Luxury cruising of the heavenly kind HALONG

Halong Bay, in and of itself, is spectacular. The sea, deep and emerald, cradles limestone islands, islets and towers, which loom grey and navy on the horizon. The white limestone is weathered grey and black, the elements having eroded the rock and formed terrain that appears ancient, mysterious and serene. On the islands and islets themselves, subterranean cave systems snake deep into the earth, and azure lakes and rich vegetation support a rich biodiversity, both on the land and in the sea. It's no wonder this breathtaking, beautiful karst landscape billions of years in the making is a UNESCO listed and protected site. Travellers who are eager to explore the heavenly beauty of Halong including caves, islands and fishing villages can now cruise the Bay in style on the newest ship from luxury brand Paradise Group: the Paradise Elegance. The Paradise Elegance is more than 60 metres in length and 30 metres wide, making it one of the largest ships cruising Halong Bay today. Each of the 31 cabins on the steel boat boasts private balconies, walk-in closets, rain showers and floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The ship itself features an array of upscale amenities, including a dining room and a piano bar, spa with four treatment areas, and a sheltered sundeck equipped with a circular bar. And Paradise Elegance is the only boat cruising Halong Bay that offers full a la carte menu for dinner, and a daily classy live band.

EVERYONE'S IRIS GARDEN

e are currently living in a bustling modern society in constant pursuit of the perfect material and spiritual value. So what core values are we exactly seeking? Previously, material wealth was easy to calculated through tangible elements, such as access to food, shelter, clothing, and transportation. But in the modern era, we look beyond these basic needs. We look for things that are subtle, spiritual, and artistic. Let's take our homes as an example. Are they simply places in which we seek shelter? While we obviously want to live somewhere that fills that basic need, we also want a cozy, homely place to return to every day. We seek out more design-centric homes surrounded by green public areas for leisure and family activities, with community and commercial hubs within walking distance for maximum convenience. We want a personal paradise filled with light, life, beauty, and the ones we love. This is why many modern architectural styles resemble a living environment full of trees and plants that are nurtured with

almost as much care as a human child. And similar to the fact that every couple's children return to care for them in old age, these plants reward their owners with shade and sweet fragrances. This perfect combination of material and spiritual values gradually form our psychology, helping us preserve our traditional values in the midst of the accelerated rate of modernization.

each Iris Home unit combines different colors and trends, embellished by beautiful irises. At the same time, the flexible layout can be easily customized to meet the preferences and personalities of all people living here. These elements blend into a harmonious symphony of values that we embrace, incorporate and inherit at this homely haven called Iris Homes.

Other crucial life values include knowledge, health, time, and social relationships. We hope to find all of these values starting from the core that is our families, who are in combination with our living environment, keep us grounded in our personal values. These also form the core of Iris Homes, the semi detached estates in Gamuda Gardens, Hoang Mai, Hanoi.

Situated in Gamuda Gardens Township, Iris Homes is a residential precint within Gamuda City project, a thoughtfully planned development that harmoniously brings together all the key elements that matter - how the project components are designed and arranged to open up the neighborhood, how the right amenities and facilities are incorporated to cater to the community and how all these elements connect people.

Taking its name from the colorful iris flower, Iris Homes symbolizes many different personalities that makes up each family as well as represents the ups and downs of life. Nevertheless, however difficult life may get, human beings, similar to the strong irises, are resilient; we continue to grow, prosper and foster happiness. Applying this philosophy to Iris Homes' architectural style,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When all the right elements come together, the project takes on a great personality. So, when people move in and live there, they get a feel for the place and want to be a part of it. At Gamuda City, it is about creating a self-sustained lifestyle project centered on the community,â&#x20AC;? says Chow Chee Fan, General Director of Gamuda Land Vietnam.

a Sen Spa is one rare spa in Ho Chi Minh City that values and promotes traditional Vietnamese body care techniques and products. All skincare, hair care and body care products here are mainly natural and herbal plants, freshly concocted or brewed on the spot, based on traditional recipes, used by Vietnamese mothers and grandmothers in the old time. Key services offered include hair care, body care, massages and facial care. Rooting for natural-made use and experience, with hair care, the "Love your hair" package includes Vietnamese traditional herbal hair wash, conditioner; rinse and hair mask. All are made fresh every session, from organic ingredients such as hibiscus; Gleditsia fruit; lemon; pomelo skin; lemongrass; and rosemary. For tired muscles, one should try 90 minutes body massages with herbal poultices and home-made ginger wine, which effectively helps to reduce inflammations; beat muscle soreness; and loosening up knots. For those who want ultimate relaxation, "La Sen's bliss" is the perfect indulgence. This massage is performed by two therapists simultaneously. The massage movements are especially designed to imitate waves of oceans; which are so continuously soothing and mesmerizing that the receiver would enter into a meditative stillness. And that in turns will bring a holistic physical and mental relaxation. Passionate therapists who will guide you through the session are experienced and well-trained. Through out treatments, therapists will give you unique relaxing experience and positive energy.

HUNGRY FOR HUNGARIAN GOULASH Goulash is a hearty stew originally from Hungary usually containing lean beef, potatoes and smoked paprika. Goulash is a popular dish in many European countries besides Hungary, including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Germany and the Netherlands.

here are many variations of goulash. The traditional recipe from the heart of Hungary often includes beef, onions, paprika, pepper, tomatoes, green bell peppers, potatoes and sometimes noodles. At first glance, goulash resembles Vietnamese stew, however it boasts a wide range of ingredients and is much hotter than Vietnamese stews. Depending on how much paprika is added, it can be one of the hottest dishes in the world.

