In May, escape from the hot weather by sweet experiences in journeys to the sea. You can take a journey to Ta Dung lake, which is regarded as the {Halong bay on the ground} of the Highlands or follow a group of young adventurers to Khanh Hoa to conquer Doi cape, the East pole of the country.

A journey to Thailand will be very interesting to discover a special architectural heritage, where the Thai Queen and King spent their honeymoon more than half of a century ago. In addition, we can visit Seychelles, the land of a spectacular coconut named Coco de mer and the legend of sea turtles.

In the second part of Malta published this month, readers can travel to Gozo island, visit the famous Ggantija stone temple and experience a very scrumptious seafood party served traditionally.

In summer-time Saigon, many people prefer discovering delicious dishes around renowned markets of this city. The Food & Wine section will continue with a Japanese chef, who shares a culinary style called sushi. In the Guides & Tips section, Travellive recommends you 10 remarkable resorts along Vietnamese sea shore as a special gift for tourists and families. As usual, much useful information is included in other sections.

We wish you pleasant and energetic summer days!

Yours sincerely, Travellive Editorial Board

FRESH SEAFOOD IN SAIGON

I

t will be a fantastic experience to enjoy an array of fresh seafood, including amberjack, stone-fish, Queen snails or cochlea snails caught from Truong Sa archipelago or deep seas of Vietnam right in bustling Saigon city. In addition, you can taste other specialties such as steamed Quy Nhon's oysters with lemongrass, Can Gio's octopus bathed in vinegar, grilled spanner crab, fresh abalone with mustard and grape seaweed. Particularly, you can enjoy delicacies of North America such as Alaska lobster and Canadian geoduck. All the quintessence of the sea is gathered in the "miniature ocean" of Ran Bien restaurant. Under the skillful hands of talented chefs, these sea creatures will surely wake up your taste buds.

EXPERIENCING TOKYO IN SAIGON Sorae is one of the most ideal Japanese restaurants featuring the best view in the center of Saigon. Sorae is not only a restaurant but it is also a destination for visitors to experience the culture of Tokyo.

The restaurant takes its

TRAVELLIVE

guests to a Zen garden with high wooden tables, a spiral staircase and artistic clouds. Geishas dressed in traditional Kimono will surely surprise you.

The restaurant is designed with two open kitchens, Yakitori Beer Kitchen and Sushi Sake Kitcheen, where you can witness cooks preparing fresh pieces of sashimi. Yakitori

Beer Kitchen provides you skewers of Yakitori meat and a beer collection, whereas, Sushi Sake Kitchen offers a variety of sake wines and fresh Japanese seafood.

(SORAE RESTAURANT *Level 24-25, AB Tower, 76A Le Lai, Dist.1, HCMC)

As an interesting destination for those who love bread, Lua + Mia sweet soup and bread store offers 11 different kinds of bread. The store serves a variety of bread dishes, from Vietnamese bread with pork meat to the bread with German ham or bread with stir-fried beef with lemongrass and red chilli, along with special sauces made of pork bone broth and coconut milk. Particularly, the bread with German ham is sophisticatedly made.

Fat and lean meat is seasoned with German spices for 24 hours before being roasted, making the meat very crispy and tasty. In addition, you can also enjoy a wide selection of sweet soup such as white bean sweet soup, floating cake sweet soup, corn sweet soup or lotus and longan sweet soup.

Sugar-cane juice is also a favorite dish of the restaurant because of its typical recipe of sugar-cane juice with either celery, ginger, lemongrass, strawberry, passionate fruit or watermelon.

Besides, other drinks, including fruit mojito, peach tea or fruit juices and coffee are very delicious.

(LUA + MIA BREAD & SWEET SOUP RESTAURANT *175B Cao Thang, Dist.10, HCMC) HCMC

IMPRESSIVE RED DOOR From the outside view, Red Door brings a very nostalgic feature and a Hue's space with its patterned bricks and red door. Behind the door, visitors will see an open and modern space of a small yard and a dining room with a large glass door, concrete floor and wooden ceiling. Dishes served here are a blend of tradition and modernity. You can taste simple Vietnamese traditional dishes such as salads, wraps or braised plates, using Vietnamese ingredients. However, with a new approach, Red Door turns these dishes into very spectacular tastes.

The chef changes Vietnamese dishes like catfish with mango salad, lotus salad or braised beef from very typical to very delicious. Why don't you try a new restaurant like Red Door this month? It may become your favorite destination on hot summer days.

ALBA SPA HOTEL MAKES SPLASH IN HISTORIC HUE Recently, Alba Spa Hotel opened in the heart of Hue with an array of elegant rooms and noble opportunities for budgetconscious guests. In addition to spa treatments designed in collaboration with renowned spa guru Florence Jaffre (founder of famed Ytsara of Thailand), the chic, 58-room downtown escape offers a 16.5-square-meter Jacuzzi that is flanked on three sides by lush vertical gardens and partitioned

into hot- and cold-water sections.

But the primary inspirational element is, of course, water, which is creatively illustrated on each room's main wall through an arrangement of colorful plates that hang in a way that makes them resemble bubbles. The hotel also uses water - Alba Mineral Water, in fact - to nurture the Vietnamese plants and flowers that grow in the organic garden and to enhance the natural skin-care solutions used in the exotic spa treatments.

This advanced technique is now developed at Vinmec International Hospital providing excellent results in prenatal screening which can help with early and effective intervention for fetal malformation. It is said to be the “key” to “unlock” fetal malformation from the very early stage of pregnancy.

It is now recommended by all doctors that, in addition to pregnant women with a family history of inherited diseases, all pregnant women should receive prenatal screening as well.

In practice, prenatal screening such as amniocentesis or chorion biopsy are highly accurate, however they also increase the risk of miscarriage.

Traditional screening methods of maternal serum (double test, triple test) and ultrasound have a high prevalence of false positive results, which increases unnecessary amniocentesis testing.

Research has shown that Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), by analyzing the fetal DNA circulating in maternal blood, has improved accuracy compared to the above mentioned traditional screening tests.

During pregnancy, there are cell-free DNA fragments from both the mother and fetus in maternal circulation. By analyzing fetal DNA, specialists can determine if there is possibility of any abnormality in the fetus.

NIPT can help detect some commonly seen chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome, Patau syndrome, Edward syndrome, Turner syndrome, Klinerfelter syndrome, etc. The most

significant advantage of NIPT is that it is a non-invasive test which only requires 20 ml of maternal blood from the 9th week of gestation onwards.

NIPT is also recommended for women at high risk prior to performing an invasive test.

In addition, all older momsto-be or those who have previously given birth to a child with a genetic disorder are recommended to do NIPT in early pregnancy.

With its high degree of accuracy, NIPT has reduced the number of pregnant women requiring unnecessary amniocentesis. However, a consultation with an obstetrician and a genetic specialist is recommended before doing NIPT. TRAVELLIVE

THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT

n the latest book of Drew Daywalt, the author of Stuck and This Moose Belongs to Me, readers can enjoy the funny and interesting story about crayons that have feelings. Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking each believes he is the true color of the sun. What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best? The Day the Crayons Quit is a book not only for kids, who will be imagining their own humorous conversations with crayons, but also for adults with simple and meaningful content.

However, not everyone can enjoy this dish the correct way like native people.

Travellive would like to suggest to our readers some recipes and how to eat sushi correctly with the instruction of Japanese chef, Kenji Tam (*) TYPES OF SUSHI Sushi is made from rice, vinegar and other ingredients,especially seafood and sometimes added nori (dried seaweed) for the cover, along with wasabi (mustard) and other kinds of sauce. There are many different kinds of Sushi to fit every taste.Below are some basic types: + Nigirizushi or "hand-pressed sushi": consists of an oblong mound of sushi rice that the chef presses into a small rectangular box between the palms of the hands and a topping typically bound to the rice, most commonly raw fish, shrimp, squid, octopus or fried egg. + Aburizushi: consists of rice and a piece of grilled fish draped over rice. + Gunkanzushi: is the same oblong base of rice as nigirizushi with a crab roe or caviar topping, but wrapped in a piece of nori. + Makizushi: is a cylindrical piece, formed with the help of a bamboo mat known as a makisu. Makizushi is usually cut into six or eight pieces, which constitutes a single roll order.

