2016.
Make a
decision to
visit a new
place and
you will
have begun
writing your
own lifestory.
Getting up as the first rays of sun enter my
room, I can feel that the days of bitter cold
have passed and that days of warmth and
sunshine are upon us. Good weather is a lucky
sign for my upcoming journey with friends.
In this century of technology and high-speed
connections, you can travel around the world
with the click of a mouse. All the data from
the cuisine to the cultural development of the
land, are on your screen immediately upon
typing a few characters into the search box.
But how long will this stay with you? The things
you have just seen, the dreamlands of your
fantasies, all fade away someday.
However, when you finally make a decision
(even when people call it crazy) to dismiss
all your hesitation to visit a new place and
explore a new culture in a different climate
and time, you will have begun writing your
own life-story.
Visit a mysterious cave and simply sit, silently to
contemplate one of nature’s masterpieces. All
the digital images you have seen and articles
you have read about it will be nothing. And
there’s no film that brings you the true feelings
of swimming with colorful fishes in the Indian
Ocean or witnessing a mother penguin’s
tough love as she teaches her children to walk
on ice.
As I’m finishing this piece of writing, the sunlight
has already begun to warm up the street. I’m
going to discuss the next trip with my friend.
And you, our dearest readers, have you got
your own plans? Close your laptop, prepare
your luggage, and get ready for your journey!
We wish you luck and happiness as you
embark on your new journeys.

HANOI
A TASTE OF MOC
CHAU
If you have ever visited Moc
Chau plateau (Son La) and been
mesmerized by its charming beauty,
you'll know that it's hard to forget
the unique flavors of the cuisine
here. Moc Chau Veal, one of these
specialties, is the inspiration of Wink
Restaurant. The secret that makes
the veal dishes here different from
others is the natural sweetness of the
Dutch veal blended with exotic local
spices and greens such as mac khen
extract oil, doi seeds, clausena indica,
honey grass, bo khai, and more.
More than 40 finely prepared dishes
will take you on a journey through
various culinary styles from Asian

BANH NAM
- MODERN
VIETNAMESE
BREAD
The restaurant is named
Banh Nam to honor the five
basic flavors in Vietnamese
culinary culture: sour, spicy,
bitter, salty, and sweet. Most
ingredients for the sandwiches
HCMC
such as the pork bologna
and bacon are homemade.
Moreover, what makes Banh
Nam's patees special are the
traditional spices and herbs
no longer used in industrially
produced patees. Banh Nam's
restaurants are open 24
hours and offers 5 types of
Vietnamese sandwiches, 5
kinds of fast food, 5 desserts,
and an array of drinks. Diners
can enjoy their favorites at any
time. For practical purposes,
all restaurants are small takeaway
ones.

The world famous CLIPPER
international yacht race arrived in the
port of Da Nang on the 17 February for
the first time in its 20 years history.
Sailing & Racing around the World for
eleven months, the twelve identical
70-foot yachts completed a four-week
journey from Australia to Vietnam.
The next stop is Qingdao China before
heading eastwards to Seattle and
beyond.
Founder and sailing legend Sir Robin
Knox-Johnston compares this marathon
event to climbing Mount Everest. It’s
the pinnacle of sailing adventures and
the longest yacht race in the World.
The crews are mostly novices and
the Skippers are the only professional
sailors onboard.
Da Nang People’s Committee Vice
Chairman Mr Dang Viet Dung said:
“After ten days staying in Da Nang City,
crew members had the opportunity
to visit many beautiful places, enjoy
traditional Vietnamese cuisine, meet
the local people and they took part in
various cultural and sporting activities”.
Da Nang - Vietnam Skipper Wendy
Tuck spoke to the city officials and
spectators on behalf of all Skippers and
crews;
She said: “Thank you to all the people
of Da Nang who visited the port and
welcomed us all so warmly. Your
hospitality has been overwhelming and
made us feel very special. It has been
an incredible stopover and one of the
friendliest we have ever experienced,
so thanks to all, from the bottom of our
hearts”.
During the ten-day stopover, an evening
“Parade of Sail” was witnessed by
thousands of Da Nang residents who
lined the foreshores of the Han River.
"Lights, cameras, action” and fireworks
were ablaze as the yachts cruised
towards the iconic Dragon Bridge,
each vessel with a trio of traditional
Vietnamese drummers, beating rhythms
to the on-looking crowds.
The coastline of Vietnam boasts many
spectacular islands, bays and beaches.
The international sailing and Super
Yacht community in SE Asia are eager
to include Vietnam in their stopover
options. From Halong Bay to Danang,
Nha Trang, Vung Tau, Phu Quoc and
more, the doors are now slowing
opening to this multi-million dollar
commercial and recreational industry.
The substantial domestic and
international media coverage generated
by sporting events such as the Clipper
Round The World Race not only bodes
well for marine and special interest
tourism, but also domestic and inbound
tourism in general.
On Saturday 27 February the fleet set
sail for the next leg of their marathon
adventure. They slipped lines at 1100hrs
and motor-sailed down to the race start
line (1615hrs), a kilometer offshore
from the Vinpearl Resort & Villas, one
of Vietnams most iconic brands.
Such was the outstanding success of the
Da Nang Vietnam stopover, organizers
are hopeful that a repeat performance
will take place in two years time, when
the next race starts again from London
in 2017-2018.

ACQUIRES
MINT CUPCAKE
CREATIONS
Mint Cupcake Creations (Mint)
is a popular brand favored by
young people and also one of
few bakeries that focuses on
one product alone - cupcakes.
Mint introduced and created its
own brand name by changing the
common notion that cupcakes are
a "safe" choice. Mint has created
a new demand for cupcakes by
introducing unique flavors like
apple, peppermint, and even spicy
chili, alongside the classics such
as chocolate, vanilla and matcha.
The acquisition of Mint Cupcake
Creations by KAfe Group has
been exciting and inspirational
for both companies. While
the existing flavors will remain
unchanged, more exciting flavors
will be introduced with interesting
combinations of KAfe Group's
ingredients. Mint Cupcake
Creations will open more outlets
in Hanoi and plans to expand to
Saigon by the end of the year.

