Summer is an ideal time to travel by cruises around the world, immerse yourself in blue oceans and enjoy magnificent scenery of sunrise or twilight with ever-better facilities provided by five-star “floating hotels”.

Travellive would like to recommend you a list of the best junks in Halong Bay, Nha Trang Bay, cruises on Sai Gon river and Mekong river. Moreover, we also recommend exclusive tours to help you choose suitable itineraries bringing you memorable experience with your family. In addition, Travellive gives visitors first time travelling by junk some advices for a plenary and full of energy journey.

In this hot summer, we would like to introduce you some delicious “fusion” dishes and the fresh “Unagi” (also known as “eel”), a Japanese must-eat dish, which could be attractive suggestions for your summer menu.

This June, the festival recalling medieval history is going to attract more visitors to Salon-de-Provence Town in the South of France. You will be massively impressed by the animated atmosphere among the handicraftsmen, dealers, and costumed performers who appear in stories of the Middle Ages.

We wish you and your family an active summer fulfilled with enjoyment and good health.

ai Phong sea-crab spring rolls are a popular dish for both domestic and international diners. The locals’ method of making square spring rolls is very different from that of other regions. The main ingredients of this dish include fresh sea-crab meat, rice sheets for wrapping, minced pork, fresh shrimp, vermicelli, bean sprouts, green onion, fragrant mushroom, Judas’s ear fungus, egg yolk and spices. What makes the Hai Phong sea-crab spring rolls unique are the seacrab meat and rice sheets used to roll. In addition to sea-crab, other ingredients, including chopped shrimp, minced pork, Judas’s ear fungus, vermicelli, bean sprouts and purple onion, are only found in this rendition of the dish. The stuffing is the mixture of them all. Then, add egg yolk to create the stickiness for the roll. Dip the rice sheets in water and let them dry. Then, add the mixture onto the rice sheets and roll into squares.

Boil or steam sea-crab and remove meat. Choosing a suitable amount of ingredients is also very important because it may easily cloy diners’ appetites and does not bring out the natural flavor of seafood. In Hai Phong spring rolls, since pork and shrimp are not dominant ingredients, they are used sparingly. A little fat should be added into

minced pork to make it softer. Whether the spring roll is square or cylinder, it must be kept in its shape when being fried. The special taste of sea-crab meat is not mixed with other ingredients. The spring roll must be aromatic rather than fishy. Frying spring rolls is also significant.

Do not forget to take the spring rolls out of the boiling oil when they turn a golden brown in order for them not to be overcooked. A simple but decisive factor in a good sea-crab spring roll dish is the sauce. Fish sauce is traditionally made by Vietnamese; however, vinegar and chili sauce, in the Chinese tradition, are popular in Hai Phong.

Sea-crab spring rolls in any region may be changed a little bit to be suitable with the taste of each region or cook. If you visit Ngon restaurant at 138 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Dist. 1, Saigon, you will surely have a chance to try a very scrumptious Hai Phong sea-crab spring roll dish that is different from that served in other restaurants. The owner of this restaurant has grown up in Hai Phong and has a very special passion for his local cuisine.

The sea-crab spring rolls here have been found, created, tasted and changed to make a perfect dish for diners. In addition to all necessary elements for a proper dish such as fresh seafood and sweet crab meat, which does not include any crust and is cut into moderate

pieces, the restaurant adds some original ingredients to enhance its flavor. Besides, after being fried, the spring roll must feature a crispy cover and soft stuffing.

To make the roll more aromatic and delicious with a golden brown cover, the rice sheet must be dipped into a mixture of powder and water before rolling. The size of the spring roll and the amount of boiled oil must reach a balance in order to give the rolls a soft inside and a crispy outside. The sauce, with its sour, sweet, and hot taste must not overwhelm the deep savor of spring rolls and bring out the sweetness and fragrance of the crab meat. This dish is served with raw vegetables. The sweetness of seafood, crispiness of its cover, freshness and coolness of vegetables, along with the sourness of sauce create a concert of taste. “All feelings and thoughts are wrapped into this sea-crab spring roll!” shared the owner of Ngon 138 restaurant.

American singer, David C Murray chose Vietnam to develop his passion and talent of music. During three years living here, David has become very interested in this dish. He has traveled to many destinations and enjoyed many different spring rolls. At Ngon 138, he praised this dish effusively: “This is the best spring roll that I have every tasted!”

David C Murray visited Ngon 138 and learned to make this spring roll as well as experience being a chef for a day at the restaurant on his rare free day.

Just 90 minutes away from Ho Chi Minh City, Alma Oasis Long Hai is the perfect idyllic resort for anyone wishing to spend a peaceful beach holiday whilst being surrounded by lush greenery and a gorgeous hilltop panoramic view. With a low-density built-up area and only low rise structures, you’ll find an open freshness at Alma Oasis Long Hai that is uplifting and truly relaxing.

Double or twin rooms, quaintly housed in bungalows scattered over the undulating hill slopes, offer a lovely range of accommodation.

Rooms are spacious, with patios or balconies for outdoor lounging with garden and ocean views.

The Garden Family Pavilions are ideal for families with 2 young children, as a twin room is cleverly integrated into the main double room. Rooms are well-appointed with modern dÈcor and fresh colour schemes that bring the calm ocean feeling indoors. Bathrooms are ensuites, most with seductive outdoor bathtubs. Espresso machines, bluetooth speakers, comfy beds with fluffy pillows and ambient adjustable lighting are just part of what makes a stay at Alma Oasis Long Hai such a wonderful treat.

For luxurious living, there are the 5 villas located on a more secluded part of the hilltop. Each villa has a private swimming pool set in a garden surrounded courtyard, with a delightful outdoor lounge area, and an absolutely stunning view.

Choose either 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom villas, all with ensuite bathrooms, walk-in showers and bathtubs. Separate living-dining areas, and well equipped kitchenettes provide additional comfort. The largest villa has 4 bedrooms with a prestigious beachfront location. With the Beachfront Pool Villa, you can almost step out of your pool into the ocean!