This type of sushi is generally wrapped in nori (seaweed), but is occasionally wrapped in a thin omelette, soy paper,

cucumber, or shiso (perilla) leaves. + Futomakizushi: or "thick, large or fat rolls" is a large cylindrical piece, usually with nori on the outside. A typical futomaki is five to six centimeters in diameter. They are often made with two, three, or more fillings that are chosen for their complementary tastes and colors. + Hosomakizushi: is a small cylindrical piece, with nori on the outside. They generally contain only one filling, often tuna, cucumber, thinly sliced carrots, or, more recently, avocado + Temakizushi: is a large cone-shaped piece of nori on the outside and the ingredients spilling out the wide end. A typical temaki is about ten centimeters long, and is eaten with fingers because it is too awkward to pick up with chopsticks.

For optimal taste and texture, temaki must be eaten quickly after being made because the nori cone soon absorbs moisture from the filling and loses its crispness, making it somewhat difficult to bite through. For this reason, the nori in pre-made or take-out temaki is sealed in plastic film which is removed immediately before eating. + Uramakizushi: is a medium-sized cylindrical piece with two or more fillings. In Uramaki, the rice is on the outside and the nori inside. The filling is in the center surrounded by nori, then a layer of rice, and optionally an outer coating of some other ingredients such as roe or toasted sesame seeds.

HOW TO EAT SUSHI PROPERLY According to Chef Kenji Tam, we can eat sushi with fingers or chopsticks.

Sushi chefs can taste this dish with their talented hands. Every process, such as moulding rice and cutting fish or seafood, is done very carefully to offer gourmands the most appetizing flavor of every piece of sushi. Japanese chefs often encourage diners to eat sushi with their fingers in order to enjoy the best taste. For sushi with a fish or shrimp topping, use your thumb and middle finger to hold the sushi while putting your forefinger on it, and then dip slightly into the soy sauce and enjoy.

In addition, you can put the sushi horizontally and use your chopsticks.

Turn the sushi back and dip it into the soy sauce and enjoy. This way, you can keep your hands clean, but it may be difficult for you to pick the sushi up and dip it into the sauce. Besides, the sushi ingredients can easily dropout when you use chopsticks. If you like wasabi, you can add a little onto the topping, instead of mixing it in the sauce.

Dos in sushi etiquette: + To enjoy all kinds of sushi properly, you should eat those with a mild taste with light colored meat (white or silver) first, and then move on to the types with darker-colored ingredients such as salmon or salmon caviar. + Dip only the fish into your soy sauce, never the rice. When you eat, let the fish touch your tongue first. + Eat the sushi right after it is are served on the table for the best taste of the dish. + Eat sushi in one bite. Never put the suchi back on the the plate once you have picked one. Leaving rice in your bowl is amateur.

To enjoy all kinds of sushi properly, you should eat those with a mild taste with light colored meat first, and then move on to the types with darkercolored ingredients . ß” c„ th” tÀn h≠Îng tr‰n vãn h≠¨ng v n™n ®n theo th¯ t˘ tı loπi c„ h≠¨ng v nhã, tht c∏ mµu nhπt cho tÌi nh˜ng loπi c„ h≠¨ng v, mµu c∏ ÆÀm d«n l™n.

+ If you taste many types of sushi in a meal, clean your palate by using ginger after each one. + Turning your soy sauce into a cloudy mess by mixing in wasabi is not the proper way to eat sushi.

If the chef does not add wasabi to each piece, put a little amount on the plate and add it to the topping of the sushi. + Please say itadakimasu, which is similar to "bon appätit", or saying grace to express gratitude for your dish being served. + Diners can enjoy sushi with a glass of sake wine. After the meal, diners are often served green tea, or fried tea to get rid of the fishy taste of the seafood. + After the meal, you should tell the chef: "Gochi-so-sama-deshi-ta." (Oh, what a great sushi dinner!).

Don'ts in sushi etiquette: + Sushi shouldn't be dipped too long in soy sauce to keep its true taste. + Do not use chopsticks to skewer the sushi. + Do not pour soy sauce on the sushi . + Do not give someone else sushi

with your chopsticks if you have not turned your chopsticks upside down before picking it up. If someone offers you a piece of sushi with their chopsticks, take your plate or bowl to put it in. This way, you show respect to those offering you the sushi. Put your chopsticks parallel to your sushi tray to inform other people that you've finished your meal.

You can enjoy a variety of sushi at Emperor Restaurant - Fortuna Hanoi Hotel on weekdays. The restaurant is organizing its "Sushi festival", along with a lavish lunch.

Price: VND 420,000 + + / adult and VND 210,000++ /child (under 12 years old).

"A very special part of this party is that the chef will make sushi from the beginning to the end of the party"- said chef Kenji.

You can make your own California sushi roll at home with the help of this easy to follow recipe.

The roll combines the flavors of salt, vinegar, fresh seafood and wasabi.

CALIFORNIA ROLL (for 1 serving) The most popular type of Uramakisuzhi is California roll, which is often served in Japanese restaurants and is a favorite dish of sushi lovers who cannot eat fresh raw fish. California roll impresses diners with its fresh orange fish eggs outside, along with avocado and crab meat in the middle.

The roll combines the flavors of salt, the sourness of vinegar, the crispness of fresh seafood and the spicy flavor of wasabi.

Lay the bamboo mat on the chopping board and wrap it with plastic wrap. This is necessary in order to prevent rice from sticking to the mat and to allow easy clean up between rolls. Then, place the nori on the mat. Then, grab a handful of prepared sushi rice, and spread it gently over the nori.

Flip the nori so that the rice is now facing down. Line up the mayonnaise sauce, crab sticks, omelette strips, slices of cucumber and avocado along the close end of the nori.

Roll it inside out tightly. Sprinkle shrimp eggs on the roll. You can also add sesame seeds onto the roll or caviar onto every piece of sushi. Cut two ends of the roll, then cut it into 8 small pieces and enjoy.

Ba Chieu market is one of the most ideal destinations for gourmands.

Here, you can enjoy a wide selection of typical Vietnamese dishes such as Vietnamese grass jelly dessert, sweet bean soup, wraps and rolls, rice spaghetti with crab, steamed sticky rice with chicken or barbecued pork.

I arrive in Ba Chieu market at lunchtime. Inside the market, food stores showcase a variety of aromatic dishes. As a sweet-tooth gourmand, my first choice is the Vietnamese grass jelly sweet soup. The store also serves other delicious dishes such as coconut milk with pennywort, ginseng or green bean sweet soups.

Unlike other big markets, where they offer tasty Chinese sweet soups such as braised papaya, egg sweet soup or tofu with almonds, Ba Chieu market is more simple. Sellers here are also very friendly.

If you visit Ba Chieu market, you cannot miss the steamed sticky rice with chicken and grilled meat. Located in a corner of Bui Huu Nghia - Vu Tung street, the sticky rice restaurant is always crowded with guests. Trays are presented full of ingredients such as chicken legs or grilled meat. I am interested in having the sauce, which is made from fat, onion and tiny dried shrimp. I take my chance here to taste the sweetness of sticky rice, the saltiness of the sauce and the richness of the meat while sipping a cup of cool soy milk in the sweltering day. Sometimes, this is the best part of my day.

In order to enjoy many different Hue dishes such as floating fern-shaped cake, steamed cassava cake, fermented pork roll or mussels with girdle cake, you should go in groups.

noodles and steamed rolled rice pancakes to sweet soups such as Thai, mixed soups and flans. In addition, you can try fresh seafood dishes and snacks. The main market closes in the afternoon.

