Dear valueD reaDers, July is when the world is fighting hard to find the champion of World Cup 2018, but for the Thai people, the survivability of the junior football team after being lost for 10 days in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave is a true victory. In Travellive's July issue, there is a journey full of willpower from the couple known as "rolling potatoes" who conquered the bustling roads of Kyrgyzstan by bike. They, and other lonely travelers, are sometimes considered crazy - but they don't ride just to go, they also ride to learn the lesson of capacity and power, even when all energy seems exhausted ... Another highlight of this month is Travellive's realization of an objective: selecting amongst the new hotels and resorts beginning operation between the end of 2017 to early 2018 in order to create the best list according to special criteria and with the purpose of helping readers make the right decision that best suits their interests. Getting through hot July, you may want to leisurely enjoy life "µ la parisienne", or at least, experience amusing moments while enjoying a cup of iced tea each afternoon on the sidewalks of Hanoi. Equally interesting is experiencing one of the 31 newest hotels and resorts updated by Travellive. And Travellive's July issue has enough life rhythm for you! EDITORIAL BOARD

Undeniably this trend is spreading throughout the world and it has significant impact on big urban areas, especially in South East Asia, including Vietnam. The real estate market in Vietnam has been flourishing, however, not from mainstream sources, but rather by a distinctive trend. The owners of luxurious villas have greatly contributed to this market's share. Regardless, the status of each period, of prosperity or decline, the real estate market always sees its owners on top. They do not follow the choices of the masses but stay diverse in their assets. According to Knight Frank, the world's leading real estate consultant company, the impressive growth of super-rich people in Asia could be strengthened by several countries, including Vietnam. It is these super-rich individuals who often have the desire to affirm their class. So, what do the corporations that supply luxury villas and apartments have to offer to this special market?

Kyrgyzstan, the fourth Central Asian country in our cycling journey from Paris to Vietnam, seduced us right away for being so friendly. We have never crossed a border with such ease as we did in Kyrgyzstan. No questioning but with broad smiles and waving hands the border control officers welcomed us and our steel horses.

Children are all naughty and lovely no matter where they are from

Clenching teeth and pushing hard on the pedals, we stubbornly moved forward. We succeeded to reach a home stay, to have a cold beer when the sky finally tore apoart and poured torrents of water down on the earth.

NARROWLY ESCAPING THE HEAVY RAIN

to cross an another river, to move an another mountain...

When we arrived in Kyrgyzstan, the landscape changed 180o. No longer were there arid mountain ranges, nor immense treeless plateaus; but luxurious green from grass and trees, murky red from water rumbling at the foot of the mountain. On the mountainside big yaks with their proud horns lumbered about; euphoric horses, manes whipping romped on the grass in the wind... It's bursting with life here.

And here, as in Turkey, Iran, Uzbekistan and lots of other places, Aigul, the young homestay owner, was surprised to see men washing clothes and even helping her carry the water home from streams. "Kyrgyz men after work just eat and drink wine" she confided, rubbing her two-year-old son's head while he, sparkling eyed, hugged her legs. We hope that our small amount of money will help to improve her daily life.

Much to our surprise, we did not have much time to embrace this new change as we had to cycle onward at full speed. Heavy dark clouds, like a looming threat, followed us across the border.

Like Tajikistan, much of Kyrgyzstan's territory is mountainous and full of pot-holed roads, which sums our journey up in one word "struggle". The daily routine is to bend our back, trying to climb passes to passes under the burning heat near 50oC, with a bent body sweating like a bath. We didn't even have time to think about wiping off our sweat. All we cared about was jamming on the brake and preparing our legs to stop in time, especially when both our bikes and our bodies bounced on the way down the rough roads. Luckily for us, the green and peaceful scenery helped us to forget our exhaustion.

If we didn't reach Sary Tash - the first village 20 km from the frontier - before these clouds ripped the sky asunder and began pouring water, we would have passed an indelible moment. It felt like the everlasting slopes of Tajikistan had drained away all of our strength and the ferocious headwind was going to beat us. However, clenching teeth and pushing hard n the pedals, we stubbornly moved forward. We succeed to reach a home stay, to havea cold beer when the sky finally tore apoart and poured torrents of water down on the earth. Once again, we learnt a lesson about our own capacity, about our willpower: When you think you can't take it anymore, when needed, you are still able to unfold enough strength

Here, the pine forests cover the mountains interspersed with sprawling green meadows stretching across the horizon bringing to mind images of Austria and Switzerland. And it's also here that rosy-cheeked children, smiling from their eyes, ran out of their "yurts" - the symbolic nomadic tent - waving, pulling us back to reality. TRAVELLIVE

Here come the golden blooming sunflowers sway under the sun. And the horses, graceful and brave, gallop on the vast green prairie, their toned muscles throb under their silken brown skin, their hooves thump louder and louder. Perhaps it is because my zodiac sign is the horse; I was always touched by such images, these eloquent demonstrations of the free life we all pursue.

MEET-UP WITH A "CRAZIER" BIKER

n our way to Osh - the second largest city after the capital Bishkek, in southern Kyrgyzstan - we met a South Korean boy riding in the opposite direction with the intention to be the the first Korean to conquer the plateau of Pamir (Tajikistan) on a Brompton folding bike. With the memories of our troubles on Pamir Street fresh in our hearts, we looked at him with rolling eyes, quietly thinking, "What a weird idea! Has he got enough strength? Maybe he will have to push harder on that bike"... Now you see, when people listen to any of your ideas they think you are crazy (as we often heard about our own bike riding plan). It's good to know that there is always someone crazier than you out there...

