vietnam's ecotourism.

TRANSPORT ñ Bicycles are the main form of transport, but not everyone can cycle from the south to the north of Vietnam. Most people join certain legs from province to province. You can first travel by bus with your bicycle, meet other team members at a designated place, cycle to a planned destination, and then, come back to where you started. BIKE MAINTENANCE ñ Each member must carry a bike repair kit, and back-up inner tubes. One must learn the how to repair their bike in the most basic ways, how to replace the inner tube for the tires, and pump the tires. For your own safety and to avoid troubles during your trip, you should have your bike maintained before you go. FOOD ñ The interesting thing about traveling by bike is that you sneak your way into the narrowest corners of a city to try the local food. If sleeping in a tent, your should bring packaged foods for added convenience. Also bring some snacks to eat on the road, if for some reason, you can't find a place to stop or eat. FITNESS LEVEL ñ Traveling by bike is open to all ages, genders, and people with any kind of job as long as you have a passion for cycling and green travel.

Summer is a season for outdoor travel. Instead of staying at a hotel, sleeping in a tent offers you a completely different and interesting experience. You can try either traditional camping (sleeping in a tent) or glamping (glamorous camping) for added comfort and luxury, all the while enjoy the great outdoors. TRAVELLIVE

to get your kids excited about a trip, try to get them to go camping. it can be an invaluable gift for the child's memory, and a fantastic way to for family members to spend time together. The sound of the insects at night was stunningly clear. To be sleeping among the vast valley surrounded by mountains, the feeling was indescribable. We were excited and nervous at the same time. We laid a thick blanket on the ground for added comfort before snuggling inside our sleeping bags. The fact that we had a long day, plus a little corn wine at dinner made everyone even more sleepy. We slept like babies throughout the night.

slEEpiNG iN a tENt aND BlEND iN With NatuRE SHOULD ñ Find a safe and convenient location. ñ Find a clear site where there is sand or dry ground to set up the tents. ñ Camp under a tree to block the wind and reduce heat. ñ Avoid areas where the ground can get wet when it rains. ñ Avoid where it is too windy. ñ Mark the campsite for all members. ñ Keep clean, and protect the environment (it's always best to leave a campsite neater than you found it). SHOULD NOT ñ Stay too deep into the valley, or mountain, where it is the coldest and wettest. ñ Camp near areas that animals hunt or their caves to avoid unwanted night visits. ñ Steer clear from areas that are prone to floods and flash floods. Keep a safe distance from streams, rivers, lakes, and the sea. ñ Keep food in your tents, as this will attract animals. ñ Go unprepared. A little preparation goes a long way in making a trip a positive one.

emories of the trip to the "dinosaur's backbone" in Ta Xua, Son La are still fresh in my mind. It was a long and arduous journey, but we took our time to explore the amazing beauty of Ta Xua. Just before it got dark, we saw a village down the valley, and decided to head toward it in search of a place to stay. The trail that led us down was quite narrow and slippery. It took us a while to get down, but we were lucky to have found a modest H'mong family who agreed to let us stay the night. The white flowers on the side of the road were in full bloom, creating a truly picturesque scene of the Chung Chieng Village.

The next morning, we found our host family had risen before us. The older daughter turned on the radio, and played a H'mong love song while the wife was cooking noodles for the children to eat before sending them off to school and tending the buffalo. We brushed our teeth next to the buffalo's stall before boiling water to make ourselves some tea to enjoy in the misty morning of the mountain area. Life here was so serene and peaceful, and we were glad to simply forget about our normally hectic lives.

fEEliNG totally alivE You can easily find campsites among the flower fields in Ninh Thuan, the pine forest in Dalat, the forest in the Central Highland, and the Bidoup Nui Ba National Park as well as a number of beaches and sand dunes around the country. It is a one-of-a-kind experience that you will not find when going on tours. Camping is becoming a popular trend among young travelers. Tran Anh Tuan, a traveler with a love for camping in Ho Chi

Minh City shared, "I have been everywhere, so now all I want is a simpler travel style that allows me to enjoy the beauty of nature at its best. The campsite must be far away from villages and has a clear view of either the mountains, forests, streams, waterfalls, or fields." One of Tuan's favorite campsites is Dalat, a place that allows him to visit any hills by motorbike to enjoy the cool fresh air. "I once set up a tent and stayed for seven days straight. The weather was exceptionally good with only light rain in the afternoons and cool winds in the evenings. I got to wake up to a beautiful sea of clouds every morning." Thuy Lan, a resident from Nha Trang, shared that her most unforgettable camping experience was on the coast of Cu Lao Cau, a pristine island of Binh Thuan Province. She spent a nervous night in the tent, unable to sleep with the repetitive sound of the waves, while everything around her was pitch black. Her morning experience though, more than made up for the anxiety she felt the previous night. "It was incredible to watch

a couple practising yoga together on the beach. Such a romantic thing to witness. It is wonderful that they share not only hobbies, but a love for camping with each other", shared Thuy Lan. Camping lovers shared you can actually get addicted to camping. Many who do not find the time to go camping, find a temporary solution for their hobby by putting up a tent inside their house, where they can play with their children, and have a memorable and fun experience. Camping is a great way for a family to spend time together, and often make lasting memories in a child's heart. Nature can offer you fresh air, breathtaking landscapes, and a true view of the wild life, as well as starry nights that you are unlikely to find anywhere else. Nature brings children the most lively experiences, and allows them to truly feel the world around them with their senses. To get your kids excited about a trip, try to get them to go camping. It can be an invaluable gift for the child's memory, and a fantastic way to for family members to spend time together.