Walk downhill towards the beach and there is the main swimming pool and poolside Blue Waves bar - perfect relaxing spaces for sunbathing and enjoying the southern Vietnamese sea breeze.

Dine to the sound of the ocean at the beach restaurant - My Oasis - offering fresh seafood catch of the day, or international and Vietnamese cuisine.

Especially, Alma Oasis Long Hai offers an all spa inclusive concept. Included in the room rate is a daily 90-minute spa journey that consists of steam or sauna, a massage, tai chi movement session or silent relaxation.

Whether staying in rooms or villas, Alma Oasis Long Hai with its beautiful gardens and pathways that lead you down to quiet white sandy beaches is an idyllic must-stay resort. Historically a site for the private residence of Bao Dai, Vietnam’s last emperor, Alma Oasis Long Hai is all about discovering yourself in a charming local culture of simplicity, with heart-warming people sharing local hospitality and quaint journeys to traditional fishing villages and surrounding markets.

RETURNING TO JURASSIC WORLD Filmed on the background of an isolated island near Costa Rica, Jurassic World takes audiences to a huge and magnificent world with numerous special dinosaurs. Twentytwo years after the events of Jurassic Park, the island now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park. At the corporation's request, the park's geneticists create a hybrid dinosaur known as Indominus rex to boost visitor attendance. Claire Dearing is the park's operations manager. Her nephews, Zach and Gray are visiting the island when the hybrid escapes and are subsequently caught up in the creature's deadly rampage. Now, it is up to Owen and Jurassic World's security team to contain the hybrid dinosaur before she can cause more damage.

With advanced filming techniques and meticulous investment, Jurassic World is reappeared properly on the screen and brings audiences a true adventure this summer.

With the title of "Single White Female in Hanoi", the book tells about this Sydneybased musician Carolyn Shine, who moves to Hanoi virtually on a whim, expecting to find romance and available culture. She's in for some big surprises.

Funny, warm and engaging, her travel memoir introduces us to a cast of memorable Vietnamese characters as well as her fellow foreigners searching for love and adventure. In the book, Hanoi described by Carolyn Shine was a city of early millennium. It has been more than a decade since she first came to Hanoi.

"THE MIST" CONTEMPORARY DANCE SHOW "The Mist" is a contemporary dance performed by 30 professional dancers from Arabesque dance group and directed by Tan Loc. The show depicts the life of farmers as they go about their daily tasks in the early morning mist. Some activities like going to market, husking the rice, and tending the rice fields are performed uniquely and artistically. Thereby, the image of Vietnamese farmers, who are hardworking and industrious, is presented very clearly. Besides, simple images of farmers are also expressed by familiar props such as clothes, bamboo frames and rice.

In general, the show will draw out a truthful overall picture of farmers' early working day.

CHOOSING A SUITABLE SEA ROUTE, SHIP AND CABIN A cruise is sure to be a new and distinctive experience. It will help you release all that stress that comes from too many procedures and luggage transportations when travelling by plane or rail. To enjoy a perfect cruise, the 5 following recommendations should be taken into consideration.

Are you traveling to natural beach paradises such as Phuket (Thailand) and Jeju Island (Korea), bustling cities such as Tokyo, or splendid European landscapes such as romantic France, picturesque Italy and ancient Spain? After you select your favorite destination, it is necessary to choose a suitable ship to enjoy a perfect experience. If Disney Dream (Disney Cruise) is suitable for families with kids and Orion Expedition is an option for adventurers, Royal Caribbean attracts high-income passengers with its high-end services.

On board cruises such as Regent Seven Seas, you will be served when you book a Suite room. Celebrity and

Costa Cruises offer spa cabins.

If you have a chance to choose, you should take a cabin on the upper floors in the front side of the ship.

These locations will not be swung much by strong waves and winds.

Depending on your demand, you can stay in a cabin for a reasonable price.

Not simply an alternative way to travel, a five-star cruise is also a “mobile entertaining city amidst the ocean.� Luxurious conveniences on the cruise are included in the price. You can stay at classy rooms such as well-appointed Interior room, Promenade looking to the Royal promenade, Ocean View with a window to the sea or Balcony room with a private balcony to view the ocean.

games of poker or slot machines.

In addition, international cruises also own fashion stores of famous brand names that are ideal for shop-aholics. Particularly, all products on board are duty-free.

In sale-off season, these stores attract a large number of guests.

Fly-Cruise Tour and first-class services on international sea routes

Some countries on your itinerary may require a visa. Tour operators may assist you when applying for a travel visa.

Most cruises, which provide international itineraries, combine with air carriers to offer a new type of tourism: fly-cruise tour.

This is a harmonious combination of airplane and cruise in a tour.

From Vietnam, tourists will travel to an Asian country by airplane to start a long cruise.

Bring necessary documents when you go on board: Boarding Pass Passport with a validity of at least 6 months, 3-5 copies of your passport, and two passport-sized photos. Whenever you get off the cruise, bring the copies of your passport.

The price often includes air tickets, airport fee, surcharge, transportation to the wharf, package program on the cruise, sightseeing fee, food and beverage, checked baggage and travel insurance.

Experience free services on board the cruise

With special cruises, the price will exclude air tickets. However, you can also buy a promotional ticket at their partner air carriers.

When you book a tour, remember to ask for detailed information about free transportation to the wharf.

Notice before going on board: Health & Visa When you decide to take a cruise, you should be advised about your health. It is wise to understand risks when you travel to different countries. A common combatant of seasickness is having a cup of hot ginger tea or green tea. In addition, there is an abundance of medicines made for such purposes.

The cruise prices always includes on board services, transportation during the tour on the ground, food and beverage. In addition, Eurasian culinary world will satisfy even the toughest.

However, remember to go to the right restaurant because you will have to pay for your meals in some restaurants on board the cruise. Some cruise tours also include tickets for a BBQ party or music show on the beach.