We always ask the caravan to send greetings and necessary text messages to those pedaling behind us, and sometimes we get news from our friends ahead of us. In the 21st century, this way of communication is still very useful and effective, in part because of the cohesive and friendly community developed by the road bikers. Thanks to this form of communication, once we arrived in

Osh, we went to the Baiana homestay - a place almost exclusively for pedestrians where the backyard has been turned into a garage, the kitchen requisitioned for eaters focused on their bowls of salad, where green vegetables trays and fruit baskets are set out for the weeks ahead. Jalal-Abad, the third largest city, is about two days of biking from Osh. When we arrived, tired from the dangers of the Kyrgyz street thugs, we decided to leave the smooth large road for the smaller bumpier one. As planned, we crossed Kazarman and reached Song-Kul Lake, before stopping at Kara-Koo on the famous Issyk Kul lake. In order to avoid the cars and trucks from nearly hitting us at 20 cm away, we had to create our own "weapon": we attached a long stick behind the bike creating a necessary distance of safety, then we tied a brilliant colored rope with

a small rock at the end. Strangely, it was the little stone that made the drivers less "aggressive" when they passed us. Aside from the drivers, most Kyrgyz people, though not as warm-hearted as the Turks or Uzbeks, are quite hospitable. Even when we chose quiet places to set our tent up, we still received bottles of hot freshly squeezed milk, bread, cheeses and fruits. They were mostly brought by the children; each of them defined by their distinctive characteristics: decayed teeth, sunburns, naughtiness or shyness... but all of them had a similar look with their muddy faces and bright eyes and each were sent by their parents to bring us presents. At times, we asked to pitch our tent in the backyards of families. To our surprise, we would receive sudden refusals: "Why do you want to put the tent in the yard when you can sleep in

Visa

Ø 45 countries qualify for a 60-day travel period to Kyrgyzstan without a visa. More information can be found at www.kgembassy. org/en under the "Consular and Visa Section".

Ø Traveling tents, or homestays: In large cities, you will easily find motels and hotels. Around popular areas like Song Kul Lake or Issyk Kul, there are shuttle services that pick you up and take you to nomadic tents (yurts). You can always set up a tent or sleep at the home of a local.

Ø You can fly to Bishkek with Aeroflot (with a stop in Moscow), Turkish Airlines (with a stop in Istanbul) or China Southern (with two stops, in Guangzhou and Urumqi). BEsT TiME TO VisiT

the house?", or "Why do you refuse to have dinner with us when we have already cooked for you?" Once, when I was standing absentminded, a nearby fruit vendor picked up a big bag full of fruit and handed it to me. Turns out, we had met him a few days earlier and we had to work very hard to convince him to let us pay for the two big watermelons he wanted to gift us. The nomadic hospitality is the highlight of Kyrgyz culture, which always strikes visitors. Although it has been apart from the Soviet Union since 1991, most people here still speak Russian (aside from the Kyrgyz and minority Uzbek languages), so I was able to communicate with them a little. With a vast natural landscape and hospitable foreign traveler policies, Kyrgyzstan is increasingly welcoming to visitors. Unlike us, struggling up a ferocious hill on "iron horses", are the smiling faces of tourists on jeeps, motorcycles or the bikes rumbling downhill. Aside from biking, trekking or horseback riding for a few days are also favorite activities here. Nearly two weeks after leaving Osh, we arrived in Bishkek, the capital, and our last stop in Central Asia. Bishkek is an important "hub" in the cycling community for relaxing, resting and preparing for the next journey. Just over 3 weeks isn't much time but it was enough to create lasting feelings and to fall in love with the country and people of Kyrgyzstan. See you again!

Ø Kyrgyzstan follows a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. The climate is divided into different regions. The high and dry weather of the west, the temperate weather in the northern mountains. The higher you go, the colder the weather becomes. TRaNsPORTaTiON Ø You can rent a jeep to explore Kyrgyzstan or contact a tour operator for a motorbike or downhill bike tour. Public transport and long-distance bus services in Kyrgyzstan are very limited. You should only choose this means if you are a seasoned traveler and not bound by time. Ø If you have a lot of time and want a real life experience, you can buy a donkey and roam all the way through Kyrgyzstan. sHOPPiNG Ø You can easily find many unique items. Shops in Kyrgyzstan are not only full of unique and diverse items, but they also contain products made in Kyrgyzstan. You can find anything from handicrafts made from a variety of plants to distinctive outfits and more. You can find these items at many souvenir shops or in traditional markets.

DEsTiNaTiON Ø Hu Song Kul and Issyk Kul: Apart from natural sightseeing on the roads, two famous rest spots in Kyrgyzstan are Song Kul lake and Issyk Kul lake. These lakes are also the starting point for many long journeys by horse. Ø Ala Archa National Park: If you like trekking, you can go to Ala Archa National Park near Bishkek, or try your hand at Tien Shan on the Chinese border with peaks above 7000 m such as Khan Tengri or Podeba. Ø Sulaiman-Too Sacred Mountain: Located near the city of Osh, this mountain is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is not possible to go to Kyrgyzstan without visiting this sacred mountain. Ø Tash Rabat: A snowcapped mountain with 15th century houses still preserved today. Ø World Nomad Games: If you're lucky, you can experience the World Nomad Games, held every two years in the summer. This year, the competition will take place between September 2 to 8. CUisiNE Ø Kyrgyz food is not that varied but has similarities to other Central Asian countries with manti, salty cheese, or fatty sheep meat. A speciality worth tasting is "kumis", made from fermented horse milk. In our experience, you should not drink "kumis" after it's been out in the hot sun for a few days. TOUR YOU CaN BOOK Ø You can refer to Beetours Vietnam as an authorized dealer for airfares to Kyrgyzstan by international airlines.

THE TREASURE OF

Every time I think about my trip, Morocco always appears in my mind as a bright and colorful painting. Morocco in full color: deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea, yellow orange of the Sahara Desert, grey green of dusted dates, red of the shielings, white as the snow on the Atlas ranges and indigo like a Berber scarf.

A corner of the citadel surrounding the city

Marrakesh is busy and bustling, attractive as a young man full of life, Fez is a mature and seductive man full of hidden wisdom.