Goulash is cooked with cubed and seasoned beef, veal, pork or lamb. Traditionally, goulash gains the best flavor when it is cooked in a fir pot. In Hungary the dish is often served for dinner. When evening sets in, the cook of the family starts a fire and heats oil in a bogrâ&#x2C6;?cs. Then they add the onion and fry it for about five minutes until it becomes dark and aromatic. They add paprika and meat and stir it well, mixing it in with the seasoning. Then they add water and small cubed potatoes to thicken the soup. The pot is covered and left to simmer for 30 minutes. Finally, the cook adds large pieces of potatoes and carrots and leaves the stew to cook until the meat is tender and aromatic. The flavor of goulash can be enhanced by adding spices such as bay leaf and basil. When the soup thickens, the cook lowers the heat and adds white wine or vinegar to enhance the taste. Goulash's indispensable ingredient is powdered paprika. The paprika used in goulash is distinct and different from powdered pepper in other places. The flavor of the spice can taste anywhere from mild to extremely hot and can range in color from scarlet to dark brown. Brown paprika has been known to make its consumers "breath fire." Hungarians often sprinkle paprika over their dishes, making them impressively spicy. Paprika is also used to season meat before cooking. Food cooked with paprika and oil is especially tasty. Nothing beats sitting with family as the sun goes down and enjoying goulash with black bread, grilled meat, mustard and pickled cucumber. Dinner can last from sunset until 9 or 10 pm. The best time to enjoy goulash in Hungary is the end of spring. Goulash can be served with csipetke (Hungarian pinched noodles), potatoes or bread. A meal is perfected by pairing goulash with a glass of Hungarian apricot wine.

A MOUNTAINOUS province topped by imposing stone plateaus, Ha Giang stays cool, even in summer. Early in the morning, Ha Giang is still cloaked in a thick layer of mist, making a hot bowl of pho (noodles) or a plate of banh cuon (steamed rice pancake rolls) a wonderful beginning to a new day. Dong Van is famous for steamed rice pancake rolls with egg or with broth, and in Meo Vac you can enjoy pho made from banh cuon. This dish is regarded as one of "the best Vietnamese foods" by Ngoc Tran, author of "40 Delicious Vietnamese Dishes as Listed by CNN."

A WARM BREAKFAST IN THE COLD PLATEAU OF HA GIANG In May, Ha Giang is in the midst of its "flooding season." The area is beautiful and charming at this time, full of winding terraced fields welcoming water from the mountain peaks. People are also starting to prepare for the new planting season. Visitors to Ha Giang will find themselves intermingled with the bustling atmosphere of farmers working in the fields, and will have the opportunity to enjoy specialties specific to the stone plateau.

Visitors to Ha Giang especially first time visitors should order a bowl of sour pho in the morning and observe how the cooking smoke resembles the region's layer of mountain mist. It is a relaxing and contemplative experience.

THE RESTAURANTS serving these delicacies are small, sparsely furnished houses on roadsides or simple kitchens set deep in alleys. Steamed rice pancake rolls with egg are made by pouring a mixture of rice starch, tapioca starch and cold water into pan; spreading the mixture around the pan to make it thin; adding egg yolk and egg white; and then covering the pan until the cake is well done. Soft-boiled egg yolk and soft, silky steamed rice pancake rolls are especially popular. Banh cuon is rich and flavorful. If you do not like egg, you can eat banh cuon stuffed with pork and mushroom. The people of Ha Giang use broth instead of fish sauce to make dipping sauce. Banh cuon is often served with spring onion, coriander, some slices of pork pies, and pepper and chili. Although banh cuon in Ha Giang sounds similar to that in other places, it is a specialty of this province. Banh cuon in Ha Giang often costs around VND10,000. Sour pho is also a Ha Giang specialty, often eaten on summer mornings. The people of Ha Giang cut banh cuon into small, long pieces and use them as noodles in sour pho. A bowl of sour pho is rich with fried pork, roast duck, peanuts, Chinese sausage, greens, spring onion, papaya, garlic and chili. The dish is topped with a sauce made from a mixture of vinegar, sugar, tapioca and spices. Visitors to Ha Giang - especially first time visitors - should order a bowl of sour pho in the morning and observe how the cooking smoke resembles the region's layer of mountain mist.

Legoland Legoland Malaysia, located in Nusajnaya, Johor Bahru, is the first Lego Park in Asia. It opened in September 2012 and now offers 40 games, roller coasters, shows and activities for the whole family. The park is decorated with huge Lego structures designed and built by artists. The artists have constructed several of Asia's grandest sites, including the Great Wall, Angkor Wat and the Taj Mahal, using tens of millions of Lego blocks. Previously, you had to fly to the USA, UK or Germany to explore this special type of park, but now there is one as close as Malaysia. At Legoland you will have the chance to assemble your own Lego car and enter it in races. You can also see models of dinosaurs, or enter ancient Egypt at Pharaoh's World at the Land of Adventure. Star Wars fans will be delighted by the park's 2,000 Star Wars themed models.

ickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White, and Peter Pan have been a significant part of many childhoods across many generations. A child's trip to Disneyland is a journey to paradise, and an adult's trip to Disneyland is a journey back to childhood. Located in Urayasu, Chiba, East Tokyo, Disneyland Tokyo is a branch of the Disney franchise that includes Disneyland in California and Magic Kingdom in Florida (USA). The park is divided into seven themed areas: World Bazaar, Tomorrowland, Toontown,

Fantasyland, Critter Country, Westernland and Adventureland. Every morning there is a parade of popular cartoon characters and each evening there is a two hour light show. The DisneySea park, inspired by ocean myths, sets the park apart from its competitors and attracts the fourth largest number of park visitors in the world. Located at the park entrance is the Mediterranean Harbour, which resembles Italy's Venice Harbour with romantic channels, the magnificent MiraCosta Hotel, and delicate gondola boats. In

the middle of the park sits the Mysterious Island, inspired by Jules Verne's fiction. Here you can take part in a journey to the center of the earth using the most advanced scientific vehicles. Other mustsee destinations include Mermaid Lagoon, the Arabian Coast and Port Discovery. The best time to visit Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea is between May and June when the weather is ideal and there are not too many visitors. Weekends are often busy - you may have to queue for several hours. Each day at the park will cost at least 10,000yen, including food, drink and souvenirs.

If you enjoy camping in tents among nature but also appreciate the comfort of resort-style services, glamping is an ideal summer selection for you.

TRAVELLIVE

Camping

is often affectionately aligned with a lack of comfort. The outdoors might be swarming with mosquitoes, or you may have to jump up and escape your tent at midnight because rainwater is seeping in. A new trend is catching on, however, one that offers outdoor enthusiasts an upgrade on rest and recreation. Glamping is a relatively new term combining glamour and camping. In a tent, yurt, airstream, pod, igloo, hut, villa, cabin, cube, teepee or tree-house, glamping is a way to experience the great outdoors without sacrificing safety and luxury. Glamping allows you to interact with nature and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city to relax. Families and friends can come together under a wide open sky.

Modern comforts and privacy It is a true luxury to spend the night in a grand, furnished wooden tent with a private swimming pool and a view of the sunset over the United Arab Emirates's immense desert, or to survey the grasslands and hear wild animals outside your tent at the Masai Mara Natural Reserve in Kenya. Warwick Castle, a famous glamping site in England, takes visitors back to the past and offers opportunities to learn fencing and archery and live like royalty in tents designed to resemble the quarters of Middle Age aristocracy. http://magzter.com/Travellive

TRAVELLIVE

Glamping allows you to interact with nature and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city to relax. Families and friends can come together under a wide open sky.

Though glamping does not have one set of standards, many glamping locations share similar accommodations, including luxurious cabins, tree-houses, igloos or tents decorated both inside and outside. Amenities at glamping destinations far exceed anything recreational campers experience. Glamping also incorporates modern technology, allowing tourists to feel like at home even though they are at the seaside or in a secluded forest. Privacy is a top priority in glamping. Tents are often isolated, giving you a private space to enjoy your company and the natural environment. Many glamping locations also offer entertainment options such as horse riding, fishing, diving, mountaineering, kayaking and archery. You also can enjoy BBQ, sip champagne and listen to music under the stars.

Where to go glamping in Vietnam One of the finest glamping destinations in Vietnam is CoCo Beach Camp in Lagi, Binh Thuan Province, 160km from Ho Chi Minh City. The camp offers an unforgettable vacation experience - glamping on the beach in Boho, Gypsy and Rustic style tents, eating delicious food and drinks, and falling asleep to the murmur of waves. The tents at Coco Beach are equipped with portable air conditioners. Each tent has a capacity of five to 15, making them suitable for couples, families and groups of friends. Lu Glamping is another glamping site, located 33km from Phan Thiet, near the seaside of Ke Ga, Binh Thuan Province. Lu Glamping provides various types of accommodations, including tents, containers and cocoon rooms. In addition, Lu Glamping

offers activities such as diving and viewing corals, jetskiing, and UTV rentals. If you want to experience a nomadic lifestyle in Mongolianstyle tents, come to the Tanyoli Adventurous Sports Tourist Area, located on a beautiful coastal road in Ninh Thuan Province, about 345km from Ho Chi Minh City and 120km from Nha Trang. Here you can experience mountaineering and rent sand vehicles and Utilities Task Vehicles (UTV). You can practice archery, conquer the resort's yellow sand hill, go kayaking, go grass sliding and swim on Ninh Thuan's beautiful beaches. Glamping is a perfect choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Stay on the beach, in the grasslands or in the forests and enjoy services focused on complete comfort. Where do you want to experience glamping this summer? TRAVELLIVE

One beautiful morning, I sat for hours sipping coffee on a quiet street corner. I was enjoying the break from the hustle and bustle of my life, but I realized that I had been so busy recently that I had barely spent any time with my daughter. She was growing up quickly - her childhood was disappearing. I had the sudden urge to drop everything and take a long family trip - my daughter's first journey around the country.

DADDY, WHERE ARE WE GOING?

Like all fathers and mothers with small children, we were worrying about Oc long before our departure date! We did not know whether she would be able to handle such a long trip. And what would we do if she couldn't eat the new foods, or if she got sick? Our questions were endless. However, we took inspiration from the television program "Daddy, where are we going?" which presents father and child teams with numerous challenges. We decided to leave behind all of our anxieties and prepare for departure.

n the morning of departure, my wife and I woke up early to check our luggage one final time. Oc still slept soundly on the bed. When it was time to leave, Thao gently scooped Oc into her arms and carried her to the taxi that waited outside. It was dark and cold. Oc was awake by the time we pulled into the parking lot at Noi Bai Airport, but was still yawning. She pulled her own suitcase to the check-in counter.