The cruise may also surprises you with an array of activities, including outdoor swimming pools, challenging games or indoor recreational space.

While adults can relax in enormous libraries on the cruise, their kids can enjoy their own world to improve their intelligence and movement ability. Activities include an ocean adventure, fashion designing and game workshops. If you like casinos, you can try your luck by

Discover fantastic entertainment paradises When the ship moors, it is wise to search for information of the wharf and destination to enjoy the best time on the ground.

Especially, when you travel by sea route and anchor at different countries around the world, you will have a chance to visit off-thebeaten-track sites such as pristine Langkawi island in Malaysia, serene Mallorca island in Spain and Sapporo city in Japan, all difficult locations for tourists to visit by airway. You are advised to take notice of the arrival and departure times of your cruise to get on board in time.

With a cruise around the world, you will realize that the joy of tourism is not only visiting famous sites but also enjoying every moment on board your journey. Instead of being tired during hours of air travel, you can enjoy the journey and take part in many exciting and classy activities on a cruise.

Integrated with the most advanced technology, Quantums of the Seas even surpasses many continental modern 5-star resorts by its unique feature that allows tourists to access the internet with the super-speed via satellites. Each passenger will be granted a “smart bracelet” named WOWband which paves the way for check-in, check-out and also allows users to open their rooms and pay for everything whenever buying any product or using services of the cruise.

You just order your favorite drinks at the bar by a slight tap on the tablet, then two robots, B1-0 and N1-C, which can make two cups of drink per minute, will serve you the most favorful drinks at once. The more surprising event is the first presence of Jamie’s Italian, a luxurious restaurant managed by Jamie Oliver, one of the world’s top ten chefs.

Each passenger has a Seacard.

some photos of the ship.

Day 1: Singapore and THE opulenT CRUISE The cruise departs from Singapore. I take a flight from HCMC to Changi airport in the morning and then travel to Marina Bay Sands Cruise harbor.

Getting off the coach at the wharf, I leave my baggage for the cruise staff to take to my cabin. I only bring my hand luggage.

The cruise operator has provided me with my itinerary, cabin number, floor number and illustrated images of my accommodation on the cruise.

Passengers on different floors check in at different counters.

On board, staff takes photos of the passengers and records their information, including photo and passport number, on a Seapass card.

I am astonished at the might of the cruise ship (Voyager line of Royal Caribbean Cruises) with a length of 311m and a weight of 138,000 tons. It has 15 floors, which can hold up to 3000 passengers and 1000 crew. The entrance is on the fourth floor.

After passing through the security gate, I enter the lobby to take

My cabin is on the sixth floor, overlooking the sea, with a balcony to view the ocean and welcome the sunrise in the early morning. Although the room on the cruise ship is not as spacious as one on land, it is equipped with modern facilities such as a sofa, make-up desk, TV, fridge and even a curtain to separate the bed from the sofa when entertaining guests. The room is always clean and neat because it is tidied up three times a day by cabin crew.

Guests are welcomed with a Welcome Aboard packet of biscuits and a towel folded in the shape of a peacock. Every day, the butler folds towels into the shapes of different animals and puts them on my bed. The ship surfs the sea so gently and smoothly that I cannot perceive its movement until a crew member says it has been steaming across the high seas for an hour.

In the afternoon, I take the opportunity to explore the cruise ship. The central part of the ship is the Royal Promenade on the fifth floor. It stretches from the bow to the stern of the ship.

The promenade is designed in European style with lots of duty-free fashion and cosmetics stores (only open when the boat enters international waters), the Promenade cafä, serving passengers 24 hours a day with a free flow of drinks and cakes, and the Espresso cafe, where guests have to pay for their food and drinks. I feel like I’m walking

down a Western street. In the evening, the Welcome Aboard music show is performed at Savoy theater on the third floor as a warm greeting to passengers who are taking this sea route through three countries.

At 20:30, from the Savoy theater at the bow of the cruise, I move to the Rhapsody in Blue restaurant at the stern to have dinner. As required by the cruise operator, when having meals in one of the three luxurious restaurants on the third, fourth and fifth floors, passengers have to dress formally and sit in the place written on the Seapass card.

Stepping into the restaurant, I am amazed by the space and music.

Although Rhapsody in Blue, Top Hat And Tails, and The Sound Of Music restaurants are located on three different floors, they share a lobby. Waiters dressed in shirt and tie happily welcome and guide me to the right table. A waiter pulls out the chair, invites me to sit down, shows me the menu and waits for my order.

My dinner is an a-la-carte meal, including starters, main course, classic course and desserts. The menu is changed daily to vary the options for the guests. If you are wondering what to order due to too many choices, you can have a meal recommended by the chef.

The dinner on the cruise is so lavish that it takes me 2 hours to finish it. Alongside some delicious cake, I am also served with a cup of mint tea, which is my favorite drink.

Out door area at the stern

DAY 2: Putrajaya and modern Kuala Lumpur For breakfast there is a set menu at any of the restaurants on the third, fourth and fifth floors or a buffet at the Windjammer restaurant on the eleventh floor.

As I want to get to Kuala Lumpur soon, I decide to have breakfast at the Windjammer restaurant, which serves more than 100 European and Asian dishes, salads and fresh fruit such as kiwis, apples, pears, peaches, yoghurt, lemonade and ginger juice. You can choose any table to enjoy your meal.

Normally, in a buffet restaurant, you are not allowed to take food out of the dining area. However, on this five-star cruise, you can take food anywhere you like. After the meal, the staff will pack your food for you. If you’re not feeling well, you can call waiters to serve food in your room from 6:00 to 23:45. You will have to pay for an extra fee of 5USD if you require

The captain and crew greet visitors

room service outside these hours.

At 8:00a.m, the ship moors at Port Klang (Malaysia). After breakfast, I disembark and take a coach to Putrajaya, the new federal administrative center of Malaysia, about 25km away from Kuala Lumpur in the south.