However, the night here is bustling with diners.

TAN DINH MARKET I like dropping in Tan Dinh market to view the remarkably pink church and enjoy the food here. You can find most of the scrumptious dishes of Saigon at this market, from fried rice, crab soup, Nam Vang

Two of the most delicious dishes at the market is a Hue dishe and Guangzhou dried noodles. At Nguyen Huu Cau street (at the intersection with Tran Quang Khai street), you can see a line of restaurants serving Hue dishes.

This is also a my friend's favorite place whenever she wants to taste something really homey.

In order to enjoy many different Hue dishes such as floating fernshaped cake, steamed cassava cake, fermented pork roll or mussels with girdle cake, you should go in groups. If those dishes have not satisfied your taste, you can enjoy the steamed thin rice pancake with grilled meat or vermicelli with a special kind of sauce.

I often have Nam Pho rice spaghetti. This is a typical dish of Hue with a

delicious broth of crab roe, fresh shrimp and pork. The lean and fatty meat is seasoned and stirfried with crab roe and then added to the shrimp broth. The crab and shrimp meat are chopped and mixed with pork pie.

Also at Nguyen Huu Cau street, you can drop into a restaurant for Guangzhou dried noodles, sold 24/7. In addition, diners can taste Vietnamese rice noodles, rice vermicelli, rice spaghetti and fish porridge. It will take you a week to enjoy all of the dishes here.

If you would like to have a good taste of Chinese dishes, you must have them in old restaurants, decorated with spectacular things such as a bike decorated with colorful glazed paper. The restaurant that I choose to have dinner is such a place. The broth served at the restaurant is very sweet and tasty. The dried noodle with grilled pork is the most popular dish for diners. A bowl of mixed noodle with shrimp, heart and kidney is also a good choice for your meal. Do not forget to ask for your sauce, which is unique to the restaurant.

BEN THANH MARKET Ben Thanh market, which is a cultural destination of Saigon during the day, is one of the world's most fascinating food markets in the evening, according to USA Today. The market is a perfect location for tours to discover street-food. Ben Thanh market reminds me of three remarkable dishes, including vermicelli with sauce, vermicelli with sour crab soup and cold tofu.

The vermicelli restaurant which is more than 40 years that is located opposite the East gate of Ben Thanh market is one of the most delicious restaurants in Saigon. The Southwestern vermicelli enchants gastronomes with its special fish sauce. To make this dish, the cook must prepare the ingredients carefully.

The fish and shrimp must be very fresh to bring the best taste to the dish.

Although the vermicelli at the restaurant is more expensive than in other kiosks, diners flock here to enjoy this scrumptious dish.

This dish is served with sour tamarind sauce, bitter vegetables, bean sprouts and coriander and will be a memorable culinary experience.

With a tour around markets, diners can enjoy a wide selection of delectable dishes. If you like vermicelli with sour crab soup, the restaurant at the crossroad of Le Thanh Ton - Nguyen Trung Truc, near Ben Thanh market is a good choice. The dish is a combination of snails, pork pie, tofu, tomato, crab soup and vermicelli. Fresh-water

crabs are pounded for the soup while big snails are stir-fried to be very crunchy.

The soft taste of tofu mixed in the sweet broth is really wonderful.

At the intersection of Le Thanh Ton and Truong Dinh street, gourmands can enjoy the icy tofu. It will be and unforgettable moment to enjoy this dish, along with a cup of coconut milk and leathery cassava balls, while chatting with your friends after a busy day.

Apart from these three markets, Saigon also includes others such as Cho Lon, Vuon Chuoi and Ban Co markets, which are also food paradises for you to discover. Let's plan for a journey to discover Saigon's food map around markets to increase the flavors for your summer.

Back to Mono Black and White: For dynamic, powerful and modern persons, these items with simple, straight lines and geometric patterns will bring you a modern view. The combination of black and white can make your room strong, youthful and fashionable. In this space, you will feel confident, open-minded and dynamic.

Summery Inspiration: There’s nothing better than a house immersed in the tropical nature. It is easy for you to bring the summer into your house by adding some wooden and cotton interiors.

Otherwise, you can be creative with upholsteries, rugs and paintings.

Sweet and Romantic: A romantic, light and sweet living space is always a choice for girls. The pastel tone of pink, turquoise and yellow will bring life to the room. Pillows, wall lamps and carpets of all colors, or some romantic messages hidden somewhere in the house will strengthen the fascination of the room.

A Sense of Nostalgia: Let your home däcor be your voice. The color of {time} on the stained wall, the old photos or old raw materials would not only tell their stories but also preserve memories that are a part of your life. Summer is always the season of nostalgia.

INSPIRATION OF MEKONG CERAMICS

T

he artistic essence of talented craftsmen and artisans along the Mekong River Delta that has remained for a thousand years of culture, gives home däcor a new definition. {Jean} Ceramics: Being shabby, innocent, and rustic, these handmade ceramics draw the attention of people with their deep blue color. Jean Ceramics are made from an extremely rough ceramic kiln in Cambodia.

Local potters work with primitive tools such as carving ceramic instruments from bicycle spokes and broken saw blades.

These handmade home dÈcor products are made one by one, holding the emotion and mood of every artisan and featuring different shapes.

Jean ceramic plates are brought to Sadec District right on their first days. They manifest the contemporary spirit that Sadec

District is hunting for.

Amai Pottery: As a signature representative of Vietnamese pottery, the charming Amai ceramics are trendy with the East - West inspiration. It is easy to understand why Amai ceramics become favorite interiors for many people, from Vietnamese young men to Japanese women, from Australians to Germans.

There are also unique ceramics from Chiang Mai. They appear proudly with exquisite lines and discreet patterns under a modern look and sharp enamel.

Potteries from villages along the Mekong River Delta will bring you a little joy and a new inspiration this summer.

Located deeply between Dak Nong plateau and Di Linh, with its 36 magnificent islands and highest peak at 1982 meters, this completely isolated lake is a masterpiece of nature.

HA LONG BAY OF THE HIGHLANDS TRAVELLIVE

91

here, We Can vieW the very stunning sCenery. the sky, the green Mountains and Quiet lake Meet to Create an aMaZing three-diMensional World.

After checking our vehicles, reflected-light belts and safety clothing, our group with its 22 members started its journey to Ta Dung from HCMC at 7p.m.

Instead of travelling along the Highway 20 as usual, we chose a less traveled, more scenic route towards long Khanh and Duc linh, passing through mountain passes to Bao loc city, tucked in the Highlands. We cross the Ta Pua pass under the eaves of moonlight, quite a memorable moment of the adventure.

After staying one night in Bao loc, we travel to Di linh plateau (lam Dong) and then take a bus 30km to Ta Dung wharf. Mr. Khanh, a local guide, picks us up.

Because this place is still quite virginal when it comes to tourists, we had to take a local barge.

TRAVELLIVE

A friend of Khanh joins us for the trip, who appeared to know every corner of the landscape.

The barge moved across the lake, a mix of locals and excited urbanites on board. We had to take two trips due to the size of our group. To explore the lake properly from one end to the other, we decided to rent motorbikes for our return journey.

We continue our maiden voyage on Highway 27, currently being built around the lake. At first what seemed like a good idea turned in to a monstrosity as air became thick with dust, the curves in the road unanticipated, the dust clouds blocking our sight. After this nightmare we board another barge which takes us to the center of the

lake. Finding a place to camp on one of the many islands, we are framed in a dazzlement of scenery. The sky, the vernal mountains, the quiet lake meet to form a triumvirate of vision.

While the journey has left us tired, our surroundings are restorative, and we soon forget the long trip’s toll.

The barge takes us to the center of the lake. We seize the opportunity to jump into the cool, turquoise water. In the past, we were told, where the lake now lays was a land of red dirt paths, bridges crossing various rivers. later on, the rivers were damned in order to harvest hydroelectric power and the water level increased to nearly a hundred meters. Because of such a depth, the water carries a deep blue hue.