THE LADY HAU
CRUISE
Originally designed as a barge
to transport rice in the Mekong
Delta, Lady Hau has been
transformed into a resort river
cruise. Mid last year, Lady Hau
was fully refurbished and is
able to serve up to 40 guests.
Now she makes her journey
between Saigon Newport and
Bach Dang wharf. The cruise
promises to bring you a unique
dining experience with a wide
selection of canapä and drinks
including cocktails, wine, and beer.
If you fancy a dinner under the
moonlight on Saigon River, why
not try local food harmoniously
combined with Western cuisine
and prepared by professional
chefs?

The Jungle Book is the epic adventure of Mowgli, a man-cub who's been raised by a family of wolves
but finds that he is no longer welcome in the jungle as the fearsome tiger, ShereKhan who bears an
intense hatred for man, promises to destroy anything he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only
home he's ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by the panther,
Bagheera, and Baloo, the bear. Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don't exactly have
his best interests at heart, including Kaa, a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub,
and the smooth-talking King Louie, who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to man's dominion
over the world, the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.

FORGET ALL YOUR WEARINESS
AND ENJOY A POOL PARTY!
Like many expats living in Ho Chi Minh City,
I often go out to make friends, chill out, and
relax after a long day at work. The Saigon Soul
Pool Party, an effervescent open space poolside
party held on weekends in the heart of the city
is my new destination of choice.
After coming here once, I could not stop
coming again and again. Located in the New
World Hotel at the core of Distr. 1, hundreds
of people gather in the daytime from 10 to
10 every Saturday to enjoy a good selection
of food, cold drinks, and release stress by
swimming in the cool large pool as a cool
escape from the scorching Saigon heat.
Originally serving as a weekend getaway
exclusively for expats, Saigon Soul is hands
down the favorite place for expats and locals
alike. Holding up to 900 guests, Saigon Soul
has become one of the biggest attractions that
Saigon has to offer.
Every party for Saigon Soul has up to 10 DJs
playing back-to-back noncommercial sets with
one day of hip-hop every month. With good
vibes, fun people, and a stellar performance
lineup, what more could music fans want?
Drinks start at a mere VND50,000 but Saigon
Soul can also accommodate the most refined
palates with wine and champagne. The weekly
specials offer a mouth-watering selection of
both Vietnamese and Western cuisine in fusion
style so there is no difficulty finding something

that fits your tastes for both breakfast and
lunch.
With the ultimate poolside entertainment,
Saigon Soul is defined by its great party
atmosphere. The hotel has an expertly designed
layout with terraces, and passing from one area
to the next is like entering a whole new world.
While there, you might hear the 5 VIP cabanas
calling for you like sirens to kick back and relax
on their soft voluptuous cushions. The cabanas
offer extravagant luxury with 25 sun beds, 30
bean bag chairs, and lots of tables to sit at and
chat with your new friends. With the ambiance
of great tunes, refreshing drinks, and a cozy feel
everyone is sure to have a great time.
The party was founded by Dallas and Susan,
two Canadians who have been living in Vietnam
for nearly 3 years. They are excellent hosts
and give special attention to every guest no
matter how packed the party gets. The people
at Soul love the idea of bringing lots of different
people together, and the party is highly rated
by TripAdviser. Drawing inspiration from the
great success of Saigon Soul, there will soon
be similarly themed Manila Soul, KL Soul, and
Singapore Soul parties.
And you, if you want to find your oasis to wipe
out all your fatigue, refill your energy and get
inspired to make new friends, Saigon Soul Pool
Party is ready for you every Saturday.
Come out for sunshine! See you poolside!

Chocolate cakes
aren't simply a
delicious dessert
but the final
achievements of
talented chefs
who have spent
dozens of years of
perfecting the craft
of baking with
chocolate.

Artists who specialize in
chocolate confection are
called chocolatiers, and
the men and women in
this field spend years honing their
crafts for good reasons. Making
good chocolate isn't simple. Firstly,
the cocoa beans must be carefully
selected to ferment evenly. Chocolate
made from Vietnamese cocoa beans
boasts signature flavors particular to
each region. Cocoa beans from the
land of fruits and honey near Tien
River have a strong, bitter flavor while
those harvested in Ba Ria - Vung
Tau sustain a long aftertaste which
develops and intensifies as you let
it sit in your mouth. Like coffee, the
roasting process plays a significant role
in ensuring the best quality cocoa. At
this stage, the cocoa beans are crispy,
aromatic, and easily crushed. High
quality cocoa is slightly bitter with a
buttery taste. After that, the beans are
mashed into concentrated liquid called
chocolate liquor. The finely mashed
cocoa is melted down before being
fermented, mixed, and separated from
the cocoa butter. After cooling and
shaping, the chocolate bars are finally
ready to be packaged.
After the chocolatiers finish their work,
the chocolate bars are transported to
pastry chefs, or p©tissier, to compose
the "melodies of taste", offering each
diner a different impression of the
same chocolate from a hot and crispy
chocolate cover to an oleaginous
chocolate cream and mouth watering
TRAVELLIVE
chocolate mousse. Fans of chocolate
never miss any chance to enjoy
chocolate truffles and lava chocolate,
two particularly special chocolate
creations. Melt dark chocolate and
blend with heavy cream at a 2:1 ratio
(2 chocolate:1
cream) and
you will get
truffles. If
you mix them
together 1:1 or 1:2 you will get chocolate
ganache - the succulent filling of lava
chocolate (fondant au chocolate).
Lava chocolate attracts countless
diners across generations with its
smooth chocolate coat and bitter
hot dark chocolate ganache which is
ready to flow out like volcanic lava at
any moment. It's easy to understand
why this cake is called "Death by
Chocolate". Lava chocolate was first
created thanks to a "mistake" by
Chef Georges Vongerichten when he
An interesting feature of the cake
is that it tastes better when the
filling is still melting
accidentally took off his chocolate cake
before it was complete. An interesting
feature of the cake is that it tastes better
when the filling is still melting. Later
on, Michelin Michel Bras came up with
a new interpretation of lava chocolate
by freezing the
chocolate ganache
and stuffing it into
the crust before
baking. That way
the ganache filling melts as the crust
is still being baked. With this new
innovation, only the crust is baked
and you don't need to worry that the
interior of the cake will be baked all the
way through like a brownie.
You can try chocolate made from local cocoa
at Marou Chocolate's outlets *Website:

Spend one day at Le Bleu and you'll see it's not necessary to go any further to find tranquility
since happiness radiates from each corner of the house, from the soft bed and the sunny balcony
to the fresh colored leaves and flowers. Curl up on a couch with a good book, sip your hot tea,
listen some melodies, and your day just passes peacefully as all the stressful and mundane facts
of life slip away.
There are occasional workshops held by Le Bleu and if you are lucky enough, you will have a
chance to be an "apprentice" and learn skills such as how to make perfume or write calligraphy.
Le Bleu's guests come from around the world, and once they visit, they want to come back again
and again. Some Hanoi locals also enjoy spending their days here, just to "losing" their life in the
intimate yet stylish space of Le Bleu.
Unlike a hotel or a coffee shop, Le Bleu Homestay is a great getaway for you to "escape" from
the bustling city life. Stay here, live slowly, and savor each moment as though drinking tea with
your book in hand as you contemplate the gentle beams of sunlight shining through the window
slits is the most serious part of your day.