UPS & DOWNS OF AN ANCIENT CAPITAL If someone were to ask me where at in Morocco I enjoyed the most, without hesitation I would choose Fez. I have always given more affection to the majestic natural scenery of high mountains, wide seas, long rivers, rarely favoring big cities. But I cannot help falling in love with Fez. This city is so special; fluctuating between the traditional, the seriousness of an ancient capital, its boisterous characters of the souk (market) and its idyllic French styled villas. If Marrakesh is busy and bustling, attractive as a young man full of life, Fez is a mature and seductive man full of hidden wisdom. The once-oldest capital of housing the most dynasties, Fez has witnessed the country's ups and downs over thousands of years. It was not until 1912 that the French-Morocco treaty was signed in Fez, bringing Morocco to the list of French colonies. This treaty also moved the capital to Rabat. Despite the change of capitals, Fez is still the center of art, culture and the spirit of the kingdom. After four days in a bouncy car and struggling on the back of a camel outside the Sahara Desert, I was back to civilization. Through the car window, I felt as if I were travelling back in time through three completely different eras of the city. The first era is the new Dar Dbibegh, built by the French in the colonial period, a harmonious combination between traditional Moroccan and modern European architecture. Then to the Fﾃピ elJedid, the "new" administrative center, beginning in the 13th century under the Marinid dynasty. Finally, I walked into a completely different world: Fﾃピ el-Bali, which covers the medina (fortress city); the oldest town established under the 8th-century

Idrisid dynasty.

STARTING A NEW DAY ON A HIGH TOWER My day in Fez typically began before dawn when I was awakened by the adhan - the Islamic call to prayer. From the highest tower, I could clearly hear the adhan, spreading to every corner of the city in oscillating tones - wavering from high to low. Muslims pray five times a day, every day: dawn, noon, midday, sunset and one hour after sunset. They gather in mosques, Islamic schools or pray in private, always facing the direction of Mecca. In the early morning I walked to Bab Boujloud, the most special gate of Fez, connecting Fﾃピ el-Jedid to the old town of Fﾃピ el-Bali. This place is called "Blue Gate" because of the color of the meticulously decorated bricks, covering both sides of the wall: one face in cobalt blue - the color of Fez, the other in green - the color of Islam. Fez's medina is often referred to as a cryptic labyrinth. It is the largest pedestrian street in the world with a population three times larger than the main island of Venice, Italy. In the medina, motorized vehicles are banned entirely due to the many stairs running up and down the narrow streets, only a few dozen centimeters wide. The walls of Fez encompass invaluable cultural and architectural treasures. In an area of a few square kilometers, there are countless gates, palaces, mosques, Islamic schools, and fountains, among some of the best preserved in the enchanting Arab world, seducing wanderers who love to explore, much like myself.

TRAVELLIVE

Leaving Bab Boujloud, the two main streets lead me deep into the medina, where all the magnificent SpanishIslamic architecture (hispanomoresque) is located. There may not be a place on earth as beautiful as the madrasa (Islamic school) in Fez. Each madrasa is a collection of prayer rooms and dormitories covering the four sides of a large and quiet yard. The walls are decorated with mosaic patterns or sophisticated and elegant calligraphy. Standing in the solitude of the madrasa, the chaotic noise of the market melted away. Fez's heart lies at the center of the medina, where the tomb of Moulay Idris II - the second king of the Idrisid dynasty and founder of the city. Next to the mosque is Al Quaraouiyine, the oldest Islamic university in the world, founded in 859. However, like all other Moroccan tombs and mosques (except Hassan II in Casablanca) Fez does not allow non-Muslims inside. Because of this I could only stand outside, where I admired the fine carvings elaborately decorated on the massive gate and entrance.

LOST IN ALLEYWAYS I left the big attractions to wander between the narrow-crooked alleyways and little squares, where I heard the echoes of weaving looms and the light thud of wood carving from Nejjarine Square or the clink of the blacksmith's hammer from Seffarine Square.

At dawn, the echo of the call to prayer begins from the tallest tower in the city, spreading everywhere

Fez is well known for its local specialties and exquisite handicraft products. Fez's towels are woven by a variety of yarn, from colorful dyed wool to cool silk and cactus yarn. Throughout the city, we couldn't help but be attracted by the shops with traditional pottery in cobalt blue patterns. Plates, large bowls, flower vases are all decorated with specific patterns and hung on the shelf or wall, inviting tourists to take them home. I continued to lose myself in the colorful and appetizing markets. Attarine souk (market) sells henna and spices, Tillis souk sells carpets, Chemaïne square sells dates and nuts, Chrabliyines souk sells babouche - a traditional Moroccan shoe. I could spend the whole day walking around the Old Quarter just to see the sparkling Arabian lights, cherishing the lovely handmade leather bags, or sniffing fresh spices as they drift across the small alleys. Spices are an indispensable element of Moroccan cuisine. Cinnamon, capsicum, chili powder, coriander seeds, ras-elhanoui... waft in the air to tickle your senses. Fez has a long tradition of tanning and the largest tannery is Chouwara, located near Seffarine. Here you can go up to the balcony of the shops surrounding the workshop and watch craftsmen tan leather with a medieval technique. The owner hands each person a sprig of mint to quell the foul odor of the coloring tanks. Afternoon is the best time to get away from the crowded medina and view Fez from above. As Fez is located on the plateau of SaÔss, sandwiched between the Rif and Atlas ranges, there are many beautiful hills with magnificent views. This time of day is also when locals begin to gather pieces of leather that have dried on the sunny and windy hillsides, packing them onto donkeys to be transported to the tanneries. From above, all the commotion of the ancient citadel evaporated. The golden sunshine peacefully shimmered down the minarets (towers).