The island we have chosen for camping is inhabited only by a man named Mr. Teo and his family, who grow coffee here.

He is surprised and glad to welcome us strangers and proud to show off his surroundings. As night falls on the lake, we start a fire under the moonlight, singing songs late into the evening.

Those who were once strangers become friends, and our voices echo over the lake, bouncing off the mountains. on the following day, we leave the island to return to Saigon. As we depart, we are greeted by morning fog, Ta Dung’s parting gift.

Saying farewell to Khanh, we ride to Dak Som, across Quang Khe and then back to Bao loc.

After high slopes, the panorama of the lake appears in front of us. It was then that we understood why such a place is regarded as the {Ha long Bay of the Highlands}. Small islands hurl themselves out of the water, gather together to create a breathtaking landscape. on the way back to Saigon, we already feel the peaceful land of Ta Dung calling us back. Such a place provides the perfect atmosphere for those who fancy adventure, who seek sanctuary from the crowds and cacophony of the city.

FURTHER INFORMATION: ü Itinerary: From HCMC, go to Dau giay t-cross and then turn left to Highway 20 towards Di Linh. From Di Linh market, turn left and go straight for about 30km to ta Dung wharf.

Currently, roads to ta Dung are asphalt. ü Contact Mr. Khanh for a guide, the barge and camping places. Mobile: 0973468012. ü Cuisine: You should buy food at Di Linh market because there is no food service around the lake. ü Bring your lifejackets for swimming in the lake. ü Accommodation: Bring your tent and sleeping bag for your journey. You can also ask Mr. Khanh to help you arrange your accommodation at a homestay. ü Activities: From ta Dung lake, travel around the lake by motorbike, go on a barge to discover wild islands, visit an enormous ancient tree and H’Mong villages, climb ta Dung peak, or go fishing on the lake.

The concept of “four poles and one peak” is very familiar to Vietnamese backpackers.

The idea of conquering and touching the milestone or stepping on border areas of the nation has become a dream for many. We had our own dream come true in the five-point journey to the cloudy Fansipan peak, the North Pole at Lung Cu in Ha Giang, South Pole at Ca Mau cape, West Pole in Dien Bien and the East pole, Doi cape in Khanh Hoa. This is a tale of our journey to the final pole, Doi Cape.

Located about 100 kilometers from Nha Trang on Hon Gom peninsula of Van Phong bay, Doi Cape is in the Van Thanh commune, Van Ninh district, Khanh Hoa province.

The first place to welcome the sun in Vietnam, the {East Pole} is regarded as the hardest to access among the four poles. However, it is often considered the most beautiful of the four.

Our group, with its 14 members, sets a careful schedule for this journey. We choose to stay in Nha Trang before the journey, which, while not as close to our destination as Phu Yen, was able to provide us with all of our necessities. We also considered contacting Mr. Ba, a prestigious local guide to the East Pole, for our accommodation during the journey. However, since the weather conditions would be unpredictable, we did not want to make any commitments.

We depart at 8a.m from Nha Trang to Dam Mon, the true starting place for our {journey to the eastern sun}.

After nearly 4 hours into the 80 kilometer journey, we pass by Co Ma Mountain and reach Dai Lanh, where we take a rest before going to Dam Mon. Here, the blue and sunny sky of the morning is now covered by gray clouds from Phu Yen. Great!

After enjoying the famous squid hot pot of Dai Lanh, we travel to Dam Mon, bringing with us a feeling of trepidation. If the weather’s bad, our itinerary will be much more difficult: slippery stone plates, rough sea, and many other obstacles hindering an already challenging journey. The route of 18 kilometers to Dam Mon now seems much longer than usual.

The asphalt road from Co Ma to Dam Mon fishing village blossoms with huge sand dunes on either side, lined with lush green casuarinas and coconut trees often found in the southwest. We all feel excited when we ride along the

dunes and approach the fishing village. Gray clouds disperse and leave the sky clear at the end of the road as we arrive at Dam Mon, our spirits brightening as the weather improves.

Here we meet Mr. Ba and prepare all the last minute details at his house. We head for Rang Beach, which borders the East Pole, and anticipate a menu of grilled pork, fish hot pot, oyster and instant noodles. Since our luggage is carried to the beach by boat, we only need to bring a bottle of water to cross the severe and sandy desert between us and the ocean. By now it is 15:30. After we take photos at the milestone of {Doi Cape - 12km}, we officially begin the first real challenge of our journey to Vietnam’s most challenging pole.

As is known by the Vietnamese tourist community, the Dam Mon - Rang Beach - Doi Cape route surprises many newcomers who attempt its treacherous and diverse terrain. The journey can be divided into four legs: the dunes, the seaside route, the tropical forest and the stone slabs leading to the stainless steel milestone of the pole.

HOW WE CONQUERED DOI CAPE: A TALE IN FOUR STAGES First Leg: Overcoming the {flying} dunes. According to locals, the sand that forms this landscape is volatile, appearing to raise and lower its height at its own volition. Those with feet familiar to trekking in the northern mountains feel like fish out of water when thrown in this new terrain. This landscape is so large and fecund with its dunes sprouting in all four directions that we feel as if we were lost in a single and infinite vastness of sand. The scenery can change instantly with high sand dunes, green oases or rocky hills, all caravanning under a blue sky.

econd Leg: Seaside splendor and serendipity. The most exotic portion of this route, when we reach the sea we play among the waves, taking the opportunity to capture many beautiful photos. The sea water is so clear that we can see the ocean floor.

Sometimes it changes colors, shifting between shades of blue to green, a fickle chameleon under the afternoon sun. Before us, Van Phong Bay is utterly stunning. Its scenery, waves of sea and sand, form one of the most marvelous beaches in Vietnam.

Third Leg: Passing through the primeval forest. By now it is nearly half past five. The sun always seems to set late above the sea, now resting its rays on the approaching forest, which glows gold in the direct light.

Due to its steep slopes, this may be the most trying leg; luckily, our group is used to trekking in the mountainous

north. The feeling of heading into the horizon, being chased by a steady and dying sun, helped us forget our now aching legs. Here we take in another panorama of Van Phong bay, considering the span of land we’ve already crossed, weighing all its variants. The sea is darker now as we travel along sandy paths through the forest. Mr. Ba, who’s been leading the pack, starts to tarry, and water is handed out among the group.

Our leader stops for a rest. None of us complain; this would be the first rest of many along this leg. After two and a half hours in the forest, we reach a shack, built by Mr. Ba himself, overlooking the bay. While we take some cooking supplies for Rang Beach, we are still very excited.

That wasn’t too bad, right guys? Mr. Ba is quick to cut through our frail optimism, saying that we are just halfway through the journey.

Continuing our trek through the woods, the leg-rubbering slopes, the precarious rocks, we find ourselves in a growing darkness, soon having to grope our way along with the help of flashlights. We pass yet another viewing area where the trees open to a very steep slope, accompanied by a twilight view of the bay, the sky still clear and the waves mocking us in their strange yet soothing tongue.

Intermission: Beach time. We reach Rang Beach at 8p.m., where we make a camp for the night and cook, anticipating being the first inhabitants of Vietnam to see the sun the following morning. Tasks are delegated by gender, the women in charge of cooking while Ba and the boys find a place for setting up camp. Unfortunately, the clouds begin to return, and the wind from Van Phong bay is strong. Making the camp among blistering winds, the inconvenience of the beach’s many boulders and the frustration of pitching tents in the dark makes us wish we would have been cooking food instead.

to complete the journey to the East Pole, although we know that our plan of {hunting down} the sunrise has failed due to the weather. The rain continues, heavier now as a consequence of the whirlwind. We have breakfast and greet a shabby sunrise, the shambles of our high expectations. We wonder whether we should continue our journey to the peak in the rainy weather, wait for the rain to stop, or turn back.