Hue is one of the few “festival cities” in Vietnam. The
city is a great place for traditional Vietnamese festivals
as well as an array of tourist activities that juxtapose
eastern and western culture. Unlike other cities in
Vietnam, which have altered considerably with the ups
and downs of history, Hue has preserved the perennial
beauty of its architectural and cultural treasures. This
heritage city also boasts 127km of coastline with
beautiful beaches - which promises to help develop
the city’s beach tourism. The spectacular Lang Co
Bay, Bach Ma National Park, and Tam Giang Lagoon
- the largest lagoon system in Vietnam - are must-visit
destinations.
After the complex of Hue monuments was recognized
by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site
in 1993, Thua Thien - Hue Province has put forth
extensive effort to conserve and promote the value of
monuments while attracting more visitors and focusing
on sustainable development.

THE CITADEL OF HUE
Constructed under Emperors Gia Long and Minh Mang on the North
bank of Perfume River overlooking the south, Kinh Thanh Hue (Hue
Citadel) uniquely combines western architecture with an oriental
rampart structure. After almost 2 centuries, the Citadel’s 140
structures remain almost exactly like the originals.
To visit the inner relics, you need to circle about to cross though the
three layers of ramparts: Kinh Thanh (Hue Capital Citadel), Hoang
Thanh (Royal Citadel) and Tu Cam Thanh (Forbidden Citadel). The
Royal Citadel consists of more than100 fascinating architectural
works divided into numerous subsections. The Ngo Mon Gate and
the Thai Hoa Palace were used for various grand ceremonies. Trieu
Mieu, Thai Mieu, Hung Mieu, The Mieu, and Phung Tien temples
are dedicated to the shrines of kings from the Nguyen Dynasty.
The portion with the internal affairs office includes a storehouse for
precious items and a workshop for manufacturing various useful
articles. The Kham Van Palace and Co Ha Garden are where princes
used to study and relax. Passing through the Royal Citadel, visitors
can enter Tu Cam Thanh (the Forbidden Citadel) which is just past
Thai Hoa Palace. Including about 50 structures of stunning beauty,
this was the place for kings and their family.
The Hue Museum of Royal Antiques is a must-visit place that
no visitor travelling to Hue should skip. It is a gallery of antiques
displaying hundreds of rare antiques from the Nguyen Dynasty such
as the commissioned Porcelain used in daily royal meals and parties,
silverware, Bronze Artifacts, Phap Lam enamel, wooden furniture,
and royal ornamentation of silver and gold, and painted glass. More
than a museum, the Hue Museum of Royal Antiques helps visitors
imagine what royal life was like during the Nguyen Dynasty.

LISTEN TO THE TRADITIONAL MUSIC
OF HUE AND RELEASE FLOWER
GARLANDS INTO THE PERFUME RIVER
Your trip could not be complete without listening to the
classical music of Hue. Instrumentalists wear traditional
costumes (ao the and khan xep) and play period
instruments including the dan nhi (Vietnamese two-chord
fiddle), and the dan nguyet (Vietnamese two-chord guitar)
while singers wear the traditional ao dai and play the song
loan (two-carrier palanquin) and senh tien (castanets with
stringed coins). When the city is lighted up, what could be
better than sitting on a boat while sipping a glass of wine
and releasing some flower garlands and floating lanterns
into the water?
Further information: For listening Hue music on the
Perfume River, tickets start at VND100,000/guest. There are
2 performances each night: 19:30-20:30 and 20:30-22:00.
You can also enjoy Hue traditional music at 19:30 every
Tuesday and Friday at the Hue Museum.

CHe HUe (sweet soUP)
There are 36 types of Hue royal sweet
soup, each with its own distinct flavor.
They were considered indispensable
desserts for king in the Nguyen Dynasty.
Nowadays, sweet soup is a popular street
food and can be found on every corner.
The folk sweet soup of today originated
from the royal ones except that some
of the stages of preparation have been
skipped. You can try an array of sweet
soup made from corn, green beans, red
beans, Indian taro, and more.
Further information: You can taste
sweet soup at stalls along Tran Phu, Phan
Boi Chau, Truong Dinh Street, or visit Che
Hem restaurant on Hung Vuong Street
(near the crossroad Hung Vuong - Nguyen

HIGH-Class RoYAL CUISINE
It is no exaggeration to say that Hue’s royal cuisine
has reached the level of high art. The dishes
originally meant for kings and royalty are prepared
according to strict rules and rituals at every stage,
from cooking to the way in which it’s served. The
dishes are served in wooden gold trimmed, red
lacquer boxes.
The culinary expert, Ho Thi Hoang Anh, a
descendant of Ho Van Ta - the last royal chef of the
Nguyen Dynasty - explains that “there were at
least 50 people worked together to prepare a meal
for the King. The team had to follow strict rules and
rituals to insure that all dishes were safe. They even
had to work with royal doctors to make sure that
nutritious ingredients were chosen that did not class
with eachother.”
Further information: You can try royal cuisine at Y
Thao Restaurant (3 Thach Hanm Thuan Hoa) or Tinh
Gia Vien Restaurant (7/28 Le Thanh Ton, Hue)