iTiNERaRY Ø Currently, there is no direct flight from Vietnam to Morocco; transit must be made through a third country, such as France or Qatar to get to the Moroccan city of Casablanca. From Casablanca, you can start your journey in Morocco and travel to Fez by train or bus. Morocco has an excellent public transit system and travelers can easily buy tickets online or directly at the station without any obstacles. Visa Ø 70 countries qualify for a 90-day travel period without a visa in Morocco. Information can be found on the Moroccan Embassy website of your country. BEsT TiME TO VisiT Ø From October to May is the perfect time to visit Morocco. If you intend to go for a desert tour, you should wear warm clothes. FOOD Ø Moroccan cuisine is delicious and diverse. Traditional restaurants often offer tajin, couscous, pastilla or lamb/beef stews. In the souk, there is a great variety of grilled skewers. Morocco is a Muslim country, as such, people here do not eat pork. Ø Breakfast at the inn included a variety of breads, cornmeal pancakes, accompanied by jams, honey, butter, mint tea, and delicious fresh orange juice. Ø Moroccan pastries are also quite delectable (but very sweet). Sometimes they are as small as a thumb but carry a heavy buttery scent when served with a cup of mint tea. TiPs Ø In Fez, you can hire a tour guide for a half day or one full day. They will introduce you to the culture, architecture, customs, and can especially help you to bypass enclosures of thieves and fortune-tellers. The people of Fez do not like to be photographed, but if you are with a guide, they often become more comfortable. Ø In the morning, the guides gather in Bab Boujloud, and each typically has a license card. Tour prices range from 10 - 12USD/ half day for 2 guests. EsTiMaTED COsTs Ø In Morocco, you can easily book accommodations through popular booking websites. The price is quite reasonable, for example, a double room in a 2-star hotel costs about 50 - 60 USD/night, or about 30 USD/night for a double room in a popular motel. Ø Meals in Morocco often cost around 10 - 20 USD/meal in a nice restaurant with pleasant decorations, and it is much cheaper than in the souks. The cost of traveling in Morocco is about 80 - 90 USD/ person/day (excluding airfare). If you prefer to travel like a backpacker, the cost can range between 60 - 70 USD/day.

Crossing the Bolivian-Peruvian border by road, we began our journey of exploring the Inca civilization through the legendary Andean Baroque Route to Machu Pichu, a heritage site packed full of mysteries.

A small street near Plaza De Armat, center square of Cusco

A BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON IN CUSCO tarting from the small city of Puno, we passed through many areas bearing the stamp of the ancient Inca before we arrived in Cusco on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Leaving the boisterous and hectic bus station, we headed straight to the Munaycha Casa hotel in the heart of the old town. This hotel, located on a primary school campus near the central square, was small yet attractive. Crossing through the school yard to reach the hotel door we entered cozy rooms straddling a quiet courtyard; a flower-filled garden, woodpaneled verandas, and a small rooftop dining room overlooked the endearing old city.

After checking-in at the hotel, our group eagerly walked to the square at sunset. We fell in love with Cusco almost immediately at Plaza de Armas square: a spacious plaza with fountains, chairs, and beautiful light poles. The square, surrounded by two-story houses adorned with arched terraces, works in harmony with the Roman Gothic architecture of the high steeped Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin located in the center, creating an elegant stage. Peru is particularly famous for its distinctive cuisine; Peruvian chefs skillfully combine world dishes with local techniques to create uniquely Peruvian restaurants. Nearly all of the top-rated restaurants are located in the Plaza de Armas area, in addition to American franchises such as McDonalds and Starbucks. The area around the square is also filled with various souvenir shops and travel agents.

The Inca rail, equipped with a glass-enclosed carriage, allows passengers to take stunning photos of the mountains while inhaling the fresh Incan air. When I originally planned for this trip I was so fascinated by the legendary Inca Trail that I prepared my luggage for a long trek with hiking shoes, clothing and other specialty items. However, for unexpected reasons, we had only four days in Cusco and the surrounding areas; not nearly enough time to thoroughly enjoy this world heritage site.

LEGENDARY ROUTE ON INCA RAIL The Inca Rail train departed at 5:30 am from Poroy station, about 30 minutes by taxi from our hotel. Sitting in a car with wide windows on the ceiling, we happily enjoyed panoramic views as we cruised through the Inca archaeological sites, snow ranges and glittering rows of trees. Red leaves floated atop the winding river that cut the road in two. Along the two sides of the road were wide plateaus each with llamas grazing on grass; in the

distance, snowy mountains appear as if in a dream, a truly poetic scene. The legendary rail continued to unfold beautiful scenes after each mountain pass much like photos flipping through an album. The Inca Rail, equipped with a glass-enclosed carriage, allows passengers to take stunning photos of the mountains while inhaling the fresh Incan air. The Aguas Calientes train station is located in a nice little town with restaurants, hotels, and souvenir shops full of tourists. In the middle of the town is a small church with a lovely flower garden. Because the town is 1500 m lower than Cusco, the impact of the altitude isn't felt here. There are two ways to get to Machu Picchu from here: some small trekking roads that lead straight to the top of the mountain, or a shuttle bus from a private company that transports tourists up the mountain. Gazing down from our gathering point, the trains in the station

looked like scattered matches, while the winding road along the cliffs reminded me of the mountains in northwestern Vietnam. Our guide is an elderly man, he appears to us as a perfectionistic and is incredibly dedicated to his job. Unlike other guides who talk about the grandeur, techniques or the mysteries of the "Lost City", ours spoke in depth about each architectural detail and its meaning. Pisnou, our guide, is as passionate about Machu Picchu as if it were his native home. He said everyone knows how famous and important Old Mountain (Machu Picchu) is in the treasure of world heritage sites but not everyone recognizes that the "Lost City" was often referred to as Vilcabamba. He discussed the detail of Mother Earth in the concept of the "Three-Window Room" building as well as the ideas behind the "Temple of the Sun", he pointed out the significant aspects in the so-called Stonehenge of Machu Pichu.

Closing my eyes and letting my imagination flow with the wind - I found myself fortunate enough to be immersed in such a wonderful ancient place on a rare beautiful sunny day.... Taking us through the residence of Emperor Pachacuti, this little man guided us through the living room, the bedroom, the toilet and the archaeological area presumed to be the dining room, insisting that it was a small garden. Through each stone door he pointed us to the direction of the rain and sunlight throughout the seasons of the year to showcase the sophistication and intelligence of the ancient Inca. We could hear the pride in his voice when he declared that the ancient Inca Empire was the largest empire in the world, spanning six South American countries, noting that it was even larger than the Roman Empire.