Quy Nhon welcomed us with the cool and pleasant atmosphere of a seaside city. In Quy Nhon we stayed in a homestay near the beach, and often woke up early to go on beachside walks. Oc loved seeing small crabs run across the sand. We had a good time in Quy Nhon. The local people were friendly and the accommodation costs were quite reasonable. We often ate noodles with fish or jellyfish for breakfast; these dishes cost around VND20,000 25,000. After breakfast we liked to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the open space and greenery of the area. A cup of coffee cost VND12,000 - 17,000. One of the highlights in Quy Nhon is Eo Gio. My family loved visiting Eo Gio and hearing the wind whispering through the cave walls and mountains, harmonizing with the waves crashing on the shore. Even the road to reach Eo Gio was stunning. The bridge offers a panoramic view of Thi Nai Lagoon and peaceful Quy Nhon City. White sand dunes speckled with trees line the street. Eo Gio is beautiful with its rigid rock cliffs stretching to the sea. The place seemed alive. The mountains cradled the boat-studded sea while the water leapt and danced. Waves crashed onto the shore, singing a chaotic love song to the birds twirling above them. The splendid landscapes enchanted my little girl. "Sea! Sea!", Oc exclaimed over and over. Ponagar Cham Towers is unique architecture symbol of Champa culture

The streets were deserted and quiet in the evenings. Quy Nhon's rhythm of life was certainly much slower and more leisurely than in Hanoi.

Nha Trang welcomed us with busy and animated streets. Nha Trang is a bustling tourist city home to a large number of foreigners, especially Russian and Chinese expats. Nha Trang has beautiful white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. Its waves are ideal for surfing and diving. And of course, Nha Trang's seaside location provides a great seafood menu. Remember to choose restaurants far from tourist attractions if you want to find authentic dishes for reasonable prices. We spent a long day relaxing on the beach. Oc loved the sea and sand. I helped her fly a phoenixshaped kite.

'"Bye bye Nha Trang, I go to Phu Yen now", Oc chattered as we left Nha Trang. The Tuy Hoa - Phu Yen station was deserted when we arrived a few hours later. As I pulled our suitcases I suddenly remembered the solitary journeys I took through Europe when I was young. I watched Thao and Oc walk slowly, hand-in-hand, and was grateful for my two companions this time around.

Throughout our 60 day journey across the country, Oc got to stay in homestays, hotels and resorts by the sea or on the mountain. Our homestay in July in Phu Yen was one of our favorite and most unforgettable accommodations. The comfortable house and friendly hosts made Oc feel at home. Soon after we arrived, she was running from room to room talking to everybody and playing with new friends. Our hosts led us to the market to buy fish and taught us to cook noodles using their traditional techniques. That was a unique opportunity for my family. We especially enjoyed eating strange yet tasty delicacies for breakfast every morning, including tuna eye and barnacle eggs. During our stay in Phu Yen I rented a motorbike and took the whole family to Bai Xep, a location used in the filming of "Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass". Then we went to Ghenh Da Dia and the Dai Lanh headland, the easternmost point of the country. Oc was beaming with joy and always singing during these days. She influenced my wife and I, and we found ourselves singing "Daddy, where are we going?" together.

After happy days spent in Phu Yen, we left for Phan Rang on a train. We arrived late in the evening. We took a taxi to the My Nghiep handicraft village and stayed in a homestay run by a Cham family. The homestay was located in the center of a fallow field and surrounded by all kinds of animals including frogs, toads, dogs, cats, pigs and chickens. The homestay offered us many different ways to spend our leisure time. Early in the morning we went to the fields and helped tend sheep. In the evening we joined a group of students for a campfire and singing. We also visited Cham towers, went sandboarding at the Nam Cuong sand dunes, visited the Bau Truc ceramic village and picked grapes at the Ba Moi vineyard. We left Phan Rang and headed for Mui Ne beach in Phan Thiet city. We spent some time relaxing at a beautiful resort to regain our strength. After that we went to Sai Gon, one of Vietnam's largest cities and also the business and financial hub of the country. We took Oc to visit the Notre-Dame Cathedral, Independence Palace and the book street. She also enjoyed relaxing in fancy restaurants and coffee shops.

Braised fish, specialty dish in Can Tho

Oc has exciting experiences with basket boat

rom Sai Gon, we traveled about 85 kilometers and took a one-day tour to My Tho - Ben Tre, a green area featuring coconut trees, fruit gardens, rivers and canals. As city dwellers unfamiliar with life on the water, we loved spending a day on a boat. Oc was delighted to see beehives, eat local food and watch pythons and fish fed by bottles. We were all tired after the busy day.

We arrived at Can Tho at nightfall. We had never been to Can Tho, so we all were excited. We took a taxi to our homestay, which was as spacious as a resort. The next morning we were awoken by

singing and laughing. The local people were having a basket race and singing happily outside. They were very open and friendly. The local food was also unique and specific to the area. Over the next days we took Oc to visit fruit gardens so she could eat fruit to her heart's content. This was our first time seeing durian trees with our own eyes. Another day we went to the Cai Rang floating market to have breakfast and drink coffee on a boat, and to buy fresh fruit right off the boats.