Malaysians boast of Putrajaya as an intelligent city because its administrative areas, schools and hospitals are managed by the most advanced information technology.

We visit Seri Wawasan, a famous suspension bridge shaped like a boat spreading its sails. Then we come to Putra mosque, which is known as the “pink mosque”. Located by Putra lake, the mosque is a perfect combination of traditional and modern Muslim architectural styles. It is constructed from rosetinted granite, with an impressive 116-meter minaret influenced by the design of the Sheikh Omar Mosque in Baghdad. Next, we

travel to Istana Negara National Palace, situated on a hill. The flag flying on the flagpole tells me the king is in the palace.

Once we enter the center of Kuala Lumpur, we cannot miss the Petronas Twin Towers, the symbol of Malaysian prosperity.

With a height of 451.9m, they were the highest towers in the world. After touring around Kuala Lumpur capital, I return to Port Klang to depart for the beautiful island of Penang at 17:00. The evening of our second day on the cruise is so full of activities that we all forget our tiredness after a long day.

A highlight of the day is the welcome wine party given by the captain at the Royal Promenade.

At 19:00, ladies and gentlemen dressed in the traditional costumes of their countries to enjoy the wine and talk happily.

The captain and officers give speeches and greet guests. I am honored to have my photo taken with some of the officers.

After dinner, I return to the central boulevard to see the performance of dances from the 1970s. On the stage, singers and dancers in colorful clothes perform timeless songs and music. The ambiance is even livelier when dancers throw glow sticks to a few lucky people in the audience.

hometown. The mural is more vivid when guests are added to the scene. For example, you can ride a real rickshaw by images of a man riding his rickshaw in the old quarter. The images are so realistic that it’s hard to tell which is which if you take a photo.

We also visit a famous pagoda on the island, Thai Chaiya Mangalaram on Burma street, with the world’s third largest lying Buddha statue. Local people call this pagoda Sleeping Buddha. Buddhists come here to respectfully offer candles and jasmine flower wreaths to pray for safety and good luck.

Day 3: Multi-cultural influences on Penang island Our cruise anchors at Penang island, shaped like a swimming turtle, in the Malacca channel in northwest Malaysia. The island used to be the gateway for Europeans to India, China and Thailand. Penang has a mixture of many cultures and customs in its ancient streets.

When I first walked into George Town old quarter (a world heritage site in Penang), I had a chance to witness extraordinary artistic images painted on the walls. These rustic paintings manifest the love locals have for their

If you are visiting Penang, it’s a must to taste the food on the island. People say that Penang is the kitchen of the world, with a wide selection of street food sold from mobile stalls. One particular dish is Char Koay Teow, which is fried noodles with bean sprouts, egg and meat, served with soy sauce. Braised chicken legs with sauce is also a spectacular dish that I had a chance to taste. The chicken skin is fatty and even the chicken bone can be eaten.

In the afternoon, I return to the ship for our journey to Phuket (Thailand). In the evening, I participate in some lively activities and rock out with the band.

Walking past Royale casino, I can hear the bustling sound of players shuffling cards, playing the machines and shouting happily. In an onboard casino, guests can take photos freely.

Day 4: Firecrackers at Phuket Phuket island, located in the southwest, is the largest island in Thailand, with an area of nearly 540km2, and is regarded as a paradise for international tourists in Asia.

Mariner of the Seas is too big to moor near the shore, so we have to use small boats called tanners to get to the island, taking about 15 minutes.

Guests can indulge themselves on the island and return to the ship any time before it leaves, the tanners serve only serving cruise passengers.

As soon as I arrive on the island, I can sense the bustling atmosphere.

I take a tuk-tuk to visit Wat Chalong pagoda, which is regarded as the most sacred, largest and most extraordinary structure among the 29 pagodas on Phuket island. The pagoda is about 8km from the town center in the south and was built by King Rama II in the 19th century.

The pagoda hosts a gilded statue of monk Luang Po Cham, who led the

people of Phuket to fight against the invasion of Chinese soldiers in 1876.

At the top of the highest tower, I can see the breathtaking scenery of the mountains. Wind chimes hung at the four corners of the tower tinkle to bring peace to guests.

I move to the yard of Chalong pagoda and the area for burning firecrackers to pray for good luck. The sound of firecrackers reminds me of the traditional Tet holiday in Vietnam before the 1990s. It has been a long time since I last listened to the sound of firecrackers and saw their cases scattered over the ground. These chains of firecrackers attract both Thai and international visitors to Wat Chalong.

I would be missing out if I didn’t drop by Laem Phrom Thep cape, the southern tip of the island, to watch the stunning sunset. At the end of the day, the sun spreads its beams over the palm trees and the sea, making the surface sparkle like crystal. I return to the ship at dusk.

A Broadway Show on board

DAY 5: ENJOYING THE ENTERTAINMENT ON THE SHIP It takes 36 hours to return to Singapore from Phuket. It may sound boring; however, entertaining activities on the ship during that time bring me unforgettable experiences.

Early in the morning, I go to the sundeck on the twelth floor and follow the handrail of the ship to an open deck to enjoy the sunshine and the smell of the sea. To satisfy my interest in animal-shaped towels, I join a towel folding class at Flington bar on the fourteenth floor. It is exciting to shape small square towels into the Sydney Opera House or combine two green towels to make a pair of swans in a heart shape.

Together with some new friends on the ship, I go to the outdoor golf course and try my hand at playing golf on the green grass. On the ship, passengers can also experience rock climbing, basketball or football, or just watch the

shows at the bandstand. At lunchtime, an outdoor BBQ is served, with aromatic skewers of beef, chicken and seafood on huge grills, big pans of fried rice, plates of fruits and cake.

In the afternoon, the “Gallery of Dreams”, a well-known opera from the Broadway stage and a farewell variety show with Jeremy Ansley at the Savoy theater make us laugh and relax. At the end of the day, we bathe in the sea water swimming pool and revitalize ourselves in the warm jacuzzi.