After a while, we decide to continue; according to Mr. Ba, if you’ve made it as for as Rang Beach, it would be silly not to go for the pole. Reluctantly agreeing, we leave the beach to Doi Cape at 7a.m.

Leg the fourth and final: stepping onto the east pole. The area we trek through is a wonder of geological formation. We now understand the concept of {jumping the plate}: thousands of rock slabs crowd together as if competing for space at the base of the tower. To overcome it, we must jump from one rock to another, occasionally doing some amateur spelunking into the gaps between the rocks.

Dressed in raincoats, we jump from stone plate to stone plate while our faces are beaten by rain and wind.

We reach the final rock, on which stands the stainless steel tower marking the eastern point of the country. This is the most easterly cape on the map, and, being there, we made our dream a reality. However, a final challenge awaited us - we still had to physically touch the tower. In order to reach the big rock where the tower stands, we must take turns using a rope to climb up the sharp angle of rock. We all hold our breath and count ... 1... 2... 3... 14!!!!!

We hold each other tightly on the peak and use our mobile phones to take numerous photos. We are speechless, listening to the sound of sea waves, looking back on the entire route that led us here, now, as we touch the sacred tower which marks the eastern limits of Vietnam, the sun tracing our journey into the east. Surprisingly, the sun rises behind us. The rain is swept away.

The food is prepared splendidly.

Grilled squid and pork with a side of cobia fish help us revitalize after a hard day.

Despite the new energy, the wind grows stronger. We eat quickly and go back to camp for an early sleep. This may have been the most prescient decision of the trip; right as we nestle into our tents, the rain begins to fall - heavily.

We are so tired that we fall immediately into a restful sleep.

Finally, the wind disperses around 4a.m. but the rain keeps up. At 6a.m, Mr. Ba wakes us

JEONJU - THE LAND OF FLOWER DREAMS regarded as “the land of flower dreams, a spirit which can never be tarnished by time” by the well-known author Myeong-hee Choi in her monumental work Honbul, the culturally abundant city of Jeonju can be found in the middle of the Korean peninsula with many valuable treasures.

Tourists can visit many famous sites considered as cultural “gems” of Jeonju, including Pungnammun Gate, Jeonju Confucian School, Jeonju Traditional life Experience Park, Jeonju Traditional Craftworks Exhibition Hall, Jeonju Treasures Center, Gangam Calligraphy Museum,

Jeonju Traditional Culture Center, and Jeondong Catholic Cathedral, well known in Korean Catholic history.

In addition, the Jeonju Traditional Culture Center gives visitors the unique experience of life in a traditional Korean house, known as “Hanok” in Korean.

Aside from Hanok, there are many other great places to visit, such as the Pan Asia Paper Museum, Jeonju World Cup Stadium, and Deokjin Park. Deokjin Park delights visitors in July and August with lotus flower plants reaching heights of several feet high.

Naejangsan is a famous mountain in the Jeolla-

do province, and the best mountain in Korea for viewing autumn’s crimson leaves. The park is 76,032 sq. km. in size and became a National Park along with Baekyangsa District on November 17th, 1971.

The name Naejang means “many secrets” in the mountain. Because of the bright crimson leaves that blanket Naejangsan Mountain’s fall scenery, the mountain is also referred to as “Geumgangsan of Honam”.

Inside the park, there are famous waterfalls, such as Dodeok Falls and Geumseon Falls, and temples such as Baekyangsa and Naejangsa temples. If you follow the valley left of the ticket booth, you can see the waters of Dodeok Falls, cascading down the cliff. If you go further along the valley you can see the waters Geumseon Falls where even the gods have supposedly bathed.

aekyangsa Temple is both majestic and serene, surrounded by Gulgeori trees that retain their lush green leaves even in winter, and also the Bija trees. Along with Baekyangsa Temple, the Naejangsa Temple is the place to visit during the fall for its lovely autumn leaves.

Besides these, there are about hundreds of kinds of local plants and various wild animals living inside Mt. Naejangsan Park. The Park is beautiful not only in the fall, but also in the spring when the azaleas and cherry blossoms bloom, in the summer when the green mountain turns greener, and the winter when the rock cliffs cover themselves with snow. All throughout the year, different kinds of wild flowers bloom here.

The spirit of Jeonju can be found in its lively festivals.

Some of these festivals include the Jeonju International Film Festival, Jeonju Sori Music Festival and World Calligraphy Biennale of Jeollabuk-do, which highlight some of Jeonju’s most celebrated

items including traditionally made Korean paper, fans and igang wine.

Someone said that the best way to experience one’s culture is by tasting its cuisine and Jeonju is not an exception. You can taste almost every kind of food in Jeonju, whether from the field, the mountain or the sea. Fresh seafood comes from the west coast of the Korean peninsula, grains are produced in the neighboring rich fields, and vegetables are collected from the mountain areas. Jeonju’s most well known food is by far Jeonju bibimbap. It consists of rice topped with such tasty foods as bean sprouts, Chinese bellflowers, spinach, dropwort, mushrooms, and beef. These ingredients are mixed together before they’re eaten. This dish is not only delicious, but also full of nutrition. other famous foods from this region are kongnamul gukbap (a bean sprout soup mixed with rice) and hanjeongsik (plentiful Korean style dinner menu). Kongnamul gukbap is prepared by first putting a bean sprout soup in an earthen bowl, then adding the essential seasonings, and lastly boiling the

mixture. This dish is usually served with a plethora of side dishes making for a most enjoyable meal. The side dishes may change with each season, being that the freshest ingredients of the season are used. Igang wine is often enjoyed with these foods in Jeonju. This wine is made from rice barley, polished rice, cinnamon, ginger, and pears.

This sweet and savory wine is said to reduce fatigue and benefit your mind, body, and soul.

Finally, do not forget to meet up with your friends at the Jeonju Makgeoli streets. That will be a very fantastic experience!

6 Must-do things When visiting JeonJu ≠ Experience 6 categories of the quintessential Han styles: Hanji (ancient paper), Hanok (ancient house), Hansik (Korean cuisine), Hanchum (Korean traditional performance), Hansori (traditional music) and Hanbang (Korean traditional medicine). ≠Taste Jeonju Bibimbap ≠ Discover an array of Jeonjustyle dishes, along with Makgeolli wine ≠ Experience the tea culture and traditional ceremony of Hanok Village ≠ Taste the spicy Kongnamul Gukbap after a tired day discovering the city ≠ Drop by a house and enjoy a Baekan meal with its wonderful flavor at a very cheap price.

For international tourists, Hua Hin is not as famous as Bangkok, Phuket, Chiangmai or Pattaya although it is the most ancient attraction of Thailand and a favorite destination of Thai people.

In recent years, Hua Hin has become a favorite destination for many visitors during the summer for its architectural heritage, the Summer Palace, where more than half a century ago, king Bhumipol Adulyadej (Rama IX, the current Thai king) and Queen Sirikit chose for their honeymoon.

112

TRAVELLIVE

In the past, Hua Hin was a fishing village in Prachuap Khiri Khan, about 200km from Bangkok in the south. It was found and chosen as a resort in the 1920s by the Thai king, Prajadhipok (King Rama VII).

{Escape from worries} Klai Kangwon’s summer palace is in an isolated location in the north of Hua Hin. Built in the beginning of the 20th century, the palace has not been changed much and at present, members of the Thai royalty also come here for relaxation. Apart from the main building, which was designed as a palace, almost all of other structures were built in Spanish and Thai’s Sala styles. The groundfloor features parallel pillars to create windy halls while the upper floor is filled with rooms. The structure was built with a lush green garden, many lakes, fountains and roofed streets running to the seashore as a wharf.

Contrary to the opulent, colorful and sophisticated royal palaces in Bangkok, the summer palace is airy and mixed with green gardens. The color here is not too bright, or flashy, but harmonious, gentle and relaxed.