We left Can Tho for Nam Can, the southernmost point of the country. Nam Can was very different from Hanoi. There was nothing here except for canals, fish, and boats,

and no sound except the sound of frogs and birds singing. On our second day in Nam Can, we went to the Ca Mau cape. It was a blazing hot day, but this would not prevent us from exploring the furthest reaches of our country. The Ca Mau Headland is the only place in mainland Vietnam where you can watch the sun rise over the Eastern Sea and set over the Western Sea. Every Vietnamese person should try to visit Ca Mau at least once in their life because of its symbolic meaning and staggering beauty. Additionally, if Ca Mau takes advantage of its tourism potentials, it will be able to draw in more tourists. We took Oc to Tu Mau Stork Sanctuary, where she watched

Foreign visitors sailed at Tra Su cajuput forest

storks perch everywhere and fly around. There were also crocodiles at the sanctuary. We spent a day visiting U Minh Ha National Park. We also experienced the beauty of the country's border area at the Trem, Cai Tau and Doc rivers and in the mangrove shades and immense reed fields. Oc was excited about the mischievous monkeys she saw on the way. Oc was deeply influenced by what she saw with her own eyes and felt with her senses. She had many stories to tell when we returned to Hanoi. That's what we wanted to give our daughter through this trip.

We left Ca Mau for the town of Chau Doc. It was dark by the time we arrived.

Chau Doc is the closest large town to the Vietnamese/Cambodian border crossing on the Mekong River. The scorching heat exhausted Thao and Oc, so we changed our plan and stayed in Chau Doc for two more days. We rested and only went out when the sun was no longer burning hot. We visited the Ba temple and Tra Su cajuput forest. The forest's impressive ecological diversity and wild natural beauty has developed Tra Su into a popular tourist destination in Chau Doc - An Giang. Our boat tour zipped us through a living carpet of water lettuce adorned with green roselike petals so densely packed that we had to remind ourselves that we were actually on water. We were all enchanted by the forest's picturesque scenery.

From Chau Doc we left for Ha Tien, and took the Superdong speed ferry to Phu Quoc Phu Quoc is becoming famous for its stunning beaches, untouched natural environment, easy-going and relaxed atmosphere, friendly locals, and fantastic scuba diving and snorkeling. The island offers plenty of memorable experiences, exciting activities and places to visit that will keep you and your family busy and entertained. Unfortunately, it has recently undergone excessive exploitation. Oc spent a few days swimming in the sea and relaxing to build up her strength for the next destinations. Thao was a little concerned that our little girl was getting so tan, but I thought it made her look stronger and sturdier. TRAVELLIVE

We flew to Sai Gon from Phu Quoc, and to Da Lat the next morning.

After we left Buon Me Thuot, we flew to Da Nang and took a taxi to Hoi An.

e were delighted by the area's beautiful landscapes and cool fresh air. Da Lat is an ideal place to relax, rest the soul and interact with nature, earth and sky. We were so fascinated by the hills, pine tree forests, and peaceful, romantic coffee shops that we decided to stay for four days instead of three as we had originally planned. When night falls over Da Lat, the wind brings cold air through the mountains, creating an atmosphere very different than the vibrant daytime. We loved wandering the hills under the bright light of the moon and seeing pine trees stretch as far as our eyes could see. Oc was so excited that she sang "Twinkle twinkle little star" over and over.

Although Thao and I were starting to wear down from the trip, Oc was getting sturdier and quicker. In Hoi An we rented a bike and I drove the three of us to the old town to enjoy sweet porridge, cao lau (noodles) and rice with chicken. Oc liked taking pictures with the colourful lanterns hanging from the shops and floating in the Hoai River.

We arrived in Hue on a rainy afternoon. Ana Mandara Resort provided a tranquil setting that helped us reenergize. On our second day in Hue we visited the city's centuries-old tombs, temples and gardens. We also enjoyed various Hue delicacies, including mussel rice, beo cake, sweet porridge, and Hue beef noodles.

We went from Dalat to Buon Me Thuot by car. Oc picks strawberries in Dalat

Despite the winding road, Oc did not get carsick. Buon Ma Thuot is the capital of Dak Lak Province and also the biggest city in the Central Highlands. There are very few tourist sites here, but the people are friendly and the coffee is delicious. It's worth stopping here, if only to get off the beaten track and see Vietnamese city life that does not revolve around tourism. We took Oc to visit Yok Don National Park so she could ride an elephant. We also visited Don Village and a cacao garden. Harvesting cocoa beans

Oc conqueres Fansipan peak.

Oc with her father visit Phong Nha Cave

Special dish in Quy Nhon

uang Binh is famous for its caves, incredible mountain scenery, and its sprawling beaches, along with its unforgettable hospitality and friendliness. Its central location and wide variety of opportunities for adventure activities has made Quang Binh the newest vacation hotspot.

Though we did not have much time here, we took Oc to visit Phong Nha cave. Phong Nha is considered one of the most magnificent caves in the world for a number of reasons: its underground river, its underground lake, its wide entrance, its beautiful sandbank and reef, and its spectacular stalactites, stalagmites and water grottoes.

We continued our journey north and stopped at the Trang

QuAng BInh - Ninh BInh - Sapa - HA LONG - HANOI

An Landscape Complex in Ninh Binh Province. One of the most entertaining experiences in Trang An is to sit on a boat gliding past the mountains and threading its way through mysterious caves. After a day in Ninh Binh, we came back to Hanoi to prepare for the trip to Sapa.