EMOTIONS FOR THE INCA EMPIRE AND MACHU PICCHU

achu Picchu is not as majestic as I had imagined, but the integrity of the site is admirable. We had a chance to tour the area drainage system, the water supply network for the terraced fields flowing from an ever-running stream, the amazing staggered stone walls and the intricate Inca trail system that ran through the entire Inca Empire. Our guide continually repeated that good fortune was upon us. According to him, November through April is the season of heavy rains; to have a beautiful sunny day was quite fortunate, even in the dry season. We followed the footsteps of our guide so passionately that we forgot to take pictures. Our minds were stuck on questions such as "Why do the seven windows of the temple represent the

106

TRAVELLIVE

seven rainbow colors?", "Why do the temple walls of the mountain have so many engravings?" and "Why is this wall compared to the mourning wall of Jerusalem?". Pisnou said Machu Picchu may not be as ancient as other world heritage sites but it is full of many mysteries that have puzzled scientists for many years. Machu Picchu's place in the history of the world is quite unique; it contains a civilization that coincides with the ancient Egyptian period, the relationship it holds with Huayna Picchu, and the many questions it contains concerning ancient intelligence. Each entry ticket to the heritage site allows two visits, so after the guide had left, we returned to the entrance and climbed up the Sun Gate just before the closing hour where we contemplated the far off Inca Bridge and took pictures of the lovely llamas against the backdrop of the ancient Incan ruins. The short time from dawn to dusk brought us many emotions to ponder over. Resting on the stone Incan house with the thatched-roof, we found ourselves talking to an old Australian couple who had to take cardiac medicine to climb here while we watched sunset drop over the rows of food stalls and the far off terraced ﬁelds. Looking at the mountain range, I felt as if I saw a man's face looking at the sky within it. Closing my eyes and letting my imagination flow with the wind - I found myself fortunate enough to be immersed in such a wonderful ancient place on a rare beautiful sunny day...

I am just over 30 and have no need for cardiac medicine. However, I do have a little bit of regret for failing to go trekking on the legendary road, though my trip was compensated by the emotional train ride to this amazing place. The regret of one who knows that time is flying... and one of her most wonderful days of a lifetime is about to come to an end... JOURNEYs Ø Currently there are many airlines operating flights departing from Vietnam to Lima (capital of Peru): All Nippon Airlines (ANA), Qatar Airways, Asiana Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Korean Air, United Airlines, Delta Airlines... If you plan to depart from Hanoi, ANA is a great choice, and if you depart from Saigon, Qatar Airways is an ideal choice. BEsT TiME TO VisiT Ø You should travel to Peru between May and August. The weather is quite cool; the temperature is not too high during the day and not too low at night. Most importantly, you will not be bothered by the rain. TRaNsPORTs Ø You can travel to other destinations in Peru by bus, taxi, rental car or on foot. My recommendation is by bus due to the ease of the bus system here. Moreover, the low cost and convenience make it incredibly easy to reach interesting destinations in Peru. CUisiNE Ø Peruvian cuisine is quite diverse and varied; products such as potatoes and corn are the main ingredients creating delicious, appealing dishes. The coast of Peru is well-known for its seafood, including Ceviche Salad. A few must-try dishes: Pachamanca soup, grilled meat brochette (Anticuchos)... or other famous Peruvian beverages such as Caliente White Rum, Coca Tea, Matä de Coca, Chicha de jora corn beer, fresh juices and Cafe Pasado. ExPERiENCEs NOT TO BE MissED Ø Ancient city: Inca culture center: Machu Picchu, Cusco and the valley between the Sacred desert, Lake Titicaca (lake on the Andes range), Piura, home to the most beautiful beaches in Peru and hometown of "The Old Man and the Sea", the small beautiful city on the Andes- Chachapoyas range, the White City of Arequipa, the Colca Canyon, the Amazon river, the Oxapampa and Huacachina villages, the Presidential Palace of Peru and the Santo Domingo church.

The three times I have spent in Paris have each given me completely different experiences. The first time, I felt strange with the thoughts of a tourist taking in the splendidness of Paris. Then, I became more familiar to the Parisian lifestyle thanks to my native boyfriend during my second year and finally, I felt more confident and fell into the rhythm of life here during my third year, in the role of a daughter-in-law in a French family.

LeT'S eAT! ("Ä TAbLe!")

he media has wasted plenty of ink on French food. But, in my eyes, Parisians in real life are different than those at the 5 star hotels. They are gourmand yet very dainty, taking hours at the cafeteria restaurant across the street. During these moments, they discuss current affairs while sipping wine, puffing cigarettes and enjoying the sun. A typical day in the life of French people starts with breakfast at home, in a cafä or just a sandwich bought in a cafä or a bakery as to not arrive late to work. But the ideal time for me is the moment my mother-in-law makes a flavoured coffee jug then prepares another pot of jasmine or rose tea, followed by a preparation of a set of silver ware with cups and porcelain plates so the whole family can eat bread with jam, butter, or caramel together. A sense of peace that is most impressive. Otherwise, we will go out to breakfast at our favorite Le Bouquet d'Alesia cafä. It's cold outside; inside we are eating hot crispy croissants with chocolate filling, sipping fresh natural orange juice without sugar or ice and watching people passing by. This joy makes me feel extremely comfortable. Paris in May is an ideal time for weather: neither too hot nor too cold. The cool air easily makes people feel hungry. Speaking of lunch, I always recall the stuffed mussels cooked with butter, white wine and parsley, accompanied by crispy bread served at Au Pied de Cochon, which literally means "pig's feet", a rather funny name but it is actually associated with the specialities of the restaurants made from every part of the pig.

For the gloomy Parisian days, I love to ask my husband to have hot Japanese ramen for lunch at Kintaro.