When you wander around the palace, you will feel as if you were walking in Europe with green fences set as a maze. In the centre, a fountain appears with some white wooden benches for guests to take a rest. Near the entrance gate, there is a small royal museum to display images and royal keepsakes as well as a place for guests to buy souvenirs.

More than half a century ago, when king Bhumipol Adulyadej (Rama IX, the current Thai king) and Queen Sirikit chose this summer palace for their honeymoon, the sea was still blue; clouds passed overhead quietly; leaves fell softly down the meadow and the yard was filled with sunshine as present. King Rama VII seemed to retain the youth and peace of this palace; therefore, he named it Klai Kangwon, which literally means {escape from worries}.

Hua Hin station, the journey back to the past

In addition to the Summer Palace, Hua Hin owns many other famous attractions to bring guests different emotions. For me, the most special site is the old Hua Hin station, which reminds guests of the past of this place. The station was built during the reign of king Rama VII. This was the same period when the king chose Hua Hin as a destination for his summer vacation. Hua Hin station was designed in wood, in the traditional architecture of Thai’s Sala. It’s main purpose was for transporting royal members from Bangkok to Hua Hin. The most remarkable feature of Hua Hin is the waiting lounge, which is only used for royal members. This lounge was moved from the Sanamchan palace of Nakom Pathom. Hua Hin station is one of the most ancient and beautiful stations in Thailand. It is now an inseparable symbol of this city.

If you are feeling melancholy, you should get out of the station gate and walk to the noisy Hua Hin night market with a variety of Thai dishes.

Traveling here at sunset, when the city starts to turn on its lights, you will feel that the olden days are coming back. The cool station at dusk has some people sitting on benches waiting for the train.

They silently watch the shadows of the lamp-posts on the ground or the steam engine on the rails. After the bell rings, the train goes and comes quickly, returning peace and tranquility to the station with the light on the red-lacquered wood and the loosen time left.

Food and Shopping at Hua Hin night market After leaving Hua Hin station, if you are feeling melancholy, you should get out of the station gate, turn left and walk along the street to the noisy Hua Hin night market with a variety of Thai dishes.

This market will please you with a wide selection of food, souvenirs and voices of local people.

There are many seafood shops near the seashore with reasonable prices. The

114

TRAVELLIVE

market also gathers various streetfoods of Thai people. You can buy souvenirs or not, but you cannot miss the chance to taste some local specialties of Thailand in the market.

If you do not buy a souvenir for your relatives in the market, you can walk to Pleanwan to get some false antiques or to the FN Outlet for cheap things for you and your family. Pleanwan was the first ancientstylized eco-village in Thailand. The village was built at the end of 2009 in order to recreate and preserve daily activities of Hua Hin as a fishing village with small fish ports.

In Pleanwan, you will find houses suspended on pillars and all daily routines take place in the air such as those of the fishermen. In the space made by materials, which can bring the feelings of the past, such as old wood and rusty iron, ancient stories from Hua Hin are retold in shops full of traditional things on streets with false antiques hidden behind glassy walls. Many corners are painted with old memories of Hua Hin to create a warm space.

to the cafe behind it, you will find a surprising small museum with vehicles and antiques from the 1920s collected by Thai people. After passing across the lobby, you will feel like you were walking in an old movie that you watched during your childhood.

Here, you can witness ancient cars, sparkling under the light, various bikes with small and big wheels, old bags with the tags of itineraries, stained and rusty armours, classic terrestrial globes or ancient dolls and toys.

On the way from Pleanwan to the summer palace, you will pass FN Outlet, where you should spend half a day choosing many cheap clothes from different brand names such as Nike, Adidas, Zara, FCUK and Esprit. This Outlet covers a large area with a lake and plenty of green trees. From the modern shopping area, walking

If you are searching for impressive sights or a high architectural structure, you may not find them in Hua Hin.

travel I love beaches on the island nation of Seychelles more than anywhere else due to their pristine features and legends marking the primitive age of their African settlers. When our plane landed at Seychelles International Airport on Mah채 island, I could see a magnificent scene of 155 islands running along the blue sea.

I got on board a high-speed ferry to La Digue, the third most inhabited island, home to pristine beaches and legends of sea turtles.

island of Seychelles. The island is home to pristine beaches and legends of sea turtles.

Lush green coconut trees cool down the pebble paths along the sea. At the island’s center, I was impressed by the sound of bikes that visitors ride around the place.

The island is a peaceful and a perfect destination for a summer holiday with blue sea, white sand and yellow sunshine.

Like other visitors, my Japanese friend and I hired a bike at 1USD/day to ride around the island’s wild paths.

All curved paths on the island are filled with lush green trees, bringing a comfortable and cool feeling to any visitor. This was my first impression of Seychelles.

The settlements of the French in 1756 and the English in 1794 brought a diversity of languages and architectural styles to the island. Many of the locals can speak three languages: French, English and Creole. However, French seems to be preferred. Luckily for me, I also prefer to hear the fine and gentle accents of French whenever I get the chance. I also love the ancient houses built in French architectural style in Victoria, the island’s capital, with their colorful confetti of flowers at their gates.

La Digue & Legends of Sea Turtles I had a lovely time at Anse Aux Pins beach, where I played in the turquoise water, lay down in wild plants and read a book in the cool wind, getting up to wander around and taste scrumptious grilled seafood dishes at cheap prices.

From Victoria I got on board a high-speed ferry to La Digue, the third most inhabited

I was surprised by the spectacular shapes of rock plates along Anse Source d’Argent beach. They were like enormous sea turtles lying among otherwise unadulterated white. While I tasted the sweet flavor of coconuts, Shawn, the owner of the tea shop we were lounging at, told me about the ecological diversity of the island. {Those shapes make La Digue unique among the islands of Seychelles} he said. {In addition, with these images, Seychelles has a legend of huge sea turtles to remind its people to protect the delicate marine ecosystem here.} La Digue was named after a ship in the fleet of French explorer Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne, who visited the Seychelles in 1768. The island is the home of various species of animal, especially colorful sunbirds. In recent years, the green sea turtles, which used to live on Aldabra island, have come to settle here, coincidentally, on the very rocks which resemble them. Here the people believe that the island was created by turtles, also thought to have been the ancient guardians of the island’s inhabitance, protecting the people against the rough waves of the ocean. The legend reminds locals and visitors alike to take care of the island’s environment.

With a flow of fish caught from the ocean, the island offers a variety of dishes. I particularly liked the fish marinated with black sauce, skewered on a sugar-cane and grilled over charcoal. The sugarcane sweetens the fish, adding to its complexity and deliciousness. By pairing the fish with local wine fermented in coconuts, you will feel the summer pass by too quickly.

SPECTACULAR COCO DE MER COCONUTS

A

s I was entering Seychelles, my passport was stamped with a twin-coconut seal. In a box linking the two coconuts was written the date of my entry to the country. At the time, I thought that Seychelles was an archipelago of coconut trees, this fact being the reason for such an insignia.

You can see this symbol everywhere in Victoria. The coconuts even seem to tantalizingly depict a pair of breasts. What a sexy island! However, in a conversation with the locals, I learned that it was of a particular kind of coconut only found in Seychelles.

Called Coco de Mer or {Double Coconut}, they are special enough to stand as the symbol for this island nation.

Scientists in Seychelles think that these sexy coconuts originated from the Maldives, floating on the Indian ocean to this island.

Coco de Mer were found in Seychelles by Europeans in 1743 on Chauve Souris and lle ronde islands near Praslin island. However, they are now extinct on both islands.

Surviving trees were moved to Valle de Mai National Park on Praslin island. For viewing the original coconuts, I got on board for a 30 minute ride to Praslin.

The Universe creates many strange things that I could not have imagined at Vall채 de Mai. These coconut trees look like high palms with separate male and female plants. The male flowers are catkin-like, up to one meter long while the female flowers have the same shape but only 0.3 meters long with two small fruits around them. When the fruits grow larger, they remind one, just like the stamp on my passport, of breasts.