Travellers of Vang Vien are advised to be careful for three reasons:
a lot of parties with the large amounts of alcoholic beverages,
underwater rocks, and the range of outdoor activities.
VANG VIENG, LAOS -
PRISTINE AND WILDZ
Not boasting world
heritage sites
and huge tourist
attractions like Luang
Prabang or Vientiane,
Vang Vieng instead charms visitors
with its majestic mountains and
pristine beauty. Unlike other sites,
the hiking trails leading up into the
mountains here haven’t been spoiled
by excessive tourism.
The path leading to the peak of
Pha Ngeun is a typical example.
4km down the road from Mayline
Guesthouse, you will see the wooden
board guiding you to a village of
the H’mong people. Park at the toll
station and begin your journey. For
those who love trekking, it’s only
a 25 minute hike to the top of Pha
Ngeun. A great panoramic view of the
neighboring mountains is the reward
for your toil.
Travellers of Vang Vien are advised
to be careful for three reasons: a lot
of parties with the large amounts of
alcoholic beverages, underwater rocks,
and the range of outdoor activities.
That said, there’s something for every
thrill seeker whether you are into
cycling, trekking, kayaking, climbing,
or enjoying the zipline, hot air
ballooning, or - the most special one
- tubing.
This riverside town in Central Laos
may be one of the few places in
Southeast Asia where you can go
tubing. In 1999, a farm owner had an
idea for how volunteers could relax on
the river, floating on rubber innertubes.
Tubing soon became one the most
popular tourist activities in the area and
no visitor to Vang Vieng should miss
out. Tubing is simply lying on a donut
shaped buoy as you are carried down a
river. Get on a tuk-tuk to the assembly
point, and you can float along the river
with a rental float (costing only 65,000
kip) and a waterproof bag (15,000 kip).
The best time to go tubing is from
noon til 4pm. The Tubing center might
not be open earlier and it is unsafe to
float at night.
The town is small enough to walk
across. If you want to visit villages of
the Laos, Kmou, and Hmong people
or explore the mountains and hidden
caves, you can rent a bicycle (20,000
kip/day) or motorbike (40,000-
60,000 kip/12 hours). And if you are
planning to spend a day here, then
Tham Poukham - Blue Lagoon is
the best and safest choice. Just 7km
away from the town center is a lake,
a zipline for those who’re not afraid
of heights, and some hidden tracks
inside Tham Poukham Cave.

THE BIGGEST CORAL REEF
IN THE WORLD
Off the northern coast of
Queensland, spanning an area
of nearly 344,400km 2 (roughly
the size of Vietnam), the Great
Barrier Reef is the biggest live
coral reef in the world, and was recognized by
UNESCO as a natural heritage site in 1981.
This giant colorful reef is hundreds of years
old, and is an ideal place for your holiday.
You can explore the Great Barrier Reef from
above in a hot air balloon or helicopter. You
will be enchanted by what you can see beneath,
from Daintree rainforest and the Great Barrier
Reef to the islands and vast ocean. Cruise ship
is the most popular means of transportation
for those who wish to travel around the Great
Barrier Reef and contemplate the beautiful

Australian coasline. These cruise ships often
anchor by night along beaches such as Whitehaven,
Cid Harbor, and Butterfly Bay as they make their
stops. Another way to take in the beauty of the reefs
is by joining one of the tours in a glass-bottom boat.
You can find these at central beaches such as Cairns,
Port Douglas, Townsville, Bundaberg, Rockhampton,
Mackay, as well as Mission, and Airlie.
For discovering marine life, a diving tour is the
best. From Cairns, you can go diving around
Agincourt reefs. Capricorn and Bunker reefs are near
Gladstone. The Great Barrier Reef is home to more
than 360 species of coral, 1,500 species of fish, 4,000
types of mollusk, and 200 species of birds. If you are
lucky, you may catch a glimpse of some interesting
marine animals like seaturtles, seahorses, and
dolphins while exploring the colorful coral slits near
Lady Elliot and Lady Musgrave Islands. Enjoy your
holiday at the place where summer never ends!

NOTES:
ü Patagonia is the most expensive
place in Argentina. In big cities, a
high-class hotel room costs about
USD180 for a couple. In provinces,
you can stay at a good hotel for
USD90/room/couple and USD20-50
for extra services.
TRANQUILITY AT THE END OF
THE WORLD
Known as “the end of the world”, Patagonia is
1,000km away from the South Pole. Interestingly,
this land is shared between two countries, Chile and
Argentina.
There are so many marvelous things to experience
on your journey, such as enjoying lunch in the Anes
along a massive stone mountain or relaxing by the
icebergs on Perito Moreno - a gem of Glacier National
Park. It’s also a little known fact that Patagonia is one
of the best places on earth for whale watching.
Moreover, when you reach “the end of the world”,
don’t forget to visit Ushuaia, the southernmost
city in the world, or stop by the marble cave on the
chrystal clear Carrera Lake on the border of Chile
and Argentina. Another location, Torres del Paine
National Park with its strange scenery has been
described as a gate leading into another world. You
can walk, sail, ride horses, and go camping to explore
all the diverse beauty that Torres del Paine has to
offer. Interested in Patagonia cuisine? You can
visit Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina to taste
traditional dishes such as pasta, grilled lamb, and
corn cakes.

NOTE:
Position: En cave, the center area of Phong Nha- Ke
Bang National Park, Quang Binh
ü Tours: Like Son Doong, to visit En Cave, you are
required to join tours with professional guides and a
porter team. Oxalis operates 2-3 tours to En Cave per
week. Maximum 16 participants per tour. Prices start at
VND6,500,000 per person. Contact: 052 3677 678, website
www.oxalis.com.vn
ü Time: Go during the dry season from December to July
when you can cross streams more easily and avoid leeches.
ü LUGGAGE: You need to bring your own personal items
and necessities (clothes, sunglasses, towel, sunscreen, insect
repellent, hat, water bottle, shoes, and sandals) which will be
carried by the porter team. Personal protective equipment
(helmet, gloves, caving headlight, dry bags, tents) and meals are
provided by the tour company.
ü Outfits: Choose shoes and clothes which are elastic,
quick-drying, and drain easily as you need to go through many
streams. Wear long socks, long pants, and a long sleeved shirt
to avoid leeches and plants that make you itch.
ü
Note: Extra water will come in handy when dealing with
the heat