Parisians are gourmand yet very dainty, taking hours at the cafeteria restaurant across the street. During these moments, they discuss current affairs while sipping wine, puffing cigarettes and enjoying the sun.

In addition to low fat ramen noodles with pork, sticks of crab, seaweed and dried bamboo, which both smells good and make me feel excited, my husband's choice are fried rice with shrimp and eggs and especially gyoza (Japanese style dumplings) which are also very delicious.

CURRENCY Ø You should exchange Euros in Vietnam or use an international Visa card. Please check with your issuing bank in Vietnam to find out the charges when paying by card abroad. Visa Ø Visa to France is a Schengen visa that is applied to 26 countries in this area. You can proceed to apply for a visa by visiting the official website of TLSContact - the authorized agency of the French Embassy in Hanoi and the French Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City on the visa application issues at the link: http://fr.tlscontact.com. Please take note that if your trip goes through many European countries, you will choose the location of your longest stay to apply for your visa. US passport holders do not currently need a visa to travel to France or the Schengen area.

After lunch, we often walk to our familiar cafä to rest in the midday heat. Cafä De La Mairie is a favorite address of many Frenchmen, including my husband. From here, we have a view right in front of the SaintSulpice church - the filming location of The Da Vinci Code. Sitting under the shades of Cafä De La Mairie, with a blue sky above, between sips of hot chocolate or iced tea, you can simply gaze around to see the beauty of life. One day, we were delighted to discover Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole, located in a small street nearby the Notre-Dame Cathedral thanks to a dinner invitation of my brother-in-law Thomas. The restaurant dates back to the 16th century and is perfectly preserved as it existed then. The later the night is, the more guests that come to the restaurant. Once dinner is finished, everyone leaves tipsy to walk in the cold wind as the church bell rings out eleven o'clock pm.

INTO THe ART wORLD Speaking of Paris, we cannot forget to mention about the city of art. On my two most recent visits to Paris, I came to to visit Les Deux Plateaux/ Colonnes de Buren (The pillars of Buren) - a contemporary artwork installation which was the origin of many discussions since its inception in 1986. Named after artist Daniel Buren it has 260 black-and-white striped pillars, creating an astonishing contrast.

BEsT TiME TO VisiT PaRis The ideal time to travel to Paris is from April to June or from October to early November when the weather is dry and cool. The period between December and February is not a bad time either. Although the weather is quite cold, you can experience the Christmas celebration when all the streets, parks and shopping centers light up, perhaps even under snow. MUsT-TRY DELiCiOUs DisHEs Ø If possible, you should try as many dishes as possible in Paris as these experiences are worth it. However, there are some traditional French dishes you should not miss such as: Magret de Canard: Made from fattened duck liver. The meat is sweeter, more delicious, and fatter than other types of duck. 

C´te de Boeuf: A roast beef dish served with sea salt, thyme and French fries. There are also restaurants that serve this dish along with pepper sauce, or cheese sauce accompanied with salad and vegetables. 

Mussels are cooked with butter, white wine and parslly, and served with French fries or seafood such as live oysters accompanied with lemon, butter and bread.



TiPs Ø The cafäs and restaurants you should visit when coming to Paris: Le Bouquet d'Alesia cafÈ (75 Boulevard Avenue du Gänäral Leclerc, 14th arrondissement) opposite the Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge church. 

Cafe De La Mairie (8 Place SaintSulpice, 6th arrondissement Paris): the favorite address of many French. 

Au Pied de Cochon located right in the heart of 1st arrondissement Paris (No. 6 Coquilliere Street). It is one of the most delicious and famous Parisian pubs opened since 1947. 

Kintaro (24 Saint-Augustin Street, 2nd arrondissement): Japanese flavors. 

Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole (No. 24 Chanoinesse Street, 4th arrondissement): It dates back to the 16th century (at the time of the Notre Dame Cathedral) and has been preserved until today. 

You can also visit the Pompidou Center, also known as the Museum of Contemporary Art, named after French President George Pompidou. Paintings, artifacts, and videos hang from the ceiling, mounted on the wall, or directly printed onto the walls, these pieces take viewers from surprise to surprise. Along the Pompidou is Place de Stravinsky (1983), where locals and visitors leisurely chat in restaurants, on the aisle in the noise of sprinkling water from a nearby fountain decorated by 16 impressive colorful sculptures inspired by a composition of the late Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. Behind the fountain is a giant wall-painting made by John Hamon, a person that no one knows anything information about him except his messy-hair, portraits wearing glasses sticked next to all of his artworks in Paris and around the world. We visit the Canal Saint Martin where the romantic canal is dotted with turning bridges, stairs, and chestnut trees along

its banks. This place has the best bakery in Paris - Du pain et des idäes. The bold red painted bookshop, Artazart Design Bookstore, is also a must-visit shop in Paris. Established in 2000, Artazar is Europe's No 1 bookstore specializing in design publications, photography, graphics, architecture, fashion, contemporary art and many other creative pictures and products. It would be a shortcoming to talk about art without mentioning Montmartre hill. I had to come back here the 3 times I visited Paris because of the liberal atmosphere, the pride of a place where many artists live and perform. On the way, I purposely visited a grocery store which is a setting in one of my favorite romantic comedies, "Amelie", played by actress Audrey Tautou or attempted to catch a glimpse at Au Lapin Agile Cabaret, where three late acclaimed painters Pablo Picasso, Maurice Utrillo, and Henri de ToulouseLautrec often came. After wandering around, I reached the top of the hill where

unforgettable memories of these two shopping centers decorated in festive colors; they are right out of a fairy tale. French people are well-known for their laid-back style and their spirit of enjoying each moment of life. The first place that left many impressions on me is the Parc de Bagatelle, a great place to go to walk and relax. Not so far from Bagatelle is the Bois de Boulogne - the historical hunting ground of French kings. This place is considered one of the "lungs" of Paris and on beautiful Parisian days, people like to go to the park for sunbathing or lie-down to read. Jardins du Luxembourg attracts visitors with its renowned beauty. This 25-hectare garden was founded in 1612 by the initiative of Queen Marie de Medici, the wife of King Henry IV. Visitors can visit orchards full of apples, honey bee farms and greenhouses with a wide range of orchids and roses. Scattered throughout the park are hundreds of statues honoring famous French people; fountains and exhibitions on the garden railings also promise new discoveries. I believe that a trip to Paris - the City of Light, is more or less enough inspiring us the beauty of life and the passion for world exploration. Paris will always be an ideal place as it contains so many interesting things to discover every day - no matter who you are - an artistic soul, a foodie or a lover of nature.