Also called sea coconuts, they are pollinated by the wind. The fruit, which requires 6 to 7 years to mature and a further two years to germinate, is 40 to 50 cm in diameter and weighs between 20 and 30 kg, containing the largest seed in the plant kingdom, the heaviest of which clocked in at 17.6 kg, a world record for seeds. Coco de Mer also hold two additional botanical records: the heaviest single recorded fruit, weighing 42 kg, and the largest female flowers of any plant.

Called CoCo de Mer, they are speCial nation. sCientists think that these sexy

enough to be the symbol for this coconuts originated from the Maldives.

Further information: ü You can take a flight on Emirates Airlines or Etihad Airways from Vietnam to Seychelles. Seychelles waives a visa for Vietnamese visitors who stay under 30 days. When entering the country, you should present your return tickets, hotel booking and cash for your travel in Seychelles (at least 200 USD/day). ü Seychelles uses Rupee (1SCR = 0.075USD). However, USD and Euro are also widely used. ü Located on the Indian Ocean, Seychelles features a tropical climate.

From April to November, it is cool with temperatures between 24 and 30 degrees C. The rest of the year is hot with a temperature between 31 to 35 degrees C. ü In addition to Mauritus, Seychelles is a new tourist destination in East Africa. Here, visitors can enjoy many activities and water sports. ü Buses operate around the main island of Mahä from 6:00 to 22:00 at 5SCR/turn.

The two sides of the fruit look like two kidneys. The meat is white and contains many minerals, which are said to cure a number of diseases. Believed by some to have spiritual properties, many Chinese flock to buy these fruits at a very expensive price for making medicines. They are also expensive because of the length of time they take to mature. Care to purchase one for the ride home? That will be 1000 USD.

ü To travel to La Digue, visitors can buy ferry tickets at the central wharf (the office near Victoria wharf) to Praslin island, a journey which takes about 2 hours. You should buy tickets one day before your journey. From Praslin island, visitors can buy tickets to La Digue. You can hire a bike at 1USD/ day along La Digue wharf. ü Hotels in Victoria are priced at about 60USD/night, at La Digue and Praslin at about 30USD/night. ü Note: Visitors are not allowed to bring any plant or animal out of Seychelles.

The moon is as a golden round plate in the starry sky and the sparkling surface of the ocean is broken by waves, crashing onto the white sandy shore and creating gentle sounds among the night winds of the Indian Ocean. Christopher flowers awake during the night, spreading their aroma into the air. I will always remember the sound and color of this island nation that everyone would do good to visit at least sometime during their life.

PART 2: ON THE TRAIL OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR Text: Thanh Tra Photos: Many Photographers

Malta is famous as the home of the mysterious Knights Templar. The theme of knights and knighthood is everywhere on the island and the code of chivalry lives on in daily life.

In Malta, the most popular souvenir is a metal knight. The romantic memory of the orders of knighthood lives on in the local culture.

in the foundation of Malta. The lightest suit, dented in battle, weighs about 45kg.

Surprisingly, the air is fresh, even though I’m standing in a deep underground trench. It may be a special feature of the architecture of this hospital.

THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA As the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea, Malta witnessed many wars between emperors, especially from the medieval period to the Second World War. In Malta, the most popular souvenir is a metal knight. Few Vietnamese tourists come to Malta, but I can see many Korean and Japanese women looking satisfied with souvenir statues of knights riding horses, holding shields or fencing. Everyone has her own knight!

Nowadays, Malta still has its knights’ hospital near Europe’s largest historical port, St. Elmo. The warm feeling of the small lanes and streets is replaced by the cold of the long stone tunnel leading to the knights’ hospital. The grand stone arch and the arrangement of sick-beds remain intact. The imposing stage of the nearby theater, once used to entertain patients, is now a venue for events. Tourists look admiringly at the display of armour worn by knights during the period of St. John, who played an important role

The romantic memory of the orders of knighthood lives on in the local culture.

The first thing I notice is how well local people take care of their heirlooms and antiques. I have a chance to visit an ancient house belonging to the Depiro family. Behind the tiny door, a large space is filled with an array of antiques, which are also household items, carefully preserved through generations of the family and arranged under the big chandelier. The family tree, which clearly presents every generation, shows a weathy noble family. The houseowner decided to turn the house into a small museum. The family’s paintings and objects make an impressive collection.

If you travel around the capitals of Italy, France, Belgium or Germany, especially Rome and Paris, the tour guides will remind you to mind your pockets. It is easy for tourists to be robbed in crowded places. However, Meli, our tour guide in Malta, never mentioned crime. In Malta, visitors can feel safe and relaxed while shopping and sightseeing. Malta has only one prison - to punish foreign prisoners.

The number of local prisoners can be counted on one hand.

A TRADITIONAL MEAL IN GOZO It takes about 20 minutes to travel from Valletta to Gozo island by boat. The lifestyle in Gozo is slower than in the capital city. This island boasts the ancient temple of Ggantija, located in Xaghra. As the ancient people used huge stones to build this temple, Ggantija is known as a {House of Giants}, and is one of the first buildings in the world with a facade. The impressive sight of the massive, well preserved stones inspires visitors to discover more about Ggantija’s history.

A traditional Gozo lunch at a seaside restaurant is also very impressive. While we are waiting for our food, we can relax and look at the clear blue sea, just five metres away. I’m no expert on European food, but the twenty Gozo dishes we are served could have been cooked by a Vietnamese chef! Some dishes from Valletta such as stuffed meat with green melon, sauteed eggplant and mixed rice are very nutritious and suitable for the Vietnamese palate.

TRAVELLIVE

My favorite dish here is steamed Mutso (a kind of mussel) with chopped celery and lime juice, served with red wine or beer. The dish really wakes up my taste buds and warms me against the cold ocean winds. With steamed fresh fish marinated with spices in front of me, I ask Mely: {Why are there so many different dishes in a traditional meal?} {We prefer dishes that are good for our health. You know, islanders get our energy from foods which do not cause obesity or heart disease,} she replies. It is true that in Valletta and Gozo I don’t see as many obese people as in Europe, Australia or Canada.

The beaches in Gozo are not as beautiful as in Vietnam, but the sea is clear and smooth for bathing. Dwejra Bay is particularly favored by nature, with clear water and a natural arch called Azura Window, which was created by the sea over millions of years. This arch reminds us of To Vo lava arch in Ly Son. Gozo has another attraction to offer: the salt pans - an ancient rock salt field, dating from the Roman period. Many

local families still use the rock salt field to produce salt in the traditional way. From May to September, they harvest salt and sell it in small bottles. Like the salt mine I saw in Berchtesgaden (Austria), the salt pans are useful for locals and also an interesting sight for visitors.

Although I do not have enough time to visit the two famous churches, the Cathedral and Basilica of St. George, in the center of the town of Victoria (built in the 17th century), I don’t want to miss out on the ripe pomegranates in Gozo. Our car stops near a local farmer’s pomegranate garden. He looks very down to earth and warm-hearted. We taste red pomegranates, yellow cactus fruits and olive oil. For just one Euro, you can buy a big, ripe, juicy pomegranate.

We say goodbye to Gozo as the houses disappear from sight, hidden behind cactuses and stone fences. I feel as if I’m leaving my home town and the sound of the knight’s horse is getting fainter.

Now I realize Malta is a real wonderland that I will certainly come back to in the future.

Further information: ü Itinerary: From HCMC, you can take a flight of Emirates Airlines to Malta with a stopover at Dubai. ü The republic of Malta includes three main islands known as {sister islands}, in which Malta located in the south is the largest island, then Gozo in the north and Comino in the central region.