On the sixth day, the last day of the journey, Mariner of the Seas arrives in the beautiful country of Singapore. It’s time to disembark from the ship, visit the famous sites of the country of the lion and fly back to Vietnam full of emotions.

Further information: ü From Changi airport, Singapore, you can take a taxi to Marina Bay Sands Cruise Terminal at 61 Marina Coastal Drive in about 40 minutes.

Your baggage will be transported to your room by the ship’s staff. At the port, you follow the escalator to the second floor for check-in. ü On the cruise, the crew will take

your passport and then return it to you in the evening before the last day of the journey. During your journey, the Seapass card is very important. It is the key to your room and your passport on the ship and on land. If you lose the card by mistake, the staff on board will provide you a new card free. ü To leave enough time to check in, you should arrive at the terminal three hours before your departure from Singapore. ü Necessary documents include your passport and a certificate of health.

Passengers are not allowed to bring sharp items on board. If you bring them by accident, you will have to check them in and get them back at the end of your journey. ü The cruise has an environmental protection policy, so you should bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste.

On the first day of the cruise, you have to take part in an emergency drill. When you go to the mainland to visit tourist sites, remember to return to the ship at least an hour before its departure in case you are delayed. ü Some notices on board: You can bring food and drink from the buffet restaurant to your room. At the set menu restaurants, you should arrive as a group if you would like to enjoy your meal together. You cannot reserve seats for other people if they come later. Wifi is expensive. ü Currently, One Travel International is the exclusive agency of Royal Carribean Cruises in Vietnam, offering either package or Free & Easy tours.

SALMON TARTAR WITH CRISPY SALAD AND APPLE DRESSING & GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN ROLLED IN MUSHROOM WITH TERIYAKI SAUCE Presented in a rectangular dish, this appetizer seems to encompass every style of cooking on Earth. Fillet the salmon, cut into small cubes and toss in tartar sauce. Cut green and red lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and beetroots into bite-sized pieces and soak in ice water to crisp. Toss in apple cider vinegar. Then, put the salmon into a round stainless steel mould, press in the prepared vegetables and add a little Hong Kong salt. This looks a bit like shrimp or salmon roe.

In fact, it is specially prepared salt.

For the grilled beef rolled in mushroom, use tenderloin beef imported from the USA (the best tenderloin), cut into thin slices, wrap in Enoki mushrooms, coat with Teriyaki sauce (Japanese sauce), and then grill. Score across and serve with reduced Teriyaki sauce. Add a crispy mixed salad, and fried basil to give a green color to the dish. Season to taste.

As well as its main ingredients, salad needs a sauce. French apple dressing, with its light sour taste, will balance the fattiness of the salmon, while the tartar sauce will cool down the heat. The beef fillet's strong flavor is blended with sweet Teriyaki sauce, aromatic soy sauce, braised bone and a little bit of spicy basil, and harmonized with the sweet flavor of Enoki mushrooms.

STUFFED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM, HAM AND WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE Mushrooms are very nutritious and traditionally regarded as healthy to eat in hot weather. Many kinds of mushrooms are used in traditional dishes. Let's try something different: stuffed chicken with mushroom, ham and

wild mushroom sauce.

This western dish made from popular Vietnamese ingredients will taste both familiar and new. Chicken breast fillet is the cut for this recipe. Smoked ham is ground and stirred with olive oil and mushroom, then stuffed into the chicken breast which is finally sauteed.

The wild mushroom sauce is a creative mixture

of the French Cep mushroom and Asian straw mushrooms cooked in a European beef stock with an aromatic flavor.

A perfect combination of chicken, mushroom, ham and tasty mushroom sauce, and a garnish of sour and sweet beet sauce and green cinnamon leaves, bring a novel appearance to this unique dish.

BAKED RED SNAPPER WITH LEMONGRASS & ROASTED TIAN VEGETABLES IN LEMON BUTTER SAUCE Red snapper fish, often eaten at Vietnamese parties, is a

creative choice for a unique European style dish, given a fusion twist with lemongrass.

Fillet, clean and sautee the fish. Mince the lemongrass, toss in olive oil, pepper and salt, then rub it onto the fish and bake. The red snapper fish is served with Tian vegetables - green squash, yellow squash and carrot. The grilled and sauteed vegetables are mixed with olive oil and salt and baked in the oven.

The decoration is a combination of Asian and European styles.

Beetroot sauce provides a background for the vegetables, and a little mashed potato forms a bed for the grilled fish.

Finally, sprinkle lemon butter sauce over the fish. The final product is golden brown with the aroma of lemongrass and spices. The dish is best served with a glass of white wine, giving a classic European finish to this fusion meal.

Every summer, Japanese streets are particularly busy with streams of people who call for one another to eat "Unagi" in order to cool down.

In Japanese, "Unagi" means "eel" - a special meat which is enjoyed by many people on scorching days because fresh eel not only cools the human body but also provides protein-rich meat, full of vitamins A and E as well as packed with minerals.

In

Oriental medicine, eel is considered to be a valuable cure for those who are malnourished, or who often feel too hot. When Japanese cuisine is mentioned, diners often think of Sushi and Sashimi; however, for Japanese people, Unagi is a must-eat dish which people are willing to spend whole days queuing for. Particularly, on ushi-no-hi days (or "Ox Day" in the lunar calendar-the hottest days of the year), you can't miss the lines of people queuing in front of Unagi restaurants in temperatures of 35 degree Celsius.

Grilled Unagi is the most popular dish in Japan. When grilled, the cook can combine the best taste of eel while retaining its nutrition. Tenne Unagi is the most expensive natural eel meet.

These eels are grown naturally in rivers or lakes instead of being brought up by local people. Their meat is considered tastier than farmed eel. Eels are an interesting species. When they are small, most of them are females.