the Sacrä-Coeur Basilica overlooks beautiful Paris. As the heat of sun goes across one's head, it is time to find a cafä to rest for a while before continuing the discovery journey.

ome to the fashion capital of Paris and you will ﬁnd it hard to resist shopping. The attractiveness of the glazed windows on the street will overwhelm you with their decorations; commercial centers whether they are ancient or modern, are always as beautiful as if in a dream. If you are looking for high end, unique or a different shopping experience, I recommend visiting Galerie VäroDoda for a quiet, old-fashioned style, and do not miss the Forum des Halles with 150 famous brand stores such as Nike, Lego, Superdry, Muji, Fnac, H & M, Zara, Celio, Bershka and 17 restaurants along with the Monoprix supermarket... There are still at least two of Paris's oldest and most famous shopping venues, Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, on Haussman Boulevard, district 9.

To Nordic people, there is nothing more fun than trekking or wandering the woods on a hot summer day. All you need is a good pair of shoes, a nice jacket, sunscreen and some anti-mosquito spray. Each summer, Norwegian forests bustle with hikers. In this season, the sun does not set, but only drifts down the mountains to the west, making it very easy to wander around the forest, even for a cosmopolitan girl like me.

STRAWBERRY PARADISE In addition to trekking, camping on mountain peaks or mountainbiking, summer is wild berry hunting season. European countries in general, Northern Europe in particular, are a paradise for summer berries. Among the berries, the strawberry might be the most familiar of fruits in Vietnam. However, Northern Europe has more to offer than just that! Wild strawberries grow at the forest's edge. Farm-grown strawberries can be harvested extensively in greenhouses, or in tropical climates, whereas wild berries only grow in the wild, especially in the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere. Strawberries are smaller than 1/3 of a girl's pinky, but their smell and taste is so entrancing that you will remember them forever after one try. Strawberries are as sweet as sugar with a slight sour background; their smell is so pungent that you only need to pick one to spread their

aromatic scent into the air. I laughed at the thought that if I had not picked this wild strawberry by the forest's edge, that perhaps my only notion of a strawberry would be of candy made from tons of sugar and chemicals! Blueberries are still quite rare in Vietnam, but recently they have appeared in some supermarkets and import/export fruit shops. However, the variety seen in Vietnam are those selected for breeding and professional cultivation in large farms. These blueberries are quite large, plump and sweet while wild blueberries grown in the forest tell another story. Wild blueberries grow around pine trees; the more sunshine they have, the thicker and more flavourful they are. They grow in low dusty areas, close to mossy swamps and rotten leafy trees - areas that are quite dangerous if you happen slip down. To harvest blueberries, you need a special tool to separate the berries from the small bushes. The young fruits and leaves will pass through the slotted loops of the tray, leaving only

the collected large ripe fruit. When eating blueberries, your hands and lips will turn purple like when eating the Vietnamese sim. Wild blueberries are smaller in size and more sour than they are sweet. Because of this, wild blueberries are often used to make jam, blueberry smoothies or baked breads. One of my favorite summer pastries is the blueberry muffin, baked with freshly picked tiny blueberries from the forest, still fragrant with the scent of pine needles and damp soil. When baked, the blueberries burst in the muffin, mixing with sugar and aromatic vanilla, bringing a delicious taste as sweet fruit jam.

RARE CLOUDBERRY AND RASPBERRY

loudberries are a precious gift that Mother Nature has generously bestowed on the Northern people living in the cold with little sunshine all year long. These little berries are incredibly nutritious: vitamin C levels double that of oranges, they contain more fiber than any other wild berry, are full of carotene, omega 3, vitamins B and E, minerals such as phosphorus, iron, magnesium, calcium, they contain six types of fatty acids... Cloudberries also help to prevent the oxidation of cells, assisting the body in repair and maintaining youth. As cloudberries are rare, they are not easy to find. They only grow in marshes in the Northern Hemisphere, as close to the North Pole as possible. As they grow in swamp-like conditions, it is hard to walk around, especially with mosquitoes buzzing near, their wings beating like a helicopter! Nordic "tools" harvesting cloudberries comprise of rubber boots, waterproof (and antimosquito) jackets, mosquito repellant and countless buckets for the finished product.

Cloudberries grow in large clusters, close to the edge of bogs and marshes, each stem produces only one fruit. Cloudberry season usually begins at the end of June, extending to the end of August, but varies by latitude. The higher the latitude is, the later cloudberry season becomes, though, it is never after summer. Another summer "berry ambassador" is the raspberry. Raspberries are a shrub, often mistaken for mulberry, which is a tree. Raspberries grow wild along forest paths, even in bushes along roads in the city. Like other summer berries,

raspberries are a sun-loving shrub. The fruit ripens red under full sun, interspersing between serrated dark green leaves, swinging in the wind as if inviting someone to pick them. Perhaps among the berries, raspberries are the most accessible for children. Nordic platinum haired babies with clear blue eyes and red lips can easily follow their parents into the forest. When they meet the small bushes, just cresting above their little heads, they cheer as chicks, rushing into the bushes to pick the ripe sweet fruits. Since they become familiar to the forest at a young age,

they know wild berries quite well. My father in law told me that the Nordic children may know of the wild berries and mushrooms in the forest even before they know how to read.