Most tourist activities take place on these three islands, especially on Malta and Gozo. ü Movie lovers around the world have known about the famous film of Troy, of which Troy wall built at Fort Ricasoli on Malta island and some other important scenes filmed at Mellieha, a small town in the north of Malta, and on Comino island. Malta was also the film set for Popeye The Sailor Man. ü Situated on Malta island, Valletta was placed in top 10 brightest tourist cities of the world in 2015 and recognized as a cultural capital of Europe in 2018. Valletta was also honored as a world heritage site by UNESCO with an ancient space, featuring castles, ancient imperial cities, churches, palaces, theaters, public gardens, residential houses, offices and shopping centers that make Valletta different from the rest of Europe. ü Cuisine: Many restaurants and cafes in Malta offer delicious wines and foods. You should try Al Fresco dishes to enjoy the Mediterranean flavors, especially in summer, when you can both taste scrumptious dishes while viewing the beautiful scenery. ü Experiencing the night at Valletta Old Quarter: Music, snacks, fresh beer or cocktails in the sparkling light at the old quarter will surely allure you.

If you like lively ambiance, you can drop into famous restaurants and night clubs at Paceville & St. Julian, Bugibba or Qawra. Those, who like quietness, can visit bars at Republic street. ü Souvenirs: because Valletta was built by knights of the Middle Ages, the vestiges of knighthood are clearly seen, from architectural style to lifestyle.

In Malta, remember to buy a metal statue of knights to give your family and friends. ü Currency: The republic of Malta uses Euros for their currency because it is located in the European Union. Local currency is Lira Malta. ü Malta is about 93km from Sicily island of Italy in the south. Some tour operators offer tours linking Malta to Sicily and Dubai.

GENERAL NEWS

VASCO

 After launching the Busan - Danang direct route with the frequency of two flights per week, Air Busan plans to double the flight schedule to four times a week from May. Flights depart at 21:35 in Busan and at 1:10 from Danang (local time); arrive at 7:20 in Busan and 1:10 in Danang (local time).

The flight duration is 4 hours and 35 minutes each way. The increase in the frequency of Busan Danang route shows the higher travel demand and tourist potential in both destinations.  The French Embassy in Hanoi signed an agreement with six Vietnamese companies to fast-track visa approvals for Vietnamese travellers. The agreement allows Hanoi Red Tour, Naci Travel, Hanoi Iso Tours, Hanoi Tourist, South Pacific Travel and Vietfoot Travel to offer simplified visa procedures.

Particularly, the tourists to go to French who have already traveled to foreign countries, espeacially European countries, will benefit from the deal. With the newly-signed deal, France wishes to welcome more Vietnamese tourists to the country, according to the French Embassy.  The government has granted a license to Vietnamese-owned Globaltrans Air, allowing it to operate {general aviation} activities which include charter services.

Under the license, Globaltrans will run various commercial and civil flying operations, but cannot have scheduled passenger services. Globaltrans Air bought two twin-turboprop aircraft King Air B200 from American producer Beechcraft.  Following a recent decision by the Danang

DUYET THI DUONG (HUE)

People's Committee, the Danang Light Festival 2015 which was scheduled to be held from 24 - 26 April will be postponed until early September to mark the 70th anniversary of Viet Nam's National Day (September 2). The postponement will allow the city to prepare for the event which will develop as a special new tourism product to attract more visitors to the city.

The festival is organized by Global 2000, the host of the International Firework Festival, with a total expense of 60 billion VND.  Recently, due to the increase in value of USD notes and the decline of euros, the travel expense to Europe has become cheaper than ever. According to the latest research from the TripAdvisor website, the package expense for a trip to Europe this summer is 11% cheaper than that of last year, based on expenses for return tickets, food and accommodation as well as other fees.

Popular cheap destinations include Istanbul, Bucharest, Romania and Krakow.

Meanwhile, London, Paris, Edinburgh, Scotland and Reykjavik cost tourists a much higher expense.  Vietnamese travellers using Turkish Airlines now have a unique opportunity to spend their transit time visiting Istanbul instead of simply lounging around waiting at the airport for their connecting flight. This is a chance for Vietnamese travelers to discover ancient architectural structures of Turkey such as Sultan Ahmed mosque, Hippodrome square and Topkapi palace. Turkish Airlines also offers free e-Visa for passengers, who use return tickets of the carrier departing between April 15 and June 30. To use this convenience, you need to provide necessary information for e-Visa

along with many documents of Nguyen Dynasty.

 The first direct flights from Hanoi to Kenya will take about nine hours, instead of nearly 14 hours as before. Kenya Airways is the first airline to directly connect Vietnam to Africa with three flights per week to Noi Bai international airport

by Boeing 787-800. Viet Nam has shown considerable and stable economic growth in recent years, and there has been increased trade between the East Asian country and African markets.

Direct flights to Hanoi will offer easy connectivity to business and leisure travellers and will open up trade opportunities between the two fast-growing regions.

With the new flights to Hanoi, the proportion of revenue from the Asian market will rise to 10%, beside 25% from US and EU, and 60% from Africa.

 The Vietnam Air Services Company (Vasco) launched a new flight route connecting the southern Can Tho Province and the central highlands city of Da Lat in Lam Dong Province.

Vasco and Vietravel inked a partnership with the governments of Can Tho and Lam Dong Province for the new route.

This is the first time ever a direct flight has connected these two major tourism and economic hubs. The new service will be operated by Vietnam Air Services Company (Vasco) and the Vietravel tourist company. Vasco would operate its 65-seat ART aircraft on this route.

As the flight operator, Vietravel, would book at least 40 seats on each flight, while the last 25 seats would be sold at a promotional price of VND990,000 for a one-way ticket.

 Duyet Thi Duong (Hue) is regarded as the oldest Vietnam royal theater.

The architecture has been already restored and opened to visitors recently.

Duyet Thi Duong Theater was built in 1826 under the power of Minh Mang Emperor. This used to be a royal theater where kings and lords enjoyed Vietnam traditional art forms, especially ancient Tuong singing and art performances to welcome foreign guests. In addition, the center renewed the displaying system of three reserved art forms, including royal music, royal dancing, and royal Tuong singing, introducing about documentary images, costumes, music instruments, and many relevant documents to the public and visitors.

In addition to the Vietnam traditional music, visitors can admire many documentary images, costumes, music instruments, Tuong's masks,

 Vietjet has officially launched the new SkyBoss class ticket. The SkyBoss class brings a lot of special benefits to the leaders: priority when in the check-in procedure, 20kg free checked baggage or a golf pack, priority in choosing seat, luxury lounge, private SkyBoss car, free meal and drink on the flight, and flight schedule change. Before launching SkyBoss, Vietjet Air only sells eco and promo tickets. The carrier reveals that it will sell SkyBoss tickets with a price of 30 - 50% cheaper than other airlines.

Currently, the shortest domestic itinerary for this class is priced at 1.7 million while the longest one is at 3.2 million. The longest international itinerary is priced at over 5 million. On 23 aircrafts of Vietjet Air, three first lines are exploited for SkyBoss tickets (18 seats), about 10% of the total capacity. The SkyBoss area is designed with a curtain to separate with other two classes.  Also around 5% off for promotion packages currently run by any hotels & resorts. The promotion programs launching continuously throughout the season brings you opportunities to get a suitable choice of hotel/resort with so reasonable price. VND 1,700,000 (including tax, surcharge and breakfast for two) is an impressive number for 1room/ night at Dalat Edensee Lake Resort & Spa. Such good price is also available if you prefer a stay at The Shell Resort Phu Quoc, An Lam Ninh Van Bay Nha Trang, Palm Garden Hoi An, Pullman Danang or even Paradise Cruise Ha Long and many others.

LY SON - THE KINGDOM OF GARLIC - PHOTO: LE HONG HA In recent years, Ly Son has been attracting a large number of tourists. In Ly Son, you will have a chance to immerse in the sea air and discover a very typical specialty. Ly Son is known as the kingdom of garlics. The way local people work the soil is very sophisticated. They cover the ground with a layer of basalt soil and then add a layer of sea sand. In addition, they build the automatic watering system. Garlics in Ly Son have special flavor due to the sand layer.