the world’s third largest cave, behind
Son Doong and Deer Cave (Malaysia).
It’s one of Vietnam’s many must see
wonders. The starting point is Ba Giang
slope. It takes about two hours to climb
the mountain, following switchbacks up
the 60 degree slopes. After that, you will
reach Rao Thuong Valley, and the clear
stream will lead you to Doong village
where the Bru - Van Kieu people live.
After two hours of slogging though
streams under the hot sun, you will be
thoroughly rewarded with a sweeping
panoramic view of the surrounding area
with green mountains and centuries old
trees emerging from the dense forests.
The main entrance of En Cave appears
at the end of the valley. The way the sun
lights up the campsite at the mouth of
the cave is a remarkable sight.
From a high position in the cave, you
can contemplate the white sand around
the little jade pond. Along the stretch
of sand your tents are already set up by
porters. There are two ponds inside the
cave, one is cold and the other is warm.
This is an ideal place to go for a dip and
enjoy nature with a barbecue dinner.
The first day of your journey culminates
with the flavor of rice wine in the
beautiful cave.
THE THIRD LARGEST CAVE IN
THE WORLD
To conquer En Cave, you
have to be up for 2 days
and a night of trekking
along the 22km trail
through rugged forest
in the scorching heat and over dozens
of streams as well as a couple of
hours groping about in dark caves. So
challenging yet so exciting!
Located in the center of Phong Nha
- Ke Bang National Park, En Cave is
On the second day (with full equipment
including headed flashlights, helmets,
and gloves), tourists can climb over the
uneven cliffs, go deep into the cave,
see fossils over 300 million years old.
As you gaze upon giant stalactites, ask
about the stories of the Arem people and
learn about their May festival during the
full moon or about the custom of eating
swallows. After an hour of hiking and
climbing, you will reach the back door
of the cave through a narrow path. The
cave’s ceiling gets higher and higher
until splashes of sunlight finally shine
through. Upon reaching the top, you’ll
want to take pictures of the surreal
scene and impressive vegetation before
you.

NOTE:
ü Position: Va Cave - Nuoc
Nut Cave, the center of Phong Nha
- Ke Bang National Park, Quang Binh
ü Itinerary: 10km of jungle
and mountain treeking in rocky
terrain, 3km caving in river caves and
20m traverse using rope and harness
in 2 days 1 night.
ü Tours: Like Son Doong, you
are required to join tours with
professional guides and porter team.
Oxalis has 3 tours of Va Cave per
week. Maximum 8 participants per
tour. Prices start at VND9,000,000
per person. Contact: 052 3677 678,
website www.oxalis.com.vn
ü Time: The dry season (from
December to July) is best to cross
streams more easily and avoid
leeches.
ü Luggage: You need to
bring your own personal items and
necessities (clothes, sunglasses,
towel, sunscreen, insect repellent,
hat, water bottle, shoes, and
sandals) which will be carried by the
porter team. Personal protective
equipment (helmet, gloves, caving
headlight, harness, dry bags, tents)
and meals are provided by the tour
©Oxalis Adventure / Thang Bamboo
company.
ü - Outfits: Choose shoes and
clothes which are elastic, quickdrying,
and drain easily as you need
to go through many streams. Wear
long socks, long pants and a long
sleeved shirt to avoid leeches and
plants that make you itch.
ü
Note: Keep extra water handy
when walking in the sun.
ü Taking photos: Use a
high quality camera that can shoot
well in low light conditions. Tripods
and specialized flashes are also
useful.

The stalactites are most beautiful and unique. Remember to take pictures to
capture the most wonderful moments of your journey!

THOUSANDS OF IMPRESSIVE
TOWERS INSIDE A CAVE
If you love spelunking but don’t have a
chance to discover the world’s largest
cave - Son Doong, Va Cave and Nuoc
Nut Cave might be the ideal choice for
your holiday. So different from other
caves, Va Cave is 1.7km long and features
about 1,000 nearly identical stalactites.
Quite distinctive and organic, they appear as
though they are sprouting from the ground.
Close by is Nuoc Nut Cave. The cave is has
two distinctive parts, the first being dry but
about 300m from the entrance begins a
stream which 400m deeper, flows into an
underground lake. You can reach the lake
from the opposite side by following a small
250m path. Due to their steepness, entering
these caves is quite challenging so you will
need safety equipment and support from an
experienced guide.
The best way to get there is to travel by car
from the center of Son Trach to K28 West
Ho Chi Minh Road (Ho Chi Minh Tay).
From here, it’s about an hour trek through
the forest to the mouth of Nuoc Nut Cave
where you will be equipped with everything
you need from helmets to lights in order
to make your trip both safe and exciting.
After hiking another hour along cliffs, steep
slopes, and complex terrain, you will arrive
at the camping area near the entrance of Va
Cave. Spend a night here and enjoy the quiet
atmosphere of the forest and mountains. Be
careful as the first part of Va Cave is quite
steep and slippery. With the helmet and
harness provided, you descend into the cave
following a rope.
Enjoy yourself as you reach the end of your
descent, try wading in the underground river,
and relish in the activity of climbing over
boulders and through narrow slits. Along
the way, the glittering stones will gradually
appear when illuminated.
One of the greatest challenges in the last part
of your journey is passing over the numerous
obstacles as you try to get to higher ground.
The stalactites are most beautiful and unique.
Remember to take pictures to capture the
most wonderful moments of your journey!

For me, taking photos along The
Ganges through Varanasi is the most
energy consuming thing I’ve ever
done. Not for any obvious reason,
whenever passing a burning ghat
on the bank of Ganges, I feel exhausted, I get
headache and want to vomit. I’m sure that I’m
not afraid of the images or the smell of burning
bodies, but I can’t explain why I get those
feelings.
An Indian boy who is about 23 years old
explained the meaning of this ceremony and led
me to witness all stages of cremating a body.
Each ghat’s capacity is about 300 bodies per
day. After spending time here, I felt like there
was no blood left inside me.
The Ganges River is exactly what I had imagined
it to be; however, what we can see is like the
tip of a floating iceberg. Beneath the surface
of these images is a journey in the footsteps
of true monks whom you can’t meet without
considerable patience. To understand the river
and people here, some weeks isn’t enough. You
have to spend at least 4 months here like Julia
Roberts!
One afternoon, after growing tired of taking
photos, I sat on the riverbank watching passersby.
At that time, an Indian man from New
Delhi came and started chatting with me. He
seemed uneasy and after a long conversation
I understood what he was concerned about.
While Buddhists venerate Siddhartha Gautama,
there is only one Jesus in Christianity, and Alla
is the Islamic name for the Supreme Being,
but there are 200,000 Hindu gods in his
hometown. “Now I just know Brama
since I can’t remember all of the
Gods”, he said.

erhaps, this is a key to why Indian society is so complicated,
their religion is so diverse and complex. Locals manage to
worship a multitude of gods at any given time, and then
religious conflicts occur.
That “Ganga” has practiced Yoga for 20 years. I asked what
he saw when mediating on the river bank. “Roaring tigers”,
he said. He went on to explain that when humans associate
with the Supreme Being, the universal energy flows into
them and the tigers he see are one face of that energy.
However, each person perceives that energy differently.
This reminds me of Eat, Pray & Love, a book about Elizabeth
Gilbert’s journey through many countries. Liz Gilbert
has experienced the same things when she studied at a
monastery in Mumbai.
People come to The Ganges to ask their own questions about
life, yet how many ones have already been answered? This is the
first time I’ve experienced the vast expanses of Indian culture
and religion. I hope that someday I can come back and have
enough time to see what answers to my own questions The
Ganges might be hiding.