During their maturing period, when their bodies become longer, they become hermaphrodites. At this time, eels will balance their features of male and female in their community to maintain the balance of their breed.

The Vietnamese enjoy the eels of

Dong Thap Muoi and Bac Lieu. Eels at these places may weigh 1-2kg. When we travel to Bac Lieu, my friends and I often buy eels to cook our favourite dish. Firstly, we let them bathe in hogwash to clear their bowels and then we process them. It takes a day to cook a delicious eel dish.

Therefore, it's a good idea to enjoy scrumptious grilled eel in a Japanese restaurant because Japanese cooks always have their own secret recipes.

With a serving of grilled Unagi, you will be given special sauce used for you can also marinate the fresh eel marinating the eel before grilling and grill to make its skin shinier. If and also for enjoying the taste of you try Kabayaki (skewered eel), you aromatic roasted eel. The sauce should have it served with sake wine includes Mirin, Kikuman (Japanese made of Koji rice. For those who sauce), Tamarind Sojiu and Sake wine. like rice, Unadon, which is rice with Gourmets of Japanese cuisine will grilled eel and Koikuchi Shoyu sauce, easily recognize Mirin, a is a wonderful choice. favourite condiment of Koikuchi Shoyu sauce is many housewives. Mirin Unagi is a very complex to make. is sweet sake wine made of must-eat dish Steamed soya beans and fermented malt, rice and which people crushed, fried wheat are glutinous rice with sugar. are willing mixed and fermented It helps to wipe out the to spend with salt and water over fishy smell of fish, shrimp whole days several years. and eel and make the dish queuing for.

In addition to Unagi and slightly sweeter.

Particularly, Kabayaki Unagi(grilled You can steam the eel on ushi-no-hi eel with sauce), diners can for a while to remove the days enjoy other dishes such as fat when marinating or Unagi Yanagawa (sauteed eel), Unagi Sushi (eel Sushi), Unagi Sakura Mochi (steamed glutinous rice with eel and cherry blossoms) and Unagi Soba Isobe Age (crispy fried eel rolled in soba noodles).

Cool down and escape from the tiredness of scorching summer days with Unagi Kabayaki, which is recommended by gourmands of Japanese food.

Pearl Harbor Heart-breaking memories

As the 50th and most recent state, joining the United States on August 21, 1959, the Hawaiian archipelago is a long chain of islands with an area of nearly 17,000km2 and a population of over 1.5 million people. Hawaii is the largest island (over 10,000km2), while Oahu, with an area of 1500km2, about 140 miles northwest of Hawaii, is the most important island of the archipelago.

On the southern seashore of Oahu island, Honolulu city, with a population of over 350,000 people, is the state’s capital. 55% of people in the city are of Asian origin.

into the island, separated into many bays and narrow passages, where an islet called Ford Island stands.

This provides the natural pier that created an ideal situation for Pearl Harbor, protecting the fleet from outside attacks. The defences in the harbor were built to the highest standards, using a special steel net system to protect the fleet from torpedoes and submarines. In addition to Pearl Harbor, the fleet also owned another base, Lahaina harbor on Maui island, located between Oahu and Hawaii.

On December 7, 1941, the base was attacked by Imperial Japanese Navy airplanes and midget submarines.

This was a terrible shock because the Japanese had not officially declared war against the USA before suddenly attacking Pearl Harbor while the two countries were negotiating.

The counterpoint , to Hawaii s love story Pearl Harbor, the main base of the United States Pacific Fleet since 1940, is situated on the southern seashore of Oahu, 6 miles to the west of Honolulu. A deep bay flows

If Hawaii, a paradise for tourists, is a summer love song, then Pearl Harbor, a famous World War II historical site, is the minor chord in the eternal natural melody of this place. The bus takes me from Waikiki, the center of Honolulu city, Oahu island, to sad memories from American history in just over an hour.

After the Battle of Pearl Harbor, Japanese naval admiral Yamamoto, leader of the Japanese navy in the attack, realized Japan would have to cope with the consequences. This Japanese victory was an important turning-point in World War II. As a consequence of the attack, US president Roosevelt declared war on Japan at 12:30 on December 8.

F

oreign military experts believed that lack of vigilance and preparation led to the American disaster at Pearl Harbor. Japan had been considering the attack for years and planning every detail for the previous 11 months in order to create a strategically significant victory.

Pearl Harbor is also the title of a movie about the attack, directed by Michael Bay and released in 2001. The movie is a love story rather than a historical account of the attack, although some events are shown correctly. Some of the scenes on the ship were filmed on USS Lexington in Corpus Christi, Texas.

At the Oscars in 2001, the movie was nominated for four awards and it won the award for Best Sound Editing.

Visitors take a boat to the Memorial to see the list of US naval soldiers who laid down their lives for their country during the battle.

When the harbor fills with green 74 years after that horrible event, Pearl Harbor now operates normally. Warships and aircraft carriers still enter the harbor. It was recognized as a historical site on January 29, 1964 and has been attracting more visitors from all over the world each year. Although tourists are not allowed to go into working areas to view the aircraft carriers, they can learn more about the history of the landmark by visiting its historical sites and memorials.

Among those sites, a mustsee place is the USS Arizona Memorial. The destruction of the battleship USS Arizona and the losses suffered by the US Navy pushed America into World War II. Today, the USS Arizona Memorial, managed by the National Park Management Center, attracts a large number of visitors.

112

TRAVELLIVE

Although the Memorial is free to the public, you still need a ticket. Tickets are available free from 7:00a.m with a maximum of 2000 tickets per day. Tours for guests are held from 7:45 - 15:00 every day.

A

tour of the USS Arizona Memorial lasts 75 minutes, including a 23-minute English-subtitled documentary film about the battle, shown on a big screen.

Then, visitors take a boat to the Memorial to see the list of US naval soldiers who laid down their lives for their country during the battle. Their names are carved on a huge marble tombstone. Guests can also take photos of the stained and rusty turret of the sunken carrier. If you look carefully, you can see drops of petroleum leaking out of the ship and bubbling up to the surface.