MUSHROOM PICKING PLEASURE Speaking of wild mushrooms, picking them is another favorite hobby of cold country people, which to me personally is a bit ... risky. It is risky because there are a myriad of mushrooms that grow after the late summer-early autumn forest rains, of which only about a dozen can guarantee you still... live... after eating. Mushroom picking is one of the Nordic pleasures in the cold country. Around the beginning of August, when the blazing summer has begun to give way to showers, signaling the coming of fall, is when Norway moves from berry season to mushroom harvesting season. Yellow mushrooms, once picked, should be brushed off with the mushroom-knife to clean dust, do not wash with water as it will remove the mushroom's nutrients and sweetness.

MORE iNFORMaTiON

Wild forest mushrooms, once picked from the earth, should be processed immediately in order to fully enjoy their nutrients and the excellent taste of the Northern wilderness. Place a pan over heat, add a bit of butter, then add the mushrooms and remember not to stir too much so that the water pulls from the mushrooms, then cook down the extracted water to condense the mushroom taste, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve alongside Swedish meatballs, reindeer steak with potatoes and stewed vegetables. Here you have a delicious dinner after a fun day in the forest. In addition to yellow mushrooms, the Norwegian forest also has many other edible mushrooms such as bread mushrooms (shaped like a small loaf of bread), matblekk mushrooms that look look like rainbow termites, black chanterelle, which at ﬁrst glance appears frightening because of its dark color but the taste is deep and sweet, golden trumpet mushroom, tongue mushroom...

Ø Forests in Northern European countries do not have snakes, leeches, poisonous spiders or other dangerous insects, but there are quite a lot of big mosquitoes. Therefore, if you intend to go to the forest, you should bring mosquito repellent and cream to apply on mosquito bites.

are mushroom savvy. You should absolutely not pick mushrooms that you do not know, or are uncertain about their shape or color... During mushroom season, there are usually checkpoints at the edge of the forest to inspect the safety of picked mushrooms. However, unfortunate accidents still happen every year.

Ø Some poisonous berries have very attractive colors and aromas, and even look similar to edible berries. If you do not know it, you should not take a risk to pick it.

Ø Summer is often drizzly in Northern Europe. You should bring a raincoat, a waterproof and windproof jacket, rain boots and dry socks to change into when your shoes get wet.

Ø If you intend to pick mushrooms, you must have great knowledge of the edible and poisonous mushrooms of the forest, or you can take mushroom picking tours with local guides who

Ø Summer temperature in Northern Europe is about 20-25oC, but the temperature in the forest is lower. When choosing jackets, do not choose bright colors such as red,

Only those who are lucky enough to live in the suburbs close to nature, or know someone who often harvests mushrooms, have the opportunity to enjoy these treats. Wild forest mushrooms, once picked from the earth, should be processed immediately in order to fully enjoy their nutrients and the excellent taste of the Northern wilderness. As the saying goes, "playing is also an elaborate art," and even those who have money don't always get the chance to fully enjoy these "delicious autumn pieces"! The summer - autumn season of Northern Europe passes quickly, just after a few months; people say goodbye to the golden sunshine, berries and radiant forest flowers. But sadness does not last for long because with fall comes the endless autumn rain, and if you did not prepare tools to pick the forest mushrooms, you can always sit lazily in the house and gaze out the veranda, leisurely take sips of aromatic coffee and enjoy freshly baked blueberry muffins, fragrantly packed with the whole summer inside.

orange, yellow... These colors can cause wild deer or other large animals to be excited and cause serious injury to people. Ø When picking berries or wild mushrooms in the forest, people often pick just enough to eat, leaving enough for others. You should heed this notion, and avoid picking more than necessary. Ø According to the Norwegian law of Allemannsretten, people have the right to visit, camp and harvest the produce from the forest and other public spaces (sea, lake, river, stream...). You can camp in Norway without any problems. Ø Norway, and other Nordic

countries, have dense forests which are typically not too far from city centers.

BAC SON - A GREEN CARPET THROUGHOUT LANG SON In August, the Bac Son rice fields gradually turn, dying the entire area a deep golden color. This is the most beautiful time of the year to visit Bac Son. In the morning, if you stand on Na Lay peak, you can admire the panoramic valley shrouded in a delicate mist, sheltered by mountains with ripe rice fields and winding rivers.

The special feature of the Bac Son rice fields is that the fields are sown alternately, so that during ripe rice season the fields appear as a colorful patchwork. There are squares of iridescent water, brown earth, rich green and vibrant yellow. Each square lends to a greater work of art like that of a quilt.

SOUTHWESTERN VIETNAM FRUIT HARVEST Southwestern Vietnam is beautiful all year long due to the special characteristics of each season.

This garden of ripe fruits will overwhelm your senses and have your taste-buds tingling.

ENJOYING BALLOONS IN BRISTOL Bristol is located in the southwest of England, about a three-hour drive from London. Bristol is the site of the annual International Balloon Festival. If you find yourself in Bristol during mid-August, you will have the opportunity to admire hundreds of colorful and shapely balloons floating in the sky. In 2017, the balloon festival attracted half a million participants, with 150 balloons from different countries around the world. During this festive season, you can camp at different locations, take part in outdoor activities and watch the glittering sky. Aside from balloons, you can check out the Clifton Suspension Bridge - a symbol of Bristol City - or visit the ancient church of St Mary Redcliffe.

HOKKAIDO IN LAVENDER Unlike cherry blossoms that bloom only for a short time, lavender flowers usually last up to two months. In Hokkaido (Japan), the flowering season begins in July and blossoms continue through August. Lavender is not considered a noble flower nor a rare flower. However, with its fragrant aroma and romantic beauty, purple lavender still captivates visitors.

Ø Food: In addition to traditional barbecue, you can enjoy pies, tea ice cream and cheese. Ø Tip: The flight of the balloons is dependent on weather. So if you want to fully enjoy the holiday season, you should plan a 4-day stay in order to enjoy the festival fully while still having time to explore the city.

Hokkaido in lavender season is a great tourist destination for the "land of the rising sun". In summer, lavender completely covers the hillsides. Looking down from Tokachi mountain will amaze you with its surreal paintinglike scenery. TRAVELLIVE