When the bell rings for the first warm spell of spring, the grey sky gets brighter. Spring
arrives bringing colorful flowers and countless festivals with it. This time of year, Korea’s
nature and people both excitedly greet the return of spring.

Ideal places to
celebrate the
cherry blossom
season
The two most talked
about places to
welcome the cherry
blossom season are
Gyeongju and Busan.

Cherry blossom season
When spring returns to Korea, flowers, after
months of being dormant, bloom again like in
any other place. Cherry blossoms here cover the
mountainsides, haules of stream and roadsides
with its pinkish white petals. Depending on the
weather, cherry trees might flower as late as
March or April.
The whole tree turns into a mass of delicate pink
or white cherry blossom petals. Let’s all imagine
for a moment that we’re wandering under
the cherry trees and a gentle breeze carrying
the sweet floral fragrance causes a shower of
cherry blossoms to fall upon us. The scene is
so wonderful that we are forced to look up in
amazement at what we see: The grey sky is gone
and in its place now are the warmly pinkish white
petals. What a scene!
Cherry trees grow almost everywhere around
Korea. Each region has its own festivals to
celebrate the coming of spring, but particularly
the arrival of cherry blossom season. Family,
friends, and couples walk under the flourishing
trees in the cool weather of early spring, then
settle somewhere to enjoy tea amidst the beauty of
nature.
Come to Gyeongju, slow down
in the tranquil atmosphere here,
and contemplate the ancient
beauty of the old capital. The two
colors adorning Gyeongju’s spring
inauguration are the warm yellow of colza
flowers and the subtly pink white of the cherry
blossoms. Watching cherry flowers in such a
solemn scene as the Silla’s ancient capital is so
different from doing so in one of Korea’s bustling
cities. The serene Bomun Lake with the famous
Bomun gazebo is a common favorite. Relax and
savor the beauty of the cherry trees reflected in the
lake. Feel the gentle movement of cherry petals
falling down, and you’ve already taken part in a
most delightful experience.
Busan and Jeju, are the first places in Korea that
welcome the cherry blossom season. There are
several cherry-shaded streets to stroll down during
these cool spring days. Imagine again you are
walking on a street lined with cherry trees with
a light wind grazing your hair. Can you feel the
slight tickle of the pink cherry petals trickling
down from the trees onto your skin? The most
beautiful places to observe the cherry blossoms
are Haeundae Dalmaji Street, Oncheon Park,
the coastline in Igidae Park, Samnak Park, and
Namcheon-dong cherry street.
The list couldn’t be complete without mentioning
Jeju Island - “the kingdom of flowers”. Cherry
flowers here have larger petals than in other
places. For this reason, they are called King
Cherries. On Jeju Island, you can stroll down
roads either lined entirely with cherry trees or by
cherry on one side and yellow colza on the other.

Seoul is also a good place to check out at
this time of year with cherry festivals near
Seokchon Lake and in Yeouido Park.
Marathon in cherry
blossom season
In Gyeongju, the authorities and
locals celebrate the cherry blossom
season in their own way, with
a marathon. Gyenongju Cherry
Marathon was first held in 1991.
This year, the race will celebrate
their 25 th year. The Cherry
Marathon 2016 will take place on April
9 th with about 12,000 people participating
in the race. Runners can choose from the
full (42km), half (21km), 10 km, and 5 km
courses. The course starts at the Gyeongju
World Culture Expo Park and passes through
various parts of the city beneath the shade of
cherry trees.
Those who love running can register for the
Gyenongju Cherry Marathon on at https://
cherrymarathon.com:48271/etc/?vmode=05
until mid-March. The participation fee for the
full or half marathons and the 10km is 30,000
won. The 5k health course is 20,000 won.
Running through a shower of flower petals
with faint scent of cherry that the warm
spring winds carry to your nose promises be
among the most unforgettable experiences of
your life.
Notable Korean cultural and historic festivals
this spring:
Spring in Korea attracts visitors with not only
with its natural beauty but also by the cultural
value which is represented in many of the
festive activities. An array of festivals taking
place in early spring contribute to preserve
and promote Korean history and cultural
heritage for travelers. Immerse yourself
this festive season in some of the exciting
activities offered. Join the Namhansanseong
World Heritage Experience to try on
traditional royal attire, enjoy a tea ceremony,
make books and paper fans, enjoy a Nongak
performance, and attend a concert at one of
the Royal palaces including Jagyeongjeon,
Sugyeongjeon, and Gyeongbok Palaces during
the months of May, June, September and
October this year or go to the Lotus Lantern
Festival in May where you can learn about
Buddhism. Moreover, if you're interested in
exploring the culture and history of Korean
kings, then save the date for the royal festivals
in Seoul and Jongmyo.
The grey days of winter have gone along with
the biting cold. Spring is the time for renewal.
Come to Korea, get ready for the new year
ahead and let the magnificent landscape and
festivals refill your soul.