The tour guide explains that half a century later, seamen in Pearl Harbor still perform the ceremony of raising and lowering their national flag at the USS Arizona Memorial.

Visitors can also go to the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park. This Pearl Harbor Avenger submarine was built on December 7, 1942 and sank 44 enemy ships during its 9 patrols. Visitors can also view other submarines in Bowfin Park and the Waterfront Memorial, which commemorates 52 US and over 3,500 allied submarines sunk during their missions in World War II. If you would like to learn about the operation of a huge carrier, you should go on board USS Missouri. With a weight of 58,000 tons and length of almost 900 feet, USS Missouri was launched on January 29, 1944 and operated until the

end of World War II. The ship is like a miniature military city, it takes visitors at least two hours to explore every corner of the ship, a tour which lets them touch the enormous cannons and see the soldiers’ living space.

The final destination is the Pacific Air Museum on Ford island, which opened in 1999. This is a must-see location for those who are interested in airplanes. The museum displays a variety of Japanese military battleships and airplanes, 1,764 pound bombs, aerial torpedoes nearly 7m long, the telephone equipment used to pass secret codes during the attack, and many important documents.

If you are not afraid of looking at weapons or scenes of death, follow the river bank to see images and diagrams of the attack at Pearl Harbor. This site is also free.

Nowadays, the Hawaiian archipelago is popular with international tourists, who come here not only to relax but also to discover more about American history.

Seen on a satellite map, the way to Pearl Harbor is a straight road to the horizon. The background of blue sky and green sea makes it feel like peace has returned to this land.

FURTHER INFORMATION ü A “No bags” policy is applied in Pearl Harbor. For security reasons, wallets, handbags, cases or any types of bags that could hide an object may not be brought to Pearl Harbor or the Information Center. These belongings must be left at the entrance of the national park, for a fee of USD3. Tourists are allowed to bring cameras. The USS Arizona Memorial is always crowded with visitors, especially in summer, on nice days and on weekends. You are advised to come early to get free tickets at the Pearl Harbor tourist center. Official information about Pearl Harbor can be seen at www.pearlharborhistoricsites. org. ü Buses to Pearl Harbor include No. 20 and 42 at USD2.5 per trip. ü You can stop on the way to visit Chinatown with its many local specialties and Vietnamese stores. ü Food in Hawaii is very diverse and expensive. Visitors should try Hawaiian Pizza and sandwiches with pineapple, which are very delicious.

The high-pitched roar of a Ferrari echoes through the air as flashes from paparazzi cameras burst like disco strobe lights. Fireworks light the sky above fans screaming at the sight of their favorite star walking down the red carpet. Although it sounds like a scene from an “A-list” film festival like Cannes or Venice, we are talking about the Busan International Film Festival, the second biggest Asian film festival. And this time, Travellive and KTO would like to introduce you Busan, where the festival takes place.

More than 40 feature movies are filmed in Busan each year, which makes it the “Hollywood of Korea”. However, the city has much more to offer than just movies. Many past festival-goes have discovered that Busan is a must-go destination of any travelers and even that “Busan is the part of San Francisco left in Asia”.

Situated on the most southeastern portion of the Korean peninsula, Busan is Korea's second largest city and the number 1 trading port connecting the country with Asia, Europe, and North America. This geopolitically situated harbor city sits adjacent to the Korean Straits and Japan, bringing about an interchange of trade and tourism. This intercultural current has made Busan into the

international metropolis it is today. Busan has hosted such international events as the 2002 14th Asian Games, important matches of World Cup 2002, and since 1995 has annually hosted the Pusan International Film Festival. Additionally, the Bexco Exhibition and Convention Center in Busan brings in people from all over the world for international conventions and exhibits.

At first glance, Busan may look like most other big cities in Korea - a sea of cookie-cutter concrete and glass apartment towers frosted with 24/7 neon lights. Nevertheless, the distinct essence of this vibrant port city is revealved right after we pull back the covers on the famed festival and forget all about its sharp cold walls.

Sighting in Busan can typically be classified into two groups: seashore and interior land sighting. Seashore sightseeing includes such sights as the beach areas, islands, and Hae Ahn Park while interior land sightseeing includes downtown Busan, Dongnae Shrine, Busan World Cup Stadium, Gamcheon culture village, Huinnyeoul, Lotte Cinema Art Film Theater, Lotte Town - Gwangbok Branch, Haedong Yonggungsa temple, Oryukdo Islands Skywalk, Bosu-dong Book Alley and Bexco Exhibition and Convention Center.

Surely, Busan's most charming tourist point is its beautiful sea vistas.

The southeastern beach areas have amazing views of must-see fantastically shaped rocks and islands. The famous beaches of Haeundae, Gwangalli, and Songjeong are enjoyed by many tourists. Boating and jet skies are just among a few of the water recreation activities that visitors can take advantage of. The natural beauties of Busan can also be taken in by riding the cruise boats in the harbor.

Known as the “summer capital” of Korea, Busan boasts six beaches ranging from the friendly fun-andsun tourist haven of Haeundae, to the more mature, sultry, night time vibe of Gwangalli Beach or to Songjeong Beach - a relatively quiet, romantic get away just outside the city.

In the summer, Haeundae becomes another beachside Mecca of Asia since during the peak season, every inch of sand becomes a valuable strip of territory. Thousands of visitors come to immese themselves in blue ocean, even if you look out into the ocean, you’re more likely to see people under bright sunlight than actual seawater.

Local restaurants serves their guests with the best and most qualified food along with other services such as tents, beach towels and umbrellas. At night, fireworks lighting the sky in just few minites can become memorable moments of any visitors Possibly No. 1 on the must-see in Busan list is the Jagalchi Fish Market, Korea’s largest and most frequented

fish market. The area has been used as a fish market since 1889 and seemingly offers every kinds of fish you want. Walk south through the market and you’ll find a wharf where many of the boats back their sites after long itineraries. Get to the wharf early enough and you can see how fish barrels from large to small ones are transferred from boats to market. In the early morning hours, you also have a chance to watch fish auctions, which are run a little like livestock auctions in the West.