Conquering Fansipan peak Conquering Fansipan peak, the "roof of Indochina" is now easier than ever. The newly-opened cable car took only 15 minutes to reach the top. Standing at the 3,143 meter Fansipan milestone, we were captivated by the beauty we saw, and overcome with national pride. Oc and I had our photo taken holding the flag of Vietnam. The final destination on our trip was

Ha Long Bay, a beautiful natural wonder in northern Vietnam. The bay is dotted with 1,600 limestone islands and islets and covers an area of over 1,500 square kilometers. UNESCO declared this extraordinary area a World Heritage Site in 1994 and 2000. We spent one day exploring the beautiful grottoes before returning to Hanoi.

The 60 day journey comes to and end. We came back to Hanoi on a sunny day. Although we were at home, the long and impressive journey made us feel like we were still just passing through. Oc had surprised everybody by being such a strong traveler at just two years old. We are already formulating new journeys to take with Oc, promising wonderful new experiences in the future.

They can reach nearly all main destinations on the route from the North to the South.

ITINERARY: Your itinerary should depend on your children. Most people want to see as many new places as possible, but you should prioritize your children. Choose one or two main attractions in each destination and focus on those.

EXPENSES: Cost depends on your conditions. One day including accommodation, food and drink, transport and entrance tickets usually costs around VND 1 million per person.

LUGGAGE: It's wise to bring all your necessities. Do not bring too many things even though you go with your children because after two or three weeks, your luggage may be full of local stuffs when you buy things there. You had better bring two packs, which you can leave at the hotel, and a small bag, which you can contain baby things and a camera when you go out. TRAVELLIVE

Madame Ureerat Ratanaprukse, what is your work for Thai Consulate in HCMC? The Royal Thai Consulate-General in Ho Chi Minh City covers 22 provinces of Vietnam from Thua Thien Hue in central region to Gamau in the south. For bilateral relations, our work is mainly to foster and promote good relations and cooperation between Thailand and those provinces under our jurisdiction, especially in economic, social and cultural aspects as well as people-to-people contact for mutual benefit. For Thai people, the Royal Thai Consulate - General provides consular services as well as supports and protects Thai nationals and their interest in provinces under its jurisdiction. How would you summarize Thai - Viet relationship and its dynamics over the past years? Since my assumption of the position in Ho Chi Minh City late April last year, I have witnessed the sound and strong economic relations between Thailand and Vietnam as reflected in trade and investment in many Provinces under the Consulate General's jurisdiction. Of all the accumulated Thailand's investment in Vietnam, more than 5 billion US Dollars are invested in Ho Chi Minh City and surrounding Provinces. This development reflects nothing else but the confidence

of Thai private sectors in Vietnam's vibrant and promising economy. Our economic relationship forms one of the important pillars of the 2 countries' overall bilateral relations, which last year, we celabrated the 40th Anniversary of Establishing Diplomatic Relations with series of activities, covering seminars on trade and investment as well as cultural events. Last year, we also witnessed several exchange of high-level visits and meetings between the two countries. The Royal Thai Consulate-General in Ho Chi Minh City received approximately more than 70 delegations from Thailand, ranging from governmental agencies, universities, academic institutions as well as business sector. What can you say about cultures, arts and people-to-people diplomacy between the two countries?

always believe that peopleto-people diplomacy is an important foundation for overall bilateral relations of any countries. Our close relations dated back even before we established our official ties in 1976, as clearly reflected in President Ho Chi Minh's stay in Thailand in 19281929 as well as Viet kieu (overseas Vietnamese) communities both in Thailand and Vietnam, who, in my opinion, have always played an important role in promoting and forging understandings as well as cultural relations between our two countries and peoples. In modern days, people-to-people diplomacy comes in form of tourism.

I am happy to say that in 2016, there are more than one million visitors traveling between Thailand and Vietnam.

popular Thai restaurants or indigo dye with local communities. Not only it helps promoting community's economy, but also preserving local wisdoms for the next generation.

Would you like to give us recommendations for local Thai culture exploration in Thailand: what attractions or experiences in Thailand you recommend that a person probably won't find in travel guidebook?

I also wish to encourage tourists to visit other provinces in Thailand. Thailand is not only about Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiangmai or Phuket. I recently had an opportunity to visit Ubonratchathani Province, which offers many distinguished natural attractions, such as Sampan Bok (Canyon of Thailand) and Pa Tam National Park where visitors can see pre-historic cave paintings from 3,000 - 4,000 years ago. In addition, visitors, especially from Vietnam, may enjooy following "Ho Chi Minh's trail" in Thailand, particularly in Provinces of Nakorn Panom and Udornthani.