Exploring Vancouver is more like dating a girl than wandering through
a city. This bustling Canadian seaport is so beautiful that all I can do is
contemplate the magnificent natural scenes and urbane charm.
Located in mainland British Columbia,
this coastal city is home to roughly
603,000 people from around the world,
creating an ethnically and linguistically
diverse city. March to June is the best time
to visit and welcome spring’s countless
colors with lush green trees, fresh pink
cherry blossoms, yellow sunlight and the
blue sea contributing their beauty to the
cityscape.
“Fly over Canada”
I arrived in Vancouver on a fresh morning
before the sunlight has been able to warm
up the air. The chill didn’t matter though.
3 layers of clothes and a thin blanket were
enough to keep me warm to start my
journey. From YVR airport, I took the
subway to Waterfront Station, which is
only 200m from the seaport and Canada
Place Square. I still remember the moment
when I became mesmerized by the
scenery. The blue-sky blends at the horizon
with the deep blue of the sea speckled with
white sails while the sunlight illuminates
the tranquil beauty of the land.
From Canada Place, I took the Sea Bus
ferry around the harbor. The ferry runs
every 15 minutes and it’s a wonderful way
to view the seaport, a must-see during
your trip to Vancouver.

Capilano, North America’s longest suspension bridge
Whenever someone talks about Vancouver, he tends to mention the Capilano
Suspension Bridge. Built in 1889, the bridge was the longest and highest
suspension bridge of its day. Standing on this bridge, which is 137m long and
70m above the river, while gazing upon lush evergreens and listening to the
murmur of the waterfalls spurting from the craggy cliffs, feels like being lost
in a tropical rainforest. At first, I walked slowly, but the wonderful scenery
gradually transformed my fear of heights into excitement. I was completely
absorbed in nature, relaxing above green foliage, among centuries old trees and
fresh turquoise streams.

Suspension
bridge crossing
the Capilano
River, and it is
140 metres long
and 70 metres
above the river.
During the expedition through Capilano’s forest, I was particularly impressed
by the colorful wooden statues. After photographing them and asking locals, I
found out that they are totem poles sculpted since the 1930s by First Nations
people. These totem poles are considered a cultural symbol of the Canadian
Aborigines living on the western coast of Canada. This land features the most
totems in the world, and images of totem poles have become popular not only in
Capilano but throughout Canada. Totem poles represent the creativity, dexterity,
tastes, national pride, and identity of the original Canadians as well as human
thought and beliefs in general.
Stanley Park
After contemplating the beauty of Vancouver from the sky and swaying on the
suspension bridge, I continued my journey with Stanley Park - one of the largest
urban parks in North America and the No.1 on the list of the 25 most beautiful

parks in the world (with an area of about
1,001ha). I visited the park in the late
afternoon and began wandering along
a 23km trail under dense green foliage.
Vancouver always charms me with its
purity and tranquility.
The Vancouver Aquarium is a
completely different world within
Stanley Park, so don’t miss it. It is home
to more than 70,000 creatures including
beluga whales, sharks, sea otters, sea
lions, giant fish from the Amazon, and
more. Through the glass and from
above, I watched thousands of marine
species from around the world. Indeed,
this was a wonderful chance for me to
learn about marine life.
My journey to Vancouver ended after 3
days. Of course, three days is not much
for a travel lover like me but I know
that “we” - me and Vancouver - have
shared a happy time together. For me,
that’s enough for a romantic date of two
“people” who are half a globe away from
each other.
TIME:
ü The most suitable time
to travel to Vancouver is
from March to June when
the temperatures range
from 13 to 19 degrees
C. However, you should
prepare thick coats to avoid
weather changes this season.
ITINERARY:
ü From Hanoi or HCMC,
you can fly to Vancouver
with Vietnam Airlines,
Korean Air, or Eva Air.
However, it will be a long
route and you have to transit
several times. To save your
time, you can fly with Korean
Air so that you need stop
only once in Korea before
flying to Vancouver.
TRANSPORTATION:
ü To reach Canada Place,
take the skytrain from YVR
Airport to Water Front
station and walk some
minutes. Here, you can by
ticket to experience “Fly
Over Canada” or book
online in advance. For
details, please visit: www.
flyovercanada.com.
ü From Canada Place you
can travel to Capilano by a
free shuttle bus.
ü You can choose to visit
Stanley Park by foot, bike or
public transportation.
FOOD:
ü Vancouver is a culturaly
diverse city so its culinary

IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN THAT RHINO HORNS CONSIST OF THE SAME KERATIN
FOUND IN HUMAN NAILS AND HAIR AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE TO
SUGGEST THEY BENEFIT PEOPLE’S HEALTH. HOWEVER, THESE FACTS ARE NOT ENOUGH
TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM USING RHINO HORNS - “NAILS AND HAIR” - IN VIETNAM.
Blood, sweat, and tears are the
price for rhino horns. It’s not
only the blood of unfortunate
rhinos but also that of the local
foresters and police officials
who attempt to protect them
from poachers. Many are
injured and even killed during
these confrontations. The
battle to save the rhinos is full
of weapons, sweat, and blood.
Apart from some officials,
many professors and doctors
have joined the fight. They
and their family live in the
forest, near stables and make
all efforts to rescue this species
from the brink of extinction.

Countless
methods and
ideas have been
introduced to
protect these
animals. They’ve increased the
number of guards, set up more
cameras, injected poison into
horns, and have even sawed
the rhino horns to make them
useless to poachers. If you
visit rhino the conservancy
in Kruger forest, you will see
rhino calves traumatized by
their mothers’ deaths. These
“babies” are brought there and
fed with bottles of milk. They are
kept in a stable with a mature
female rhino so that they can
be acquainted with their new
mother.
When the breast-feeding period
passes, the mother and her
little rhino will be released to
the forest. Healthy rhinos living
in the areas with high density
hunting are taken to the transfer
station and sent to less dangerous
areas.
However rough, clumsy, and
slow rhinos seem to be, they
have extremely sensitive skin,
and at 40 mph (60kph) they
can run 3 times faster than the
world’s fastest human. Rhino’s
skin looks stiff, but it is soft and
very sensitive to insects. That’s
the reason rhinos love soaking
in water; to protect their skin
from being bitten. The only
thing this good natured creature
does is eat grass; nevertheless,
nowadays, their peaceful lives
are threatened by poachers who
are eager to saw off their horns
and cut out their genitals to sell
in Asia.
Africa is not so hot, poor, and full
of evils as people think. You must
visit it yourself to realize how
beautiful and rich this continent
is with its endless grasslands
stretching to the horizon and
countless animals such as lions,
leopards, zebras, gazelles, and
rhinos. However, within 100
years, the number of northern
white rhinos has decreased from
2,000 to 15 in 1984, and as of
2016, the World Wild Fund has
only one surviving male white
rhino on record. Poachers are
pushing rhinos toward the brink
of extinction. Meanwhile,
the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
confirmed that the West African
black rhinos have disappeared
completely as neither people nor
equipment have detected them
since 2006.
Strongly believing rhino horns
to be a panacea, wealthy Asians
won’t stop demanding this
pseudo-scientific elixir while
Africa has made every effort to
save the last remaining rhinos
on our planet. The increased
demand of rhinos is the main
cause for the threat of extinction.
What can we do now when the
Vietnamese demand is still so
high and poachers are doing
everything they can to make a
fortune selling rhino horns?
What can we do now to save the
last wild land of the Earth?
TRAVELLIVE 131