A few blocks away from the docks is Gukje International Market. There, as seagulls fly overhead, burly, paleskinned Russian sailors from icy northern ports like Vladivostok or Kamchatsky, who surely sport tattoos of anchors or buxom blonde beauties, go on the hunt for cheap black leather jackets, electronics, and “relaxing times” as well. Also in the market are sun-kissed Southeast Asian sailors from places like Saigon or Manila, competing with locals for bargains on ginseng and trendy fashions while Japanese students snatching up cell phone charms, notebooks, and other pretties emblazoned with the smiling faces of Korean pop stars.

Although completely safe, Gukje Market feels uncannily like the set of a mafia movie where two separate clans fight for territory and the right to run the port. It would seem natural to hear a director yell, “Cut” and you can get out of the movie to continue walking

Further information:

through the maze of stalls.

But if seafood isn’t your priority, from Jalgachi or Gukje market, take a subway train to Nampo-dong, you”ll find the Busan Tower at Yongdusan Park, a near 120m. high tower atop a 700m. elevation hill. The result is a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. In the walking area near a lighthouse and an observatory, you can find a amusement park and a dense forest with over 200 varieties of tree, where originally was an archery ground for the 29th king of the ancient Silla kingdom. Because Taejongdae is one of the few areas in Busan not accessible by subway, visitors can take bus or walk along to enjoy the beauty of the port.

How to Get There ü Busan is the second largest city in Korea, finding means of public transporation isn’t a problem. The high speed rail has two stops in Busan - the Gupo Station in the north of the city, and Busan Station, found in the south of the city. Here visitors will also find the Beetle and Kobe hydrofoil ferries to Fukuoka, Japan. Additionally, Busan is conneted with other cities and foreign countries by the Gimhae International Airport, found on the outskirts of the city.

Accommodations in Busan ü There are many different types of accommodations in Busan from super deluxe hotels and traditional Korean hanok houses to homestays and camping grounds.

Tourists can choose the type of accommodations based on their respective plans and budget.

Foods in Busan ü Food lovers considered Busan as the heaven of seafood since they can find many dishes flavored by fresh seafood, even dishes coming from all over the world are also changed to perfectly combine with the taste of seafood which is extremely fresh.

This festival shows off its character as it stretches along the small valleys in the quarters up to the larger roads of the town. I couldn’t take my eyes off the vintage dresses which I’d only previously experienced in books, newspapers and films, the ancient culture, the illustrated houses which look like those from the Middle Ages...

Furthermore, the inhabitants are so hospitable that they are willing to spare their time to take some photos with you, tell you about local history or guide you to create your own handicraft.

Here, they bring the works of medieval art such as furs, crafts, clothes, cuisine and old musical instruments. You also have a chance to explore how to cast an ancient coin, how to sew and measure a suit, how ceramic vases are created with historical methods and even the chance to watch the troubadours’ performances.

Adults are not the only ones who will

The end-of-June festival recalling medieval history in Salon-de-Provence Town in the South of France is one of the most fantastic and attractive festivals for visitors. As you enjoy the festival, you will be massively impressed by the animated atmosphere among the handicraftsmen, dealers, and costumed performers who appear in stories of the Middle Ages.

enjoy the medieval atmosphere, children can participate in activities and games such as nine horsemen and mimic battle using wooden swords.

Evening is when most of the performances occur, with characters ranging from the king and aristocrats to the common people. I passionately admire all the stunning costumes worn by the aristocratic class and then watch a variety of shows including dramatic sword fights of knights and fire-breathing performances contributed by the local streets artists, all of which contribute to a more dramatic and eventful atmosphere in the darkness. The music, clothes and attractive performances encourage visitors to aspire to visit the Middle Ages of the Europe again.

Besides the medieval festival held every June, Salon-de-Provence Town reserves several other amazing experiences for you during the summertime. You can walk slowly through narrow valleys to view all the ancient houses built of wood and stone with unique architectural designs, enjoy colourful flower beds via your balcony or window, or simply choose the corners of some cafe or restaurant to view the whole town at sunset while listening to the church bells ring in the tower and enjoy a French meal.

Here, you can escape from the bustle and hustle of urban life and indulge yourself in the peaceful, tranquil living spaces of this ancient town in the south of France.

When arriving at the festival, visitors can’t take their eyes off the vintage dresses only previously experienced in books, newspapers or films, the ancient culture, the illustrated houses looking like those from the Middle Ages

Further information: ü Event: The Medieval Festival 2015 will take place for three days, from June 25 - 27 at Salon-de-Provence town. The parade starts at 8p.m in the main square. It’s advisable to make a reservation at restaurants and bars in the region in order to have the best seat. ü Transportation: From Vietnam, you can take a direct flight with Vietnam Airlines to Paris for USD1,200/return ticket. You can also book a ticket with Qatar Airways which includes a stopover in Doha for a cheaper price of around USD900. From Paris, you fly to Marseille Provence airport for USD200. It takes about an hour from the airport to Salon-de-Provence town by car. You can hire a car at the airport with some prestigious providers, including Sixt, Hertz and Car Europe.

You just need to submit your passport and visa as a deposit. ü Cuisine: Poirepoch’e aux fleurs is the combination of boiled pears and flowers. Cooks place branches of lavenders in water for about two hours, then add powdered sugar and cook for some minutes until the sugar water is dense. The aromatic taste of flowers is enjoyed by everyone. ü You also should not miss the Bouillabaisse fish soup, a speciality of the town. Fresh fish of Provence are cooked with tomatoes, celery and herbs such as saffron, orange skin, fennel and laurel leaves, Rousille sauce on top andserved with bread.