Thailand has much more to offer beyond skyscrapers, shopping malls and fun night life. I always encourage visitors to go beyond guidebook and discover the authenticity of "Thainess" through communities and first-hand local experiences. Many start-ups business on communitybased tourism and life-style activities have pioneered in this area in recent years, for examples, Local alike and HiveSter whether to have mid-night Tuk Tuk Food Tour, exploring the hidden neighborhoods or Voluntour combining the volunteer program with touring. This coincides with the trend of the new generation who seeks adventure while traveling with purpose to create sustainable impact to the society. Visitors may also wish to visit the Royal Initiative Projects around the country where they can learn more of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej's Sufficiency Economy Philosophy. During his 70-year reign, His Majesty the King tirelessly promoted rural development and helped improve the lives of poor people across Thailand. Now some of these Royal Initiative Projects are open for tourists to see for themselves the accomplishments of the various developments made over the years. This year, Thailand aims to offer "Unique Thai Local Experiences", to travelers visiting the Kingdom. This is community-based tourism where visitors can learn about, for example, local life of Thai farmers, kick-boxing or Muay Thai, Thai cooking at a

I would like to ask something more personal to your experience in Vietnam. What local encounters which you ďŹ nd so interesting here? First of all, it is a very good opportunity for me to be appointed as Consul-General here in vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, which is of course economic center of Vietnam. Vietnamese and Thai in general are known for hospitality and friendly attitude, while at the same time remain vigilant and strong in time of need. What I found interesting in Vietnam is the high-level of determination, tolerance and perseverance of the people towards their country, not only how they fought the wars in the past but also what they will do for unity and prosperous nation in the future. I also admire how Vietnam preserves its culture and traditions by integrating them into people's daily life. Sincerest thanks to Madam Ureerat Ratanaprukse for your time spending on the interview with TRAVELLIVE Magazine. TRAVELLIVE

119

destination

Song Cau lies halfway between Tuy Hoa and Quy Nhon, two new tourist cities along the Central Coast. Song Cau appears to "sleep" amid the shade of wide coconut forests and the murmur of waves. Phu Yen province's second largest town still preserves its pristine beauty.

ong Cau offers access to white sandy shores and a range of beautiful natural sights including Tram, Tu Nham and Om beaches, Hoa Bay, Do Shore and Cu Mong Lagoon and Xuan Dai Bay. The brackish waters of Cu Mong Lagoon and Xuan Dai Bay cover most of eastern Song Cau, providing an abundant supply of seafood such as crab, lobster, grouper and sweet snails. Song Cau was a township of Phu Yen Province until 1945. It contains traces of the Long Binh temporary royal residence, where Nguyen Dynasty kings and mandarins stopped on their way to the South. The Vung Lam seaport

witnessed the first diplomatic event between Vietnam and the United States in 1832, when Edmund Robert and George Thompson docked at the seaport, bringing with them a letter from US President Andrew Jackson. King Minh Mang sent his high-ranking mandarins Nguyen Tri Phuong and Ly Van Phuc to Phu Yen Province to welcome the mission. The visit was intended to establish diplomatic and commercial relations between Vietnam and America, but unfortunately an inaccurate translation created misunderstandings that prevented this from happening. Local fishermen dedicate their lives to the sea, enriching

their culture with a love for the water. The Vinh Xuan Dai festival, held annually from the fourth to the sixth day of the lunar month, contains activities like a dragon boat race, a fishing competition, a netweaving competition, swimming, rowing bottle-shaped baskets, tuong (classic opera), and a ceremony welcoming whales to the area.

FURTHER INFORMATION: - Itinerary: Fly with Vietjet Air from Ho Chi Minh City / Hanoi to Tuy Hoa Airport (in Tuy Hoa) or Phu Cat Airport in Quy Nhon. Then drive 50 km to Song Cau by car. Song Cau is halfway between Tuy Hoa and Quy Nhon. - Natural sights: Xuan Dai Bay is the most famous attraction in Song Cau. In 2011, the bay was recognized as a national beautiful site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Tourists heading for Tuy An from Song Cau can visit O Loan Lagoon, a charming site in Phu Yen. Tourists also have the opportunity to enjoy blood cockles, which are considered the tastiest clams in Vietnam. - Specialties: There are many coconut farms in Song Cau, making it a vacation highlight to try special coconut dishes. These include su se cake, porridge with coconut milk, chicken simmered with coconut milk, steamed glutinous rice with coconut, dry preserved coconut, or fried coconut worms.

Song Cau is an ideal destination for those who want to relax on a quiet, peaceful beach.

"Hello Gaudi!" In the Middle Ages, Barcelona was one of the most prosperous cities in Europe. Many large Gothic-style churches were built during this period, including the Cathedral of Barcelona. The renovation of numerous buildings and districts before the 1992 Summer Olympic Games totally transformed the city. Barcelona is simultaneously the best preserved Medieval quarter in Europe and an exceptional feat of urban planning and design. The late nineteenth century is considered the primary development period of Antoni Gaudi's architectural influence. Gaudi's designs transformed Barcelona into a city like no other destination in the world. The Catalans often say that you can see the stamp of Gaudi whenever you walk along the streets. Gaudi's influence is widespread - Casa Vicens is known for its ceramic decorations, La Pedrera impresses with its unconventional rough-hewn appearance, Casa Batllâ&#x20AC;&#x17E; boasts Art Nouveau quirks, and La Sagrada Familia, a large Roman Catholic church, has come to symbolize the city. Ninety-one years after his death, La Sagrada Familia is still under construction. Inspired by nature, the design of the church integrates Gaudi's personal "crazy" style and embrace of the imagination with the arches and vaulted roofs of traditional Gothic architecture. The city hopes to complete the church in 2026, 140 years after the first day of construction. To take a panorama photo featuring La Sagrada Familia, cross to the park opposite the building - Placa de Gaudi - and find a position on the other side of the lake. If you angle your camera strategically, you may be able to "deceive" viewers into believing the structure is complete.