CHANGE VIETNAM
(THE CENTER OF HANDS-ON ACTION AND NETWORKING FOR GROWTH AND ENVIRONMENT)
TRAVELLIVE: Could you please tell
us about the roles of CHANGE’s
ambassadors in this campaign?
-- The ambassadors are famous
people with extensive influence in
society. During the campaign, they
represented our organizations by
appearing in the media with partnering
TV stations as well as press and
advertising agencies. They, together
with CHANGE, produce and deliver
public service announcements (PSA)
and print ads to call for people’s
attention, especially their fans, to bring
an end to the evils of trading rhino
horns.
TRAVELLIVE: What is Vietnam’s
position on the horn trade? How has
the demand for horns reduced after the
campaign?
-- According to the Illegal Trade
In Ivory And Rhino Horn Report
published by TRAFFIC in 2014,
Vietnam ranks No.1 in rhino horn
consumption! But now with state
support, several NGOs have put
forth enormous effort into various
campaigns; therefore, the number
of Vietnamese people consuming
rhino horns has decreased by 38%.
After one year, the number of people
believing in rhino horns’ benefits has
fallen by 25.4% according to a survey
conducted by the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
(CITIES) Vietnam and Human Society
International (HSI).
1,000 people from 6 cities (Hanoi,
HCMC, Danang, Hai Phong, Nha
Trang, and Can Tho) participated
in this survey. It can obviously be
seen that the rhino horn demand in
Vietnam has dramatically decreased
since the campaign started in last
August.
TRAVELLIVE: What are CHANGE’s
next events and campaigns to protect
rhinos?
-- After next year, the last year for
the campaign, “Stop using rhino horns
in Vietnam”, CHANGE will continue
with the project by enhancing our
social media power to disseminate the
message to the public, particularly to
businessmen and Buddhists.
CHANGE has also expanded its
outreach channels, and focused
more on bulletin boards at airports
where the target audiences often
visit. We are calling for more support
from leading experts in the field of
health such as doctors. Moreover,
we will keep inviting and welcoming
international stars to work as our
ambassadors in Vietnam. We are
preparing a big event with about 2000
participants at the end of this year
to summarize the campaign’s results
after 3 years of implementation.

TRAVELLIVE

ENV VIETNAM (EDUCATION FOR NATURE - VIETNAM)
TRAVELLIVE: Could you please share with us what you think we can do to help stop
the trading of rhino horns in Asia?
-- Tight sanctions and penalties as well as strict and clear law enforcement are
necessary to stop these illegal activities. We all know that the authorities have
recently discovered several cases of trafficking but many of them are “ignored”
without any strict investigation. We can only cut the trade lines by arresting the
“big bosses”.
At the same time, campaigns to reduce consumption also need to be strengthened.
Furthermore, not only Vietnam and other Asian countries, but also African
countries need better enforcement to stop rhino poaching.
If you would like to find more details or share
information related to saving rhinos in particular
and wild animals in general, you can contact the

TRAVELLIVE: What are ENV’s upcoming events for saving rhinos?
In December 13 th 2015, ENV cooperated with Red River Runners to hold the “Run
for rhinos” program with the participation of over 500 people. ENV will continue
to host public exhibitions and produce short films to raise awareness, reduce
demand, and spread the message of saving rhinos. We also encourage everyone to
inform us about rhino poaching via hotline at 1800 1522.
ENV is calling for the support of businesses in our campaign to reduce rhino
horn consumption and communicate actively to save endangered animals. ENV
is cooperating with luxury car brands such as Mercedes - Benz, BMW, as well as
companies like MG, Nshape Fitness center, Lotte, Vincom Shopping Centers to set
up information boards and hold events for the community.

GENERAL NEWS
HOI AN
Quang Nam's provincial
government has officially
recognized Tra Que village as
a provincially traditional craft
village. This agricultural village
has existed for over 400 years.
After a tumultuous history,
locals in Tra Que have changed
from fishmen on De Vong River
to famers and began developing
their rich agricultural tradition
in Hoi An. Tra Que village is a
favorite destination for many
foreign visitors when travelling
to Hoi An.
CAN THO
The Director of Department
of Culture, Sports and
Tourism for Can Tho City
has said that in 2016, Can
Tho will cooperate to get the
conservation and development
for the Cai Rang floating
market project underway. The
project is supposed to promote
tourism at the Cai Rang floating
market as well as in the Mekong
Delta in general. In 2016, Can
Tho city aims to welcome
1,7 million visitors including
250,000 international visitors.
TRANG AN - NINH BINH
The Ministry of Construction
has submitted a project
proposal to the government
to begin development of a
Trang An scenic landscape
complex which is projected
to be completed by 2030 .
The prospective site spans
an area of 6,226ha within 5
districts of Ninh Binh Province.
The proposal aims to ensure
uniformity in management
of zoning, safeguarding the
integrity of the heritagesite
according to UNESCO
regulations. At the same time,
the project aims to manage the
construction of infrastructural
works for tourism and
socioeconomic development in
the area.
SINGAPORE
In a move aimed at
strengthening security amid
the rise of perceived terrorist
threats, Singapore will scan
and record the fingerprints
of all visitors to the city-state
beginning June this year. The
fingerprinting will take place at
all points of entry. It's believed
that this move will help the
government verify the identity
of visitors before granting
them entry as well as create
favorable conditions during
procedures.

From the start of 2016, the
immigration provision for
citizens traveling to ASEAN
countries formally took

and a valid passport (valid for
at least 6 months) can travel
to other ASEAN countries.
Those who wish to stay more
than 30 days must ask for a
visa in accordance with legal
provisions.

without having to arrange for a
visa in advance. The country's
Minister of Tourism has stated
that they expect a 20% increase
in the number of tourists from
these four countries in just
the first 9 months of the year.
The Olympic Games will take