GlampiNG foR thosE Who pREfER ComfoRt If you want to go camping, but experience a more luxurious way of camping that allows you to sleep in the great outdoors, and still provides you with the best of comfort, try glamping - a style of camping with amenities, and in some cases, resort-style services for nature lovers who are looking to have the most authentic experience possible, but in style. Glamping, which offers a luxurious setting, fine dining with champagne, and delicious wine, is becoming a popular trend among highincome tourists. The modern luxury of glamping allows guests to immerse themselves in nature without having to sacrifice creature comforts. Perhaps you might want to consider glamping this summer for a totally different experience. The luxurious tents are often decorated in different themes from bohemian, to gypsy, to rustic styles. You can enjoy not only the sound of the ocean, but also live acoustic music with your loved one for an unforgettably romantic experience.

ine is like the beauty of a woman whose classiness and complicated characteristics demands our true appreciation and respect. Tasting wine often requires one to to look, swirl, sniff, sip, and savor it for a full-bodied experience. What you pair with the wine is just as important as tasting the wine itself, and, of course, it also depends on what type of wine you are having, white wine or red wine. A great pairing however, can go accordingly to your own personal preference. Besides wine, salted cµ ph∏o (white, round, hard eggplants) is a Vietnamese side dish that I enjoy immensely. The salty, sour, and a little moderately pungent taste of cµ ph∏o blends perfectly with the flavor of dry wine such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonney, and Semillon. Enjoy the pairing with giﬂ or ch∂ (Vietnamese sausages) for a totally amazingunique culinary experience.

THE HARMONIOUS and rich flavors of Australian cuisine borrow from the diverse palates of many cultures. Australians place a high importance firstly on the ingredients, secondly the method of cooking, thirdly the cook's creation, and lastly, on the presentation of the dish. Each dish is meticulously prepared to create a distinctive taste from appetizer to dessert. Australians loves a good brunch in the English style with damper, an Australian soda bread made of wheat flour, and traditionally cooked by people in the bush on a camp fire. Damper is eaten across the country, and is to be enjoyed with jams and tea or cooked meat. They also like adding seeds to the bread to create a wide variety to this much loved bread. Lamington and pavlova are two not to be missed desserts in Australia. With a simple recipe, pavlova is a meringue-based dessert frequently served during celebrations and holiday meals. The dessert is a summer favorite for Australians, and is eaten all year round. Lamingtons, cakes of Australian origin, are made from squares of butter cake or sponge cake coated in a layer of chocolate sauce and rolled in dried coconut. The dessert is so popular that July 21 is designated as National Lamington Day in Australia. Australians prefer to keep the original flavor of the ingredients, and therefore they often use the least amount of spices possible when cooking to avoid losing their natural taste. Australian dishes are usually made moderately in terms of flavor without being too spicy, too sweet, or

too cooked. One example is the roast lamb or kangaroo, which is marinated with only a pinch of salt and pepper. Steaks are often cooked to medium to retain the natural flavor of the meat. Vietnamese spices, including fermented bean curd, fish sauce, and honey, have been added into Australian cuisine to bring a new and completely exotic flavor to Australian lamb and beef steaks. This interesting culinary fusion has been well received by both countries. "Smoked salmon and rocket salad", "kangaroo steak in red wine sauce", and "beef tenderloin with blue cheese sauce" are the most commonly known Australian dishes at culinary events across Vietnam.

"Lamb with fermented bean curd" is a new creation, well-liked by diners. Another distinct Australian dish is bush tucker, a name for any food native to Australia that uses ingredients from indigenous plants, seeds, tomatoes, and plums. The food is often cooked with game meat, or sometimes grubs and insects, to create a strongly unique taste. Taste of Australia is an annual event held across Vietnam in April to celebrate Australian food, beverage, and cuisine. This month-long event is a wonderful opportunity for you to come and experience Australian culinary delights.

Food is prepared differently in different parts of the world with each nation having their own unique culinary taste. Australia is a country known for their creative adaptations of cuisine with significant multicultural influences. TRAVELLIVE

La Feria de Abril takes place two weeks after easter. Local people dance to welcome the beginning of spring, and perform traditional folk music. This is an exciting festival where you can enjoy beautiful flamenco music, bullfights, young men in traditional Spanish costumes on horseback, and the lovely taste of sherry.

With a history of 100 years, the annual cherry blossom festival is held in Hirosaki Park, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. The park, which contains some 2,600 cherry trees in full bloom, allow visitors to take leisurely strolls under tunnels of cherry blossoms. You can find some of the oldest Someiyoshino cherry trees that were planted over 135 years ago.

The festival is held for 36 hours, starting at 6am and ending at 12 noon the following day. The highlight of the Thrissur Pooram festival is the parade of 30 beautiful elephants, who have been painted, wear gold jewelry on their heads, and walk through the streets.