Get Lost in La Rambla a Rambla is a magnificent, pedestrian-dominated avenue stretching from Catalunya Plaza to the Christopher Columbus Monument in Port Vell. Nearing two kilometers in length, La Rambla is undoubtedly the city's most famous street, boasting an energetic atmosphere imbued with rich history. Numerous shops are accessible from the street, including flower shops, souvenir shops and bars. Boqueria Market, the Liceu Theater and Reial Plaza accompany this spectacular walk.

CITY LIKE NO OTHER DESTINATION IN THE WORLD. of Gaudi whenever you walk along the streets.

Whatever time of day you choose to visit La Rambla, you should drop into Boqueria market to recharge and reenergize. Tourists, residents working nearby and professional chefs from all over the world come to the market to enjoy a meal - perhaps trying the jambon thigh or pickled olives - or simply to experience the animation of the market that has existed since 1217. La Rambla's most interesting aspect is its mystery. From the main street, tourists can walk their way along various winding and intersecting streets to explore the neighboring quarters of El Raval and Barri GďŹ&#x201A;tic. Walk freely and leisurely - no map needed. When I did this, I happened upon a secret garden in the Catalunya Library precinct, near the Boqueria market. This garden will enchant you with its green space and corridors of trees. Rest on the benches and silently observe the local people immersed in reading their books, or close your eyes and enjoy the fragrance of the mandarin trees, or play a round of chess.

Enjoying seafood Barcelona is known as a land of sun, sand and endlessly long beaches. Not surprisingly, the city is also famous for its seafood. I ordered lunch at La Fonda del Olimpic restaurant and went to the seaport by bus to enjoy it. If I had had more time, I would have explored Barceloneta beach and viewed the artwork installed on the beach. La Fonda del Olimpic is a famous restaurant serving the best seafood in the city. The restaurant's long menu and numerous dishes could confuse even the most educated gastronomers. Restaurant favorites include marinara mussels, squid, tagliatelle pasta with salmon, sautäed shrimp, fried shrimp with garlic and traditional paella. Paella is a Spanish dish originating from Valencia. Paella combines all of the area's local ingredients. The dish typically contains seafood, sausage and Patou chicken along with rice. The Catalunya also enjoy

eclectic combinations of seafood and meat, fruit and poultry meat, and smoked jambon with caviar. Colorful paella dishes are even better paired with a glass of red sangria, a cocktail special to Spain. Red sangria includes red wine, syrup (or honey, sugar, or orange juice) and fresh cut fruit (orange, lemon, apple, melon, pineapple, grape, peach, kiwi or mango) and brandywine. Don't let the fruit deceive you - sangria can be potent and contain high amounts of alcohol. You also can order cava, which is produced using the same method as champagne, but with a different variety of grapes. Ninety-five percent of Spanish cava is produced in Catalunya. Cava grapes are grown in PenedÃs. Of course, cava tastes best when enjoyed in its birthplace. As for me, I hope to find a cooking class to learn how to cook paella so I can treat my family and friends in my homeland of Danang, which boasts its own selection of fresh seafood.

ñ Sixty percent of Catalan people want Catalunya to become its own country, and prefer to speak Catalan. Accordingly, if you familiarize yourself with some simple phrases, for example "Bon d›a" (Good morning) and "Adäu" (Good bye), you will receive friendly smiles from the local people. Information channel: ñ Spotted by Locals (www. spottedbylocals.com) is a useful tourist information channel that promises unique experiences thanks to advice from local people. Official tourism information can be found at www.barcelonaturisme.com Cuisine: ñ Tapas is an appetizer or snack made from sausage, jambon, smoked meat and fried seafood. Popular tapas dishes include patatas bravas (potato with spicy ketchup), calamares fritos (fried squid), boquerones (anchovy), chorizo (pork sausage), berenjenas gratinadas (grilled aubergine with cheese) and battered, fried baby squid.

Viewing the sunset in Park Guell

I hope to find a cooking class to learn how to cook paella so I can treat my family and friends in my homeland of Danang, which boasts its own selection of fresh seafood.

hen I saw the film L'Auberge Espagnole, I was deeply impressed by the images of long, colorful, mosaic tile benches lining the sidewalks of Park Guell. During this trip, however, Park Guell gave me an interesting experience even beyond my imagination.

I climbed up Three Crosses Hill in Park Guell with Maria and David, my two local friends. The hill offers the best panoramic view of Barcelona's blue sky and sea and green parks and open spaces. I spent hours enjoying the magnificent view from the summit. La Sagrada Familia Church stands imposingly next to the square-shaped housing blocks of Eixample District. A towering statue of Christopher Columbus stands at the end of La Rambla, pointing to the "New World". As I stood on the hill, I had a strange feeling, as if I myself had just come upon open and unclaimed territory as he thought he had 500 years ago. My desire to visit Park Guell had originated from my time as a student in the Erasmus exchange program. It was a wonderful opportunity to visit my dear friend, Maria Angeles Castillo in her homeland and enjoy a wonderful sunset together in Park Guell. TRAVELLIVE

The idea behind International Kissing Day is that many people have forgotten the simple pleasure associated with kissing for kissing’s sake. Kisses may be used to express sentiments of love, passion, affection, respect, greeting, friendship, and good luck, among many others! This is an opportunity to take a pause and kiss the ones we love.

The Wine Festival (also known as Wine Fight) is held every year in late June in Haro in Northern Spain's La Rioja region. Europeans eagerly anticipate this unique festival each year. It involves wine drinking competitions and a Batalla de Vino (Battle of Wine) where people pour buckets of wine onto each other.
